With my dome hut completed I needed to make fire. The easiest method I know is using fire sticks due to their simplicity of construction. A soft wood spindle and baseboard were made of a fast growing soft wood and dried in the sun. Candle nut leaves were used as tinder and a stone flake was used to carve holes in the wood. The spindle was spun between the palms of the hand while the end was in a socket in the base board. The friction caused hot wood powder to fall out of the hole onto a pile of tinder where it ignited.
Having made fire I then made a small pot and fired it in the fire pit inside the hut as an experiment. The results showed that soil from the hut site was able to be used to make pottery.

I haven’t seen a fire made like this since I was in Boy Scouts in the 1970’s. And I don’t remember it ever working quite as well as you did it! 😃

What is a fast growing soft wood？

Wood that grows quickly compared to other denser wood. Most wood for firesticks will do if it’s low density. Harder woods may be more difficult to make fire with. Thanks.
