In this short clip from my DVD "WOODS WISE SURVIVAL SKILLS, FIRE WITHOUT MATCHES." I will build a fire using the bow drill technique. I sell a complete kit on ebay for $18.00 + S&H. The kit comes with a one hour instructional DVD, and complete bow drill set. My seller name is stickfires.

  • I have to practice this soon, thx

  • @Hartiger If you have any questions please ask and I'll do my best to try and help you. Take care & good luck.

  • @olmarnow nice video man, but does this work with any type of wood as long as its dry?

  • @free00to00ryhme Hey friend. Not just any wood will work. Avoid using hard woods like oak and hickory. Use soft woods like willow, cedar, cottonwood, basswood, sycamore and paw paw. hope this helps.

  • not to be rude but your video opening song /slideshow is a bit long

  • @bullseye887 Yea, I thought so too. I've since learned to stay short and sweet. thanks

see all

  • @iloveblowgun896 Do you have any seep willow in your neck of the woods? Mullein, teasel, elderberry, mulefat & horse weed works great too. If you have willow especially seep willow use it on a cottonwood or willow fireboard. Thanks for watching and for you comment.

  • i been working all night making mine now this morning it stat to rain are you sure this how to make for fire or make it rain lol

  • You are good what in the rain. I understand under some trees it is dry.?

  • @aldankuul This is olmarnow, but I can't access my olmarnow account anymore for some reason. Did you not get a DVD with the kit? Are you getting smoke and black wood dust? Let me know to the best of you ability to describe what your doing? I'll try to help you the best that I can.

  • I got one of your kits for my birthday, olmarnow, and i couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Could you make a step by step article or something?
