Actually....this is the reality and why we train out in the woods.
Any good instructor can crack out a friction fire with pre prepared kits, doing it in the woods with untested materials is a short cut to the truth and struggle.
Carry the kit, spinning sticks sucks!!
Outstanding work Jason.
Thanks for watching friends!! Let me know what you think.
It's the sandals that are foiling your attempts. 😂 Can't help myself. You gonna be at Blade next month?
Wouldn’t have made it if it wasn’t for the bush cat to guide you along the way lol
Moral support!
Savannah thinks that she is a dog 😂. Great job!
Very good. You know Jason most people won't show or even say that it took them that long to get a friction fire all they usually do is just show the last part when they get their Ember. I like it that you're honest. Looking forward to the next one, thank you
The struggle is real! Thanks for watching.
@@SurvivalDispatch that's a fact Jason that's a fact that is some days
I’m impressed in your honesty! Not afraid to show failures. I’ll be paying attention to this channel.
Thanks !
All right. I've watched a hundred videos trying to get decent at bow drill fires. This is the first time someone has said to have the bottom of the notch chamfered. Good call sir. Thank you for showing the struggles. It gives us novices hope!
Sometimes it’s easy. Sometimes….
That right there is a good cat. You two have a great bond 👍
20 years ago, I would take my teenage boys out to the Shining Rock Wilderness, and practice survival skills with just a knife and the contents of our pockets.
Sometimes we would test out a small survival kit that they would make (only one kit for the three of us).
We were lucky to have good water in many places (like water coming out of a vertical rock, and many springs).
But we had to forage and fish for our food.
Shelter became more problematic in the winter and springtime, with snow and hail.
It was the three and four day outings that really taught the lessons.
We learned what things we needed to carry with us every day.
Oh my God! This cat-companion is soooooo adorable 🤩
She is a cool cat!
Is that a Maine-Coon?
At least the cat won't let you starve. But its idea of cuisine may not dovetail with yours. Really nice to see this kind of "see if it can be done" video. I remember watching a guy (many years ago) do the "truck broke down" video with a knife, cup and ferro rod. It showed some real skill. Frighteningly, Wally world sells a not totally horrible knife with a paracord handle and the worlds smallest ferro rod for about $13. Pair it with the $6 stainless cup and you're in the top 25th percentile.
I think Jason did a similar challenge around 5-6 years ago in the early days of SD (truck broke down in the mountains). Maybe you saw him back then?🤭
This is real life from a real expert. Great video
Thanks Chris!
I appreciate you showing that it can take time and patience building a fire. Some channels leave me with the impression that just rub a couple sticks together and grab your hotdogs.. glad I ran across your channel.
Back in the sixties all we had was a scout pocket knife doing the survival for real.
Love it!
I've had to start practicing survival/bushcrafting skills left-handed. I went through total rotator cup surgery on my right shoulder 3 months ago. Talk about a tough go, but it shows me daughter the value of perseverance.
GRÄNSFORS OUTDOOR AXE is absolutely amazing and highly recommend checking it out. Light weight and reliable!
This was designed to be a survival tool. Very similar to a Tomahawk, but you use it to survive/thrive in the woods.
I have an SA Wetterlings axe that I love! Maybe I’ll do a similar video with it.
Actually,...I enjoy your videos and the honesty. Bow-drill is not easy, in fact the hardest. You showed it's not going to come in two three times.
As for being on your own property, no biggie. You're honest, better than showing yourself getting handcuffed. Another video, you were honest, saying it was a neighbor barn or garage, neighbor property. More people respect the honesty than trying to fake it and getting revealed the hard way. Actually.
I know, be nice, Mark. LOL
Definitely appreciate the realistic attempts. Management of expectations when applying lessons in real world
Truthful and still a awesome video full of information. Love how it wasn't 100 miles from anyone and 10 seconds to fire.
Thanks!
Never hurts to explore all options and learn as many ways to do things as possible. You don't know what you might have to work with.
This wasn't "real" survival because your bush cat was there helping you lol. I've actually had a couple bush cats of my own.
Actually, this is my favorite fire video.
The Beastmaster and his ferocious werecat battling Mother Nature's life-robbing elements! Thanks for the humor you use when presenting a serious subject. One of the best tools for survival is a positive attitude, including a positive sense of humor. The ability to laugh at adversity will get you a lot further towards self-rescue than just tools alone. Stay equipped, stay positive, and stay alive! Thanks for the shared knowledge in your posts!!
Great points! Mindset is key!
I think exactly the same scenario 3 times with 3 different tools would be a perfect comparison.
It will show and test the strengths and weaknesses of all 3.
But would also show how different knowledge and skills would be needed for all 3 individually.
Awesome video j3 bless from 🇬🇧🌲🌳🌲🌳👍😎💪
It would be fantastic to see different scenarios with each of the different tools. Perhaps even challenge the scenario by using a tool least suited to it: a saw or hatchet in an area with few or no trees, for example. Adaptability is your friend, and giving others ideas on how to make it through survival situations with what they have available would be fantastic! Thanks for the vids, Jason!
Great ideas! Thanks!
You're the man, Jason! Excellent video...thanks for showing the failures before the success...and for not giving up on it!
Thanks so much!
Like watching survival videos gives me ideas.
A knife makes sense seeing all the different things that you're able to do with one.
Jason, I love your support kitty..maybe she can get you both a mouse to share for dinner. That was a workout to get that fire going but the lesson I got from that 29 or so attemps.. never give up..
Yes a small series of the different tools to accomplish the tasks would be awesome.
She did catch a mole that day. She was selfish and kept it for herself!
Yes,use all the tools on the list!
Enjoyed the concept of putting the skills and knowledge to use. Maybe a debris shelter with unseen sticks poking you and bugs crawling on you while you try to sleep. Real life is never as easy as most YTers make it look. Two thumbs up.
Fantastic job buddy keep up the good work!
Thanks!!
Extremely good video, you portrayed how hard bow drill fires usually are. My hands are usually dirty too, I totally understand clean but stained hands. I hope you ACTUALLY read my comment. (sorry, couldn't resist). Thanks again for the video, I enjoyed it alot.
Thanks so much for watching!
My Army Tri-fold Shovel has been extremely useful for me, dig, pounding, cutting, saw and weapon.
I like the portability of the folders but just never enjoyed using them. I prefer the fixed handled e-tools. Thanks for watching!
That adorable big fuzzy furry kitty is your buddy that loves you and that is why he is your shadow. What a wonderful little friend !!!
Thanks. She is my shadow when I’m outside. I call her my Bush Cat
Thank you for not making bow drill fires look easy
Actually...I love your sarcasm.
It’s not too much?
@@SurvivalDispatch nope not too much, actually I think it's about just right.
I really like this type of videos. Would like to see each tool used by itself in videos as well. I would have a tough choice between picking a good fixed blade or a hatchet.
That’s a tough choice.
Actually, great video! I appreciate that you showed all the attempts, that’s real!
Ha!!!
In all fairness, Jason lives in a temperate rain forest and that area has been getting 80+ inches of rain / year. It MIGHT dry out in July / August. Way to never give up man!
Thanks Robert!
Way to go Jason never give up .a knife will do it for ya
Yes good information. Please do a show on each suggested tool.
I feel like the most important survival tools in this video were your hands 👐=🔥!😂Congrats👍
Imagine this scenario with an injured hand! That would be rough!!
Came for the survival content. Liked for the cat ! Thanks Jason.
It’s nice to see you get the coal with tulip poplar. I’ve never been successful with it yet. Watching the amount of attempts you made gives me a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you.
It ain’t always easy. Never give up!
Just shows how hard that was, I dread to think if this was a real life scenarios with wet conditions
Much respect Jason! Way to hang with it. 2 things that I noticed that might help you the next time:
1. The dust & bottom of the spindle should be black. If it’s not, then the wood may not be as degraded as you would like for it to be or it may have too much moisture.
2. You should hear the sound or pitch change to be much lower as you get close to creating an ember. This can also be because the wood in the spindle or hearth board is not degraded or dry enough.
Good tips! Thanks!
Always love the content! Was thinking in a pinch you might be able to use the inside of your boot/shoe to press on the spindle (making sure the top of the stick is dull and flat of course). Nice work as always, be well! Love from Canada, eh!
It might be worth a shot! Thanks.
Your frustration tolerance is outstanding. 99 percent of the people would have given up after 10 attempts.
Excellent video! You show reality. Time, persistence and muscle get you to the next point. Love the cat. We have 3 animals that follow us everywhere. They are helpful when you are out. Went on a trip ending up in 6 degree weather. Nothing better than snuggling up together.
I've really appreciated your honesty. I KNOW how hard it is to succeed a bow drill fire. This is an endless training. Thank you for the video.
My favorite survival video is the EDC survival scenario.
Dispatching survival on 1,2,3! Lol Continuing this series with other tools would be cool. Thanks guys!
Putting the tinder in the sun was a good idea, putting it in the Mylar sheet in a ‘solar oven’ shaped concavity might really speed the drying too?…in fact putting the base board and the spindle in the Mylar ‘dehydrator’ might help too?
Always enjoy your videos!! Thanks again Jason!
Thanks so much for watching!!
Great camera person!
Congratualtions, I would likely not last past half a dozen attempts. Actually amazing.
It was a workout for sure!
That real😊. Good outcome with persistence 😊thanks
Thanks for showing the attempts everyone thinks bow drill is easy
Yeah a knife is always gonna be my priority. They just do it all. Not the better than any dedicated tool would, but enough of everything for me to never leave without one. Loved the video, and I feel inspired to go out and do this myself lol Thank you for your time Jason
Hard to beat a good knife. Our ancient ancestors would have thought the knife in this video was magical and priceless.
I appreciate your approach to these videos. You're an effective teacher and presenter. Thank you for not taking yourself too seriously as some do. Keep up the good work!
Great job!
Survival 101, don't give up
Thanks!
Love the challenges ! Would like to see with the other tools.
I think I will make it happen. Thanks!
Your knife steel might be creating a cold sink robbing heat from your ember. Even a little can set you back. Good vid.
I do like survival challenges. I am interested.
Thank You Jason ! TAKE CARE..
I would like to see a spaznaz shovel survival video
I am binge-watching & sharing with hubby as we are stepping up our prepping/survival game. Thanks!!
That is awesome!
You could stick the cat up your shirt to help keep warm for the night? 😆
Well done getting that fire going Jason!!
- Reality
Hello again Mr. Salyer. A great acomplishment eventually getting a fire going. May we suggest a different approach. Besides the bird's nest, you could have also put all apparatus required to dry in the sun & wind, while checking for water source. Do try putting the dried bird's nest on to the base plate/wood so as you spin, any amber produce no matter how tiny, it will atleast light up the nest. Thus the heat from the spinning will also encourage the nest to catch the amber more fluently. Just something we learned from grandma. We also assumed that you would have used your shoe laces instead of cutting up your first stage of shelter but there you go again wearing sandals, well it's not grandma's so it's ok...we guess.! If we start wandering around our piece of paradise, mum will make sure that we have adequate footware due to fire ants, spiders & snakes etc. We assume you don't have those nasties where you are. Our feet is an asset in any scenario, we learned that from you. Next vid challenge, how about surviving on just a multitool ( not a Leaterman or SOG or Gerber) if you choose to accept it. Cheers mate.
Great tips! Really appreciate the feedback! Bootlaces would have been pretty convenient in this scenario for sure. And yes, we have lots of snakes, scorpions, spiders, ticks, mosquitoes and lots of other biting things. Not to mention poisonous plants. Maybe not quite as deadly as what you have down under.
I'd like to see mods for a hatchet for a one tool solution. Hatchet staring Jason.
Tuff one
Yes would love to see this scenario with each item
SD needs to offer Bush Cat t-shirts!!!
Amazing idea!!!
Lucky most of us is wearing boots when going out :)
Hahahaha! Smart people at least.
Some people talk and other's do brother you are a doing life not talking like others that are worried about what you're hands look like I weld for a living dirty hands clean money God bless from Canada eh if we all just talked nothing would get done right keep on keeping on brother much love and respect to you and yours make your self right with God! There has always been the nay sayers I like what you do!
ACTUALLY That was great 😅
Great effort 👌
I love the idea of this series. Keep the good stuff coming.
what kind of knife was that. great job never give up
I live in a southern hemisphere country and we don't have poison ivy.
I definitely would have harvested that thinking it'll make great tinder. Haha.
I have found that having a ferro rod attached to the sheath of my knife is an absolute necessity ! It makes starting the fire a lot easier than the bow.
Believe it or not , But a cool Knife Blade will draw the heat out of A Dust pile Quik. Maybe if you started with a wood coal catch you might have got it in the 10th try 😁
Great video 👍
Good tip! Thanks!
The trash that you find in the woods will always prove to be very useful, so try to hold on to it as much as possible.
Love your vids as always but damn I want that blade! That handle looks amazing! I’m still keeping my eye out for this one and bfk machete. Lol make it happen Jason!lol
Survival playing the best ever
Cat: Can you hurry up with whatever your doing? I'm hungry....my litter box need cleaned and I need you to carry me back home so I can take a Nap!
Actually, I love your videos. Keep it up. Thanks. 😁
Thanks so much!!
Great video, nice to see how many attempts it really took. Won't feel so bad if it can't do it first attempt next time I try..
I think the shovel exercise would be cool
This is a very honest portrait of bow drill. Way too many edit the first 28 attempts and leave them on the floor, so to speak. Really enjoyed this video.
ACTUALLY this is fantastic thanks 👍🏽
love to see a kukuri as your only tool
Shows how important it is to have cheap Bic lighters stashed everywhere and on your person each day. Should be part of your edc
That cat is groovy! A bushcat.
Amazing video again. Maybe next time, same challenge but with a multitool only. That's gonna be a hard one for sure.
Great idea!
Good video. It helps me to know in advance just how difficult it can really be. Thanx
I would like to see you test all of the tools of survival and different scenarios
Showing all that “failure” was awesome! Obviously, failure in this sense is learning how not to do something again. 🇺🇸
A three days survival challenge with just a swiss army knife, should be interressing
