(See the extensive Playlists for all 3 of these techniques in the LINKS below.) Wood ashes will double the amount of grip that you have for Hand Drilling. I demo-ed A Horseweed Spindle on a highly degraded Honey Locust fireboard with Loblolly Pine Needles for the Bird's Nest.
Next, I thoroughly saturated a piece of cotton t-shirt with wood ashes and used an empty BIC to ignite it. I was going to just let it set there and smolder for a long time to show you the coal extending properties of ashed tinder, but the wind made me go ahead and send the Pine Needles tinder bundle to flames.
Lastly, I stripped out some Yucca Fibers, let them sit in the Sun and wind for 10 minutes, and then easily fire rolled up an ember in just 30 passes. The very hot fire roll easily ignited more pine needles.
Come see what amounts to 3 complete videos in one as we showcase the firemaking properties of our common everyday wood ashes! Please follow the LINKS below and Subscribe. Thank You!
