It was raining OK!
Not the heaviest of rain I will admit and the trees gave pretty good shelter - but dropped big plodges of water just where and when I did not want them!
I got pretty damp as I was using my jacket to shelter the prepped wood and I found it all a lot harder than normal...

If you're happy with the accomplishment in comparison to Terry's video I posted then so am I. You're a go for fire in the rain and 3x the prep.

You're a go on your solo o.n. too, John.

You're a go on your solo o.n. too, John.

Thanks for that
I can see what you mean about the rain not looking too present in the photos and understand your query.
I would hate to undermine your challenges with any thoughts that someone has got through by "cheating" or doing things the "easy way" - that is not what the challenge is about.
I will definately be leaving the Bow Drill fire chain until drier weather though - I just do not see it working too well for me in the curent weather!
Keep up the good work

Glad you see it that way, John.

Glad you see it that way, John.

To be quite honest - I am not that interested in the patch at the end of it ...it is all about the challenge and the fun! There is no point in taking part if you do not do it full on
I will keep posting up my attempts as and when

Nicely done with the ring of fire option! I didn't understand that all three had to be lit either. Thanks for getting that cleared up for us, the hardwoodsman way! You keep posting that Turley like that and I may just have to get on the famous list! Todd

That's a big fat GO!
Great job, man. All of those look like a sustainable fire which is the way it should be done.
It doesn't get any better than this example right here, guys.
