[tomfarr56]

This is where I failed for my Firecrafter attempt in Boy Scouts. :(

You do make it look easy!

[scavenski]

It looks so easy when a skilled fire maker lights a fire yet so hard to do it on your own. Nice video.

[TheTribeOfBenjamin]

wow I really like this one. great video

[tojsiab100]

does that damage the bowstring?

[tim3jones]

@tojsiab100 Yes it does.

[AtScrysTV2]

[bullseye887]

man when you had the fire start going it really liked to die out on you when you wherent looking XD

[Nikita4ever9000]

This is the kind of stuff that one day soon everyone is gonna need to know how to do.

[Nikita4ever9000]

Would love to be able to hear what they guy was saying instead of the Music.

[tim3jones]

@Nikita4ever9000 I had music and me talking but you-tube people would not allow it, music copyright laws.

[swtchbckshtr]

[tim3jones]

@TheJosiah12345 Thank you my friend! :)

[jacksawild]

Do you use any sand or charcoal in the nook for better friction?

[tim3jones]

@jacksawild No i did not.

[PBTvids]

theres a place exsactly like where you are at my cabing in the poconoes. coyotes pass and go often

[tim3jones]

@PBTvids That's cool! This is in Okla.

I have watching your videos, and it seems like you may be in relatively close prximity to me- do you live in Omaha or Council Bluffs? Nebraska or Iowa?

[tim3jones]

@1013637I live in Kingfisher,Okla. Tim

[shoopwhoopX]

only second to a flint

[tim3jones]

@shoopwhoopX Yes flint and steal is faster.

[SkythMassaghet]

[tim3jones]

@SkythMassaghet I used dried deer weeds for tinder.

[ghaibboy]

[porchfinder]

[tim3jones]

Thank you.

[simnesan]

Great Job tim3jones

Persistence pays off and all of your video's prove it out. Great example for your viewers. I am getting close to a successful bow drill fire. Maybe tomorrow.

[tim3jones]

Good luck on making a fire with your fire bow, I like soft wood to make a fire with my fire bow.

[bushcraftbartons]

Job Well done! 5/5

[cameralens97]

Wow I tried it and it worked (After a few tries) I did great on the bow part but it took a few tries to get the amount of air just right when u blow

[IamMohawk]

Hey tim great job, Bro! I love this video and the Audio swap was awesome! Thanks for posting. Peace  James

[snocamo154]

You can drop the glowing ember from the fire board onto a piece of charcloth, if you need a little help in getting the tinder bundle burning. Carefully pour the glowing ember and blow on it to ignite the charcloth.

If you have no charcloth, you can make some charred punk wood. The hot ember will ignite the charred punk wood after you crunch up the punk wood a bit for smaller pieces to ignite. Gently blowing on the ember helps to ignite the charred punk wood. Use very dry and fluffy tinder.

[tim3jones]

COOL !!!!!!!  Thanks

[astrialkil]

If some one gets lost and thinks they can bild a fire bow to save them selves...they are fooling them selves...learn this at home with good tools and materials... this is not something U can self teach your self quickly while in an emergency! if U practice it ahead of time then U might save your butt.

[snocamo154]

You are so right, astrialkil. If you can't survive in your own backyard, you won't last a week in the woods even during nice weather.

I learned about flint, steel, and charcloth first then moved up to fire by friction. Never assume you will be in good health, if you get stranded in the woods. Hard to make a fire by friction with a broken arm or a bullet in your back.

Learn how to use flint, steel, and charcloth first to create fire; come back to fire by friction later.

[astrialkil]

nice vids!

U make this look sooo easy! ive tried this and after 2 hrs i couldnt get even heavy smoke, every thing must be nearly perfect. i tried to use natural sticks, my flat sneaker shoe lace and a half sharp Pakistani made lock back pocket knife, the bow was too short and too brittle, flat shoe laces twist up and didn't towork, the spindle wasn't straight enough and splintered . the base board wasn't cut properly. cant remember what i used for the rotator cup, I hear shot glasses work good.

[desertsurvivalist]

Awesome technique man! Love the music too!

[cabelashunter363]

hahaha me to

[tim3jones]

Thank you Bro!!!
