  • Hey Cedrik, I like to thank you for this great manual! I tried this yesterday in a nearby forrest and was looking for the same kind of wood that you are using in this video.

    It works and i was able to make a fire after 3 hours working :D It was the first time i tried this and it felt amazing to make fire like this!!! thank again for this great manual! Have a nice bushcraft :)

  • @NickVerver

    amazing brother, I am so happy if I could help in any way!

    Have a good continuation

  • Thanks for the great explanations, can you tell me please, how tight do you have your bow? Because I'm struggling with my attempts.

  • @aleco71

    Oh it is hard to explain ... You know it has to be a little bit difficult to set your spindle in, and your cord must not slip on the spindle when you are bowing. If it slip, you have to tight it up! The longer the spindle, the easier it is to install it in your bow

  • Woaw, thanks guy's I appreciate the good comments
