    Every single time, Lonnie, you take the time to explain the various steps, and even the little sub-steps people might miss. You give us the reasons *why* we should use certain techniques, or why we should avoid certain things with specific situations and/or materials. I know I'm not the only viewer who really appreciates your thoughtfulness and your thought-filled explanations. By teaching us the *why*, you teach us to *think*, and that is the most valuable tool in our toolbox, whether we're just having fun bushcrafting, or are in a genuine survival situation. Thank you!

      Absolutely✅ Making some things seem simple make you want to Try and Do it.💪

      The ability to "think" or analyze when in a survival situation is almost worth more to the person's welfare than any knowledge they might have. To couple the "thinking" *with* the knowledge, one has a chance of surviving much surpassing those who are missing those assets.

      You know, to teach something to other people, requier that you completely understand the topic yourself. In that matter, Lonnie really comes true. He knowes his crafts, and that makes him a good teacher. I have lives my life in the nature, so not many people ads knowlegde to me, when IT comes to borreal forrest, but Lonnie sometimes do. And he is fun to watch, be cause he makes friction fires seem easy to make. 😉

    @badbadbob1 5 лет назад +33

    Wow this method works. I see you do 3 things no one else does. Your hearth board is one. It looks like you use the grove burnt before it for the dust to settle in. No burn in on the new notch is another I noticed. That axe set in the tree so you can use the edge to scrape with is simple but very effective. This is why I subscribe. To learn from the Pro. Thanks again Lonnie

    Twisting rope like that sure cramps my hands, but it is a good thing to know how to do. Great tip on tipping the bow down so the string doesn't rub! I have only made a fire this way once. Usually the string breaks before I get more than just a little smoke. You make this look so easy, but it ain't! Grat video as always!

    Great video my friend, good techniques too.
    Haven't seen many other folks, only attaching one end of the cordage.. most tie it both ends.but I was taught by a primitive skills/historian to do it the same way as you showed. He showed me a few tips like leaning & resting against your leg etc to stop fatigue. Look forward to seeing more video soon, best wishes to yourself & Connie 😊

  • @spider5001

  • @walterpalmer2749
    @walterpalmer2749 5 лет назад +10

    Lonnie, working hard. I like the idea of your cordage tied at one end of the bow but in hand on the other. Reducing tension on the cordage and whole process just makes sense.
    Also, angling your bow such that the bow cordage doesn't wear, abrade, against itself is a good idea. Good video Lonnie. Thank you.

    I have been practicing with an unsecured end of the cordage, It's hard to get the
    right tension, but once you find the "sweet" spot, it does work well. Thanks for sharing Sir! Cheers

Coincidence? I think not! Connie tell us, Did Lonnie have a friend named Tolkien? I'm just asking! Great video again my friend. I humbly thank you for sharing your Knowledge! Do you by chance smoke a pipe? HEHEHE! You are The Man!

We have multiple dietary issues in my household. Due to work schedules being 4 hours different I do most of thw cooking at home. Would lome to see more of yours and Connies quick cook ups!

    That reverse twist was very interesting. I wasn't sure what it meant. Cool trick with the axe to help get that bark off too. Doesn't holding the other end of the cordage make it tough to handle? I've just always seen this using a bow style with both ends knotted and attached.
    I tell ya, I learn so much easier watching your videos. Thank you for making them.
    I know I'm just a girl, but I do like to do these types of things outside...anything outside...when I can.
    Say hello to Ms Connie for me. I just think she is a strong lovely lady.

    • @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival
      @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival  5 лет назад

      Manually holding the one end of the bow cordage is a bit hard but it also helps to prolong the life of the cordage thus aiding potential success. I passed on the "hello" to Connie for ya. Like "Amanda" said below, you will never be *just a girl.* If it wasn't for you girls, us guys would not be here. And of course visa versa. We need each other. It is the fact that you *ARE* a girl that makes you special. I do like girly girls and manly men and prefer them to be such. On the other hand I see nothing wrong about a female that enjoys the outdoors and wishes to understand nature and it's bounty. I do not find that a contradiction at all. Go for it.

    Ty for your reply and as you can see I am indeed watching this suggested video I'd like to add anything Native American has my absolute interest and your reference to the Original People about saving the bark till winter to work on it was wonderful information and it seems either one of the people taught you their ways or you read a lot ha ha. Because of your gentle ways I would like to think the former. So much we could have learned from these spiritual people and yet ignorance wiped away so many and still have no respect for them ..in this time of uncertainty I find so much pleasure watching you and your Bush craft my name Wolf isn't my given name I chose it because I believe it is my spiritual guide. From my heart I wish you and your lady good health and see you on the other side. Safe and Well
