What’s included with your purchase:

Sotol is lighter and easier to use compared to other fire boards made of other types of wood. I personally harvested and handcrafted these Sotol fire boards.. They won’t look and feel like they just came out of a factory warehouse or woodshop.

I’ve found that Sotol fire board and spindles are easier and faster in creating a coal dust ember compared to other types of wood. With an ember ignition point of just 200 degrees, it has one of the lowest ignition points for a SPINDLE and FIRE BOARD you can use. A few stokes with the bow and it starts to smoke right away. This means that you’ll have fewer bow strokes to create a coal ember for your nesting material. This translates to a faster and less work which means fewer calories needed!

So if you have access to Sotol, then prepare for success. Sotol in my opinion is the finest friction fire making material in North America—it will spoil you!
