How to make a bow drill fire

[claudius2u]

Then ignition material you're using is quite moist! Dry it in an oven at 200 degrees F, then store it in sealed containers, such as tins or plastic bags.

Good demo!

at 3:55 ur thumb looks weird



[MrBml1999]

[Futuresoldier121]

[sanchezhector28]

at 2:13 you can hear the fire say something

[gatehrdy]

well done!

[legodude238]

doing that on a woo deck thats real smart :)

[edlacey]

Great video - you're a good scout - BP!

[OUTDOORS019]

When your blowing on your bundle you want to blow from the underneath it causes more of a draft and I just works better

[ataraxic89]

I dont get why so many people use modern things for this?! Another guy said he BUYS the wood, kiln dried, for this at home depot cause and someone else said they put Petro jelly on it?! The whole point is you have NOTHING modern!

[GeckoGamers]

Yeah, if only my mom would let my practice my fire making skills...

[ahwolfdog]

@GeckoGamers lame

[GeckoGamers]

@ahwolfdog I know right! But I can't do anything about it.

[dude12po]

Thanks for blowing smoke at the camera lol.

[TheBladeSickness]

Nice! I would suggest getting even closer to your bundle to get the full effect of your blowing. great vid!

[bears7777777]

i don't use a bow drill i use a dewalt drill LOL you can use any kind of stick with it.

[profetarmageddon]

where does the original coal come from, do you put something in the flat piece of wood on the ground or is it part of the wood on the ground

[NUSKOOL15]

im preety sure ur not gonna find cotton balls when ur stranded

[ThuderBolt7]

It was more of a smoke bomb than fire dude... :O

Try getting a better bow and kindling... :/

Don't over blow, cuz your basically hyper-ventilating... ;)

Put da kindling closer to your face...

Keep making videos! XD

[etekballer14]

does the point of the spindle go into the fire board or does the blunt pointed part go into it?

Miniature cow sighting

[SNOTTYMIRROR]

your not bear grylls and your never going to be

[dlscwarrior]

in 2::14 you got shocked(no offense)

[pokermon919]

damn kid, you're totally future SAS material haha.

[TeamPlayer1011]

how do you get the string to rap around the wood?

[MenagerieRPG]

@TeamPlayer1011 It's a magic string trick. It's also called a loop.

[TeamPlayer1011]

o srry that i never made one. and also im not very good at magic so i guess i wont make one.

[MenagerieRPG]

It was a joke bud lol. Seriously, the string just loops around it - or you could even twist it around the drill before you completed the drill I suppose.

[alawoo01]

@TeamPlayer1011 try cutting a circular notch around the top so it wont slip.

[arian40]

dude u could of used a damn lighter and saved 5 minutes of ur life... lol

[marlo916]

[Hunter1000100]

[Trinitarian13]

[agentbongohead]

[86thmountmerrion]

I just showed that you only need to do it for about 30 seconds!

[drunkfux1]

nice vid

[86thmountmerrion]

Thanks!

[drunkfux1]

lol@the dog

[guitarkid2442]

did you have cotton balls in that bundle of tinder?

[86thmountmerrion]

Yeah I had a tiny bit of cotton just on top as a coal extender because the yucca fibers are too coarse to hold an ember because it just falls through the bundle and I didn't have any other materials to hand!

[bobmths]

@guitarkid2442 kid did a great job i like to put cotton and some petro jelly man mankes that shit last alot longer u can do it with used dryer lint to
