SDS Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 "Step 5. Make a drill. Your drill can be made of the same kind of wood as the fireboard, or a different kind. Just as long as it doesn't have any pitch in it, is light and fairly soft. I prefer fat drills at least 1/2 inch thick. Other people prefer more narrow ones down to maybe 1/8 inch thick. If you're little and light, smaller drills are better. Start with a stick about as thick as your thumb or index finger. It should be at least eight inches long, and the straighter the better. I whittle my drills until they are perfectly straight and perfectly round. It makes life SO much easier! What will be the top end of the drill should be shaped like the end of a pencil, the bottom end should be a little more blunt. Take some time to get the drill just right. It will pay off...." http://www.wikihow.com/Start-a-Fire-With-Sticks :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I tried to start a fire in the woods once, but my drill stick was only three inches long. Well, there ya go... Someone had to say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
