EXCELLENT discussion. What type of saw do u carry, buddy.

[@drewjohnson4663]

Awesome instructional videos!

[@donovanbaker6835]

What knife

[@sct3339]

Thanks for taking the time to make this. I’m a 50ish year old woman teaching myself these skills!! Amazing how much you can learn from these videos

[@jduff59]

I had a great boss that took me out in the field a month after my training and told me "You learned by the book -now I teach you "Lazy Man's Way", which turned out to be common-sense, real-world application - using fundamentals but relying less on details that weren't all that necessary. It served me well. Aesthetics don't keep you warm at night in the bush. This was an excellent presentation and just makes sense -a real concept! Thanks again for all that you do.

[@richarddaugherty8583]

Corporal, that's not lazy... that's efficient! More importantly, it's effective! That was outstanding!

[@josephallen19]

completely agree with what you were saying at the beginning. Good show, man.

[@recall5811]

Thanks for watching

[@bsdnfraje]

You mentioned those fancy kits, and I wanted to share a tip. I make my bow drills in the field for the reasons you give. But the top of the spindle is the critical part, so all the friction is carried down to the fireboard. I have a small chunk of hardwood formed to my hand that I have press fit a bearing into to use as a handblock. Hit the thrift store and get a cheap pair of roller blades. Those wheel bearings are perfect for it. Or go to the hardware store and just get a single 1/4" bearing. It's a can't miss, and you can wear it on a lanyard around the neck even, like a pendant.

Teaching my 9yr old son bush craft/outdoor skills at the moment This is one we can learn together Many thanks...

[@scottsmith6643]

Going back through the catalog to watch older vids we (m' lady and I) haven't seen before. Great stuff, Sir. Cheers

[@mattmattmatt8984]

To call this bow drill design "Lazy Man" is such an understatement, because the ingenuity in keeping things simple and effective are not easy. This is by far, the best bow drill design I have seen! What an incredible design! Thanks, Corporal!

[@michellehaynes8577]

"the more you know the less you carry"

[@user-zo3wy4we3t]

Lazer eyes very good.

[@justinadkins8034]

Truer words never spoken, I carry a budget pack with space for tarps, line, take-down recurves, etc. At the end of the day I carry $40-$100 of gear and can definitely last more than a month. Tried and proven that knowledge is better than a expensive pack.

[@abcstardust]

Excellent video! This is a method we all need to know & practice just in case we’re stuck without fire starters. Thank you for posting!

[@OldBiologist]

Bow drill fire on a humid MS evening...check. My bride and I got it done with some willow. Yellow poplar is on the acquisition list. Thanks for the practical guidance, Corporal.

[@bpp325]

Outstanding AF demo Kelly. Literally in a few seconds you had embers. I've never seen a spark evolve this quickly in any other demos I've seen. Thank you sir.

[@Hondo782]

K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid , I have not made a bow drill fire in my life , I have been watching videos and trying to pick up ideas videos like this really are appreciated and I like a simple straight forward simple format . There is less to remember and mess up while someone like me is still trying to pick this skill up . Thank you for he videos Corporal

[@davidbrown9914]

instead of kissin butt, go do it and don't give up until you succeed.

[@thomasnugent7602]

Very good ideas. I think "lazy" is the right way to go in survival situations. Conserve time, energy and calories . They are very valuable resources ! Thank you very much

[@CommanderBacon64]

I agree 100% with your philosophy of survival and preparing for survival... practice makes better, not perfect! - Outstanding video CPL Kelly!

[@brittburton3264]

The reality of survival is that it bursts out of the shadows at you when you least expect it. You wouldn’t be expecting it, it’ll come out of no where. So what will you have with you at all times? Every day, all day? That’s realistically what you will have when/if some emergency pops up and you need to survive. Corporal Kelly is teaching SKILLS. Skills will always be with you.

[@ShoutAndBitesLoL]

I watch your videos for entertainment but someday I may need what you have demonstrated. Thanks for uploading!

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

“You are messed up!” That was so true. Our instructors differentiate between true survival and hobby survival and bushcraft. Keep it real!

[@MongooseKnifeworks]

Another great video! Please ask your viewers, when drilling the hole for the top spindle hole, to please place the handle on the ground or on a rock or log the way you did when you cut the hole in the fire board. Having punched a hole through my own hand once in a similar situation, I can vouch that it is unpleasant. In a situation like you describe, it can be dangerous, and with infection, deadly. No criticism here brother, just something I saw.

[@ChipNoon]

Fantastic. Reminds me of my days in Boy Scouts. Never had to do it in the Army, but we weren't as tough as you Marines...

[@davelowe8105]

Love the videos sir!! Thank you for your service to this great country of ours!!

[@mlsknnr]

Another excellent video. No BS, straight to the point, with the why's and explanations that a beginner can follow and learn from.

[@johnf7017]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge . Always so precise and to the point. No nonsense reliable info as always. Love your style of instructing sir!

[@Exist_Outdoors_]

Perfect timing! I’m heading out this weekend backpacking and a bow drill fire is on the list.

[@walterpalmer2749]

Getting the job done in a shorter time. Very nice.

[@WRHAP]

Excellent. Cottonwood plus mulefat AKA seepwillow are perfect together as they are both riparian species often found growing side by side. Mulefat also has an only slightly higher ignition temp than yucca. In my area, next to the Kern river in California, both are abundant and were used by the local Tübatulabal tribe for fire making. If the tribes were up in the mountains though, they would use cedar. In drier areas, they might use yucca. Other tribes in other areas used what worked for them, but the process was the same. What works works. (Especially a nice lighter!) Thanks for the shortcuts.

[@EPGunman]

Between you and the Grey Bearded Green Beret I was able to work a bow drill set up and produce embers easily. I used birch for the spindle and hearth board, fat wood as a bearing block, and a little trash tree sapling for a bow (bankline string). As always thank you for sharing the knowledge. You are for sure correct that if it is an emergency survival situation the bic lighter first time every time!!!

[@seanmaher1789]

I really like the philosophy in this video! It focuses attention on the functional aspects of each component. This makes great sense to me, thanks!

[@mrwes100]

One of the best videos and message you’ve delivered. I appreciate it.

[@joeltower5964]

Very nicely done! Well explained and wonderfully executed. I'm impressed!

[@PhillicleFile]

Great information here brother. The intro sums up so much about the errors we see online in the groups and chats. Thanks again for all you do!

[@blackgirlprepper8218]

Thank you for your in dept tutorials. I trust watching your videos, they're not rushed, and you give valuable information.

[@FrozenHawkHunter]

When I go camping i take a tinder box with me. It has a chuck of flint and a steel striker as well as water proof matches a small piece of hemp twine as well as char cloths and bees wax all sealed in a small metal old wood stain can. I normally also keep extra cotton strips in the can as well to make more char cloth.

[@coty4234]

I'm going to tell 20 of my Marines to like this video, because two people disliked it... Semper Fi Corporal.

[@recall5811]

Thank you and Thanks for watching

[@AlabamaPilgrim333]

That was awesome. Well done. 👍🏽

[@andyperrine9987]

Great job as always CC!

[@FishTheJim]

I can't wait to try this out. I just need for it to warm up a little. Thanks for sharing.

[@etnrutledge8461]

Heck yeah. Actually putting it on the line and giving good instructions.

[@bobesselstyn4917]

yes sir thanks for the tips/tricks and bringing us to the table,take care

[@pnyarrow]

Thank you for a well presented, informative and entertaining video. You really hit the button (once again). Best wishes from across the pond. Nigel

[@scottanthony1616]

Awesome Corporal, thanks for sharing

[@runlevelzer0]

Great video, thank you brother. I've always loved the willow family... amazing plants. Easy to identify, exists around the globe in one form or another, indicates the presence of fresh water, provides construction materials and medicine... and is an excellent wood for friction fire.

[@ironbomb6753]

I like your no BS instructions. You are easy to listen to Corporal. Good info, good to go 🇺🇸 thanks

[@trailtimeadventures2022]

This is a skill that should be practiced regularly. There are a lot of people that cut corners by using 2×4s or the bearings from skateboard wheels, as a parlor trick. If you ever really need to use this skill for survival, it would be because you have either expended your resources, or you are trying to conserve resources; so being able to utilize this skill from scratch, the easiest and most efficient way possible is key. Bravo, Corporal!! I'll see you for instructor training soon. I am taking Off Grid Medic WFR next month.

[@JoshDooG]

Just Another OUT STANDING video Thank you Mr. Kelly

[@BBQDad463]

I really liked the video. Excellent presentation! Your lighter may wander off but your knowledge tends to stick around.

[@Mike-mn8wy]

As always..Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge!👍🏻

[@zackedwards7803]

Outstanding!

[@bushmansurvival5053]

Great tips. I like the idea of a rounded top to put your boot on. Clever.............

[@jamesmcclain9205]

still having difficulty with the bow drill but that just means i get to do it more often to become more proficient . thanks for doing what you do .

[@lclaypool20]

Really good video, You make it look easy!!

[@jeffsmith.3516]

Outstanding!!

[@RedRaven326]

One word: outstanding

[@RustyGunn7]

Neat. Simple. Quick. Thanks.

[@JayDMusic]

Love your videos Corp, thanks for making us all better.

[@TheSemtexCow]

Great explanation every time. First the theory, then a Haynes manual description step by step how to accomplish the task 👍

[@adamortner7172]

Amazing video! Added to favorites...no nonsense!!! Thanks sir.

[@jonathansevert8400]

By far the easiest and quickest bow drill tutorial. Thanks a lot!!

[@casualpreparedness2347]

I always appreciate these hands on tutorials. Excellent Video. 👍👍😎

[@semco72057]

I love how you made the fire and made the bow drill components from the cotton wood. I will be practicing how to start a fire again using the bow drill technique fairly soon and I thank you for showing us how to do this the easy man's way.

[@j03y67]

Economy of effort is efficiency. Anything more is aesthetic. This method is the proper one. Thank you. Semper Fi.

[@NewHampshireJack]

My Grandparents were correct, "where there is smoke, there is fire." This is a great skill to have when all else fails. Our brood of three are eager to learn. I have to say that in the Philippines, finding suitable wood species in our high humidity climate that is dry enough will always be a challenge. Long live the BIC gas lighter, mag bars and Ferro rods to get the job done most of the time. Cpl Kelly, another superior video sir.

[@donolinger6904]

Use an old Boy Scouts or All Person Scouts or LGBTQRSTU Scouts or whatever they're called now, trick. A small stub from a taper candle will usually burn for 10 to 15 minutes. They use candles to start fires with wet wood and there are plenty of substitutes to use instead of candles. Pine knots and fatwood from pines work great. So do cotton balls dipped in alcohol, bacon grease, cooking oil, vaseline or old motor oil. Other liquid fuels work too.

[@tomwilson7202]

That was outstanding, Corporal!!! I really enjoyed it!!! Thanks!!!

[@toneyjohnson8910]

thanks for the video most people make this sound so hard and they make it to complicated and you just explain it plain and simple. Also I like that you mentioned about saving a recourse your knife blade.

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Outstanding brother! Done the real life way. Excellent!

[@sassytbc7923]

Great video... will be trying this this summer and replaying the video for step-by-step instructions.

[@rogcav2008]

Great video Marine. God bless!

[@meldeweese6875]

Perfect " method. " Great " mind set."

[@stealthysteve1]

I was working on my bow drill fire today. Thanks this will help me greatly.

[@handymanalbert]

I salute you Corporal! I love your insight on survival: it's not all darn rosy like some people would like to think. When you're in a survival situation, reality might hit you hard! The way you present survival in this video and others is, in my humble opinion, way more accurate than tons of KZbinrs i watch in the winter. Your knowledge is immense. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@troytravis8598]

Thanks for the great video and thank you for your service. Both are greatly appreciated.

[@tonyc.9873]

outstanding!

[@DJ-ol5lf]

And VOILA, which means "Good to GO"! Thanks Corporal

[@tuiflies5869]

DJ it’s actually “Et voila” which is closer to “and there it is”

[@0LoneTech]

It's literally "look there". Tuiflies is correct on the meaning, though.

[@syakirshumasdi8730]

Clearly explained and demonstrated... Ouuuutstanding! :)

[@MrSapper21]

Hi from Romania. I've learned a lot from this man. Also seen the compass and map stuff.... Thanks for your time and efforts.

[@SwampValley]

Great demonstration as always 👍👍👍

[@williamkeil8414]

Excellent video as always

[@tacoamigo425]

Thank you. Very inspired to learn these skills. Im moving to the PNW in the spring. Grew up in New England/NYC (can you do urban survival if it's not done yet?), and lived all over since, intracoastal SC/GA, gulf FLA, high desert Flagstaff, and currently dying as a welder in Phoenix, although the heats coming off. I wanna teach myself so i can extend the knowledge you put forth to my partner, someday child, family and friends. You have the right sensibility when it comes to these teachings, and as you know, "many ways to skin a ___...whatever" Im grateful for your expounding knowledge. Please keep delivering. I will come back again and again over. 🙏

[@Dawn262]

Great video and instructions on how to do the most efficient way. This is how my Scout master taught us many years ago. Is how I still do it. I do have a ball bearing block in my backpack, but mostly do it with the carved out branch from the hearth board. A little green grass or leaves, and voila, good to go.

[@buchgeisterralf3251]

A "wow!" for the technique and a praise for the going through for you! Thanks for the vid. Now I have to find wood with similar propertys in germany....... Take care - Ralf

[@hilltopknivesandgear8103]

Great video! Always learn from you! Appreciate it!

[@jamescasello8100]

I am going to try that. Got some land in the forest and I want to teach my kids how to survive. I must first learn it from you, then I will show them. Love this channel you have. great stuff

[@dgriggster]

Great video! Thank you, sir!

[@mistastabs5840]

Thanks so much for inforcing the Bic lighter i said this for years. And it seems that people think they above using a lighter. They forget friction is a great skill, but also to me last in line.
