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.
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
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.
@@elessartelcontar9415 That's very interesting to know, I'll have to look into that and see if there's any bamboo in Northern Utah. Thanks for letting me know that.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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!
Are we finally going to get more primitive content again ?????? Love it
That is awesome! Dry bamboo is very light to transport too, so this method is definitely a must try
rubbing two non-native rodents together is much harder to start a good fire with.
@@whothefoxcares Try it with a fire salamander and a few of dragonflies. That should work.
@@whothefoxcares Fire piston method using a stick and a squirrel
Starting to understand the value of frog poison. It starts fires and puts them out. Nature is awesome
LOL if you're going to bring a stalk of bamboo with you, why not just bring some matches? lol.......
That's awesome I had no clue you could do that with bamboo thanks Sean
You definitely have talent for explaining bushcraft with excitement.
Survival information is quickly becoming a fav genre for me

I love that little kid like smile Shawn has when he makes fire. Lol
That's his biggest appeal! Shawn has that child-like innocence in his demeanor.
These recent video slightly remind of 2012 Shawn back when he was making & using primitive tools/weapons.
Getting the hot fingers seems to be your new signature!🔥🖐
I've never seen this method so clearly explained, thanks!
Loving this series.
I like that better than a bow drill - a lot easier.
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
Awesome thank you
Thanks for all the fantastic fire skills, I hope to never need to use.
Hi I’m a huge fan
Super interesting primitive fire starting method I will keep in the tool pouch. Sgi cousin.

Excellent work Sir! Most instructive! 🔥
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.
Awsome vid and bushcraft needs to be protected
That’s one I haven’t seen before or don’t remember it. Good job!
Love this channel 😊
Beautiful video! Could be done with a sharp/jagged stone too effortless and also the best bamboo method I’ve learnt to date
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.
I see bamboo forests in Georgia and Alabama.
I see bamboo frequently in NC and SC on vacations. Large and small types.
Plenty by creeks in KY
Seen it in the CA Delta. Bout it. But never looked for it either.
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.
I want to try this. Thanks Shawn 👍✌️
Interesting method, if you have dry bamboo, for sure. Thank you .
Another excellent survival video. Very well done.
Keep 'em coming.
Great video! :)
Love the content, thanks!
Nice to know different ways to make fire depending on where you are.
Thanks Shawn good information
Wow great video! Well done.
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.
Fantastic. I'm going to try this.
Pretty cool
That's very easy.

As always Shawn, gloves Shawn, gloves. Protect yourself and your family
Thanks for posting!
I’m really enjoying all of your primitive videos
Thanks for doing this!

Thanks. I've heard of this method but never seen it done until now.
I am Asian. Yes bamboo fire is the best 💯 bamboo is used in everything 🤣 such a great plant for us
Whoa - very clever method. Great video.
Looks like a lot of work, but,
Thank you,
Your videos are always entertaining to watch and learn from.
That's a good thing to learn
Hey man, the stove is hot! 😁
Marvellous!
Very impressive
This is so cool!
Very interesting !!
That’s pretty good that one man!!! A brilliant series
Very cool.
Nice
best vid of this on yt
Awesome!
Very cool
Wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen this.
I always carry bamboo with me everywhere I go.
Nice!

I miss the primitive archery videos so much, it's been over 6 years since the last video :(
An immediate like after the cleeeeeeeeean slice
Low key that was insane
I'm not frequently in places that allow me to scavenge bamboo. But I'll keep this in mind.
I would love to see some small live bird traps. Home made of course.
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.
I thought of crocodile Dundee when I seen your machete. LOL 😂😂😂😂
Dude, you are awesome!!! I love your videos!!!
Great. Now the next time I get lost in south-central China I'll be set.
That is impressive 👌
Sweet I've never seen that 1
Ok...I really have got to try it... ;)
I know I requested for you to do it and didn't think you we're going to do it that quick. People in the islands use bamboo in fire making!
i gotta try this
i do this same method with river cane also that chopper looks like its been to ww2 and back lol
“woooo smokey” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
HAPPY FIRE FRIDAY!
i know that different woods have different smells. does burning bamboo have a smell? [If so, what is it like?]
Fire breath Shawn is the real reason he is successful. Like a fire breathing dragon. Lol
That was interesting but bamboo is rare in many places, especially dry bamboo. It is easier to carry a lighter when in the woods than a bamboo stick.
places with bamboo had it easy mode during ancient times
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.
The next time I'm lost in the woods in northern ontario I'll be sure to look for bamboo to use this method.....
Well, it is light-weight and portable. ;)
@@emmettturner9452 so is a pack of matches lol
When you do the fire thong, play Donna Summer's Hot Stuff in the background.
Thanks
it looks like you could apply more pressure easily if you support it from below
Hay, watch out for that "Giant Cat" in the background at 2:46 !!!!!!!

Pretty awesome demonstration of fire starting. But , is bamboo all that easy to come by in hiking. Especially big ones like that ?
If you're hiking in Asia, you will find bamboo all over the place.
Make sure you’ve got good dry bamboo.
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
What other wood would work?
The way you dropped it at the end 😂😂😂 Shawn Woods found at the scene of starting a massive forest fire……. Lol jk!!
Did you come up with that on your own. I've never seen that one. Great job
This technique originates in Asia.
I saw it when I traveled to Vietnam and Thailand. Villagers use this method a lot.
Did it really only take that minute or so to make the ember or did you have to do several takes?
Time for some smoked mice, rats, chipmunks, squirrels, moles, voles, and gophers! 🤤
Big Bambu’
Hurray
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!
i think this one better then rub stick in wood
Have you shown a fire piston to start fire?
