I revisited this video a while back and my wife stopped to watch. When it was over she asked me to teach her to do this and asked a lot of questions. I was tickled that she wanted to learn. She became a fan of yours that day.

Unmistakable smile when the ember burst into flame! I was smiling too. That is such a satisfying moment, never get tired of watching. It’s a skill everyone should learn, even if it’s never “needed”. Thank you Sir.

I'm training towards my first bow drill fire. I love having something to work on in the woods.

The best example of teaching something is to do it with little to no words. It is the observation that is important, and it is harder to retain what is shown if the teacher is talking. This video was excellent. Learning how to cut a proper notch on the base wood is a good piece of knowledge. As it knowing that just because you have smoke does not mean you have an ember. When it smokes pump the **** out of it till it's done. Thank you for a good lesson in making and using a bow drill for fire.

Went out today to find hints of spring, and discovered the reverse of your “practice makes.. better” quote.. a lack of practice will turn you back into a greenhorn! I broke my knife, sparked up a flame but dropped it in the mud, and then knocked over my pot of hot water. But all in all, an excellent day outdoors and lesson learned!

Good demo. Enjoyed it. Looks like bank line for the cord. I am not a batoner but the Bushcraft Black is made to take abuse. Handy socket tool. Wilderness Pine can be tricky for me. It needs to be dry, sap free, and solid like most wilderness woods. If the density is not right (often the case with Pine) or not solid enough I have to find better density and make another firebow set. Practice does make it better. Thanks for sharing.

While watching, I found myself taking a deep breath and blowing when you were blowing the embers in the birds nest.
I respect (and hate) you so much. I have worked myself into a lather on more than a few occasions trying to make fire with friction. Have succeeded exactly once. You do it without breaking a sweat or breathing hard. I'll keep trying though. Another great vid. Oooh-Rah!

My husband said just mold a clay ball put a divit for spindle to set into dry it in sun then bake in camp fire coals til hard. Carry with you in your pack or cargo pocket for friction fire palm socket. He say you may break a few in the baking to get one that turns out well. Oh he say best to cover it with tin or metal y build da fire around it when baking. Hope I relayed what he said right. He say do it like you baking homemade clay marbals back in old days but add the spindle divit.

I did that out of necessity (but more cylindrical and flat) and it works fantastic. The friction actually makes a gloss/glaze in the hole to make it even more smooth and it doesn't decay fast if any

Hey Corporal, you aught to give the friction fire roll a go. They work great and hold that ever expanding ember a long time. I believe it is easier than a bow drill, just making a flat 1" x 3" roll of fine tinder (cotton ball or jute fibers ect.) Cover with some wood ashes then roll it up tight like a cigarette. Place on a flat hard surface board or flat rocket TV h a top board and roll tightly. Th ed n vigorously roll back and forth until you see a whisper of smoke. Gently open up the roll exposing the lite amber and give it oxygen....watch it grow.

No it is mostly from the coal dust from the fire board, formed by the extreme friction/heat.

I slowed it down to see how you cut the notch. I see how you flipped your knife around to use the spine in order to smooth out the grove. I assume so the dust doesn’t get stuck.

I'm late, but what I don't understand is that despite my set being pine it didn't make an ember. I suspect it has something to do with the resin or I may be wrong and I just have to drill longer.

My instinct tell me the flammable resin of pine would be an advantage with friction fire making. Another video I watched said pine is NOT good because it doesn't create punk. Apparently some one was wrong.
