You're the first person to demonstrate the minute step-by-step details of doing a friction fire to enhance success. Most vids I've seen on KZbin skip these tiny little steps like tying a certain knot or making the proper notch on the base board (especially the part that allows air flow in the back- never seen that before). The devil makes its home in the details of a thing. Thanks for keeping the devil at bay.

For those not familiar with what a "Cotton Wood" tree is, it is the common Poplar! The name "Cotton Wood" comes from the fact that the seeds of the poplar look a lot like cotton.

i love your videos! you're so detailed and thorough. the little specifics like 'lock your wrist against your shin' or 'use green wood for the top piece' are invaluable. and every one of your videos are like that, so information-packed i have to watch them a few times to absorb it all...but like, in the best of ways. i really appreciate the encouragement to think creatively about solutions. like using mre bags for water collection and carrying - thank you for not just saying 'you can use mre bags to get water' instead you showed several different ways to try and left the door open for your viewers to try that and maybe come up with more. your videos are genuinely enjoyable. thank you!

Corporal, Staff Sargent from Army , my uncle was at or in the Battle of Inchon & Chosin Reservoir and help raised me. So I was raised up by a Chester Puller , like guy. ( I loved him, because after Vietnam 🇻🇳 he and I could talk about stuff; sometimes with just a blind of the eye.) But , I like him carried my Tomahawk and my K-Bars (2) plus my Gruber Mark 1 and my Buck 10, in Vietnam 🇻🇳. I also carried 4 ponchos and two large C- 4 for cooking and coffee making. But , I enjoy your videos on everything. I am medical Retired Green Beret. I am crippled only by physical means but your videos my me feel alive again. They remind me of my youth growing up learning from Warriors , like my Grandfathers, my father, and Uncles and family friends. The crafts that you teach. I am damn glad that you are passing it on to your son and other s. Most of all to us old farts that’s mind is still 17 years old but with bodies that tells us we are 117 years ago. I will not munching the damn weight gains from being handicap. Thank you for the time travel!! 👍😎

I am uploading a bow drill to my channel very soon and have some other fire making methods. I haven't seen your videos until now, but I have to say this has been one of the most informational and helpful videos that I have seen on the bow drill method... Very informative, I wish I could've seen this video before when I was first learning. I feel like it would've saved me a lot of frustration. I've also learned using different woods, harder than this that to expel moisture and get darker dust to ignite is to keep expelling moisture from the wood when you are only getting light dust. As in, bow til you have smoke... remove the drill and let it expel moisture and steam and then repeat until you have fine dark dust. Thanks again for all of your info! :)
