The Bamboo Fire Saw - My All Time Favorite Friction Fire Method - Easy and Effective.

[@ItsRelyk_]

Are we finally going to get more primitive content again ?????? Love it

[@AllenZomberg]

That is awesome! Dry bamboo is very light to transport too, so this method is definitely a must try

[@whothefoxcares]

rubbing two non-native rodents together is much harder to start a good fire with.

[@bananajoe3669]

@@whothefoxcares Try it with a fire salamander and a few of dragonflies. That should work.

Starting to understand the value of frog poison. It starts fires and puts them out. Nature is awesome

[@muskokamike127]

LOL if you're going to bring a stalk of bamboo with you, why not just bring some matches? lol.......

[@iconforu2c]

That's awesome I had no clue you could do that with bamboo thanks Sean

[@Demasx]

I've never seen this method so clearly explained, thanks!

[@AB-ye7bw]

Getting the hot fingers seems to be your new signature!🔥🖐

[@tpl608]

I love that little kid like smile Shawn has when he makes fire. Lol

[@sdlock83]

That's his biggest appeal! Shawn has that child-like innocence in his demeanor.

[@usern4metak3ns]

Survival information is quickly becoming a fav genre for me

[@OldSchoolDudeGaming]

And yet these new contestants wait to get flint to start fire. I’m on here trying to learn just in case I ever make it on lol. I ain’t waiting for flint.

[@mrrollfist]

These recent video slightly remind of 2012 Shawn back when he was making & using primitive tools/weapons.

[@blacKdrone]

We were taught this method back in my youth with the boy scouts of the Philippines. Couldn't help but smile when that fire finally burst. Brought so much memories

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

Loving this series.

Thanks for all the fantastic fire skills, I hope to never need to use.

[@royreynolds108]

Nice to know different ways to make fire depending on where you are.

[@stephenbraun9951]

I’m really enjoying all of your primitive videos

[@cospittner3526]

Whoa - very clever method. Great video.

[@GreenSageOutDoors]

Beautiful video! Could be done with a sharp/jagged stone too effortless and also the best bamboo method I’ve learnt to date

[@KendrasEdge757]

That’s one I haven’t seen before or don’t remember it. Good job!

[@Cheeseybacun]

As an avid hunter of Panda bears, I will definitely keep this technique in mind, in case I get lost in one of China's numerous bamboo forests.

[@delt2743]

I want to try this. Thanks Shawn 👍✌️

[@ILOVEBACONBOY2018]

Love the content, thanks!

[@lukebaker1167]

That’s pretty good that one man!!! A brilliant series

[@pbxn-3rdx-85percent]

Thanks. I've heard of this method but never seen it done until now.

[@Caleb.syncfn]

Hi I’m a huge fan

[@honthirty_]

Interesting method, if you have dry bamboo, for sure. Thank you .

[@OnTheRiver66]

I like that better than a bow drill - a lot easier.

[@corey6393]

That was great. Never heard of this one, but I don't live anywhere near a bamboo supply. Next time I travel, I might have to give this one a shot just for fun.

[@unshdhGbzbs]

I miss the primitive archery videos so much, it's been over 6 years since the last video :(

[@TaylorsAuthenticTraditions]

Super interesting primitive fire starting method I will keep in the tool pouch. Sgi cousin.

[@claudettehernandez3402]

Thanks Shawn good information

[@user-of5zg1ww8k]

Looks like a lot of work, but, Thank you, Your videos are always entertaining to watch and learn from.

[@DalemGumino]

That's very easy. Where the bamboo fiber burns with the pressure that is supported by the weight of the body. And the hot dust of loose friction will accelerate the occurrence of coals.

[@amberdream1308]

Thanks for posting!

[@Sagemeister007]

Fantastic. I'm going to try this.

[@jand8303]

Thanks for doing this!

[@countsmyth]

Wow great video! Well done.

I am Asian. Yes bamboo fire is the best 💯 bamboo is used in everything 🤣 such a great plant for us

[@jackofnone9439]

Dude, you are awesome!!! I love your videos!!!

[@simonward-horner7605]

Marvellous!

[@antraxxslingshots]

Watching a few of those "simple technique" channels from asia, i think Bamboo is kind of a cheatcode to so many survival situations it´s not even funny. I bet it helped a lot to a quick evolution of mankind in that region.

[@larryhawkes1347]

Yes, that is a very effective method, but there are no places where I live in Utah to harvest bamboo. We have western River Birch, which with a Ferro Rod is extremely easy to start a fire with. 🔥

[@_-_-.-_-_]

I live in Asia and bamboo are all over. Please step outside of your house and I will javelin throw some over to you, Utah right? If you don't see them, please visit the neighboring state since my arms have been hurting a bit.

Maybe it would work with elderberry, if you scrape the pith.

[@JohnBare747]

Of all the hiking and camping I've done in 81 years I never ran into one single stalk of bamboo in US forests, a good method in South East Asia perhaps.

[@emmettturner9452]

I see bamboo forests in Georgia and Alabama.

[@davidcovington901]

I see bamboo frequently in NC and SC on vacations. Large and small types.

[@paulheitkemper1559]

Plenty by creeks in KY

[@LolPepperGate]

Seen it in the CA Delta. Bout it. But never looked for it either.

[@muskokamike127]

well, I just googled it and supposedly it does grow in the south eastern US....colour ME surprised because I've never seen it myself either.

[@birdman4141]

Nice

[@peppolobuondelmonte]

That is impressive 👌

[@debbiemilka2251]

Pretty awesome demonstration of fire starting. But , is bamboo all that easy to come by in hiking. Especially big ones like that ?

[@alvianekka80]

If you're hiking in Asia, you will find bamboo all over the place.

[@RavenBlaze]

Very cool

[@derkisdonenow6472]

I thought for sure it was gonna blaze up right here 4:03 with all that smoke i was wondering if you could do this with large river cane because bamboo isn’t something we just have around in the United States unless we plant it ourselves

[@fouresterofthetrees287]

I would like to know the RH when you were doing that. The RH is rarely as low here as it is in eastern Oregon. I would think it would be difficult to start a fire using that method if the RH was high.

[@mackkahlon769]

“woooo smokey” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dustinh4175]

Thanks

[@Smallathe]

Ok...I really have got to try it... ;)

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Did you come up with that on your own. I've never seen that one. Great job

This technique originates in Asia.

[@edgardovilla199]

I saw it when I traveled to Vietnam and Thailand. Villagers use this method a lot.

I would love to see some small live bird traps. Home made of course.

[@robertnekoranec5668]

They catch and roast sparrows in Asia. I would love to see small bird traps as well. I heard they don't have a gamie taste.

[@Roosterboy_00]

Short strokes are important to keep the heat from the friction you just made. If you go the entire length of the bamboo stick you’re only utilizing the friction heat from the piece in your hand

[@M3KAI5ER44]

i gotta try this

[@truebluekit]

Sean, not sure if you're gonna see this, but I saw this vid after the cotton and ash fire method. Just wondering, since bamboo produces some very nice shavings, would it be possible to use bamboo shavings instead of cotton? Would really be interesting to see... i hope you see this. Thanks!

[@Momslayer1242]

Hurray

[@tpl608]

Fire breath Shawn is the real reason he is successful. Like a fire breathing dragon. Lol

[@boots7859]

Love your vids, however how many people actually are going to find bamboo normally in the US or EU? More interesting would be finding finding a pine or hardwood in a damp forest.

[@patcolston2901]

Don't transplant any !!!! it's taking the south east over like kudzu.
