Bow Drill Trouble Shooting: case studies in friction firelighting

By Geoffrey Guy

This book was prompted by a project carried out with students to see how effective the use of various methods of encouraging them to reflect on their performance would be when it comes to developing practical skills. In this case the skill was fire lighting by friction with a bow drill. During the project the students identified a number of obstacles which they saw and overcame or tried to overcome as they learned to light fire by friction. This book includes those obstacles as case studies and explains how to overcome each one. It is aimed at anyone learning to light fire by friction or even those who can already but want to refine and improve their technique and performance.
