Fire

As part of the team building exercise today we were outside lighting fires using natural techniques. We were very successful with Flint and Steel, not quite so successful with the bow drill and only one person persevered enough with rubbing two pieces of bamboo together.

For more ideas see here

I managed with the flint and steel and my helper nearly set my hair on fire.

The blip is of the fires that we lit and then boiled some water. I won't be lighting the BBQ that way

A huge "Thank you" to our colleague Garry, who brought all the necessary kit with him and also for explaining it all so well

Home now - exhausted.

Nite
