Here was my first attempt at a fire: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=583232
Since my first fire, I've experimented a little more and I've learned how crucial it is to take smaller steps. Before after I got a small fire, I'd throw in the big pieces of wood right away. I was more patient today thanks to some snacks.
I tried out the cotton ball and vaseline last night and it was great, however tonight I wanted to try without it.
This time I used my favorite knife. The res-c handle was really comfortable and the choil helped with the smaller tasks. Ban helped me reprofile the edge by taking down the shoulder and thinning the angle, it cuts a lot better!
I found an old piece of wood in the backyard to make shavings and curls.
After that, I gathered some bigger pieces.
