My first attempt at making bannock bread didn't turn out so well. I used too much of this, too little of that, coals weren't hot enough and it just tasted yucky.

Learning the bow drill can be difficult. Choosing the right wood for the bow drill, the hearth board and bearing block can drive a person insane with frustration from failure to produce a coal when it seemed like all the proper steps had been taken.
My brother was able to use his trousers for personal flotation! This is a technique that my Daddy learned in the United States Marine Corps and he wanted to share it with us today.
Today I am using one of my favorite weeds as a hand drill and hearth board, and this is Horseweed (Conyza canadensis)!
Flame! Fire! How did I do it? First we gathered our supplies. Dad and I harvested a few Yucca stalks to use as spindles for the hand drill.
