An other good source of information is Ray Mears Essential Bushcraft.
And for the tinder go to a hardware store an buy the hemp the plumbers use. This is my stuff for my backyard bow drill training.
And let us know when you have done it! I will never forget how exited I was when I got my first bow drill fire going!
