Hand Drill Fire Making | Can't Find a Drill??

[@Agent_Lemur]

This has been one of my favorite channels for a long time. Great quality and very informative and creative!

[@hawkpilot6-actual]

How do you not have 1MIL subscribers???

[@Agent_Lemur]

I've wondered that too

[@wildernessstrong6131]

Kind words guys, thank you!

[@aksalaman4689]

You guys put out quality videos, keep them coming.

[@wildernessstrong6131]

Thanks! Will do!

[@yoiyomismo]

I loved the part about how to identify rocks that would make great tools. There are not many videos about how to make stone tools where there's no flint or chert. Thank you!

[@stephengarrett8076]

Absolutely outstanding! It's one of those ofcourse moments! Thank you for this .

[@lisamcqueen8509]

Thank you, always enjoy and learn from your vids! Funny, but Donny Dust just posted a vid of bushman, and they used this technique! I have been using japanese honeysuckle, with horseweed, goldenrod and others. Have a great day, Steve

[@smucko1232]

This exact method is used in africa aswell. I recently saw a video of donny dust's paleo tracks where he was in kenya and the local guide used the same style of compound spindle. Great video and very informative.

[@wildernessstrong6131]

Hey that’s crazy. I just now watched it. We’ve been looking for videos like that which show this technique for years. Thanks for sharing.

I've seen Ray Mears teaching this very method to some Amazonian tribespeople who had forgotten their old fire making ways. That was over 20 years ago, so you're not the first, though you do it well.

[@sue_downing555]

I think that is something I can use, good tutorial

[@thefeatheredfrontiersman8135]

I can't believe I didn't think of this before. I've only been successful a few times with friction, but I'm definitely going to practice this summer.

[@wildernessstrong6131]

Great to hear! Report back and let us know how it's going.

[@threeriversforge1997]

Yep. One of the best investments you'll ever make is get get yourself a rear lower leg bone from a whitetail deer. Very square cross section that makes it a dream to use as a joint between the permanent end... and the working bit. Plus, the durability of the "socket" allows you to quickly swap from fire making to drilling to whatever. Just change out the bit for something else. When it comes to fire, you can always find a 3" section of your preferred wood that's straight enough. Throw in a hardwood shaft with a bone socket, and you'll catch the eye of all the cave girls!

Awsome idea!! I always thought about combine handrill material somehow with the bowdrill technic. This video gave me the solution! Thanks! I never had such a quick fire running! I used mullein with bowdrill!!! Is a huge gamechanger!! Combining both advantages from each other. Now, I wonder, why didn’t I found out by my self!! So easy, so powerfull and never having blisters again 😂

[@obond-zj2jn]

Thank you so much for your inspiration! I know some about survival and bushcraft, but you put it on another level! Worth like gold… Please never stop sending content! Best for you both, stay clever and healthy! O.

[@wildernessstrong6131]

Thanks for the great comment!

[@phinniginigin]

Nice video! NW Primate made a video similar to it but didn’t split the shaft. I tried it but failed because it wasn’t split like how you did it and just wrapped to the side like the video. I’ll definitely try this method soon once it warms up.

[@cavemanclayts]

I've run into that same problem. Im going to have to try this out. Thanks!

[@wildernessstrong6131]

Ok keep us posted…

[@azaba2007]

Awesome. I always wondered how people solved the problem. I solved it by cutting a bevel both on the shaft and the drill bit at the same angle and then tied them together. I wonder which method is better. I would send a picture but comments on youtube does not seem to allow that.

[@wildernessstrong6131]

You could send pic to [e-mail] Would love to see it.

[@edwardallen1740]

Do you ever find longer pieces of Fat wood like 3 ft or so?

[@wildernessstrong6131]

Yes, where we live that is very common because we are targeting the rotten Doug fir stumps which are often gold mines for Fatwood. The long pieces are very valuable for torches and also as spear prongs as we discovered for spearfishing.

[@edwardallen1740]

@@wildernessstrong6131 any chance of being able to purchase a piece say 36 inches long by 2 inches in diameter???

[@t.2157]

You haven't researched far enough into the internet for similar instructions because this same method and variations thereof have been posted on several channels for several years!

[@wildernessstrong6131]

Great to hear. Please share links, would enjoy seeing these videos or articles.

[@jerrittross8885]

😁👍🏽

[@Johnhanddrillproject]

Lmao I’d like to see you guys use ocean spray on ocean

[@richardnichols1392]
