Oh

we put a piece of birch bark down to get myself a surface my amber to land on okay so I'm just tweaking my tinder bundle which happens to be made out of cattail and jute twine and this is why I tell all my students always carry enough material to make a tinder bundle that's going to be dry and carry somewhere in your rucksack on your person or the case is

what lead inside my hand hold reduce some of the friction comparative nothing touches the ground but I want stop my fire ok so I noticed that my my boat was getting a little tighten it up a little dust pile down there hopefully all night for me see if we can get an ember pressures on raining it start hurricane can't even see my pile so doc see if we can get a number you

broke my kid alright well Mike it broke off right here at the edge so i made my spindle a little narrower and now i'm starting another spot on my heart so I can try again it's working on my depression it's my spindle has a place to sit you know when you do enough of these you can do them in the dark during hurricanes whatever the case is it's not a big to do it only takes a minute to carve it it just has to give a spot for my spindle to not slide away when I initially start bowing in the first place I start spinning my spindle alright it's just basically done just feeling on my thumb to see what spot needs to be brought down a little bit make a nice nice little depression for Cales try it again first you gotta do is burn it in downes off my amber I should burn in I'm going to car my notch

alright so I know it's really dark get to hang in hang in with me here let's see if we can get this going notches cut get some dust from last time see we can make a number bloating flame all right so who got a number excellent
