Best Vid, start to finish I've seen. Tried this a few times before watching, got smoke, burnt wood, but no embers...( oh, and yes, was actually quite physical). After better wood selection and proper bow/string technique I got it ! I gotta say, as a 50 yr old dude that loves the woods, this was a skill I always wanted. I've done it several times now, showing friends, and passing on the knowledge/skill. This is no 'Party Trick'...it's something that takes practice ! Thank you my friend ! Nice of you to give us all the tools to get it done !
I am glad I found your channel, you are a good teacher and good camera work, very professional. I wish I lived close I'd get with you for one on one training, guess the videos will have to do.
All of your instructional videos are very professional and top notch. Slow and steady but not drug out and clear in all the steps. Keep on keeping on brother!
I have watched many of your videos and liked them very much! I tried the Bow Drill yesterday for the first time ever and almost had a sustainable coal, but then my fire board cracked and I didn't have the time to start over. After watching this video again, I am certain that I will be able to do it the next time I attempt the task. Thanks, you have a new subscriber!
Great video. Practicing and perfecting this technique is, IMO, the number one most important survival skill one can have. Once you get it, teach it to anyone who will learn. This knowledge gives more confidence than any other tool or skill. Especially if you can fabricate the components with found materials, ie sharp rocks, stones, etc.
This is honestly the best video of the subject I've seen so far. Now I just gotta learn. Hopefully I'll spend a week fishing in the woods this summer, maybe I can manage it then :D
Great video Andy! You make it look so easy, but those of us who have done it know that it isn't, especially if you haven't already done it a couple hundred times in order to prefect the technique! This is why you should spend time practicing this stuff folks. Once you get this good you can make it look easy and not have to spend hour after hour after hour trying to get your fire going!
InnerBark Outdoors Lol! Well look at it this way, at least you have a good excuse to do it. Most of us have a harder time coming up for reasons to practice these primitive skills. ("Do I really need to waste time on this again? Tony Soprano would have to dump me naked in the woods before I'd ever be out there without at least a Bic lighter & a ferro rod!")
Great video! I wish I would have watched this a week ago. Me and my kids got stranded for a night in the desert due to a flashflood a couple days ago. I tried to make a fire using this method from what I had read in books but just after I would start to get smoke it would bind up. I think using larger diameter drill like you used would have helped. It goes to show that its important to practice this stuff at home because watching or reading about isn't enough. We made a shelter, survived the night and made it out the next day safely. Thanks again for the video, I'll be trying this again in the backyard!
i could never get this technique before, after i watched this video and tried it, i got it on the first try thanks to the thorough explanation in your video. thanks so much dude!
Great video. I teach a class for young boys in our community and I do a lot of research on fire starting techniques and the outdoors in general and your videos impress me. I look forward to watching more in the future. Also, that is a nice weapon in the background. I am glad to see that you made it out safely.
Great video, and as I also live in the PNW it's good to see Western Red Cedar being used for the drill, board and tinder. It's hard work but I'm gonna keep practising!
Thanks for making this video on the bow drill. I have been camping for a while now and never knew how to do this. I lost my lighter in the river last trip and this would have been very helpful had I known how. I knew the basic principles, but couldn't get it. I eventually got it going with some hand sanitizer and river rocks, but I was very cold that first night. I will definitely be sharpening my skills! Love the knife! Gots to get me one!
I've been looking for a vid that explained the steps to this very skill and you did an Awesome job dude!! I will definitely check out the other method you have on video as well. Cheers!! Alex
When the video started off and the voice off camera wasn't some white dude - but instead was a badass looking Indian rocking a ponytail.. I noticed my trust in the teacher and lesson were all in! After watching the video I realized why, and my instinct you knew your shit was spot on. AMAZING VIDEO. Also, your log wielding skills @ 3:15-3:50... SERIOUSLY FUCKING EPIC.
Of all the vids I've seen on this your method worked the best for me. Gave you a thumbs up and I have subscribed. Now to check out the rest of your site, Thanks.
Hey there! Thank you for posting this video; I used it to make my own drill, along with my family, as an exercise in survival. Almost got it right! My wood needs to be dryer, though :-P Eventually each one of us will have a drill to place in our packs. Used willow for the spindle and bow, and fir for the hearth board and stabilizer. I used paracord, but it seems rather slick and doesn't grip the spindle too well. I will go with something different next time. Again, thank you! You got a sub from me :-)
I went to a wilderness program in Utah. My Fastest standing to flame was 13 seconds using this now drill method. I used a yucca spindle with a sage fireboard and I actually found a ankle bone from a cow that I had been using as a top rock. Try that out, start standing, drop bust a coal and blow it to flame. Try beating 13 seconds
Best I've seen yet. I love the calmness you possess. I am just starting on the survival journey, and would love to gain your level of expertise. Thank you. Kia Kaha.
Hello, Thanks for the video. I appreciate your attention to details in your set-up and your explanations for your choices. The production value is also very good. I will subscribe to your channel. In the future, I suggest you use a sheath on your knife when using the spindle socket. I've seen people doing more mundane things with duller tools and they managed to get bit.
LOVED the "blooper" at the end... haha you didnt miss a beat... Im going to look up those trees but I didnt recognize any of the names... Also where can I find info on the traditional shape of the bow? And how important is the shapes as long as your able to have that angle for the tension line?
Brenna, any curved slightly flexible stick will do. The idea is just to have enough flex to provide constant tension, and not have the string rub up against the bow. Mine is angled like that because of a recent wrist injury so that I dont have to bend my wrist so much. Hope that helps!
Pretty much one of the best bow drill step by step vids I've seen so far! Great job and thanks for the soft-wood list in the beginning. I wish I'll be able making fire with a bow drill looking so easy someday. Thanks a lot for the vid and a beautiful landscape you were filmimg in. Is that somewhere near Vancouver Island or at the north west coast?
I will check it out right now ;-) I've been in Seattle and Vancouver 20 years ago, that's why these woods seemed to be so familiar to me. It's kind of a northern rainforest up there. You're blessed with a wonderful landscape, enjoy it as long as you can.
You know a trick for when your knife slants like that in the wood is to use the knife to pick up the wood and smack it with your baton till your knife if straight in the wood again. Great vid by the way.
Thanks! This is an older video, and the knife featured is the TOPS Hawkes Hellion Elite. TWANGnBANG has the Tahoma Field Knife which is the one I designed but they both have the spindle socket feature.
Without going to South America yourself, I'd suggest a Condor Machete, or a TOPS Machete. You'll kind of want to look at different designs and buy one that fits your body type, height, and vegetation type. I like thin ones for vines and saplings, thicker like Parangs for thicker vegetation. I also prefer a slightly shorter blade because I am not very tall and don't want to drag the tip.
That has to be the quickest bow drill cherry I've seen. I need a lot more practice. Hey, btw, you look like you're here in Western Wa., maybe Cascade Range?
What wood I should need to use Wet wood or Dry wood ? Good video, I tried couple times but I don't succeed , I watched this video and now I am going to try again. I have one more question what kinds of wood in the Middle East are good to use for bow drill? Thanks you .
miller You need very dry wood. The wood needs to be soft, whatever kind you use, with as little resin in it as possible. If you press your nail into it and make a depression, there is a good chance you have a usable wood.
VERY nice throw in the opening! * I was surprised at the use of Willow, usually being a water heavy tree, but then recalled that it dries out fairly fast in the winter. A good oily wood like the Cedar and the Firs/Pines is another good choice for a fast burning fire. But as you point out here, you want dead would for the start. * I am curious if using the knife as a Draw Scraper would be less labor intensive for making the kindling from the bark?
Andy, if it came down to picking just one method in a situation where you really needed to get a fire going, would you use the bow drill, or would you rather use a hand drill? You seem to be pretty darn experienced/talented with both methods.
Finding the materials is easier with the bow drill method, but of course you need good cordage and that takes time to make primitively. A good hand drill set is more compact and much much faster to set up, and you can use a thinner board. Personally I like the hand drill method more. My hippy explanation is that I feel more connected with the coal when my bare hands connect with the spindle. My regular explanation is I feel more badass when I do it because not everyone can do it well.
VisayasMindanaoLuzon These woods I am not familiar with (although the fruit is delicious). Rule of thumb is you don't want resins in the wood because they act as a lubricant which eliminates the friction needed, and secondly you want to be able to make an indentation with a thumb nail in the wood. If the wood is too hard, it will polish instead of grind into a powder which is what we need. Hope that helps!
Great video as always. I was wondering about your intro! I loved the tomahawk throw that faded into what looked like an animated section. What Programm did you use to create that effect? I am trying to start up my channel again, I have grown as a person and want to change a lot, so I wanted a good intro. I would really appreciate the help and potential tips you could give me! Thanks in advance! Regards, Tim
Very informative. However, when using your Tops knife as a socket, it should be sheathed and safe. If that spindle fires out, you'll have an injury you can't deal with in the location you're in. I understand you've no doubt made bow drill fires many times before and you have experience, but for a beginner, that could be very dangerous.
Watch the hand drill video I have as well. They go over slightly different things that will ensure a successful coal. I'm using a Panasonic HVX200 and a Panasonic HPX500 for this video.
i think my lumber type fireboard was too light, it just ate up too fast. i need to try small log like that. i was also amazed that i wore out two boot laces in a few minutes. i also learned that nursing a small ember into open flame is not too easy. interesting to actually try this stuff though.
Awesome video sir that has got to be the best anyone has ever explained it thank you for the great video. One quick question would yellow pine be a decent alternative? We don't have as much cedar down here in Georgia every now and run I see a few of them but we have an abundance of yellow pine.
I have tried white pine with good success. If you can find the least resinous wood you will have a higher success rate. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

EXCELLENT video. I've never been able to start a fire this way before and with your minor tips I finally did it! never felt like more of a man
Keep practicing and show your friends how to make a coal. Thanks for checking out the video!
I'm definitely going to try this now that you've laid the steps out for me so clearly. Thanks for another great vid!
Thanks! I have a hand drill video as well which is my favorite method

Well worth the learning, TnB!
Best Vid, start to finish I've seen. Tried this a few times before watching, got smoke, burnt wood, but no embers...( oh, and yes, was actually quite physical).

("Do I really need to waste time on this again? Tony Soprano would have to dump me naked in the woods before I'd ever be out there without at least a Bic lighter & a ferro rod!")
Haha! We can always arrange mandatory survival skills training
InnerBark Outdoors I needed to go on a diet anyway! The exercise would kill me if you were winded from the experience.

Hello,
Thanks for the video. I appreciate your attention to details in your set-up and your explanations for your choices. The production value is also very good. I will subscribe to your channel.
In the future, I suggest you use a sheath on your knife when using the spindle socket. I've seen people doing more mundane things with duller tools and they managed to get bit.
*thumbs up*
That was class, mate. Thanks

LOVED the "blooper" at the end... haha you didnt miss a beat... Im going to look up those trees but I didnt recognize any of the names... Also where can I find info on the traditional shape of the bow? And how important is the shapes as long as your able to have that angle for the tension line?
Brenna, any curved slightly flexible stick will do. The idea is just to have enough flex to provide constant tension, and not have the string rub up against the bow. Mine is angled like that because of a recent wrist injury so that I dont have to bend my wrist so much. Hope that helps!

What do you know about Machetes? I have to get into my woods and clear it up and can't find mine.
I had a machete before I had a pocketknife (at age 7). I have an old machete from Brazil which has lasted me my entire life
So, what do you recommend I buy?
Without going to South America yourself, I'd suggest a Condor Machete, or a TOPS Machete. You'll kind of want to look at different designs and buy one that fits your body type, height, and vegetation type. I like thin ones for vines and saplings, thicker like Parangs for thicker vegetation. I also prefer a slightly shorter blade because I am not very tall and don't want to drag the tip.

InnerBark Outdoors Thanks man, keep up the good work. I'll let you know how it goes once I get my Tahoma Field Knife and give this another go.
yes because i will definitely have a knife that has a indent in it for a bow drill fire spindle
