Joyous

Thank you for this inspiration

Burns really quick

After playing with some slate myself, it's very easy to work and actually can easily be made into nice art pieces! Just be sure to keep it as thick as possible, because it's extremely brittle. And unlike other stone tools, it doesn't do well at all with serrations.

I came back to see this video again, Have not seen anything from u in awhile...

Very nicely crafted and great fun to do. I will revisit your video for sure, if I am among the 4000 souls to survive armageddon. Thank you!

What a great video. Thank you for posting. Dog is super amazing, what a joy!

It sucks when you pump so hard your sweat falls into the embers and puts them out.

Saludos espero que estés bien quiero ver más video Dios te bendiga

That's a goofy puppernoodle you got there

Man I wish you’d get back to making YT videos

Best bow drill tutorial ever! Thank you!

I do that while driving my car to add airflow

I start fires by thinking about lawyers until smoke comes out of my ears and then knock the coals into a tinder nest.

Me gusta tu idea pero en vez de papel de aluminio le ponía una roca Para el carbon

You know how some people fall in love with someone and pick them as their number one even when their friends are like "why them?" This is the knife version of that to me haha Like yeah i know its not perfect but something about it...

Thanks.

Thank you for all your instructive and pedagogical videos! 👍🏽

Great video! Much thanks!

Great video! It's very well shown and explained. Deep thanks! Must all the woods be soft? Or is one harder than the other?

WELL DONE!

What about using the cartridge with the bullet and most powder removed, and powder on the tinder? Get a brief small flash out of the muzzle.

Out of all the teachings and demos I have seen this one really explains the concept and process. Can't wait to try it. I would love to know what type of woods you are using.

Lol I kept watching attentively thinking this fire is built without anything but hands and feet and whatever is in the rainforest. Then out comes the lighter! 😂

I have found slate looking tools , and thought no. Not hard enough. Most tools are harder flint typ rock . After this , why not . As a kid Iade slate arrowheads. Lately been knapping arrowheads of novaculite. Obsidian .very hard to do . These are definitely a game changer .

Ever since I saw this video (2019-2020?), I have loved this technique. This completely outshines the V-notch in every way. It reduces heat loss between burn-in and ember stages and eliminates that annoying pop-out. Hands-down the best technique I have ever used. And I saw it first on this channel. 👍

Was this maple green to start with?

What was the lighter material used to drill through the slate

Can you use wet sand instead of mud

That was awesome thankyou ill be sure to let you know when I make it happen

yeah yeah

Awesome tutorial 🔥🔥

FAKE VIDEO

If your lighter is dead, you can also take the flint out and untilize that. Probably will need a knife or something sturdy to get under the bits to get it out. And to scrape some flint off. But be careful. It has a tendancy to go flying and it is a SMALL piece of flint lol. I reccomend laying out your coat and doing it over that or something in case u drop it, if it drops on the coat its easier to find. If it drops on the forest floor u can basically say bye to it haha. Obviously its not a preferred method but hey, ya never know.

simple and brilliant !

That's such an awesome idea!

Out of sheer curiosity, would you mind me asking what sort of clothing you wear out in the PNW doing this sort of thing? Seems like you'd need some pretty sturdy raingear to be out in the woods and thickets with it.

Been harvesting fatwood for a few days, I'm going to attempt to make some pine tar today. I hope you and yours are well. Thanks

This was fantastic, thanks

Thanks 😮

Dude they feel like they're factory made when you skip through the making process and check the shooting process the stone arrowheads you made were surprisingly not just the prettiest out there but also able to hold that straight metalic like edge and not a irregular knapped edge like most stone tools out there are this is really special and probably arguably these stone tools were better than flint knapped tools

lol didnt even know the child safety exists thanks lol

Without having someone come here and walk me through it, I’d have to ay this was the next best thing and a lot quicker! Thanks for a great demo.

Dogs make every video better

Doggo's the real star of this video

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the hints. I'll give this a try sometime. I think it's not working for me b/c I'm hitting it hard right off the bat, no dust pile built up.

BETTER be in EXCELLENT HEALTH for this activity! I couldn't do it. HOW-EVER, this VID is excellent for showing the stages of using the bow drill to start a fire!!

impressive

Dont know any bushman that doesnt know this tune lol
