hand drill, assisted with cordage, doesnt put much stress on the cordage at all. Pump drill doesnt stress the cordage all that much, either. I think friction fire is bs, intended to take your money as you are "taught' or it's to impress you with some guy, so you'lll pay him to teach you this or that. When you can have a Bic, in your pocket, a fresnel lense in your wallet, a ferrorod on your key chain, a match case, UCO lantern, gorilla tape and a peanut-lighter in your pack, all for 2 ozs, and have 1000's of ignitions, I dont see the point in wasting any time on friction fire. I teach people to take the right clothing and gear in the first place. You can have a bangedup ankle or knee, or be sick, in a place where you just can't ACCESS shelter building material or keep a fire going. But you can get into the hammock and bivy that you brought with you, just fine, You can hang the hammock 6" off of the ground, put debris under it to stop airflow, and be AOK at 34F, in wind and rain, with gear and clothing that are not affected by their getting wet.
Knowledge is king! Great vid !!

Out here in New Mexico, we have yuccas. They’re incredible at cordage. Saw it and clicked right away! Love the content my friend❤
Thank you my friend! I have used yucca as well and I agree, it is incredible!
