Now that the heat and humidity has broke here in N. Florida I find myself making several fires a week. It's great fun with firesteel in hand and seeing what I can do. This afternoon I planned to make a firebow. I haven't done that since I was a kid in boyscouts.

I made an attempt this summer with my brother - and even with two of us we failed miserably!! We had a lot of smoke, but that was it. We melted through para cord and worked until muscle failure...

After some research, I think that our bow was too tight. I'll get it eventually though!

That's what happened with me and pit Jr, the saying 'There is no smoke without fire' just ain't true, we got plenty of smoke and blackened wood parts but no [censored] fire !!!!
