Pandas love them, so should you. We’re talking bout our friend Bamboo. If you find something with wood similar to bamboo, it’s probably going to work. It is used extensively in Asia for friction fires. There, the method of choice is the fire saw, but it works just fine for drilling methods too. I am going to use something called bugweed, also sometimes called wild tobacco. This description will be fleshed out later. Since I got better broadband, I don’t have time to write those long rambling descriptions anymore. Used to have all the time in the world whilst the video was uploading.
