The Bamboo Fire Saw technique is relatively easy if you possess the strength and flexibility to hold the bottom board steady while top boarding. If not, you'll have to improvise. You could secure one end of the bottom board in a log or boulder and place a heavy rock on the other end. Of course, you could place rocks on both ends. Another simple solution, if you happen to be lost with others, just have them hold the bottom board. That's what I want to demonstrate for you today with the assistance of my 3 friends: a DeWalt cordless drill and 2 deck screws. Please follow the LINKs below and SUBSCRIBE. Thank You!

Iam glad to see you do this fire technique again. I was thinking about you doing It the other day. Great job as always. Thank you for sharing stay safe and God Bless.
There's tinder bundles and then there's fat wood mountains to get er goin! Always a great video David and we so appreciate all your fire igniting videos. Thank you and God bless my friend!
The cool thing is you can mimic the parts of the bamboo fire saw with hardwoods to make friction fire. I've been successful with hickory and white oak so far.
I know I'm not David with the David West channel, but I can say that I have done the fire plow method many times, and it is the method that gives me the least success of all the methods I have used.. if you are, as you say, "lazy" you will most likely not be successful with that method.. keep trying though, you may succeed one day and prove to yourself that hard work is worth it..!!! Good luck
David we don't have bamboo here in north Alabama but what we do have is river cane. Most of the time it is fairly small in diameter but would half inch work. It resembles bamboo but nowhere as big. Maybe even smaller let's say 3/8.
That is Golden Bamboo that I’m using. Alabama is where it was introduced to the US. Wiki, Golden bamboo is native to China but has been cultivated in Japan for centuries. It was introduced to the United States in 1882 in Alabama. Since that time it has spread or been introduced to the Southeastern U.S. from Maryland to Florida, Louisiana to Arkansas and Oregon.
People don't realize that they have Golden Bamboo growing in their state. A Google search would confirm it. There are several nice stands of it where I live in upstate SC and around the state.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl I live in Maine. I assume it's more of a hot weather crop. We do have invasive form of bamboo that's more like a bush and near impossible to get rid of. But ill google it for the heck of it! 🙂
I was surprised to see it in Virginia. When I was trucking in the lower 48 in the early 90’s I don’t recall seeing it that far north. Now it’s up in Maine too 😮. Err ok not in Maine.
