This is the best video on this that I have seen. Well done
How the hell did this guy stay perfectly calm, composed, didn’t even break a sweat 😅. Man I love the British
Great video! Very well made and greatly explained.
I'm reading The Sackett Brand, and Tell just started a fire with the bow and drill method. Well, of course I had to see how that worked, what it was. So here I am. :)
That was cool! I think I will try that. Of course, the tools available might not be the same on a hike, but always have a good sharp knife.
I have watched a lot of videos on this, none quite as well described. Thanks for sharing. could use a boot lace or such/
After reading "The Mountain between US" it gives me a better idea what he had to do to survive in mountain. We take fire for granted, but when stranded on remote place, fire is your best friend.
okay this is an amazing turtorial thank you
Makes it look easy!
great video
wow this is a really good video!
That opening is hilarious: the problem with...matches, is they have moving parts and can fail. So I'll craft a 4-piece machine using 3-4 tools that I brought with me.
i know i will never use this knowledge, but its good to know
Useful knowledge, but in a survival situation be prepared to fail many times before you get it right. It takes lots of practice.
You can try it in your backyard right now

❤❤❤
👍
Now you have to do it all over again with a rock instead of a knife and axe. Any you have to make string from plant fibers or animal tendons.
Primitive Technology: Cord drill and Pump drill. That guy's videos has everything you asked for
It’s a nice video, and let’s be honest, he is telling you how to do it, on a nice dry day, with some very nice dry wood, with some very swish kit, but if anyone has been in a situation where you are roughing it on the bare bones of your arse, then you would know that, 90% of people watching this won’t know what trees are what, especially in winter. In a survival situation you are unlikely to find a knife just kicking about in the woods let alone a sharp one, and we English don’t just lord it about every day with a knife on our belt.
But it is a nice prim and proper video, and does have a place. Like when I was a kid trying to make what I saw on Blue Peter.
Simply fascinating and incredible, the man just, made fire. From plants.
What knife does he use?
He's like the Gordon Ramsey of fire
I did this but it took me all day. When you are pulling the bow back and forth the string tends to climb up the drill until it hits the block you are holding and then it's all over. This was the hardest part for me.
I have seen some people shape a little thinner part in the middle of the stick that the cord rides in. That way, the cord stays in that grooved area and doesn't climb up or down.
in which "survival situation" would I have a big ass axe and knife but no fire?
Many of them.
If you are hiking into the wild and your matches or lighter gets wet...
You could use a knife to cut the wood. You just have to cut the wood properly - you don't have to do it with an axe. It'd take time, but you could even smash stones together to produce a sharp rock that functions as a crude axe, which serves the same purpose. That's how humans did it before they had metal.
@@MyLittlePonyTheater Flint rock was the og axe before the bronze age which came before the iron unto steel age. Thank you school trips curator. Also flint was used in flintlock guns and pistol to ignite gunpowder in early firearms.
What if you don't have an axe or knife ?
The boy scouts used to use twigs and their bare hands.
No wonder a Tom Brown Tracker is so reputable
i prefer the videos where they start fire with NOTHING but your hands and what you find on the ground. this is nice as well but assumes a knife.
Ridiculous, While the mechanics are right, This completely ignores the extreme variables involved. By all means please attempt this.
I used this technique every day to cook and make it through sub-0 winters in the Utah desert. It works, I just kept dry nest materials in my bag. With enough skill, bow drilling can make a fire faster than using a lighter.
Interesting... so in a survival situation I’m supposed to use the rope from my trousers?... and if my pants don’t have a string ... then no fire ? Got it.
You can use your hands
??????? For a bow drill?.... no.. you need the bow
Shoelaces, Wood Nettle cordage, Stinging Nettle cordage, Milkweed cordage, Dogbane cordage.
Probably best you never leave the house at all if this is how useful you’d be problem solving in the wild.
@@dangp7 I didn't attempt to solve any problem... guess you didn't watch the video, id recommend starting there.
Well you're WRONG the species is not important. It is the charastic of the wood.
The inuit and northern natives did not use this method. You are very ignorant of the method used. Fake video.
Do some species work especially well and other species don’t work hardly at all? People may know the species of the wood, but it’s much harder to look at the wood and know its characteristic. Why be a pain in the ass?
These videos make me wanna be stranded out in the middle of nowhere with no equipment more than a knife at -10 °C surviving for a week.
So true 😂
