Hey guys,
Many of you have probably heard by now, of the new Wilderness Wiki, Klippe. Kev Estela sent me a few photos of a bowdrill being used, and a member on PaleoPlanet sent me a video of himself creating fire with one for use there. (Kev, I will be including in the article that the proper technique for blowing a coal into flames is *not* being shown in the video).
Anyway, I'd like to experiment a bit. I've set up the framework of the article, but haven't written it. If everyone just throws in a few pieces, there will be an excellent article in no time. All you have to do is click 'edit'. Anyone who has used a bow drill before is welcome and wanted there!
Check out the video and photo here!
