Making Hickory Bark Cordage and a Bow Drill Bowstring

Off camera, I was just going to try a little branch from a Hickory sapling to see if it was good for cordage like I'd heard. I wasn't planning on videoing anything.... But then, I was amazed to see how easy it was to process, and reverse wrap, and how very strong it was... LOL!!! So, I started out this video by making Bow Drill Friction Fire with that short little trial piece of cordage, then I go back to the woods to harvest a bigger Hickory branch for a longer piece of cordage. I really enjoyed this one. I'm still amazed at how well the Hickory Bark Works.... Please SUBSCRIBE at the end of the video. Thanks!
Watch a lizard doing about a 100mph run under the flaming hobo stove to hide... LOL!!! ... then decides it's too hot to hide there, and runs back out... It's in the last few seconds of this video. Thanks!
