    There are no unnecessary talk, no off-topic content, no unpractical weird techniques. This is why I like your videos and watch them again and again. They are completly usable stuff which teaches required skills with the most simple way. Thank you very much for sharing your knowlage with us and I am looking for more.

    Great timing! I’m currently checking out your playlist for a get home bag video. With the current world events, it’s a great time for all of us to review our get home bags. Personally, I’d be going from city, to my home in a small town…about 40 miles. Thank you, Andrew for all you do 🙏

    Thank you again, for all these detailed well thought out instructional videos..
    it seems to me, if a person had to survive for a long time in the wilds, knowing these primitive fire starting techniques would be of the utmost importance!!!
    I’m always amazed how adept you are at what you do… it is apparent you enjoy doing what you do…
    We are all benefiting- and being blessed…
    I continue to pray for you and your viewers…🥰🙏🏻
    See you next week 😊

  • @johnkline5930
    @johnkline5930 2 роки тому +7

    Great fire training today Andrew!!! I’m a big fan of the notch-less method. It’s not a total beginner technique as one should understand the basic rules of Bow Drill construction. As experience is gained one starts to see were you can flex the rules somewhat. (Woodsman tip of the day for dealing with Forest Vamps for the win!) Another great point you alluded to is reusing a divot… I can often get three embers from one divot before creating another…just clean up the spindle end and sometimes score the divot to prevent glazing from occurring. Great instruction as always!
    Keep up the Fire!!!

    Excellent work...I haven't gotten quite as skilled as you have at this very necessary fire starting method...the squeezing wood on wood kinda grates my last nerve 😆 🤣 something to overcome I must say ...and soon coz it's almost spring after this big spring/lastofwinter storm coming up in a day or so...still hibernation for me here in the Midwest of Canada watching videos ;) 😉 getting supplies ready for some great outdoor adventures this summer 😀

  • @nauticalknotcraft
    @nauticalknotcraft 2 роки тому +1

    I never felt the word primitive fit these methods. I get why they're used, but to me it takes knowledge to make a friction fire, stone tools and cordage. I prefer first technologies. You do it up right Andrew. Well done on another great class. Bravo

    This is all good to learn. I know how to do it, but I always have a lighter in my pack, one on my belt kit, one in my pocket and one on my keyring. Better to have too much than not enough. Fire = life. Blade second.

  • @peterbogart4531
    @peterbogart4531 2 роки тому +1

    Right with my thoughts this morning, especially how to attach the cord. Thx again, Andrew. Bearing block could be a handy concave rock. First thing that usually smoked for me was the bearing wood! For general survival, the most essential item seems a large stainless steel pot (Mors?) with a bail and/or handle, plus a lid upon which you can cook. Then 2 or three blades comprised of: (1)hatchet, kukuri, parang, etc., (2)Mora or Buck Woodsman [my favorite], and (3)saw. I carry a full bottle of protein-base repellant as well as head nets. Beware of strangulation by neck cord.

    In the wild-fire-prone Arizona desert an open fire is generally held to be a crime. I carry an Esbit stove to use in protective pits and am experimenting with different fuels. I have a covered less-than-2-liters pot-pan with a lid and a long folding handle. Survival water will usually be from a stock tank or an aqueduct.

  • @scribebat
    @scribebat 2 роки тому +1

    Another great instructional vid. i think that's the most robust bow drill setup i've seen demonstrated. Most i've seen, for the bow they've used a thin piece of wood that bends but it dawned on me watching this that the bow part could be practically straight and you can use a stouter bit of branch and that this could make the whole process quite a bit easier. The string attachment approach is much better than one i watched where the person tied the string to one end of the thin stick, bent the stick and then just held the other end of the string so he could easily adjust the tension. That seems unnecessary and much more awkward now.
    The option for catching a spark, that's thinking and not just blindly following a formula. Very cool. Still, if there were issues with coming up with a dry board to catch an ember from the traditional notch, there'd likely be issues with this technique as well.
    This did take my understanding of the concept deeper, am going to have to build my own bow drill fire starter kit in the next couple of months (even though i've almost always got a Bic lighter on me, i want the experience). You've saved me some experimenting, feel fairly confident now that i could succeed on the first try. Thanks! :-)

    I know that if someone’s really paying attention and being focused they are going to cut themselves but if you were in a survival situation you wouldn’t want to use the saw above your knee or your leg the way this guy is doing. Obviously if your top priority is not cutting yourself you can do it safely but you really don’t wanna use your leg as a sawhorse. Everything else in this video is top notch.
