I am going to implement this into my alternative fire lighting session asap :) I love how accessible it is, even more so than the flint and steel :) also you look so different with long hair!
The missing tip included in this video but a number of others is the pressure. Not too hard world better. But in complete honesty I just tried using the corner of the milled lumber as a saw and pushed hard for a few strokes as if I was trying to cut one piece of wood with the other and... Got a better result! Almost immediately. No doubt putting the tinder close enough would catch as easily. I can't understand people who maintain this is the easier technique. Maybe if you have the perfect day... Perfectly dry ashes... Low wind. Plentiful cotton balls handy. Oh... And don't perfectly milled timber. I got closer with just the timber and in half the time. I guess I'll practice the technique more but I wouldn't be relying on it. To my mind this takes way more skill!

Hello. I was wondering how the WWII prisoners would acquire the materials for this.
My girls were blowing on the screen to help it light faster ha ha!
