Bow Drill Set with my BK2 - Paracord 550 and local unknown wood & New Tarp Review

Basicly I think only when you can enter the jungle or your local bush with a machete and or a knife and make fire using a few simple items such as paracord and local wood that you collected and shaped in the place where you are, then you can say you actually got that skill.

Mac and I have been trying several types of local wood we collected during this trip or previuos trips and testing them out either in the bush and at home.

This is a footage that was taken using as dead branch that was hanging in the vines away from the damp ground and dry enough to give several embers. This is one of them.

I wanted to use my BK2 to go through most of the process of crafting my fire board from cutting wood for the fire board and splindle or drill (both the same wood) plus the hard wood for the socket and the one for the bow as well as carving the notches, which worked. I found it difficult, though, to carve and shape my socket using the my BK2, so I had the extra help of a little Swiss army knife saw blade.

i usually use a similar tarp, only smaller (2x3 meters). works just fine.

@bushcraftmyway I just bought a 2x3 meters too for smaller types of shelter. The 3x4 will be used only for my hammock canopy! Thanks bro!

Hey this is Marty that sent the socket to Dave. I'm so glad you like the socket. You did a great job on the video. Tell Dave (Mac) I said hello. Take care my friend.

@olmarnow Brother, we have no way to express our gratitude for all your help and the socket you sent us, man! Your help with the fire board made all the difference! Your socket, actually, made it much easier to make the fire using it than the one I crafted there! You are a blessing to us bro! God bless you my friend! Take care!

awesome job dude! i love making friction fires in the woods.. its soo cool to be able to cut wood and somehow manipulate it into giving you fire.. I love it..

thanks for showing... cant say i know many people that can start a friction fire in the jungle! your research has paid off my friend.

greetings from california,

@KonstantinKuehn Yes brother, it´s a great skill to master either here or anywhere else! Im really glad we can use it here, though, in the bush where we are, harvesting the components (but the cord) from the jungle itself!

Thank you man!

@giutoniolo Lol Borracha in Spanish is the feminine for drunk so Boots of a drunk LOL.

Yeah FARC seem to like wearing rubber boots for some reason,better off with your jungle boots and lots of extra pairs of socks.

@heyxilong Thats him for sure! He´s coming back with a bunch of new videos bro!

@stuartsbushcraftblog In portuguese we call them: Botas de borracha (rubber boots) and the idea was to keep my feet dry but it didnt work out as it didnt rain but mt feet got soaked and wet just the same because of the sweat! I figured that if those FARC mtfs use them in the jungle than maybe they can work for me too!! How wrong I was! LOL! Im gonna go back to my jungle boots and I´ll never leave them home again!!
