I know this maybe should be in My Daily Bushcraft but it feels like such an achievement that I just had to SHOUT about it!! Today, I finally achieved success in starting a fire using a bow and drill and was rewarded with a roaring fire for my efforts!!! Even the wife was impressed and rewarded me with a well earned beer in my drinking horn! I feel like I've just been initiated in to s secret alchemical society where members can conjure living flame from base materials!
