Links to bowdrill kit and my hip bag you see in the video: Bowdrill Kit on Amazon: amzn.to/3vrnAud Backwoods Bag (Hip Bag): www.bonanza.com/booths/MelissaBackwoods Thank you for watching 😊
I agree 10000% btw. Jute is insanely good at going from zero to hero instantly! I used it to start an initial burn in a tent stove last year and was amazed how fast it combusted
I didn't realize you could get a bow drill anywhere near that cheap. Just seems like a niche item that would be more expensive for that reason. Side note: I freaking love your accent.
Very autentical, very honest, that you did not cut out the scene where you nearly burnt your face. Not everything on the tube has to be perfect - thats real life!
Awesome product and LOVE your demo and step by step instructions & observations-especially how southpaws can reverse it to make it work! Totally appreciate seeing you & your warm wonderful personality on video! Crossing my fingers these demos become a regular feature again! ❤️🎉👊💐
wooo that got a big flame fast..good job Melissa.I never doubted you..i seen what you can do. i never had luck using them.magnified glass worked ok if the suns out and strong..all them poor ants i toasted..your the best Melissa.Take care.
Great video, and thank you for the after edit. Seems very few people keep the camera rolling and demonstrate their learning curve. Love watching you, pony or not. Good thing there wasn't any Aqua Net in that beautiful hair.
Melissa it's been awhile so good to see you again! Great review of that Amazon kit I've got a flint and steel kit made by the same company works great. I didn't know the hip bag was from your company I'll have to take a serious look into it, btw good job getting Dr.Carla to model for you you're both absolutely gorgeous 🤣🤣🥰🥰 take care stay safe ATB Spam 😎❤
Whoa, she's a total babe. Lol, I feel like a creepy interwebs weirdo, but yeah... I'd purchase just for the bearings. Ive made my boys a few bearing blocks with fidget bearings, but I really dug the design of this. I've been subd for presumably years. I wonder why this is the first notification I've ever received for one of your uploads?
If I had to spend the rest of my life stranded on a deserted Island one person only, you would be my only choice. Beauty, skills, personality, you have it all. 👍💞
I can think of many many ways YOU and I can create a kinetic fire starter!! HINT: Involves hour's of FRICTION based activities which in turn my include a massive volcanic eruption!!🔥🔥💪💥💥👍😅
Umm... U look more like a girly-girl- long hair with dye job. U may like getting cozy by a fireplace in Ur house... but I don't see U doing this in the wild. AND u were a bit winded.
Ha! Way to rock the waiting scene. My 6 year old is constantly trying to make fire by rubbing sticks together...now that the snow is finally gone here, N. of the Soo, we should give this a go. Not sure if he would be able to put enough weight on the downward pressure. Great idea, thanks for the review.
Very unique design I've never seen before - thanks for showing. One thing I noticed: the cordage is quite loose, so you loose rotation at every change of direction, I think it would help to tighten the cord. It sure would help to take a longer 'bow' too. When I do a bow-drill, my spindle isn't as fat under the cord and not as small at the tip - it doesn't dig in the hearthboard as fast and deep and rotates quicker. You were sucessful at least, so very interesting to watch a different design that's working.
Just saw your episode on discovery go and it ended with a cliff hanger. I showered to the end of the internet to see what happened. Glad I found your UA-cam. My anxiety/panic disorder journey now includes an interest in outdoor survival.
I'm going to have to get one of these. Thanks for the inspiration. I have some cool knives you might like on my channel if you feel like checking it out. I just subbed to yours.
The spindle is a bit unusual but it works just fine, might be hard to duplicate in the woods.hopefully that is that last snow for quite a while, here in northern Ohio we have snow . Thanks for your new video , I'll be looking forward to the next one , take care 😃
Wow this looks awesome! In Europe we mostly use a much smaller device called a lighter tho. It's much easyer, cheaper and faster to make a fire that way.
Looks like if worst comes to worst, you could use some of your hair as tinder😁 it looks like a nice kit, but if the "bow" broke you wouldn't be able to make a new one in the woods.
I’ve seen that kit on Amazon probably a 1000 times and never gave it another thought because I thought it would be cheaper quality than that. Now I feel like I need one!
Looks like a nice little kit. You made some excellent points, however, I think out of convenience I'll stick with a ferro rod. Takes up less space in the pack too.👍🏻🍻
Got one. Good find. I wanna see how the mechanics work and then build my own to fit me better. It's a great skill to learn that is WAY easier to achieve when you've practiced at home a bunch so you don't have to scramble out in the woods. Looks like you got as much snow yestersday as we did in Ann Arbor. Gotta love Michigan weather. :) Hopefully it killed all the early mosquitoes.

my favorite naf person! climbed trees effortlessly and still the best with bow fishing ive ever seen!

It blew my mind! And hair 😬
@@MelissaBackwoods You and me both! Well, maybe not the hair part. An eyebrow may have gotten singed though 😲
Thanks Melissa. Glad to see you back.

That ball-bearing design is genius.
Also creek Stewart sells a great kit👍
Good to know! thank you ! but is it $13? haha
@@MelissaBackwoods not sure but he's always fair and u.s.a. made by small businesses 🌞👍
Yay! She's back! Great video and I'm gonna buy one!
Melissa, woman, how do you keep getting more beautiful with each passing year?! Nice to see you again. cheers!
Great job on the bow fire I will get one and give it a try thanks 👍🏻
Great review of a good product. Thank you for including us on the first attempt.
Should’ve added pine needles! Also your hair is awesome! It takes gusto to grow!
Thank you! Great to know you’re doing well!
Awesome product and LOVE your demo and step by step instructions & observations-especially how southpaws can reverse it to make it work!

❤bravo sos completa melissa , manejas cuchillos sabes de supervivencia y si cocinas sos la mujer soñada x todo hombre.😊
Love your hair and boots 😊
Very happy to see your vid.. I think learning the principles of a bow drill are very important no matter how good the drill is,u can always upgrade
9:39, wherever you go, go with all your heart...
Melissa you’re my favorite channel on UA-cam, I wish you uploaded more, come to West Alabama one day…………
Excellent job👍
Very nice, I have to get one to teach the grandkids, thanks for that demo Melissa
wooo that got a big flame fast..good job Melissa.I never doubted you..i seen what you can do. i never had luck using them.magnified glass worked ok if the suns out and strong..all them poor ants i toasted..your the best Melissa.Take care.
Not trying to sound like a weirdo here. But this lady is most certainly the most beautiful thing in this planet. Hands down.
I'm happy to see you're back on UA-cam we have all missed you and I'm happy you are making videos again!
Aw thank you 😊
Well done!!!
You're awesome....good job !
❤️
Big thumbs-up automatically I haven't seen you make another video please make more you're awesome
I think I will try this with my Son.
Thank you 🙏🏼
I have a cart like that! 😂 The bow drill is something I need to practice with. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve tried making a half dozen or so bow drills. Never got a fire going. Might have to try a kit like this. Great job!
Prally need to try different woods - a kit would guarantee woods that work.
Great video, and thank you for the after edit. Seems very few people keep the camera rolling and demonstrate their learning curve. Love watching you, pony or not. Good thing there wasn't any Aqua Net in that beautiful hair.
Interesting kit! Greetings from the woods in Sweden 🇸🇪

That was funny, I just ordered the same one about three weeks ago just on a whim. Then I see this video.
Yeah, but you look great doing it .
Cool video

Super Saiyajin 💪🏼
El primero, el primero 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Stonger then the Most people nowadays… no words…👍
Thanks for the great review! You're cracking me up with almost catching your hair on 🔥. Please be careful. Your friend Firefighter Steve 🚒
👍
where did you get your carry bag.? that was a very good demo .
Big boss💪👏
If I had to spend the rest of my life stranded on a deserted Island one person only, you would be my only choice. Beauty, skills, personality, you have it all. 👍💞
1:14 what is the smoke behind you 😮 ?
Muito linda 🤩
Цікава приспособа 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
เก่งครับ
Everyone knows longer= more friction per stroke 😅. What would we do without Amazon lol
Put a stick inside a cordless drill. it might work better. lol
I Hope i will meet a Woman Like you. Nice Charakter ❤️👍
I was skipping the video and mistaken that she is using her hair to make fire
Ok, you are left handed. This is right handed. What is the difference with a back and forth motion?
Omg that almost burn her hair 😂
Worried u were going to get ur hair caught or melted
You have a pretty face like the midnight moon
Ostias de la que te librastes, si te pilla el pelo, te afeita en seco😢. Ahora, estás como para una prisa😅
I'm sorry but that's a thrust bearing. I'm sorry
I can think of many many ways YOU and I can create a kinetic fire starter!! HINT: Involves hour's of FRICTION based activities which in turn my include a massive volcanic eruption!!🔥🔥💪💥💥👍😅
Umm... U look more like a girly-girl- long hair with dye job. U may like getting cozy by a fireplace in Ur house... but I don't see U doing this in the wild. AND u were a bit winded.
you made that look way too easy! 😉

Pretty cool idea

In a pinch you could probably use your hair? Except it is so beautiful, I wouldn't want you to do it. Congrats!

THE HAIR! Do something with the friggin' HAIR!!! lol✨🤗✨

Yes definitely not going to be able to reproduce that ball bearing with natural materials 😃
In a pinch, you could use your hair, except your hair is so beautiful, I wouldn't want you to!
Wow this looks awesome! In Europe we mostly use a much smaller device called a lighter tho. It's much easyer, cheaper and faster to make a fire that way.

Awesome job.. Thanks

Oh, my f**g God! Whata beautiful hair! О_______________________О
Thank-you! That was great!
Doesn't Jute contain a oil of some sort?
Wow,you are so much like me and we even have the same last name.
Nice vix. It's good to see another Michigander having fun. Take care.
How's it going? Still doing Bush craft stuff?
Your head smokes😁
Hi Melissa beautiful
Crazy woman hahaha
😂 AMAZING 🔥🔥🔥
Wow And Wow...
Good to see you back :) they have this on Amazon in Great Britain, gonna buy one. Thanks for highlighting this product.
No offense I wasn’t watching the bow drill. I love your taste in decorating your house!
