You Got it !
Damn you are seriously sunburned huh? Awesome video!
It burns when I pee. Am I doing it right?
Love the channel im an army vet and want to thank you for your service
New sub, enjoy your content, well done, God Bless.
Great instruction. All the details without pointless yak yak. Clear and efficient teaching.
Corporal this is one of the best walk through's on bow drill fires i've seen yet !
I'll be Spinnin embers Like NW Primate in no time now!
Thanks for the break down You're an excellent teacher Corporal
Cheers
One thing I like about you is that you are very specific and you vocalize every detail; also without any unnecessary commentary. Very trim, very lean.
This is the best bow-drill video EVER! You have it down to a science and no BS. The only two things I could possibly add to this, is beware of the sweat from your brow. It will drip off of you and kill your ember. Also, don't blow on the ember with your mouth, use your hand if necessary and fan it. With friction fire, it seems that the devil is in the details, and they are all important to ensure success. Thank you so much for this!
Hey Corporal,
I've seen I don't know how many videos of this method of fire building. I've never done myself. After seeing each video I had questions but wasn't even sure what the questions were.
After this video I had no questions, all were answered. This is one of the most superlative tutorials I have ever seen, right to the most minute detail. A credit to your military background and your analytical mind.
Lookin' forward to your next one marine. KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!
Accident video
Explanation very good and clear
Perfectly identical too far north Bushcraft
You both explain things very clearly
I've been trying unsuccessfully for years to try to create fire with the bow drill. Finally after watching this fantastic video I have had success! Thank You!!
I wish you were around 50 years ago, would have saved me a lot of heartache. That was amazing, glad I found your videos. GREAT VIDEO!!! I am a new subscriber.
This is probably the best video i've seen on exactly how to build and use a bow drill. You really got lots of details in your instruction to do this in a much more efficient way. Thanks for the knowledge.
Please share this video with everyone and Thanks for watching
Your explanation is very clear..... thanks..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I was taught bow & drill by micmac up here in Maine. After 1/2 of scavenging components and putting it all together (real simple in Maine we are blessed with many options) , I had a fire in bout a minute on my 1st attempt. 😀I got so good at it that I left my lighter home for a whole week and lit my pack a day habit by bow& Drill . .
Nearly what you did except I just split a board out of the center of bout 12" of the base of a dead(rusty orange) Christmas tree size spruce and I used the upper section for my drill .
Definitely love the fat wood upper catch , smart. I was taught to use either animal fat or pine pitch for
Upper lube and I was taught after burn in to blunt the bottom of the drill (not just remove the charred part as it put more weight on less surface. If I can offer a tip , it would be don't make the drill any longer than needed to operate . It get more wobbly and you waste energy trying to keep it up right. Short drill with shin in wrist joint it is easy to keep steady &;easy to put all energy straight down.
Excellent demonstration
& thank you for the Fat wood tip I have to try now😀
Man, that was probably the best explanation of the bow drill! I've never waited for the notch to fill up with dust, which is probably why I've never gotten it to work.
Do you have any videos showing how to positively identify the Tulip Poplar? I know it grows around here, but have no idea what it looks like, dead or alive. I hear it is also great for woodworking, which is another hobby of mine.
Also, great tip on the self lubricating fatwood bearing block. Great video as always, thanks again!
Great show, thanks for sharing! I just find it creepy that you popped up in my feed on the very day I was collecting pieces of wood to make an attempt at this!
I find that widening my notch at the bottom allows the powder to gather in a more central spot and helps the heat to build quicker. I also lubricate my spindle top with oil from my face/hair or earwax.
I spent 5 years in a tee pee at 7thousand 900 ft in montana!
True survival is your ability to inovate what you need when you are naked and have nothing!
Ive watched many survival shows where you risk getting hurt. I can tell you that is the worst thing you can do as your chances of survival are cut in half with injury.
Corprols corner is great because its down to earth knowlege without the glitter of tv.
Biggest thing a survival situation will teach you is be humble and think your way thru.
Thank you cc your skills are right on.
Learn proceedure but always keep inovation. Example find a pine tree gather a hard dried sap clump , take a rock and crush it into a fine powder add some powder to your dry kindling and then put in your ember!
Hands down the best bow drill demo I’ve ever watched
Excellent video, I’ve watched other videos on how to start a fire with a bow drill , but this one has better information, making it easier, this is why I like this channel, teach the right way, not what looks cool or stylish
This video is too good, and I have watched it three times. I've been trying to make a fire with a bow and a drill by following a few other outdoor books, but I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. You showed me that I was overworking myself by not using the full length of the bow and by not properly mating the drill to the fireboard. Going to try it this weekend.
When rubbing two sticks together, I always make sure one is a match.
nice
i stumbled cross this channel and i must say being ex uk armed forces i totally love this guy,the survival techniques are spot on ,you dont or hardly ever have the best kit and the right kit with you in a survival situation........its all about how you Improvise,Adapt,and Overcome.....having all the Gucci kit does not guarantee your survival.......Knowledge is king and this guy knows his shit.......... = ) always prepare for the worse situation..... PEACE,LOVE AND UNITY....
This is a fantastic trick! The resin in the fatwood acts as a natural lubricant. Outstanding!
This is by far the best demonstration of the bow drill I've seen. The close-up shots and the accompanying explanation regarding the timing of each step made the entire process easy to understand. I was one of the worst students at fire building last week, but I was certainly one of the best when it came to the fast-deploy ridgeline, which I learned from your videos. You take the time to get the camera angles right so that even idiots like me can make the perfect bowline or trucker's hitch. Now I can literally make these knots with my hands behind my back, which my co-workers think is cool, but it's thanks to Corporal's Corner that I can do this. I hope you'll do more fire videos so I can improve my technique. You have a kind of direct, no-nonsense way of explaining things. My son grew into a similar way of speaking after his five years in the Corps, and I'm guessing this no-nonsense style is part of USMC culture. Oh, and it's because of Jerome that I was wearing RATs last weekend. Of all the boots he's worn, the RATs are still his favorite, and they're one of my favorites, too (My absolute favorite is the Lowa Baltoro, which unfortunately is no longer in production). If I decide to take the Intermediate Survival course, I might switch over to the Nike gen. II SFB Jungle Boot, since it's something like three times lighter than the RAT. Since I'm starting my 7th decade on this planet, I need all the help I can get! Great video, great demonstration, terrific close-up shots, designed and executed by a remarkable instructor. Thank you!
Hey try the soda can , polish the bottom and point it at the sun for a solar lighter. As long as the finish is clean enough to see facial features you'll get a fire in seconds! Try a clear water bottle too! It has a hot spot like a magnifier !
The best instruction I'd ever learned. thank you very much,sir！
Absolutely the best bowdrill video I've ever seen. By a huge margin
please tell TY this so that they circulate educational videos instead of entertainment and thanks for watching
I've tryed the bow drill method a few days ago, didn't even get the stick hot, let alone creating ember. But now I've seen what I did wrong, I'll try again. So far, I've made friction fire with cotton balls and ashes and I did flint and steel with homemade 😀char cloth
This is what they should be teaching our children in schools.
Well they didn't teach me it 50 years ago when I was in school and I was also in the army. I'm nearly 60 now and have still never had occasion to have to light a fire in this manner.Not saying it wouldn't be fun to try but its not much use in clerical work or sales .
Now days kids are being taught obedience more than subjects. It is quite disturbing. In most states now, math is being sold as a "man made construct that is not absolute" and that "the consensus of an answer outweighs a correct answer".
I'm pissed that not more teachers have protested these billionaires taking over the education and calling it a "sucess" each year, as grades and test scores plummet further every year. When criticized in front of a microphone these guys just say "its a success, it just needs to be tweaked" only to see it worsen each time. Theough lobbying and money, it seems they are just buying out every aspect of life.
When I was a kid, back in the early 60's, I learned a lot of this through scouting.
Hey brother! I appreciate this! I’m Maryland. So Tulip Poplar is the tree of choice for fire by friction. I’ve only gotten it twice before in my life. Now I’ve gotten it 3x in a row. Thanks man!
Holy shit i feel like an idiot I was using the sharp end to try an get an ember, thanks man
What I love about this method is the stability of the proven platform hearthboard. . you see hundreds of dudes just split a flat chunk of wood and go. But this allows the arch of the foot to lock the hearthboard to the ground...which is WAY more stable and would help prevent pop out.
I have watched hundreds of these videos trying to figure out a way to do this with my physical limitations, and this is most helpful out of all of them as far as components go...thanks Shawn
I hear ya.... Those limitations.... Try a soda can , polish the bottom, or a Smartwater bottle, it magnifies real good. An altoids tin full of charr and charrcloth bits and a piece of an old file and a hard stone are my choice. But having a backup is well worth it in a pinch or if you are having troubles with one method on a particular day. I recently was way up on a mountain detecting and came across an old greenish bottle bottom. And cleaned it up. Before too long i generated an ember and kindled a small camp fire. It was very rewarding on that cold hike on the mountain!
Can you talk a little bit about strategy to locate and incorporate cordage if for some reason you couldn't use or didn't have the proper kind of shoelaces? That seems like the hardest part of the assemblage.
@15:44 the soon to be wife looks closer and says he's using the knife you bought for me 😉 nevermind the bowdrill lol.
Thanks Corporal personally I like these videos the best out of all the videos you produce. Second would be gear and gear review. With so many competitors out there these days it's nice to see the gear that is quality and works best. You're always coming out with something new and exciting. Work smarter, not harder. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Just watching through these again , a million times better than the crap on 📺
By far the best bow drill video I have seen. Now I understand the filling of the heart board hole and when increasing speed. Thanks.
Cpl. This is an outstanding video. I’m a retired Marine, train on survival all over the world with host Marine units, as you may have. I Learned a lot, but your “Presentation” of the subject was clear, simple and down to earth. I commend your presentation here and became a subscriber. Semper Fi Marine !
usmarine76 There’s not such thing as a retired Marine: _”Once a Marine, always a Marine “_
That was one of best explanation demonstration on how to make and use a bow drill I have seen yet. This will save your life . Thank you for all you do.
Bro I appreciate you, this was by far the most real teaching, of making and using a bow drill, clear and solid.
Great video full of valuable information!
Thank you my brother!
Stay safe and keep having fun!
Triple A plus. Logical, clear, precise, no B.S. presentation. Everything seems optimized for success.
Awesome instructional video. Thank you. I gotta say, the instructors at the pathfinder school put out some of the best videos! Love the GBGB and Coal Cracker bushcraft as well.
Thank You and Thanks for Watching
“Fat wood block, self lubricating”.
Oh! I assumed the fat wood was going to be the wood that the ember would start in. Thank you for the clarification! Would pine work?
Fat wood is pine. Its from the stump of the pine, hence why it contains a high amount of pitch.
Man you did a great job with this video I just made my first bo drill fire what a feeling of accomplishment
Very well presented. The best part was the slight cut back on the bottom of notch. Veteran move.
A great detailed instructional video Shawn! I might have to give the ol' bow drill another try :)
Thanks buddy!
with some one handed push ups
@@recall5811 Hahaha :) I'm almost 60 now, and those push-ups were before my cancer. I'm okay now, but not nearly as strong as I once was.
I live near the Everglades in FL, I don't think we have many if any trees that you can make a bow drill with. Unless Palm trees works. :(
Time to move.
Jk
Pine
Only thing I don't like about your technique is the direction of your string wrap around the spindle. When you're working the bow, your string is rubbing on it's self which, with natural fiber string, will cause friction on the string that can cause the string to break. Wrap the string with the over string towards you and when you angle the bow the string will not touch it's self. Just my opinion. I like your video though.
Very clear and easy to follow instructions. Thanks. Again some idiots give a thumbs down to someone trying to teach something.
aaaaa1957 ..,it’s probably not real people.,just an A.I. Bot running it’s program...or you could be correct.,in that case..,asshats will asshat. I really should practice this but I’ve got a few pounds of dryer lint in dry bags and ferro rods and wind and waterproof matches and tons of both. Dryer lint is the ticket. But I am going to learn to bow drill.,as a back up and this is by far the most informative video I’ve seen to date on the matter. Thank you!!
Great instructional video. The closeups were outstanding. I liked that. Nice tip with the fatwood bearing block.............
I'm very curious how you make that knot on your bow
i love this.. so to the point.. cut and dry. and full of experienced knowledge.. thanks Crpl
Very thorough instructions. Just tried this in the backyard, WORKS GREAT! My wife complains "You just want to do everything he does..." My answer, "Hell Yea!"
Bromance
Yep!
Thanks for the tips and detail information. Looking forward to trying these things out. God bless
Absolutely “THE” best bow drill instruction I have seen..and there’s been many I’ve viewed. Thoroughly explained...Excellent video work...no where else to go but here for learning or as an aid for teaching. A1 Corporal!
Please Share My Videos With Everyone and Thanks for watching
yes!!!!!!.. THE SECRET OF THE SOUTH ..fatwood top will serve you well everytime
Yes Sir! See You Soon
School circle! Love the fat wood tip; learning has occurred. Keep em coming brother. Semper Fidelis - Jase
You know what you're doing. You're a good teacher. It's nice to see those two things together.
Best bowdrill skills on YT, hands down.
If only UA-cam felt this way. Thanks for watching
Thank you sir.
( I know, “you work for a living, save that sir shit for the pansy officers. )
I meant it in the old southern respectful manner.

Thank you.
Sincerely.
Outstanding as always!
One of the best videos on the bow drill. You provided info that other people don't. Thanks!!!
outstanding tutorial
OUTSTANDING !! Best tutorial I've seen yet !! Back in my scouting days , I kept a piece of dowel in my pack well protected for a spindle in case of the need for a bow drill. It's really great to see someone continuing to teach those old skills. Cuz, well. That Bic can run out eventually lol. Thanks again have a great day !!
1:07 is what we came here for
IV IT ON LOOP
Clear and concise insruction. Thank you.
If you’re unable to find fatwood for a bearing block, can you soak the tapered end in water to reduce the heat? I’ve also heard of stuffing fresh plant matter into the hole. ??
Best bow drill video I've seen. Maybe even best friction fire technical instruction in general. Thanks!
Id Rub the top of the spindle on the sides of your nose to grease it anyway.. Also, where the string touches, you can mar the spindle with vertical lines to add grip for the string (like spine shaft). It adds serious torque and grip.
Awesome tutorial, thank you. I love that the measurements are taken from the body, creating tools suited to each individual. Very clear and easy to follow, I've got to have a go at this ! All that I have found to be missing in the lesson, is hardwood/softwood information. As I am in the uk, and where ever I may be, I would like to know what the components should be made from. The spindle, the board, and the block (clearly fat pine where possible). Should the spindle be softer than the board ? I like to use a ferro rod, and have had great success with it. But I see this really is no different to bringing a lighter or pre fab bow drill to the woods. It's not survival, survival is using a broken flint as a knife, and what you have around you. As we can never know when we will need such skills, likely the worst possible weather with no bloody gear !
You have perfected it! Thanks.
tried this for the first time today and it helped a lot. i still need to practice but it as awesome! thanks brother, love the channel.
first time sub..Cody no dis to you, but the step by step instruction this man just gave, ranks @ the top. excellent filming ....
WOW!"!!! THANK YOU, VERY MUCH, FOR DOING, AND SHARING THIS VITAL INFORMATION!!!! [FYI: "SHARED" ON GAB.AI ]
Excellent instruction and demonstration
How can I email you my man. Best channel ever and application is paramount 👍
one of my social media sites. Thanks for watching
Brilliant video & excellent tips good sir! You are a great teacher btw! Thank you & God bless!
Or .. you could put some matches and a lighter in your pocket .. but you know whatever.
That wood is so soft, you nearly drilled right through!
A harder bearing block means less friction and wear on the spindle. Having no access to fatwood, I went for full unashamed laziness and made a divot in a rock. Now that I mention it, I should try with a rock that is usable for flint & steel...
Just stumbled upon your videos and I have learned of a lot, thank you! It's the simplest things in life that we forget that can save us in hard times.
Totally awesome! And fast too!😃👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for the video corporal
Great tips on getting a successful bow drill fire. I have some willow and cedar I want to try. Thanks for sharing.
This has to be about the best bow drill video! Thanks for sharing all the tips and tricks!
Please Share my videos with everyone and thanks for watching
Yep, sharing more, that is what I always forget! Thanks for the reminder bub!
I have watched several videos on this subject . This is the best and most down to earth video I have ever watched on the subject !!
Thorough , concise instruction, thank you for being such a great ''splainer''.
Good technique 👍🏼
Thanks
Great video corporal!! I went through your influencer page and like the new additions to it, is that plant parachord any good? Have you used it? I got some of that Goldberg and it was decent I thought
You truly did an excellent job showing exactly how to build fire with the bow drill etc thank you for sharing your expertise!
I bet this is how the first wood turning lathes were invented. One guy ran the bow, the other guy held a rock or knife up to the work. Then they stuck a stick in the ground for a tool rest.
Great video, I'll need to try bow drill fire.
Wow. Really simple, concise instructions. With intermittent humor ( sarcastic humor seems to always be the funniest. The comment about not putting your board down in wet/humid conditions. 😂 Very true and very funny. )
Great video.
I always carry 3 lighters with me into the woods, on top of multiple other fire starting materials. Ferro rod, waxed cotton, steel wool etc.. Why 3 lighters though? 1 as a primary, the second one as a back up if the first one becomes wet or is too cold to spark. And the third one is in case you loose one of the first 2 :)
i am all about ALICE gear great stuff,everyone says it is the prehensile thumb that sets the humans from every other animal.
it is not the prehensile thumb it is the bic lighter, it is all about fire and you are correct sir.
fire like money is way ahead of whatever is in second place,for sure.
if D Boone had bic lighters and zip lock bags,he would have walked to the Pacific Ocean.
Awesome video! You should start another Chanel showing people how to film a You Tube video. You are focused and on point where the information you are teaching. One can tell you how it's done all they want. Most don't let the camera see what you are teaching. When one can put their words with a good camera angle the point gets shown.
the CPL learned that delivery in a certain organization. My guess. At least the style is very reminiscent.
After 10 years I still have to fight for enough views to just pay bills and break even. While others with no skill are paraded around as "gods". Starting another YT channel will go no where and be a waste of time. Thanks for watching
Not a secret anymore . Your instruction on this is INCREDIBLE . Loved it and will certainly give this a try . Just want that challenge. Thank you again CPL 👍
Very nice.. been bow drillin for years and this is one of the most detailed and on the spot bow drill tutorials I've seen. Great work!
Great schooling
Looks like everyone stole my thunder in the comments already. Best instructional vid on the bow drill I have seen.
My 4 year old son thought that was really cool. I think he will pick this life up fast with this kind of good instruction.
Great video! Any reason to not put the tinder bundle/nest right underneath the board notch, so the embers fall right in? Assuming you use a smaller bundle. Perhaps dig a small divot and place it there so the hearth board stays flat. Seems like transferring might risk it dropping, blowing away etc... idk. I'm not that experienced.
I have done the bow drill many times right on top of the tender bundle with great success.
what I noticed on old stone axe heads was a smooth round divot consistent with an angle of 18" handle making tripod to lean into it, you, drill, and handle, 1,000's of years of tech where it mattered survival
Great video, I see what I always did wrong!
I'm working on my set tonight and noticed 2 mistakes on mine. Spindle is about 4 inches too long. Second, going for it too soon, you have to let that gap fill up with dust. I got smoke everytime, I was just impatient with the process. Definitely a skill that will have numerous failures before you get proficient. Work that bow like Charlie Daniels!
