SURVIVAL REALITY: Fire Anytime with these Special Bowdrill Techniques (Extreme Weather)

Bowdrill Fire Making in a Rainstorm: from Wood till Ember till Fire. Dylan & Julius do a little challenge battle. Bow drill fire making in the rain with damp materials is very challenging, so some special bow drill and birdnest techniques are used that hopefully make us succeed in making a fire in these extreme weather conditions.

When Julias said I’m happy to see you, and Dylan replied with, this is what it’s all about. It warmed my heart

[@albertoplebani77]

These are the kind of videos you are superior to everyone else! This one was a tough challenge that quite no other bushcrafter engage! Definitely this is one of the best bushcraft channels! Merry Christmas and wish you all the best for 2021, you deserve it!

[@abhishekkulkarni9120]

Most bushcraft channels pretend that tools matter more for survival. But you're showing that skills matter more than any £200 tools. Subscribed!

Have you thought about making a bridge for those rivers?

[@thomas5942]

Cool idea

[@prasaite]

Almost time that river is small, lazy, shallow creek. So what sence spend energy, time, and materials for build bridge what willbe necessary few times in year?

That bow drill Julius did was so impressive! First drying the board out and then not even using a birds nest! Never thought it would've worked as well as it did. Next time just collect more sticks and have them ready on a dry spot beside.

Merrrrry Christmasss dear KZbin Friends! :) :) There was an audio glitch in the video, but I took that particular part out with the youtube post-editor. Enjoy! P.S. Smooth Gefixt recommendation, ''Shelter Battle in Extreme Weather": kzbin.info/www/bejne/anLWnHlprNWrisk

[@dekprei]

beautiful of nature in raining season. Enjoy your life.

[@komitadjie]

This was a lot of fun to watch guys, thanks! :) Heck of a great skill to have. Among other things, I think this has emphasized VERY well exactly why you want to be prepared for possible real world stuff. The amount of effort here to replicate what a pocketed lighter or firesteel could have done in seconds. An excellent example of what someone with expert skill CAN do if all else fails. And for the rest of us, to be prepared!

[@pearly719]

Love hearing the rain.

[@mackenziedrake]

An entertaining demonstration of why sparking off flint, as well as borrowing and careful tending of established fires were popular before the invention of matches. Happiest of holidays to you guys and your families!

[@AwesomeFish12]

This is why they built roundhouses. To keep the tinder dry!

[@Tipi_Dan]

An astoundingly high level of mastery under the most challenging conditions. Remarkably outstanding.

[@bittidude]

nice to see a real situation scenario, every one that has been in the forrest when it has rained for a longer period knows that its even hard to get a fire started with a lighter. Right preparations is the key to success. I ususally look for pine resin when its damp. It keeps the flame alive a little bit longer

[@mannytalavera900]

Watching again to get my smooth gefixt for the day

[@msespinosa5305]

Keep following you guys I love you both ❤💗🙏🙏🙏

[@jamieneil8450]

Another tip for you - use the whole length of the bow, you will get more rotations in the drill for the same energy of moving it back and forth.

[@AwesomeFish12]

Julius mentioned maximizing the length of the strokes to increase efficiency.

[@adambeck8180]

This is such a great video. I really appreciate how y'all explain what went right/ wrong with the bow drill methods you used. So cool that y'all go out into the wilderness even in bad weather just to challenge yourselves and try out new skills. One of the most entertaining and informative fire building videos I have ever seen.

[@inmyopinion6836]

I like an honest showing . Well done !

[@rifqifajarj1343]

Another way to make a fire 🔥.. 👍👍👍

[@weozol4065]

best thing i heard for bow drill is give it everything you got the first time, because you don't wanna do it again. also fat wood bearing block is great. a bumpy spindle grips para cord better than a smooth one and is easier to carve. impressive feather stick birds nest, i have not had good luck with those.

I'm confused; you guys have this really great (Yet unfinished) camp. You don't have a stash of dry fire fixings about? Or are you just trying to challenge yourself to overcome the environmental circumstances? You got a thumbs up on this video (as always) from me because one way or the other I appreciate the work you guys put into all this for us! Thanks....

[@mackenziedrake]

Hoping you're all high and dry there. Bella sounds like she's being a great wet beast. All the best!

Happy Christmas Julius and Dylan

[@Joker52186]

Happy yule

[@K0GNITION]

You want to avoid any moisture touching the bowdrill here. Notice the wood under my foot to prevent ANY moisture from soaking into the wood. Jager: 0.0 *wet nosed boop*

[@brandonkempton2573]

You guys should build a good bridge over the river (or a couple)

[@EvertfromNederland]

9:45 Smooth geknipt ouwe. But all crazyness on a stick, this episode actually was smooth geknipt with all the cutaways from previous episodes. must have been one hell of a job.

[@retrorival]

You guys are way too aggressive when blowing your fires start off slow and slowly increase make sure your exhale is steadily increasing in speed and blow into the centre so any embers that blow around potentially blow into the fire

[@akai454]

This was fun guys stay safe out there 😀

[@jonfox1919]

You proved the feather stick birds nest works so I'd call that a sound success. Have you tried the two rope method for your bow drill? It holds the spindle way way better and virtually eliminates slip, skip out and line breakage also allowing you to control tension. I've tried it a couple of times and it's a revelation.

[@kusapp.h4603]

Great video and good job with the bow drill in the rain. Bow drill with feather sticks, drying rounds...Maybe NW Primate deserves a shout out.

[@watcher3774]

Get the roof on the roundhouse so the rain wont be an issue. 👍 Hope you guys have a great Xmas. 😃

[@AwesomeFish12]

That would be a good way to keep the tinder dry. Definitely look forward to more roundhouse stuff. I think they are waiting for spring to harvest the reeds.

[@danielvh5933]

Dit gebeurt ook vaak als mijn neefje en ik proberen vuur te maken. Ik krijg het nooit aan maar als hij het aan heeft gooit hij er vaak te veel hout op. maar zoals je al zei leren we zo het meest.

[@lanecountybigfooters5716]

Ireland looks just like my home USA state of Oregon. Winter is very damp. I think 1/4 of my pack is tinder, birds nest materials and various fire extenders. Supposed to rain all day tomorrow and we're going out. Nice video! I always think, "What would Julius and Dylan do?" when I'm in the woods 😁

Christmas special

[@DaleStLouis-xb5mx]

Was I the only one thought they both gave up a little too soon? Dylan kept telling Julius "don't touch it, blow!" and I felt like he stopped blowing and took it apart to try again too soon, and then a while later, Dylan did the same maybe. I realize they had better "camera" angle than we did.

[@bigsaggyvaag]

I feel like either one of those attempts would have probably worked if he had better technique with the bundle, too rough with it, too close to it and blowing short and hard, needs to relax.

[@DaleStLouis-xb5mx]

@@bigsaggyvaag @Smooth Gefixt Do you guys practice with just the bird's nest and a tiny ember from a burning campfire? Easy to practice that way and worth it so you're really good at turning ember into flame into fire. Can practice all that, and bow drill separately.

Merry Christmas to you guys and to Jaeger the Xmas puppy. Lesson here is to have a boatload of dry shavings ready plus small kindling and then larger kindling before ignition. Pretty surprised you didn't have that but it's a good lesson. Good skills in getting it started in those conditions.

[@bgurtek]

I wonder if you could cross the river easily if you had a large "Otter" type plastic sled?

[@deanvanjaarsveld3415]

Not sure if this is true, but I heard somewhere that you can use hair under the spindle to help get an ember especially if you only have hard wood?
