Survival situation fire by friction with no knife or flint
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- 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.
Awesome video!! finally someone who only uses natural resources! I really enjoyed watching it.
This is the best thing I've seen on UA-cam since 2006
Thanks for taking the time to make and share. Excellent video.
I can't imagine why anyone gave this a thumbs down! Fantastic job mate! Fantastic demonstration for sure and unquestionable skill. Take care.
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).
Hi Richard, sorry for the huge delay in replying. I'm down in the Midlands just south of Birmingham. Thanks for the kind words
Thanks for this been looking for a legitimate fire starter videos. Thanks!!
Huuuuge respect to anyone using only natural resources. You’re a bad ass
Thank you for your information my brother! Keep having fun out there!
Found you! - SUPERB technique - I watched this ages ago, couldn`t find it again amongst all the rubbish bushcraft channels!
Thank you very much 😊
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.
Excellent demonstration, and I have learned something new. I will collect some burdock and willow and practice with it. Thank you for sharing. All the best, Shane.
Yay I love going to the Isle Of Wight!
Very well described from start to finish, thanks so much for making this video. All the best for 2017.
Loved the demo mate. Appreciate you taking the time to do this. I'll keep an eye out for the next one. Cheers.
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!
Well done, thats the real way to do it for sure. Fire from just what you can scrounge
Thank you 😊
You are the first one I've ever seen that explains why the notch is there.
Loved the demonstration! Lots of fun to watch! Thanks.....Ben
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.
Amazing video man, really well done here! One of the best I have seen on this "no tools" style. All the best from Canada! I subbed
That is amazing. I have tried to do that with a bow drill and all I get is smoke but no coal to start the fire. Good job mate.
that was very impressive.
I will need that in 2 months, when I move out from the city and start building my off grid cabin on my jungle land.
you de man! watched this 7 times at least to take it in properly, good work deserves it
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.
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 ;)
Wow!!! Reading the book Hatchet with fourth graders now Im curious about how to survive in the wild...this video was awesome👍
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....
+Shannon Nunn but one palm will give you less rotation in a big drill, the energy ends up being the same
That's pretty damn impressive.
It is, without a doubt, the best camera work I have ever seen... The fire bit was good too.
Totally impressive, very nice job and your skill is outstanding. Wish i could do the same!
I will do so, thanks.
***** Well I havn't had time to do these type of things; been very busy with school. I do wish to do a solo nature survival trip in the future though but for that i need time and sharpening on the skills.
Many thanks, hope you get some time to do a good solo trip!
Where do I order one of them rocks? 😉
Great A to Z on how to start a fire, Thanks for sharing!
Best Firelighting vid on the net!
This is superb. Down to the absolute basics and beyond. You have a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing. Happy wandering. Paul :)
Hey Dale! Nice to see another excellent video from you. It shows some good info about making functional set from scratch. And without any modern tools, it also shows your great bushcraft skills. Burdock is really fantastic material, hope I collect some this fall.
All the best,
Matt
Excellent video, well edited. Great information for outdoor survival.
Good vid mate. :) All natural no modern day tools, well presented.
Good vid, thanks for making it!
great video.respect
Skvělá ukázka díky. Vidím zde v tuto chvíli 65 palců dolů asi to budou "odborníci". Závist je špatná vlastnost. Nic si z toho nedělejme.
Outstanding demo
Thanks, learned a lot from this video. Many good pointers wish the volume were a bit better but the lesson was still great. True survival technique.
Thank you my friend! An excellent video!
speechless... well not really.. awesome ! excellent ! omG ! dang near magical... hoping there are burdock in Indiana USA or something close..
Here because my dad said he'd give me £50 If I could start a fire without using matches or a lighter and flint and steel
Very good demonstration. Nice work.
Nice- definitely inspired. I haven't really tried handdrill directly off the landscape.
this is simply great!!!! Thanks for showing us :-)
liked this video, ready to go practice with material around here.
Beautiful!
Thnx for only using natural materials everyone else I watch uses a knife
This is it. Great Job.
that's excellent! I need to challenge myself the same, as well. thx4vid!
What matter of sorcery is this?!?
outstanding demonstration. very enjoyable. thanks.
Lifesaver. Great vid
THE AIR GOT TO IT ! THE AIR GOT TO IT !
+Amr Sakr Me! Make fire!
Wilson!!!
Amazing work.... Well done!
Many thanks for this very good demonstration.
...that´s inspirational!!...thanks for sharing, amazing!!
it's good you're keeping skills alive. i'm a firm believer in passing skills on to the next generation but maybe speed up the monotonous bits: cool vid though, usually it's all ferro rod fire starting, which I do like don't get me wrong but this is old, old school. this vid alone is worth a sub
Excellent demonstration!
Great job!
Awesome video
Have to say you made that look very easy. how long did it take you to get to this level? I will endeavor to learn this skill thanks to your brilliant tuition. good stuff!
Great skill !
can it made with any type of wood?
can i use grass to blow ?
That was IMPRESSIVE!
I thought you were really out there stranded until the phone rang, lol.
Nice job mate, the best I have seen , any advantage to catching the saw/rock dust?
Most impressive.
Picked up some new tricks.
Thanks
Bravo!!!! Respect.
its great to see vids that are done in one take or two from start to finish . its a bit annoying when you get people who take a load of takes to show someone how to do things . feels a bit like cheating . dont you agree . after all in a true senario you may only have one chance .
great video
thank you for sharing it
Excellent
Thanks Matt! Did you have a good Summer over there? Had a decent one here for a change!
is Burdock a other word for Distel`? sorry if it sounds like a silly quastion but i am german^^
thank you in advence
Stefan
Burdock=Klette
LG Marco
you can drop a few grains of sand to make it go quicker
word to the wise have everything set up as it should so you dont have to stop an have to start over
Well done pal
Impressive!
Fantastic job. I would have never thought it possible with absolute rudimentary objects. What type wood was the spindle...Bois d'arc?
Wayne The Seine that was Burdock on a willow hearth
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
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)
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
good job!
I no longer have to do the “it is what it is” attitude anymore😂😂
Thanks.. hope all is well over the channel!
thats awesome
Bravo!!!!!
Cool vid !
How do you know which wood is good to use with another type of wood? For example how do you know that burdock wood can make a fire if used with willow wood?
(Sorry for my bad english)
inspiring
Yes it is... you can use both,.,, but in the end I the Burdock worked so I didn't have to try the others!
Love it
how could u not go down with your hands when you spin the drill? Can u make a video to explain your technique please? it would be interesting
Check out his other vids... There's some with a bit of info about floating.
Good stuff when the wood is bone dry and low humidity
great job there guys! L and Sub'd
Always try and keep mastering this skills, watching this or knowing how to docit doesnt really help in real life. Watch and learn then try.
Excellent!
Good stuff!
Great job, I gotta find out what type of wood works here in my part of the world. How many different types of wood did you go through that did not work before you found the right combination? No need to reply, I'll catch it on one of your other videos mate. Thanks!
Ron Butler Hi Ron... Only just seen this comment... I spent quite a while trialling everything in different drill and hearth combinations too... It's just worth going out grabbing anything that looks like it could work and giving it a blast. Keep a record of your combinations too...
i am going to do this, i just have to.
