David i think you must have been a firefighter to love starting fires like you do. This is coming from a retired firefighter. I love your mastery of so many ways to get a fire started. I have been watching your videos for many years. I've learned a lot.
David, you crack me up😆 I can imagine you in bed trying to go to sleep, but you can’t fall asleep….b/c you can’t stop thinking of ways to make fire. Just giving you a hard time👍🏻 Great video as always 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
David, this is the 1st video that shows the technique perfectly..before I tried the Rae Dawn Chong way from the movie "Quest for fire" but could never drill that long, my hands would get to hot. Thank you sir.
That is so brilliant it makes me feel stupid not thinking of it. I do see one problem if it cold like you use in your example having your hands in cold water is probably not the best solution for life or death fire. This would be the only time I could thing I would be desperate enough to need a hand drill fire. Great idea keep them coming.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl and may have the confidence to actually try the bow drill method..also liked subscribed and in the drop down menu under the bell selected all. :-)
David, I just wanted to share some info on the wet "wrinkled" fingertips. It's not actually the water that soaks in to your fingers that does it. It's actually a neurological "switch" as a reaction to your hands being wet. Your skin loosens to increase the ability to grip when your hands are wet and your brain turns that functionality on.
Awesome demonstration - first you get good then you get David West good! I know some tribes would used two rods tied together as a hearth board so they could use the same material as the spindle. One Apache fellow could get a fire in 20 seconds that way. Have you ever tried that method? I didn't see it in the playlist.
I don't know if ou have looked at your most viewed vids but your cooking vids are really high. Thought about cooking more? I think that would be a 2 prong goal of sharing starting a fire and satisfy the cooking community? Just a thought. We do like your channel. Thinking you might grow,,,

The best thing about all this is, we never stop learning. Good job, David! Thanks!
I love that knife hack to hold the hearth board. I never thought of that.

Great video as always 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It actually helps me go to sleep to think about what experiment I might try the next day.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl…Yes, now that you say it, it’s probably very relaxing. Keep up the good/hard work. Your viewers appreciate it more than you know.
These videos are very relaxing to watch and very educational too.
1. hydrate hands 2. scrape away fibers on stick which act like a rotary brush.
Always more to learn from each video. Thank you Mr.West!

"Quest for fire" but could never drill that long, my hands would get to hot.
Thank you sir.
Tremendous... I always love the friction technique. Who'd of thought, water helps you make fire.

I mentioned that you could wet your hands and hold them together for 2 minutes or hold a wet rag.

Fire master!
Mr West, can you show a pump drill?
Sorry. They don't interest me.
I blinked and the next thing you were whittling and talking chipmunk talk, 🐿 Thanks for teaching.
LOL!
Nitrile gloves make my hands sweat like crazy. Might be another way to get them wet..
Man! That is a great idea. TY!
