making a fire with sticks and human ingenuity is absolutely magical.  I never tire of doing it and it's always a thrill.  I've made a lot of bowdrilled fires, but it's still special whenever I do it.

Congrats Pappy.  ;D   It's a great feeling. You should be especially happy seeing that you got it with stuff that you just gathered.  That is a lot tougher than using someones already dry and ready setup.
What he said. Good job Pappy. After seeing this I'm inspired to go out and make another for myself.
