This is a very old way, difficult and requiring great patience. From fresh, flexible branch of length 45-60 CM and a string or belt, we construct an arc. We wrap his chord around the wooden rod of length 20-30 cm and diameter 2 cm, made of hard, dry and one -burned wood, which will serve as a "drill". At its tightened end, on the side of the hand, We apply a "sheath", which we will press during the surgery. It can be made of shells, stone, a piece of wood, cup wrapped in a cloth or nut shells.
Dry wood, preferably willow, We make a thickness base 1-3 cm. On the upper surface we drill the cavity ok. 1 cm, On the bottom, the groove in the shape of an inverted letter V, in which wooden dust accumulates, made by a drill. We put the fireplace at the end of the groove.
The drill rotates better, If the hole is smeared with fat. If it is resistant, stretch the chord more strongly. We piłeł with a bow, Until the end of the drill begins to smoke. Then we press the rotating rod even harder, Until the dust starts glowing like a cigarette fire. Gently remove the drill and blowing carefully cover the heat with a kindling. After obtaining the flame, add the kindles, and then wood prepared in advance.
Add to the forest – If we have it – some magnesium chips.
