The Bow Drill

Make fire the old way. Knowledge, technique, tenacity, and an expert coach. These are the key components to your success.

Become a Fire-Keeper. Insuring the old ways of fire-craft for future generations. Be a master of the "whirling wood".

A magical dance between oxygen, fuel, and friction. When these three works together in harmony you have success.
