Bow drill fire progress

[@thedriftingspore]

Good on you for trying. A very laborious process. You have lots of smoke rolling. I would say you will succeed.

Thanks, Jamie. It really isn’t easy is it? But I’m not gonna give in! 👍

My heart bleeds for you brother . Four hours is one quarter of the way

Good try, it`s a tricky skill to master. Have managed it a couple of times in perfect conditions but you have to devout hours and hours to the skill to master it. Does not make for very interesting video`s unless there is a fire at the end. 😄👍

I’m gonna try testing different woods with a battery powered drill,, watching the video back several times I’ve seen a few things that can be improved. I’ve got about six hours of footage over the last three days and you’re right it’s kind of boring.👍

@@badgerandthewoodsman Sorry if I was a bit harsh, but trying to help. People are pretty fickle, they are not going to be interested in all the failures you will have to go through, they will just want to know what works and how they can shorten their learning curve, all wrapped up in a human story with good scenery. Am learning and researching this stuff because getting fed up with loosing 60-70% of my viewers in less than the first minute. I have been guilty of making the videos I want to make rather than the ones my viewers want to watch.

I wanted it to be a journey. I know this is a long process and I don’t want to appear like I’ve cheated it. I agree, it would’ve got a lot more views if I had wrapped the day into a video, But I do have a problem editing 4K. And can’t dress things up as much as I would like I will drop most of the 4K footage start using 1080p. Just so I can combine clips/effects together without waiting five hours for processing. Looking like we got a few nice days ahead, will you be tracking out?

[@mark.a.cornish]

@@badgerandthewoodsman Yes, hope to get out. My computer will not handle 4k either, so do all my stuff in 1080p. I understand it is hard to tell the difference unless watched with a massive high definition tv screen, but no expert. 😄
