Sexy Friday – 20240809

TGIF! When one door closes (Olympics ending) another opens (NFL is back). That’s great scheduling hustle by the sports world. Also, only 60 more days until I can once again Release The Kraken!

Not to brag, but this is my 100th Sexy Friday post! I’m currently accepting applications for apprentices to take over. Please include pics. Also, I love that every week I search for the header footer with “sexy” and the image keeps getting pushed further down the list. Great job, everyone.

Survival – Personal Edition

Let’s remember some Boy Scout stuff. (Girl Scouts should forget their cookie selling tactics and replace those memories with this) We’re going to start a fire without a lighter or matches.

Supplies

• Knife.
• Kindling. AKA small sticks and twigs.
• Wood. No, not more kindling. You need more hearty wood that’s dried out. Look for deadwood on a tree.
• Bow. This is a curved piece of wood and should be about 2 feet long.
• String. This needs to be long enough to attach to both ends of the bow.
• Socket. No, not the piece of tool. This is a bone (not that one dammit) or rock about the size of your palm.
• Lube. Sigh, yes. Whatever you got that’s oily.
• Spindle. This is a stick that’s about 1″ in diameter and between 1 and 2 feet. Round one end and carve the other into a point.
• Board. This is a flat piece of wood about 1″ thick, 3″ wide, and 12″ long. (Settle down D. Favre) In the middle, carve out a bowl .5″ from the edge, then make a V-shaped notch at the edge of the board with the wide side at the edge.
• Leaf/Bark. This should be large enough to fit under the V notch and will be used to catch the embers for your soon to be fire.
• Nest. Grass or leaves or whatever other highly combustible and natural substance you can find and form into a nest shape. Set aside for now.

Start the Fire

[Checks word count] Check in next week for the exciting conclusion of how to use those supplies to start that fire! In the meantime, stay near civilization where this whole tutorial isn’t necessary.
