  • Went out for a walk to test myself and my friend suggested I should film it! So here we are, almost un-edited making of fire with just rocks as tools. We don't have flint where I live so I had to sand and saw the bits to shape.

    After watching countless 'bushcraft' videos with little value other than a kit review, this has come as a refreshing change. Proper primitive skills bushcraft, all in one take.
    You took the time to explain everything, clearly and obviously with a lot of experience to back it up. Looking forward to watching the rest of your vids.
    Whereabouts are you based? I'm guessing down south from me (Sheffield).

    I'm James from the U.S. and thank you for creating fire without steel or flint. I've seen so many so called survival shows on TV with their so called survival experts who probably couldn't make fire this way. They always seemed to rely on a knife and flint. I really wonder how many so called special forces people would be able to do what you demonstrated on this great video.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I never considered using burdock as a fire drill (even though it grows abundantly here in Canada, thanks to colonial-era importing and makes useful foodstuffs). Now, I'm going to have to go and try it!

  • @Jigaboo123456
    @Jigaboo123456 7 років тому

    Excellent demonstration of starting from as basic as it gets. His botanical knowledge was a considerable assist in not only identifying the plants, but in assessing their likely condition.e.g. the deduction that dead wood on a tree will have the sap which is the "blood" of a tree or plant, which flows through the xylem (the veins) probably helps drain the sap.
    I don't know for sure if it does, but it shows he thinks deeply about what he's about, which is a good survival tool IF accompanied by action -which it was.

  • @andrewburnett2215

    @djg5950 6 років тому +4

    I've watched quite a few of these fire starting videos and this is the first one where only materials found in the wild are used to start a fire. Thank you. Excellent video. IMO if you go through the trouble of making sure that you are always carrying a knife, ferro rod, and/or char cloth (and other fire starting materials) with you into the bush why not just carry a lighter and make it easier on yourself ? I wanted to know how to start a fire using only things found in nature and this guy has done that. Subscribed to see what else you can teach me about survival.

    • @CuthbertNibbles
      @CuthbertNibbles 5 років тому

      That's exactly the reason I came here too. If I'm going to go backpacking I'll take modern survival gear (SAT-radio, mini-torch, GPS, etc), reliable and redundant.
      All these "emergency survival" videos on how to use a flint and knife to start a fire, mate what if my car breaks down while I'm driving through the Australian Outback or Northern Canada? Oh no, I left my flint 500km away, guess I'll die?
      Thanks BushCraft, really helpful video. Hopefully it never saves my life, I'll let you know if it does ;)

  • @shannonnunn
    @shannonnunn 9 років тому +1

    I like your presentation and skill.... good work.... when I was a kid I worked on learning the hand drill till I formed blood blisters on my hands that spread across my entire palms.... ha.... I used to use little skinny drills like the one you used but I came to the point that I preferred larger diameter drills.... they kick out more heat because of greater surface area for friction, dump more dust for the coal, which helps when it is crappy weather and last but not least, it is easier on your hands ..... thanks for the video.... brings back memories....

    • @Eroamagorath
      @Eroamagorath 8 років тому

  • @bruceconley3387
    @bruceconley3387 3 роки тому

    I've always wondered.? Wouldn't it make sense with bow drill to have your spindle fat as you can comfortably on top than more skinny at bottom. Seems to me if it's fatter on top we're your hands are when slide it between your hands you will get twice the rotation at bottom we're it's skinny with less effort

  • @ArcaneFuror
    @ArcaneFuror 7 років тому +2

    just curious on if you dont know what willow is or dryduck, or just dont have that in your area.
    What qualities should you look for in the wood for selection
    (the makeshift tool part, not the fuel)

    • @craigslitzer4857
      @craigslitzer4857 7 років тому +2

      Arcane Furor
      for your hearth board, you want a soft non-resinous wood, like willow or cedar. For the spindle, you want a weed stem that is woody, but softer than your hearth board. most of them have a soft pith in the center of the stalk. Mullein is the best spindle in my neck of the woods
