Sotol Sets Go to fullsize image
If you are a beginner a Sotol Hand Drill set is the set you want!  Sotol, a desert plant, is by far the easiest material to make a Hand drill fire.  As an added bonus, the fireboards are  made of Seep Willow to increase your chances of getting a fire on your very first try!
 

The 26" Sotol Stalk Hand Drill Set will make your first fire even easier since with a longer stalk you have more time to turn it in the fireboard before you have to reposition your hands. The 28" is even longer (and harder to get).

Teasel Set  Go to fullsize image
The teasel set is the most economical set to
get to learn how to make a fire using the Hand Drill method. The stalks that we will send have been chosen for their strength as well as the straightness of the stalk and are excellent specimens for making fire with.

Multi-Stalk Set (Teasel, Mullein and Horseweed Stalks) This set will give you a wide diversity of stalks allowing you to master the Hand Drill fire making method the multi stalk set is what you want to consider.  The teasel will give you the easiest fire out of the 3 while the Mullein will require a little more speed and downward pressure.  The cattail will be the straightest stalk but due to its fragile nature will require less pressure and more finesse to create a coal.
