Sotol on Sotol — Hand Drill
Pretty excited about this one. Got a Sotol on Sotol hand drill coal today! (Dasylirion wheeleri)
It’s not the first coal I’ve ever made, but it’s the first one I’ve gotten in quite a number of years, and the first time I’ve captured video proof that I can still do it, which felt really good.
Huge credit to our buddy Alex for bringing the freshly harvested Arizona Sotol, coaching me while I was spinning, filming the video evidence, and for the tip of using pine pitch on the hands for grip, which was a total game changer.
Also want to give a big thank you to Joe Lau and Phyre Dojo for the knowledge and inspiration behind practicing this skill.
We carried the coal into a nest and blew it into flame shortly after (photo included).
