“Ever try using a fire drill?” I asked.
“You know how to use one?” Jerry, their scout master asked with surprise
“Sure, a buddy of mine back home taught me.” I said.
Matt loaned me one of his laces and after about five minutes of both building the bow and working it I had a hot ember. Once I had the ember the other boys who had been trying to start the fire took over. They transferred the ember to the tender bundle and took turns blowing it until it flamed up.
Soon we had a big fire cracking and popping.
“You’d make a good scout!” Luke said.
