Great video. I got my first ember from a bow drill a few weeks ago and I was told that the spindle should be on the outside of the bow instead of the inside. Thanks for sharing Take Care.

Good points about the progression in knives and fire making. Until you understand how to work he kindling you really can't do much with a spark. I think starting a fire with a single match was a good task set for me as a boy. My first knife was a SAK. And I closed it on my fingers, so +1 on the lock blade. I now like my swisstool and fallkniven f1. If I could justify a third knife it'd be the fallkniven wm1 as a neck knife, but a hatchet or axe is another extra and it's all extra weight. The pl

Can't remember the last time that I favorited a video but I think it's time for me to add a new one up top. Thanks for the adventure Jordan!
Almost forgot to ask, do you prefer your bow spindle a bit longer and if so, is that to provide more bow clearance or do you just like a higher socket height? I kinda like the socket to be in the middle of my left chin but then I usually drag the bow on the ground unless I find a place work on a slight bow side decline.

@Patriot36 I'm always glad to hear from ya bro!
I probably have wierd body geometry when I do the bow drill but I preffer a spindle that is about 12" long because that keeps my bearing arm almost straight. I'll try to desribe my posture to you, my left arm wraps around my left knee under the knee cap, my right knee is on the ground touching my left heel and my chin is almost on my left knee. I find that this gives me a clear path for the bow and also gives me a lot of control on the set.
