Ashley demonstrates use of the bow-drill, using friction fire lighting methods whilst trying out a new bearing-block on top of the drill, we used two Limpet shells and it worked well.
Natural Bushcraft is a personal project aiming to provide a free bushcraft resource available to everyone.
Sharing Bushcraft Skills and Knowledge Freely regardless of age or status is important to me.

You'll like what I do to overcome the Limpet/Heat issue: Use two of them! :) I put one on top of the other and it seems to be a good enough buffer against the heat.
I highly recommend Limpet shells to people, however it is worth getting some really good, old, thick ones so they don't crack on you.
A quick note, I do fire demo's as part of my teaching, In my experience If you push your ember into the middle of you starting nest with a clear access for blowing you get a much faster result.
Also if you lift slightly above your head you don't get smoke blowing into your face.
