First Happy Holidays and that would be Elderberry on Cedar

@@boggycreekbeast Merry Christmas! Thanks! Is elderberry kind of pithy, or how else could it hold an ember?
@boggycreekbeast14 күн бұрын
Elderberry is pithy but more often than not its the dust from drilling that gets trapped in the tip or divot. That's how the majority of notchless embers form. I've demonstrated with 12 different plants on my channel and its pretty much the same. Now, the ember forming will spread to the pith if it's still there, say like Elderberry. That said, ember extenders like punk wood, dung or fungus are the easiest way to go when it comes to transferring to the tinder bundle. Hope that helps

Hey Lee! What's up buddy? I've heard it called that and Cherokee Lemonade is another name. It's pretty good. I forgot to mention it in the video above but this plant can put off a lot of dust during the drilling. Interesting thing about this is that when I've used it for the bow drill, with a larger diameter spindle, there was so much dust that once I got the ember going I blew the dust into flame! No kidding

What's the point of the ash? Can you use something else if no ash available?
@boggycreekbeast8 ай бұрын
The ash increases friction between the fibers and will help the cotton or other fiber grip to the rolling surfaces. There are lots of other substitutes for ash. I will include a link to a playlist of material that will work instead of ash. I have also performed this without ashes but that can be difficult. I have videos on my channel were I perform this without ashes or other substitutes. Here is the Playlist of ash substitutes kzbin.info/aero/PLPUSw5w2ZpSbwF9ZYN5JLCgUx1JS_H1fX&si=I4UwuWe3VqW7TQ9D

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), a medicinal & a flavouring agent at least since the early Iron Age. Closely related to Grand Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), a mild hallucinogen & a flavouring agent, Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) a flavouring agent, and Silver Sage (Artemisia ludoviciana) the sacred sage of the 1st Nations in and east of the Great Plains...

I appreciate your videos and of others who do this, but no one, and I mean, no one carries cotton balls around. All these fire making methods that require materials not found in nature or require having fire to get ash to use to make fire,, it's all gimmicky. The real deal need is making fire without anything man made and without previous fires. Can you use your clothing, part of a t-shirt, something readily found in your environment, etc.. Something you either commonly have on you, or something from the environment. Or both...
