Oh, I'd love to bow drill with New Zealand woods!!! 💥💥💥🔥 And oh what a dream to, in New Zealand👍 🤯😊

Jason if you have mahoe you need to send your brother some 😂💪🏽🌴

Definitely was fighting with the wrap! I have to try some different methods, I do think the flat 550 was binding on itself more than the round. Still if there's a bind free wrap, I want to get it! Yeah man, my tinder bundles were sparse.... Should have done better! Rushing a fire definitely lessens the chances for success. Thanks for the assessment!

@@Level3Readiness sometimes you have to be careful about blowing on your coals if there’ small and weak you can really affect longevity of the coals if you reverse twist your cords you not sure if you did or not but this can make a difference as well

@@Johnhanddrill yep, I'll tell ya, after watching the footage, i likely had time to build another bird's nest and recruit one of the many newly formed coals to either try again or extend my chances of getting it to catch 🔥👍

Thanks man!!! And yep, happiness is underrated 😊👊👍🔥

Thanks 👍

😂 You should give it a try, don't forget to take some pre workout supplements before hand though 😉

@Level3Readiness I'd like to give it a try eventually. I'll keep watching and learning.

@@loggingart7978 it's addicting, be warned 😂

Thanks brother!!! Lord knows Im trying 😊

🤔... I like it...

Rings awfully true doesn't it?!?! Amazing what a pocket knife can accomplish in the right hands!!! And thanks brother, and blessings to you and yours too! 😊

Thanks! Hope ya have a great outing. I'll tell ya, I wasn't completely confident in that pole 😂

Nice video skills.

Thanks brother, and good tip on wrapping the spindle, never thought about that! Cause that bow sure drives hard towards the ground 😂

I haven’t done any bow drill in a while. Lol it raining here so maybe 🤔 soon been bored feel like doing something arts and crafts. Love the beginning of your video and your little creek

@@Johnhanddrill its great having water sources around, fun little spots to explore. The river system around here is fun too, hope to adventure out there this long weekend! Weather permitting 🙄

Wheeeeeeee 😂

I hear the words of welcome advice and encouragement coming in strong and much thanks to you!!! And all the best to ya in New Zealand!!! I so enjoy seeing those embers blown with love into flames! 😘🔥🔥 😂

In my "how to make char cloth" vid I show the exact materials, but just so you know one batch is from an old cotton bathrobe and the other a a100% cotton t shirt. I used the bathrobe cloth in this vid but got a nice spark to catch on the t shirt cloth a few hours ago!

By the way, has the rain let up yet?

Thanks, and again thanks for sharing and the encouragement! Still got a ways to go but enjoying the journey!

What contrast to the reality of a rainy Saturday huh ... And I have another fire to make but the weather just won't cooperate lol

And, "... prepare to Die!!!"

Fire craft is too much fun! I'm going after the hand drill fire soon!

@@Level3Readiness lol have fun that my whole channel is. Ancient fire, living skills.

@@Johnhanddrill gotcha! I'll check out the channel!!!

🤣😂🤣

Thanks man! Yeah fire and rain... Mortal enemies right?!?! It's supposed to rain here too, like every opportunity I have to be outside.... Go figure, I have to figure something out, im starting back at level 1 🙄

@@Level3Readiness I was wondering if you were going back to level one. I figured you were. Good call.

@@Xxxero42 thanks man! Keeping it honest 👍

Glad you enjoyed it!!!

Wow!!! How could I forget to check the striking capabilities 🙄 Valid point too, I'll be sure to post an update!

No worries I like the video maybe one day I'll post one of my own

@@cowboyup7096 yeah! Keep me posted if ya do!

Good points, funny how you don't see things till its pointed out, I am definitely stingy with the cloth lol I agree its way better to hold the birds next, just a guess but I think it allows more oxygen?

@@Level3Readiness I have long ago adopted the use of pocket bellows, I love them, very cheap to buy and they are so useful at directing and concentrating your breath exactly where you need it. I add a set to each kit.

Pocket bellows huh??? I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the tip 👍

​@@Level3Readiness , Listen to Dean , he is one of the 3 people I learned Flint and Steel from , I make a Sandwich ! Char clothe on both sides and Flint in the middle so the spark can go on either side , a lot of Char Clothe like a baseball catchers MIT , then I have a Steel gas line about 16 inches long I blow through to get Flame 🔥 , I can start 5 Flint and Steel Fires in 5 Minutes , but I learned from 3 of the best .

@@jimthomas1989 standing on the shoulders of giants, I admit, some great teachers out there!

Thanks man! My guess is a CNC machine did those marks, looks too uniform to me but who knows with ebay sellers though. So far I really like it, can't wait to see how it holds up to my survival challenges!

Agreed... I push these little blades too far 😥, still think its good to know how far you can push them while not having it ruin you if it fails. Just in case it's the only knife you're carrying when you're in a survival situation, no?

Thanks my friend, exactly what I need to get that level 3 challenge in the books!

Definitely not... Sounds like a challenge for sure though! Also sounds like the forecast here, gonna have to adjust my plans too.

😊 thanks!!! Glad you enjoyed it!!! Gotta preserve 😉

Hey! I really really appreciate that and Thanks for the support and encouragement!!!

Same here! Be patient for sure! I suggest doing some research on wood, I know good cedar always seemed to work best, though, it let me down on this attempt or more likely, I let it down lol. Have you posted any videos of the first two? Id love to check them out!

Thank you!!! Its a challenge indeed, much respect to anyone who tries and hopes for their success, i was bummed to have failed the three attempts but it does fuel my 🔥 to try till it happens, I was very surprised the kit I retrieved didn't give an ember the first try, but that's one thing for certain, there's many unknown variables at play when trying the friction fire. Thanks again!

Thanks and thanks for looking out for me!

Anytime

Yeah, Send your request to level3readiness@gmail.com. I think there's 4 spots remaining!

Fixed blade, pocket knife, , machete, hatchet axe .. just no power tools 😉

@@Level3Readiness awesome! Thank you!

Looking forward to it!

Huh... Never thought of that one!!! Another something I'll try!!! Thanks for sharing 👊

Don't mind at all, I'll get you the details 👊

So the level 1 fire challenge was to choose 1 tool ( I was given the challenge of using the freeman guide) and 1 match and striker, no accelerants allowed (fire starters, lighter fuel, etc) personally source and process all natural materials and make a campfire worthy of s'mores, Weiner roast or tea, you decide. Pro tip was to use the fire to make char cloth. Level 2 fire challenge was to use flint and steel and char cloth instead of the match. Also with completed level 1 challenge the option to upgrade the tool that's been chosen. There will be a level 3 fire challenge as well, I don't have details but will soon! Be safe, have fun and Good luck!

@@Level3Readiness awesome! Thanks for the info. I look forward to joining the challenge! I'll upload a video soon.

@@Xxxero42 great, I'll be looking forward to it!

"Finishing what I start and finishing strong"

Excellent advice!!! I'll have to put it to the test! Much thanks!!!

Yes that's what I see to remember keep the char cloth in contact with your material and also hold it up slightly higher then your face because fire burns up heat rises

@@cowboyup7096 yes sir! More good advice! Thanks!

Anytime no problem just offering some tips I've learned over the years and I use a piece of an old file as my sticker as well

@@cowboyup7096 lol that's great on the old file, one thing I like about them is they're pretty accessible for anyone wanting to get into the flint and steel game!

Awesome!!! I appreciate your support!!!

It was perfect weather! Thanks !!! And yeah, no call for help on this run!!!

Next time! For sure!!!

Thanks for the comment! You are spot on!!! I appreciate your enthusiasm for the freeman guide, I'm admitting it is very likely suitable for its intended purpose, just curious about its other capabilities and still enjoying the little blade as much as I can. Really looking forward to deer season where I hope it shines! Sometimes the knife you carry is the only knife you have, even in a hunting scenario, so my advice is choose gear carefully and know it capabilities as well as its limitations, check out prt 2 if you haven't already and check out what it was capable of!

@mrtobytwister, Thanks... I appreciate it!!!

Yrs sir!

THANKS for watching and commenting!!! And right?!?! Great information if you need bait for that next fishing trip, planned or unplanned!

Thanks @nifernark 😉

I know right... the system's already against the little guy 😂🤣😂

But first comment!!! i believe there's a few Sasquatches in the family 😂

Look again... No views... What the what?!?!

Seriously worth the hike, a great trail!!!

Congratulations on first, but gotta guess again on the weight, good try though!
