In this clip from my instructional DVD, I will construct a complete Bow drill set with materials found only in nature. I sell a Kit on ebay for $18.00 + S&H. The Kit comes with a One hour How-To DVD & a complete Bow Drill Set. My seller name is stickfires.

  • did some one leave that 2 by 4 in the woods

  • @RJBURG Haha. Yes I believe they did. I do get a lot of comments on my 2x4. Thanks for watching.

  • ok i have two questions. the first one might be stupid but does all species of hickory work for cordage? cause we have several types up north here and wondered if you needed a specific species. and two, does spruce root work? i haven't tried it yet but i heard it's good and works well for cordage.

  • @mountaingoat47 1st question. I believe all hickory bark will work. Hickory is a hard wood and the inner bark should be the same. Now That's the experience that I have with hickory. 2nd question. I've heard spruce roots would work, but I've never personally tried them. I have tried pine rootlets and had success with them. Thanks for watching.

  • I've never seen this done before. It is definitely a skill everyone should have. I'm going to try this when I find a woods or forest (I live in cementville). Maybe I should scout around here for some of the materials. Thanks for this video!

  • @genmama1955 It is a skill everyone should have mastered. Stick with soft woods like willow, cottonwood, basswood, and sycamore. Avoid using hard woods for your drill and fireboard. Get out and practice, but I recommend practicing with materials at home until you've mastered that then move on the the walking in the woods with nothing technique. Thanks for watching and commenting.
