Make some firestraws. For this, I like to use petroleum jellied cotton balls, but you use anything like maya dust or fatwood saw dust.
Grab a McDonald's straws, one of the fat ones, squeeze the end with a pair of needle nose pliars and seal it shut using a lighter. Now cut the straw about 3" above the sealed end. Pack it with your tinder. Seal the other end shut. This is a nice little method as it lets you seal the contents, like a pixie straw, without making a mess. They are water proof and take up very little room.
Each straw is great for lighting a fire. Just slit the centre with your knife, tease out a couple of strands of the cotton inside and light with your firesteel. The straw itself will catch fire and regulates the burning. I timed about 2.5 minutes on one of my straws for burn time, longer than the plain PJCB because the straw keeps the main part of the PJCB compacted and dense almost like a little fire log.
RE the headpeace for bow drill. That sounds kind of cool. I posted a challenge in W&SS yesterday to see if somebody could put a divot for bow drill in a doan stick. I'm thinking of doing that myself.
