Job well done mate. It would be good to see you do the Arctic strap drill in those conditions.

[@hobbexp]

[@shaunwild8797]

You are the God of Fire my friend. A knife and a nearby forest and you can make fire with the best of them. Thanks for sharing this great video. Enjoy the outdoors and please take your camera with you.

You have some great clear ice there. Ever tried making an *ice lens*? It's pretty easy if you can get clear ice. (I had to make mine in the freezer.) You can use an empty steel can to shape a very accurate spherical section. Of course, then you just need some SUN...

[@hobbexp]

ice linse,, its very little sun here winter time, just a few h / day, its better to be good at do bow drill and hand drill in the dark,, no joke,

[@EconoChallenge]

I was just stating to enjoy the first fire and boom .... ginger bread house. LOL That shot of the bottom of the lake through clear ice was really neat. How are you enjoying these short days??

[@hobbexp]

i dont now how hones i shoud be, im my family home now, from the 1600s, and i have a hot chick here with me and and lots of beers,, ooooh my god she said :) let me now if you like to have some help with the hand drill, and i also like to ask wher your headgear ( hat ) from ?

[@EconoChallenge]

I make them myself. Tell me what colour you like and I will send them to you to say thank you for all your help.

[@EconoChallenge]

EconoChallenge I am thinking that maybe you are looking at the Tilly Hat. I don't make that one. LOL

[@hobbexp]

[@TurtleBushcraft]

job well done

[@SpartanJohns]

very cool! Literally! I really like the sound the ice made while you walked on it! ... lots of beer and a hot chick, you say...that'll make long nights go by much better! ;)

[@ROBwithaB]

Do you know how cold it was? I tried the hand drill once in Canada when it was about -15C outside. Really struggled with it, because my hands were so numb and "stupid". Even a bow drill was difficult, but at least I got to keep the gloves on for that. Maybe I'm just not used to the cold, being from sunny South Africa. Perhaps you have some tricks up there, or you're accustomed to it, or your blood is just thicker or something?

[@pawwuk]

can you get in Sweden to catch pike?

[@hobbexp]

yeah i use to do that,
