A hand‑drill friction fire set with everything you need to begin your friction fire journey.
The set is build around a 22 inch horseweed (Erigeron canadensis) spindle and a eastern white cedar hearth board. This is one of the most common pairings of materials in the Northeastern United States.
The kit also comes with a large leather ember catch to place below the notch in the hearth board. Finally, some jute twine is included to be fluffed up into a small tinder bundle into which to place your ember.
The hand drill is a wonder lightweight, low‑tech fire kit but it takes practice to develop. This kit should give you a good head start because these are hand-selected and tested materials.
