One of my favorite aspects of your videos is that you don't assume we know every plant and tree species. You explain how to identify what we need without being a botanist. You're a gifted instructor.

I think what I like most about this video is that, if I were in a real survival situation and _needed_ to make a friction fire to stay alive, these techniques demonstrate what I could do with no tools and only using what was at hand. And throwing no shade on other RU-vidrs, but it gets tiresome when one guy says pull out your 550 paracord, and another guy whips out a bearing block with a skateboard bearing embedded in it (nice guy, that one, but still....). I mean, if you're going to be able to bring all that modern stuff, why not just bring a Bic lighter? To me, bow drill (or any friction fire method) means you have nothing else on hand but what nature provides. So well done, Tom, for getting one so fast and *only* using what was lying around!

Totally agree. Tom’s videos are all amazing. I think friction fire building is an awesome skill to know, but I don’t see the point in bringing those material with me. I would much rather pack a ferro rod as my backup fire source than bow drill supplies ( like a special bearing block). I love that this video doesn’t require a knife or cord. Honestly, If I’m ever in a situation where I need to resort to a bow drill, I can pretty much guarantee that I won’t have a bushcraft knife with me.

i come across the same argument over and over again. everybody is preparing for hardcore survival but no one wants to carry paracord, etc. i mean how likely is that you end up butt naked in a forest, far from civilization? part of learning survival techniques is to try to avoid getting into one.

Hey Gundog5, I used hickory bark for the cord, I could have used the basswood bark as it works great too. The handhold was just some random piece of wood and I didn't need to lubricate it as it was a hard wood and I was able to get away without. If it is an issue I normally put a small dab of pine sap in the handhold and that keeps it from smoking. I didnt need to preheat the set, the wood was pretty dry as is. It did go pretty seamlessly, ive been doing this stuff for a long time and have figured out most all of the kinks.

Thanks for your reply, Tom. I'll have to keep my eye out for some good bark cordage material. Something I haven't really worked with yet. I haven't worked too much with rocks either as they're not easily found in the woods of Florida.

Here's a summary 1. Find a type of tree that has a soft wood for spindle and fireboard 2. Make blade: rock that has high "ping" sound. Knock off flake 3. Strip off bark and round off ends of spindle with rock flake 4. Split larger piece of wood in half length wise 5. For cordage, look for a tree that has bark that's hard to pull apart. 6. Remove cambium layer from outer bark. The inner bark is where the strength of the cordage is. 7. Find a strong flexible stick, ~2 feet in length, and make a notch at each end. 8. Tie an overhand knot at one end of the bark. Insert the knot into notch. 9. twist the bark into a tube, insert the other end in the other end. 10. Find extremely dry tinder 11. Make fire 8:30

Thanks for this "pure primitive" lesson! Lots of bow drill tutorials start with "take a length of paracord or simply use your bootlace" as though that's a trivial detail. Then they pull out a $300 camping knife to whittle down their spindle and fire board to perfection! This is much more practical. If you have those tools on you, great! But otherwise, you are much better off knowing how to fabricate everything you need. Maybe in a future vid you can show more details of the fire board which as I understand it needs a notch to let the ember flow through.

Tom Mcelroy-Wild Survival Watching you start a genuinely primitive friction fire has inspired me to improve my skill level. I entirely agree that being able to start a fire under in any circumstance is critically important. I certainly hope I never find myself in a situation where I must start a fire using only such a knowledge of materials and a practiced skill set, and no modern tools. However knowing how would give me a lot more personal confidence in the backcountry or a city park. For me confidence is the foundation of all survival skills.
@wildsurvivalskills
@wildsurvivalskills 9 лет назад
Nicely said, I would add that confidence is also the result of good survival skills.

It's usually much quicker to simply abrade the ends. If you can find a biggish rock (like a boulder that's big enough that it won't move when you apply pressure, or a piece of exposed bedrock) just rub the tip of the stick against the rock as if it were a big piece of sandpaper. You can exert a lot of pressure, and you can vary the angle at which you hold the stick, you can shape it accurately and quickly. We have a lot of exposed granite here, and it is generally very rough. I've prepared bow drill and hand drill sets in a few minutes. Of course, in flat marshy areas, you're probably not going to find a lot of big rocks sticking out...

I think your method would be less time and energy, but he also taught people how to make a cutting tool. So essentially it was an important step in the process because he used that tool throughout the entirety of the lesson afterwards. You’re probably like me though and have a drawer full of blades and never leave the house without (at least) a folder. 🔪🗡⚔️✂️😅

Excellent video, you were explaining things perfectly. Did I miss you notching the fire board? Most bow drill videos, they do a burn in, cut the notch, then go back for the coal. If you did and I missed it, I apologize. It’s pretty rare to see a no knife, bow drill fire. I have all the tools and still haven’t been successful, lol. You also mentioned something else I’ve not noticed, telling us to use only soft woods. Makes perfect sense to me. When cool weather comes I’m going back to try, try again until I succeed. I’ve watched a few bow drill fires and many use different Oaks and pine, Thanks

Really cool!. I have watched a couple of your videos now on making bow drill from scratch. Showing how to make cordage fast from bark for a bow drill is something I haven't seen before. In my opinion, know how to start a fire without modern support is a big deal. I've never been super impressed that someone could start a fire with a ferro rod (that's really all about making a good tinder bundle). More impressed by someone that can make a bow drill and fire with knife and cord. But, I am always kind of wondering why they are running around in a survival situation carrying a knife and cord but, didn't think to bring a lighter (or matches whatever). I know it can happen but, doesn't indicate very good planning. Being able to walk out into the woods with nothing but your bare hands and make fire, build shelter, and feed yourself is true survival.

Until this video I hadn't seen a westerner make a bow drill set without a knife at least and they usually use paracord for the bow string, really cool to see . I was going to make this my next video to make a challenge for myself. I'll still do it but I might try twisting the tree bark into a tube instead of wasting time making cordage, I'm from Aus so different wood and barks I'll see what I have to work with. :)

ive started fire every way but fire plow so far with over 100 bow drill fires...the mistake i made when i began was to much presure its not the presure its speed speed is ya friend presure isn't! u can tell by looking at your punk build up if u are pushing to much i like to keep is dark brown like coffee grind til its a marble size pile then ill start the speed and once u see smoke atleast 40 strokes to make sure and u should keep the drill stick in the hole for 8-10 secs then slowly take it out! if its still smoking u got it! out of all the combo's ive try'd box elder with box elder is good here in kentucky! or box and maple has been the fastest also inidan sumac, burch,bass wood, willow, about any soft wood on soft wood is awsome, ive used pine ect it squeaks from the risin build up but works ...seems i have better luck useing same wood for spendle and harth weather its hard or soft woods! hope this helps (p.s. don't give up i got 2 coals from the first 35 try's) then after i noticed and kept in mind presure/speed =color color=dark brown if right! then u can make fire with any wood as long as its dry!!!

Haven't gone all the way to a fire, but I noticed I could grind a bearing block into a stone using another stone as a 'awl' and that I could grind/sand a point in a spindle against soft stone like sandstone which becomes an issue in the pine barrens where I can't find a hard piece of stone like chert.

@gundog5
@gundog5 10 лет назад
Very impressive. Out of curiosity, what was the bowstring made of? Which kind of tree bark? I'm assuming you cut down a sapling with the rock blade to get the bark? What did you use for a bearing-block? Did you have to lubricate it in any way? Did you have to pre-heat the set beforehand to evaporate any moisture (ie multiple burn-ins)? Did all this really go as seamlessly as it looks?

@EthanRodriguezTorrent
@EthanRodriguezTorrent 4 года назад
So that cut in the video... from him looking at that tree he wants the cordage from, to him having a nice long strip of cordage-ready bark... I mean, look, I don't want to cast aspersions, but I tried this yesterday with a few friends, and this is the exact step we found to be totally impossible: getting a nice long strip of cordage from a sapling with just your hands and a rock knife. Is this even possible? We tried several different tree species, and either you get some kind of split-down-the-middle situation, or maybe six inches of bark max before it peels out. Plus it takes like an hour of hard work with a sharp rock to actually cut down/into a tree of the size he chose right before the cut. Interested in experiences from others who have actually tried this.

I would've assumed that a hardwood breaks easily and a softwood bends. And does anyone know if the scratch test is accurate? I feel like you can scratch any tree. Thanks
@taitjones6310
@taitjones6310 3 года назад
On that point, he's referring to dead wood. All dead wood is going to break. And yes, scratching is an effective way to tell. To understand the concept, go scratch a piece of oak, and then scratch a piece of balsa wood. Big difference. Differences between native trees will likely be more subtle than comparing balsa to oak, but you can see that different woods have different densities. Another way to tell is by weight. The softer the wood, the lighter it is in weight and vise versa.
