Look up titanium-fire-striker-pendant-dragon in etsy.

The Composite bow came from a friend.

I will start with the Ti Dragon's tooth.

Ti is harder to strike but produces a hotter spark than carbon steel. Ignited this cattail fluff with yellow birch bark.

Compost bowdrill. This allows a longer bow to easily fit in my pack.

Allows for easy cord adjustment which doesn't slip.

A bit on the tinder bundles. I used Tulip Poplar bark, chaga, cattail and yellow birch bark.

I envy all the time you spend outside on your bushcraft. I really need to make more time for this kind of thing. It's good for the soul to reconnect with nature. I have to watch the video, I haven't seen the dragon tooth before.
