After all these years and all these videos you still as patient and precise with these most important basics as ever. I find it hard to put into words how much I appreciate what you do for us all. Peace of the woods and all God's blessings be upon you.
Toothpick vs. telephone pole...a BRILLIANT way of explaining things. You, sir, have my respect. Keep on keeping on.
This series helped me unbelievabley. After several views, your step by step instructions led me to my first successful bow drill fire today!!!! Thank you so much Dave Canterbury. Keep it up, your hard work and vigilance to your UA-cam followers is greatly appreciated. Though I am up here in Vermont, I can still learn volumes from you! I would love to simply shake your hand some day sir. Thanks again.
Thank You for the Care you put into your Videos Dave.
Great little series Dave. Thank you for sharing.
Really enjoying this series, Dave. So much great information, it's hard to soak it all in. Thank you for taking the time and energy to produce these how-to videos.
Made a little fire today in my back yard after watching this series. Thank you for sharing these techniques with the level of detail you do. Absolutely awesome.
Once again...he is the absolute best, hands down.
I've been doing bow drill fire for a while, but still I learn something new from your vids everytime to talk about this topic.
I have to say dual survival sucks without you and Cody Your Channel is my favorite by far of all the ones i subscribe to I enjoy learning about stuff that peaks my interests and what you teach i wanna learn.
Dave great series TY, Hope you enjoy Holland there is a lot to see an do there, have a safe and enjoyable trip.......
That was the most thorough, understandable explanation of how to build a successful birds nest. Thank you.
That's some high speed stuff. I need get out and try that, ive never done primitive fire before. Thanks for making the FIRE series vids, they are extremely effective, and directly informative. Good Training!
Thank you, Dave! Great video!
im telling you brother, you have changed you image some how, and i like it...
i always have, your are a mentor dave ... thanks.
..bill
Godspeed to you Dave,Enjoy your trip
Great Series on primitive fire, maybe best ever, Well done Dave.
Safe journey over the pond, Brother. Look forward to seeing you when you get back. Thanks.
Good job Dave and thanks for sharing.
This is a very detailed set of videos well done.
You just can't beat that processed poplar bark. It's amazing even damp. If you don't trust it damp, fluff it up and leave it to air dry. It dries quick enough. Thanks!!!
You are a mad genius in your specialty! Thank you for the insanely informative videos, you are a fine teacher.
Great series Dave. Very well explained!
I love the look of satisfaction at 21:09. well done!
Thanks Dave, I needed the refresher course.
Best fire series I've seen. Thanks for making it!
Thank you Dave.
This video couldn't be better. It explains how to make fire as clear as potable water. ;)
all I can say is WOW how great is this video!!
fantastic demonstration Dave
amazing teaching skills dave!
As ever some great tutorials in this video Dave. Lots of good info here brother... like the new image too.
Dave, really nice instruction. With this knowledge I will have success with my next friction fire attempt. Anyone can master using a lighter or matches. It takes practice to master friction fire.
ear wax makes a good spindle grease as well. most of us have plenty of that on hand at any given time lol!
Awesome Dave, enjoy Holland.
Wow, fantastic instructional. Thank you for sharing a mere speck of your knowledge.
Another great video Dave!!!....thanks for the intell....keep up the great work!
Iv only been practicing the bow n drill for about a year, but I always thought the spindle had to be about as long as your forearm?? (@ 11"-12")
Yours looks half that!! maybe less? bet its much easier to control!!??
I always struggle to keep control of the spindle, put it down to lack of practice. I'm goin for a 3 day wild camp tomorrow, guna make me a shorter one n see how it goes.
Cheers brotha, your the man :)
That is nice information for those just learning to make a fire using the bow drill technique and I am glad to have learned about it and thank you so much for sharing this information with everyone.
Great video, Looking forward to your class on May 9
Great video sir, you're truly a master.

Will go out tommorow and finish my bow drill set and give this a go.
Great Dave !!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!
Thanks for the Demo, Have a safe trip and don't let the TSA steal your knives.
Thanks a lot for the video, It helped a lot. Have a nice day Dave.

Hello Dave
wow, this is the best Bow drill tutorial where I've ever seen! very well explained and presented all the little important things. I thank you very much I have learned a lot, fire drill is the master skill! who can make fire is the boss!

Yes the slightly more dense materials like bark obviously will tend to hold the heat & enable it us to build a healthy fire better. very educating to an old limey towny thanks.
HA! Ok I see now :)
I just used the bow drill for the 1st time & I got it going 1st try with flames out the top, then it went out.? I need to work on my nest!
I tried 4 different holes, wore them out & every ember didn't last. My spindle was squeaking & the tip was black. My foot was on the board & the notch was pointed out not in. I will change all these. Thank you :)
I can't hug my knee though. It's to awkward & in my chest. I can't put weight on the palm rock because of it.
Thanks a lot your material really helps me out ton. God Bless!
Another great video!
Awesome as always. Thanks
This is a verry informativ video. Thank you. Great inspiration for some bushcraft expirience.
Thanks for the videos...I would like to build my own bow drill kit based on your videos but the woods here are a a little different so hope it comes out nicely. greetins from Costa Rica
Good and informative video!
I've always looked for a curved branch for my bow. I can see that using a straighter branch produces much more efficient drilling and transfer of friction energy. Much more control too.
Great stuff... really digging the videoes
Great job is always
Surface area. the key to life.
Great video, enjoyed it ;)-
Got'a love the Tulip Poplar. ;)
Great Video
Hello Dave. I was wondering if you still had your original birdnest and M6 Scout video. Personally i like your more tips and tricks videos. They are almost instantly recallable for me. Love your stuff but im a bit nostalgic so i favor your old videos.
inkredible god information thanks . Regards from Lithuania :)
Aren't we all after "the fuzzy stuff in the middle"?
You say inner bark, I say poe tah toe.
;)
i'm sure this will go unanswered, since you are so busy, but i was wondering if a fresnel lens, as part of my fire kit, has to be like the magnifying lens, at the least of 5x power, or can i get away with using a 3x fresnel lens?
otherwise, this is the best series of bow drill fire making i've ever watched, because so many of my mistakes were fully explained. thank you very much.
I don't use them I use a real glass lens but it will be covered in another vid in this series
My understanding from physics is that it is not the magnification that maters for producing heat, but the surface area and of course the quality of the lenses so that the focal point is fine.
great video
Bravo!
What are your thoughts of adding sand into the mix to increase friction/heat?
flames are like electric sparks they will be best effected on sharp corners or edges of a material. a piece of paper will ignite if you place a flame in the center of a sheet of paper but move that flame to the edge of said paper and the wait is over. you can get a spark to jump a gap from one flat surface to another flat surface, placing two corners or edges next to one another, then generate a high voltage sparking condition and the spark jumps that gap more easily, and at a lower voltage to achieve that spark. this is why new spark plugs perform better and lower fuel usage in your car. why, you may ask? the ignition system can only provide/supply so much voltage. it a ignition system can't jump the gap of a worn plug. then the fuel and air mixture induced into a cylinder wont be ignited at all. if the ignition system does create a spark. the time it takes for it to build the voltage to jump that gap, may have taken to long and that alters the timing of that ignited fuel air mixture. to turn the timing back with reduce the energy potential in that particular cylinder. so to achieve the required effectiveness desired for the vehicle. one would depress the accelerator more. and that would put more fuel/potential energy through every cylinder. using even more fuel. and even if that analogy isn't exacting in comparison. it does have similarities. lots of sharp edges will ignite more easily....
Great video Dave!
Don't do anything in Amdam that I wouldn't do/done...
Awesome!!!!
Have you given some thought to the possibility that it could be a poison ivy vine?
Tier 1 of woodscraft
Badass.
You rock!
My girlfriend is sitting across the room, listening to this video when she says, "What the hell is he talking about?" If you start at 17:00, it sounds like you're talking about sex hahaha
Great video! Who is this we? :)
How long did you actually work the saw on that wood to get the ember?
It varies from about 25-60 seconds usually depending on variables
If you check out Fire School Part 2 he does a full bow drill demonstration without doing an intermediate cut. It really took no time at all.
A+
Date your a champion
Downloaded audiobooks patriot narrative I'm looking forward to it thanks for the useful insights. Please ignore the Trolls they don't deserve attention :)
very good but i would care if the vine was poison ivy
you make it look too easy dave.
What dual purposes does your long hair serve? I know you have them hippie!
troll on sir.
allow me to answer your silliness with some actual possible purposes. 1st: It does act as a head covering that will hold heat in cold weather if kept dry and will help cool the head in hot weather if kept wet. 2nd: if cut from the head it can be twisted into very effective cordage (the more hair you have to do this with, obviously, the more and longer cordage you can fashion). 3rd it makes Dave look more badass than you'll ever wish you could be.
Edward Teach Thank you for the response Edward, I like Dave's videos very informative. I have long locks as well and have some of the traits as your online alias so tell Scott what I would do to him for fun if I ever seen him in the bush!!! lol
I am a retired Recon Marine I spent 10 of my 25 year carrier in the middle east. So just what would you do to me in the bush?
scott bunch Theres always someone bigger and badder bunchy.
LOVE YOU VIDEOS !! YOU CAN TEACH THE SAME LESSONS OVER AGAIN AND STILL THROW SOMETHING IN THAT YOU DIDN'T IN THE LAST ONE . GREAT VIDEOS !! THANKS FOR ALL THE FREE LESSONS MAN . BUT PLEASE STOP MAKING PATHFINDER GEAR . I DONT HAVE ANY MORE MONEY .
