I'd use a bow... I would have so many blisters after this. Just 3 days ago i had my whole left hand bandaged as I'm completely unused to cutting with an axe from left to right
Your dog is instinctively keeping lookout. I had a stray mama that i saved when she was carrying, most loyal protective cool headed dog that trained her pups well🥲 they would orbit me as I walked and two would always move out front to check around corners. They were amazing. I miss them, true friends... all good dags go to heaven...
I wish I would've been born under your fatherhood. My dad just got drunk, and beat up my mom. Learned to not be an asshole, and to have compassion. Wish I also could have learned how to be self sufficient like this. Thank you for putting this stuff on the internet. It's better than nothing. I pray for some man, or woman like you to come into my life as a teacher, and guide because I Am not giving my life's energy to Babylon. I want to live, and thrive as our ancestors. If you read this and have any advice or tips I'd Love to hear it. Thanks again.
Donny would have been a great outdoor skills mentor when my parents didn't allow me into Boy Scouts and instead put me in a church choir at age 9 in spite of very vocal protests....it was 7 years+ of suffering...now i have a second chance!! Thanks 👍
Yah know, something just accured to me. Everyone always uses a relatively skinny stick for the spindle. If you use a thicker spindle and carve a small tip on it you essentially create a geared system, amplifying your output. Might be an interesting test.
No you don't, you increase the circumference of the spindle you will slow the rotation because you have a larger rolling radius, the distance to complete a rotation is greater than a thinner spindle.
The amount of work this takes compared to fire-steel is pretty astounding and the fact that humans lived like this for the majority of our existence is pretty wild.
The amount of work that goes into creating a fire steel and carrying perfectly dry tinder is also amazing! This will work basically anywhere in the world, doesn't require carrying anything, and can be done with damp materials with a little more work. If you are going to carry fire steel, might as well just bring a few lighters! Lol
My favourite technique is the friction one with two flat woods and a cotton tinder in the middle rubbing the two flat woods and boom, you can get fire in less than a minute
This dude has somewhat a striking resemblance of my grandfather who was a biker but the nicest man in the world. He's passed on. But every time i see this dude I think of my gramps cause when he wasn't in biker wear he was outside with nature.
I used to go semi survival camping before. Started when i 8 till 16. Just recently, i was at home preparing the grill for some fajita and grill chicken. The coal i was using was dry and didn't have gas so it was hard lighting it up and creating a constant flame. I had gotten impatient so i pulled out the rubbing alcohol bottle. I was first dripping a bit of alcohol around the flames, while it did light it up, it didn't do much. I used a cotton ball soaked with alcohol and dropped it into the flame. It wasn't enough. I got mad, so i pressed the bottle a bit to hard and it went directly to the flame. The flame traveled to the bottle and exploded on me. The alcohol splashed on me and caught my clothes on fire. The explosion of the bottle confused me for a bit until i felt heat on my chin, then i saw and heard fire on me. I quickly took my shirt off and started patting my shorts. The sun was hitting me so i couldn't really tell where the flames were. 2nd degree burns in 8% of my body. Burnt my calves, thighs, most of my left hand, and my abdomen. Now im scared of fire and alcohol. Still gives me chills and a headache when thinking about it
God bless that man, I’ve only been able to get it to smoke, granted, I have only tried a couple times. I wonder if this took quite some time. Short videos can be deceiving. I’ve heard from bushcrafters that they prefer a BIC lighter lol
See if you can work to make the stroke longer on both hands, as well as work more vertical length of the spindle. The super short strokes makes it harder with a lot more energy expended because it cools down every time you reset your hands. Idealy, develop the "scrubbing" technique where your hands aren't going down, because one hand is climbing back up the spindle while the other is applying downward pressure. If you are doing the short stroke because of calluses, I understand, my finger calluses are thick enough that it makes it like a speed bump, but it really makes a big difference to go from fingertip to heely, especially in less than ideal conditions.
ive seen some impressive thing and people whi can do the stick fire thing amaze me bit i have to see someone who can surpass primitive technology that man does it so quick
I noticed you mentioning a lot of the different types of wood used in your other videos for different types of tools. Any way you can make a video strictly on different types of wood, where to find them and best uses for each one? Also what types of rock do you use for making tools also?
I'm always fascinated by this method but the problem is that if you live in a part of the world where none of these trees grow😅, so I wish if there was a video that explains what makes a tree or fungus flamable? I managed to make fire by using rock , steel or two rocks and a char cloth.I want to get rid of the char cloth and use natural resources. thanks
You made this look easy. Quite a feat actually. May I ask what type of wood is used for the hearthboard and spindle? If my memory serves right, you need a soft wood hearthboard and a hard wood spindle?
I've only done this a few times to try and tbh the first time I had no clue was I was ment to be doing. Handy skill to have tho. A bit of flint is handy to have.
Кто знает английский. Подскажите ему уже наконец то что можно вместо рук использовать верёвку обкрутив один раз вокруг палки но перед этим верёвку с двух концов привязать к второй палке. Лёгкими движениями вперёд и назад можно крутить по оси вертикальную палку. Прижимать вертикальную палку можно камнем сверху.
The wolf dog walking up in the background was absolute perfect
I think that his dog
Definitely not his dog
Just a wild wolf who finally found a caveman mate to chill with after tens of thousands of years.
I was going to say WATCH-OUT FOR THAT WOLF BEHIND YOU!!!
Just a member of his pack of wolves that follow him around
You say "Fire"
I say " please dear God don't ever put me in a position where my soft hands need to use this trick"
Haha. No worries. You got it.
There ways to make it easier, like the bow method they teach the boy scouts
I'd use a bow...
I would have so many blisters after this.
Just 3 days ago i had my whole left hand bandaged as I'm completely unused to cutting with an axe from left to right
@@thomasflores7817 you must be new to his channel. Donny teaches the bow method as well!
There’s easier ways to get the spinning. Rope on a bow type setup. I’ve seen him use it before. Not sure what it’s called.

Dude love all the vids! There freaking awesome! Keep doing well sir! And teach everyone how to survive without technology
Will do. Appreciate you watching. Thanks.
Fun fact: Donny doesn't actually use a camera or the internet to run his channel it's all done with primitive potato technology.

I’m finding this guy when the zombie apocalypse happens.
To late it's already started. The zombies are already out there.
Plot twist. He geta rabbies bushwacking and becomes patient 1. But hes unstoppable because he can build all kinds of things.....
@@miked4152 call doom slayer
Your pup is gorgeous as always! Awesome firestarting video bro
I was surprised when I could start a fire with a magnesium fire starter and a cotton ball, meanwhile this dudes going full caveman.

You teach me things I’ve been using out on trips with my brother. Thank you.
Swear to God, I thought that comment would end with "than what school ever did" 😂

holy shit that’s a great realization you’re a genius, this should be common knowledge lol
I would definitely like to see this hypothesis tested.
A drumstick perhaps 🤔
No you don't, you increase the circumference of the spindle you will slow the rotation because you have a larger rolling radius, the distance to complete a rotation is greater than a thinner spindle.
@@Grumpy_CBG yes, thats why I said carve a smaller tip on it. So the contact point is smaller, thus spinning faster than the main shaft.
One of the greatest survivalist there is today. Your the man Donny. Respect as always brother.
I’ve always wanted to learn this I’m gonna go do it outside sometime lol
I definitely want to try. There is absolutely no better survival skill. Besides making it rain. Or stop raining…
@@thetruthexperiment ya all there’s left to learn now is how to rain dance

Pretty sure for the majority of our existence we were just cold at night
Dude is totally awesome
Appreciate you watching. Thanks.
Nice video
This guy starts a fire instantly! I see other people use a bow with the spindle and f around for about an hour! This man is the real deal! 💯
Amazing🤩🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good job keeping this stuff alive, especially playing the game to keep the younger generation interested through modern means.
So Greatful you have your companion in this short film ,I have been waiting so long 🐺
And one rugged good-looking man making a fire.😊💛💛💛
You got that right!!!
GOD BLESS YOU for teaching us this
That's damn amazing. I've tried this several times and it is much, much harder than you think.
Love the dog looks like a touch of tember 🐺 wolf butefull. Thanks fer the knowledge. ,☮️💯🐺🔥
Handrill fires are much harder than people know. Most people couldn't get a bow drill much less old handy. Geez dude. Good job
Yes, of course we love it! ❤️
You are the best..OLE TUS COJONES CAMPEON..from Spain.
When I was 20 I went to Botswana and watched a bushman light a fire in less than 5 seconds. None of us on tour could even get a slight smolder smell.
Season 12 of the walking dead your the man
do i ever go outside? no
but can i understand this guy is a role model of sorts. yes.
The amount of work you put in is impeccable keep it up and love watching your videos
These videos are awesome
It looks so simple to do, but when you try it you will realize that it is not easy, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We have this stones when hit together it produces spark... pretty handy when camping ‘back to the basic’. We skip the wood method😄
Naw i got to admit you are the coolest guy on this planet
Love your shirt man, I’m jealous!

Took the wind out of ya, lots of effort.
Respect.
This man knows the way
I have mad respect for this dude

best tip: Speed not force. Sounds obvious but very good to keep in mind
Man of the Bush, what is your wisdom?
Donny: *holds up dry grass* Fire.
We were beginning to feel sorry for you. And then we thought you'd set your hair on fire! But you got thru it, didn't you!?!?!!!? 🤣😍❤️

You are the man!
That’s what I call a hot foot 🦶
Haha.
Dog: Oh cool, the human's doing magic! I hope he summons meat again.
Me encantan sus videos.
good joob!!!
Thanks
I'm going to try this out
Give it a shot!
You make it looks so "easy", but atleast for me. It's hard as hell to actually do it. Respect.
Best passenger I’ve ever had
That wolf came by just to show its respect.
"As you can see, Timmy, the stick method is hard af. Next time bring your fire starter."

GL it will hurt
@@lmeza1983 It will be worth it, in the long run.
Good to see there's more still out there thriving we need more
God bless you you are nature lover like me
The way you were doin it reminded me of that scene in quest for fire when he watches that human tribe make fire lol
Looks so easy
I am actually going to try this!
I thought that was a wolf behind him, beautiful dog!!!
I love how clean your hands are!
Man's a firebender
I love that dog lol
Your awesome bro
U rock dusty .. haha get it 😁😁
Amazing that you can do this
This guy didn't discover fire he invented it
For some reason, I would love to see this guy fight Joe Rogan in Gladiotor outfits 😂.
This dude is an amazing caveman!!!
One thing nobody can make look easy because it's not lol one of the hardest ways to start fire!!!
Wow your videos are awesome thank you for the knowledge you are passing on through your videos
You make that look easy.
Man I got scared when the wolf showed up in the back
Ya he def didnt get it going on the first pass. That cut just before he gets the fire going 🤣
Damn he even became part of a wolf pack.
Wow amazing 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳👍👍👍👍👍
I thought he was Mick Dodge for a second!
This guy can play Geralt of Rivia
You are awesome love doing the same thing
ive seen some impressive thing and people whi can do the stick fire thing amaze me bit i have to see someone who can surpass primitive technology that man does it so quick

Nice form.
