This is from my original journal posting for advanced training. Since this posting I have gained a valuable friend in James Stone who has taken on the role of mentor in so many things outdoor.
Since this lesson I have become addicted to friction fire and am now in week 10 of 52 doing the minimum one bow drill fire a week and have even been able to do a hand drill fire.
Had to call in a mentor—and very fourtunate to have STONE (James) fill that roll. I used this as time with my other Adventure IQ buddies to get some dirt time. James is able to break everything down so well—he made learning the bow drill fun to learn. I was able to get three fires using the skills he taught me—and all the guys came away with new skills and confidence.
