Fire with a Hatchet and a Mylar Blanket
I haven't used a hatchet much since I was a kid, so I thought it would be fun to play around with this little bitty Gerber hatchet and see if I could get a fire going in the snow. The tree was a little dead standing alder which was used for the hearth, spindle, coal catcher, tinder bundle, kindling, and fuel. I used a piece of punky fatwood for the bearing block, and a strip of the mylar blanket for the cordage. Credit to my buddy wa_medic for the idea of using the space blanket.
