How To Make A Pump Drill with Willow Cordage To Start Fires

USING THE PUMP DRILL ~ Using the pump drill with natural cordage can be
difficult. As you apply down pressure on the handle the Willow cordage
will stretch which can disrupt your rhythm. I make sure to leave plenty
of room between the handle and the stone counterweight so my hands don’t
hit the counterweight after the cordage has stretched out. Once it has
stretched out the pump drill works great and you can build up a good
rhythm.
