I did a video way back called Friction Fire 3 ways. That's before I learned the Bamboo Fire Saw. So for a long time now, I've been wanting to make this all inclusive video... I start off with the very easy Cotton and Ashes Fire Roll and show how the ignited Fire Roll can linger for 3 minutes and still be brought to flames. Then I show the Hand Drill (Horseweed on Pine) and use 100 floats (still trying to improve my float endurance) and 3 passes down the spindle to get the ember. Then onto the Bow Drill using the Pine 2x4 set. Notice how much sap was in the dust. It wouldn't even knock off my board. Then the Bamboo Fire Saw went off without a hitch.

no dramas, no music, no text voting, no panics....... just a guy with a few ounces of wood and a few hefty pounds of integrity and knowledge to share - thumbs up from me
I'm 75 years old, and gotta say your video was the most enlightening fire-starting video ever. I would have paid to see this (NO, I didn't say that.). I'm Bookmarking this wonderful video to review to never forget. Thanks for sharing. Also, you made it quite enjoyable by not talking so much like some do but allowed the viewer to appreciate the magic. Thanks again for a quality view. God bless, ciao.
I teach a home school class of high school aged kids. I showed them how to make a fire using the fire roll method. I'm now the coolest teacher in the whole association. Thanks David!
Not an outdoorsman. Can't even remember last time I spent a night outside camping style. Unlike many a TH-cam video I actually FEEL educated . Like this was very good lesson and an important one I didn't know I was lacking in. I also appreciate you not being condescending and straight to the point no bullshit and fake frills all in a take. Thumbs up and subbing as well as roommate in tow. With all the tablets and phones and smart this and that we have strayed far from these basic and primal skills that paved the way for our ancestors to even evolve to what would begat us. Thank you for reminding us and the lesson. I look forward to learning more from you sir !
That was so cool, I really enjoy watching your techniques of fire making, that was the first time I had ever seen it done with bamboo and I have a lot I mean a lot of bamboo on my property, I'm going to pass those skills down to my twin grandboys that are 14 years old now but also teach them the safety of fire also 👍
Thank you very much for this video. I was hoping for a little more of a materials you would find while in a survival scenario, but I learned several things here that help alot. Lol the ball bearing for the bow drill is genious.
I have always wanted to see these done in order to learn them. You see it in camping / survival books but it's just not the same. This gives you an idea of about how long it should take to get things starting. Thanks.
Normally when I’m watching these instructional videos, I skip and fast forward parts of it. This is the first video where I watched every second of it to the end. Amazing techniques and very educational. Thanks for the upload. 👍🏼👏 fantastic job.
It would be awesome to have him as a neighbor...Awesome video, very informative. I'll be learning/teaching my kids using this video. One can never have too many survival skills.
Thanks David. You did a nice job of not making the video too drawn out and I learned a few things while I was watching it. Excellent. I'm going to use a modified version of the bamboo fire saw and try it with pine. I'm sure it will work. We don't have bamboo readily available here.
My son asked me to take him rustic camping for his birthday this May. I can handle myself outdoors but I’ve raised him in the city. Your videos have given him a little taste of what’s in store. He doesn’t know he’ll be pooping in the woods, or bathing in a 60 degree lake yet...Bahaahaaa!!!
I thought great it's going to take him 28 minutes to start one fire. Wow I am impressed this is one video I am glad I watched. And you were not in any hurry during any of the demonstrations. From other videos I always got the impression you needed to move to get this done. Wow great video thank you!!!
Bloody awesome video thanks mate. I know a lot of the young peeps who never knew you could make a fire like this, will get heaps out of it, and if they paid attention, just might save their butts one day. Keep up the fantastic work!!!!!!!!
Your video is absolutely excellent! I’ve never seen the bamboo fire method before and it was very informative. You really make look so easy and I’m sure that I can do it too. I can do flint and steel, but never tried the bow drill methods. Thank you
You make hand drilling a fire look bloody easy. I think I managed to get an ember once or twice as a kid, and I'll stick to bow drills since I'm not caught dead without cordage in the bush. :)
I really enjoyed this video... I was a Boy Scout was young, we had to make fire. It was not as easy as you make it seem... but practice makes perfect... I had never seen the ash & cotton roll technique before this video... thanks for taking the time.
Not really practical. Who carries all of that crap or has it just laying around when the skill is needed. I spent 20 years in the Marine Corps and taught wilderness survival. Let me tell you.... this is good for TH-cam and that's about it. The one method that is practical is the bamboo. The other methods are not achievable in a true wilderness survival situation. If you notice he has all of the tools he needs right there. Who carries all of the exact tools around has them ready when needed not in a toolshed. Go into the woods basically with a knife and make fire and we can talk business. This is mostly entertainment. If you are at home and the power goes off ok. In the woods you're in big trouble!
Calvin Foster yeah that’s what I was thinking. He’s good at making the fires but then again he has all the necessary tools. In an actual survival situation a person won’t have most if any of those things. It pretty much makes this video useless if you’re trying to teach someone something. I’d rather see someone start a fire in a realistic survival situation.
Wow, an amazing video! I knew of the hand drill and bow drill techniques, but the fire roll and bamboo fire saw are completely new to me. Thanks, very educational!
Hi David, Thank you very much for making this video. Straight to the point, pleasant to watch ... well done sir :) I had never heard of the bamboo Fire Saw, pretty cool!
Mister, you really know very well what you do. Your self confidence is amazing. Very informative and very interesting video. I never saw the first technique, it is very interesting. Thanks for the video.
That's amazing! The bamboo friction fire demonstration! Where did you learn that one!? That was KEWL! I've learned more from watching 2 videos of yours than a whole year of a 10% of demonstration and 90% BS & hype. That's one reason i like your channel. You do...you explain while you're doing it, and you do it real-time! Thank you SO much. You're a FINE teacher!
People like you are the reason I cancelled my TV service and watch worthwhile Vids like you did. Thank you....the things I didn't know at 68 that I do now.
Incredible video! Thank you so much for sharing with everyone. You were clear, concise, and very meticulous; great qualities in an effective instructor. I would've liked to have seen your floating technique (your hands were cut out of the shot). Aside from that, Keep it up!
Sure a very interesting video! Having scouted in my early years and biv-wacked in military excursions these are "sure-fire" ways of rustling up a good fire in many different areas of the world. Thank you for the instruction.
While watching, i was thinking something like "Damn.. this guy makes it look so easy.." :D This has to be the best such tutorial i've seen so far. Both educational and enjoyable to watch.
I didn't know about the bamboo. That one surprised me and well done on this video. I agree with the other comments stating that this is "no fluff", informative content on fire making 🔥
I had all the ingredients to try this on our apartments balcony and was in the process of trying out your technique. Great by the way. But, my wife stopped me when I took her cutting board out.
Decades of fire starting.... NEVER have I seen or heard of the cotton-ash-fire-roll. Want to know more about technique (ash type, pressure, direction, etc) as well as the science behind how/why it works. Thank you.
When i was in 5th grade and i was a boy scout i started to make a fire in a bamboo friction...becoz we have a challenge how to survive in the mountain,the thing is we have to cook rice, to boil eggs for our group for lunch into a big fresh bamboo...in that way we got the championship award from our district boyscout camping....that was 1989...thnx for reminding that thing sir,i really appreciate it.
Great job! I wish you would give the names of each piece you are using when you pick them up. My daughter likes camping and now has three little boys and a teenage daughter who she would love to teach your techniques.

Always wanted to se a video of someone out in the woods with no knife or any tools other than what the woods provide to start a fire. I can't seem to find any on youtube. I did subscribe great job.
After the 2 1/2 years of this video being up, let me give you a FRESH INSIGHT on an interesting part that has never been noticed before... Look how strong the updraft at 5:40 when I tried to throw scraps of tinder into the stove. WOW!!!
You know there's another technique using a hardwood stick in a groove/notch on another hardwood board with a little feathering in the notch to catch your ember
Great video. I agree totally with Metal Heart comment on no BS music and just the actual sound of what's going on and your voice as a guide....and the locusts... Thank you.
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to cover the different techniques. Some like myself don't have your experience. You made them all look easy. Couldn't turn it off till I'd seen them all. Good work. Again thanks.

Finally, somebody noticed and commented. LOL... getting tired adds a lot to the difficulty. NOW, I'll share something with you that hasn't been talked about yet. When you get tired you start making mistakes. How dangerous it was to leave my knife stuck in that tree when I got the bamboo fire saw ember? If I had gotten tripped up and started to go down, I'd have been blindly reaching for anything to regain my balance. I learned my lesson though. That's the first thing I remove, now, before I ever start blowing on the ember.
Neat video, showing four techniques. I had never seen the Cotten, ash and board technique before. Thanks for the video. It was very informative and clear instruction.
This is almost unbelievable. I guess you can make fire out of thin air. Great. This "fire-roll" and the "bamboo-saw" I´ve never seen before. Excellent idea. The first time I watched one of your videos and immediately I subscribed. Great work, good video. Thanks.
first time seeing your channel.thanks for sharing your knowledge.i never done or seen the ash cotton roll very good.one of the things I learn from your video is composure and let your ember develop.once you get a good one you don't have to rush.very nice job sir.
That fire roll looks quite easy as long as you have access to flat board and dry ashes, I'll have to try that one to impress the family. I've only ever had luck with the bow drill
I did a video way back called Friction Fire 3 ways. That's before I learned the Bamboo Fire Saw. So for a long time now, I've been wanting to make this all inclusive video...

Brings me back to my Boy Scout days.
Yes, this is usful! But, try to make fire wen it is cloudi, miste, everithing is extremli wet.
no dramas, no music, no text voting, no panics....... just a guy with a few ounces of wood and a few hefty pounds of integrity and knowledge to share - thumbs up from me

The bird's provided the needed audio.
That was a great video - nice, quiet, no nonsense, no BS music. Just a guy who knows his stuff showin' how to do it. :-)
High praise... TY!
Those of us that have made fire with the hand drill know just how difficult it is. You made it look almost effortless. Excellent video.
The right materials in the right condition makes it easy. I don’t find great materials like that every year. TY!
Meticulous, patient and confident. Well done sir.
I have legitimately never seen someone successfully create a hand drill fire that quickly before. Absolutely amazing
Yes, almost as fast as the bow drill.
I teach a home school class of high school aged kids. I showed them how to make a fire using the fire roll method. I'm now the coolest teacher in the whole association. Thanks David!

Well, that was 29 minutes of my life I never want back. If I did, I wouldn't know these 4 awesome and well shown methods of creating fire. Thanks.
If you watched it at 2x speed it would have taken you half the time to learn. Just sayin'.
I concur
@@sethflix wise guy!
I never get tired of watching you make fire. Very relaxing.
I never get tired of you looking over my shoulder.
2+ years later and you're still teaching people.. thank you for this. :)
Former Navy here too brother. I really like your vids. Take care and thanks.
I like how you did that all in one take . Very confident
Wientz seriously 😐 this guy will survive like a pro I’m scared 😦
He was prepared well in advance. Smart...
Fire indeed
23:16
Best that I have seen. And I have seen many. Your video is the first one to make me want to have a go. No music, no bull. Many thanks sir.
You could step outside right now, knock out a fire roll, and come right back in and let me know how it went. Aint nothin to it but to do it!
Good advice, and I will do that when I can. Bed bound at the moment with bad back but your videos will spur me on.👍
That was so cool, I really enjoy watching your techniques of fire making, that was the first time I had ever seen it done with bamboo and I have a lot I mean a lot of bamboo on my property, I'm going to pass those skills down to my twin grandboys that are 14 years old now but also teach them the safety of fire also 👍

LOL! Don't bother to check out my 100s of other fire videos.
I have always wanted to see these done in order to learn them. You see it in camping / survival books but it's just not the same. This gives you an idea of about how long it should take to get things starting. Thanks.
I really like your video no cut, no editing, and I like it , good to past on our children

I was familiar with all methods but the fire roll..all four methods are outstanding and potentially life savers!🙂 Great video!!
TY. Please visit my fire roll playlist.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl My pleasure Sir. I sure will :-)
I have never seen or heard of the cotton one, that is crazy. Thank you so much for sharing that.
My son asked me to take him rustic camping for his birthday this May. I can handle myself outdoors but I’ve raised him in the city. Your videos have given him a little taste of what’s in store. He doesn’t know he’ll be pooping in the woods, or bathing in a 60 degree lake yet...Bahaahaaa!!!
In 50 years he'll be taking you. Bahaahaaa!!!
Very impressed with the cotton and ash roll as well as the bamboo fire starting.
Well done!
I thought great it's going to take him 28 minutes to start one fire.
Wow I am impressed this is one video I am glad I watched. And you were not in any hurry during any of the demonstrations.
From other videos I always got the impression you needed to move to get this done.
Wow great video thank you!!!
Thank you friend.
Wow! Never seen the cotton ball and ashes one. That's fabulous!!
Friction fire teppanyaki! Watching a true master of his craft. Well done David.
The Bamboo version is especially practical for us in the Caribbean. Good Job!
In the Philippines too. But we are usually taught that in grade school scouting. Excellent video nonetheless.
Yeah, my least favorite method, but not a lot of bamboo here in AZ. 😏
Bloody awesome video thanks mate. I know a lot of the young peeps who never knew you could make a fire like this, will get heaps out of it, and if they paid attention, just might save their butts one day. Keep up the fantastic work!!!!!!!!
Saw the bamboo technique in someone else's video and couldn't figure out how it worked - thanks for showing everything so clearly!
alot of people use dual channels in their top bamboo and slide it across both sides of the bamboo, but it isnt necessary as he showed.
Great practical video on basic fire-starting techniques. Thank you very much!
Well , i have to admit it, this are the best 28 + minutes i have ever spent on TH-cam, thanks for that,, i learned a lot,,
There is something supremely satisfying knowing you can start a fire with nature's materials and your bare hands. Thanks for this!
Your video is absolutely excellent! I’ve never seen the bamboo fire method before and it was very informative. You really make look so easy and I’m sure that I can do it too. I can do flint and steel, but never tried the bow drill methods. Thank you
Very good knowledge sir thanks a lot

Thank you very much for making this video. Straight to the point, pleasant to watch ... well done sir :)
I had never heard of the bamboo Fire Saw, pretty cool!
Phenomenal! Back to basics with a PhD. Thank you for this inspiration and education. Many Blessings!!
I have never seen nor heard of the fire roll. thanks for sharing. phenomenal job definitely adding this to my kit today brother!!!
Mister, you really know very well what you do. Your self confidence is amazing. Very informative and very interesting video. I never saw the first technique, it is very interesting. Thanks for the video.
TY. Please see my fire roll playlist for videos about that technique.
@DavidWestBgood2ppl I will sir. Thank you so much...
Never seen that cotton and ash roll Thank you very much! That made my day! You learn something new everyday
this is very kind of you to pass on to humanity thank you for donating your time1
Thank you!
I liked the fire techniques, first I didn't know the Fire Roll, I had already seen the rest. Thank you for sharing with us!
Pretty slick, especially the cotton and ashes, that’s a new one for me. Great technique all around.
Thanks 👍
That's amazing! The bamboo friction fire demonstration! Where did you learn that one!? That was KEWL! I've learned more from watching 2 videos of yours than a whole year of a 10% of demonstration and 90% BS & hype. That's one reason i like your channel. You do...you explain while you're doing it, and you do it real-time! Thank you SO much. You're a FINE teacher!
This amazes me.
I have tried for years to get a fire from a bow drill.Let alone the Bamboo, the fire board,and hand drill.
Please see my playlists related to each technique. TY!
By far, the most comprehensive, instructional vid on friction fire starting that I have seen thus far.
Thank you, sir!
😎
People like you are the reason I cancelled my TV service and watch worthwhile Vids like you did. Thank you....the things I didn't know at 68 that I do now.
I watch a lot of TH-cam instead of cable tv also. Thanks!
Incredible video! Thank you so much for sharing with everyone. You were clear, concise, and very meticulous; great qualities in an effective instructor. I would've liked to have seen your floating technique (your hands were cut out of the shot). Aside from that, Keep it up!
I have lots of floating hand drill videos. Thanks!
Can’t believe I have never seen the cotton ash fire roll method before. 66 yrs old and I somehow missed that. Thanks, never too old to learn!
Please see my fire roll playlist.
Sure a very interesting video! Having scouted in my early years and biv-wacked in military excursions these are "sure-fire" ways of rustling up a good fire in many different areas of the world. Thank you for the instruction.
thanks for the knowledge it was very very clear how you present it
While watching, i was thinking something like "Damn.. this guy makes it look so easy.." :D
This has to be the best such tutorial i've seen so far. Both educational and enjoyable to watch.
I didn't know about the bamboo. That one surprised me and well done on this video. I agree with the other comments stating that this is "no fluff", informative content on fire making 🔥
Thanks for watching!
I had all the ingredients to try this on our apartments balcony and was in the process of trying out your technique. Great by the way. But, my wife stopped me when I took her cutting board out.
Hadn't seen or heard of the bamboo fire saw. Very slick. Bamboo is a great item -- can be used in so many ways.
Master fire maker ...thanks for the bamboo technique... best one .
Thanks for for breaking it down in great detail. No one else does it like you, Thank You one day ill teach my grand- babies pass it on.
Decades of fire starting.... NEVER have I seen or heard of the cotton-ash-fire-roll. Want to know more about technique (ash type, pressure, direction, etc) as well as the science behind how/why it works. Thank you.
Check out my Rudiger roll playlist. Thanks!
I know right ,im sitting here with my jaw on the floor. Never have i seen this or heard of it in 25 years of bushcrafting. Lol
That was the fastest friction fire I’ve ever seen.. cotton and ash!!! Who knew???
Until it smokes. But what do I know.
Awesome
Very handy tips, easy to understand. Cant get much better in an informative video
When i was in 5th grade and i was a boy scout i started to make a fire in a bamboo friction...becoz we have a challenge how to survive in the mountain,the thing is we have to cook rice, to boil eggs for our group for lunch into a big fresh bamboo...in that way we got the championship award from our district boyscout camping....that was 1989...thnx for reminding that thing sir,i really appreciate it.
Great demonstrations and very well explained! Thank you very much for teaching us these fire making skills.
Thanks JC!
Great job! I wish you would give the names of each piece you are using when you pick them up. My daughter likes camping and now has three little boys and a teenage daughter who she would love to teach your techniques.
Woah, another Zeda out in the wild! What are the chances? (There aren't very many where I'm from!)
It was great to have these all in the same video. well done. thank you for posting.
You are a fire master. Thank you for sharing.
Not really practical. Who carries all of that crap or has it just laying around when the skill is needed. I spent 20 years in the Marine Corps and taught wilderness survival. Let me tell you.... this is good for TH-cam and that's about it. The one method that is practical is the bamboo. The other methods are not achievable in a true wilderness survival situation. If you notice he has all of the tools he needs right there. Who carries all of the exact tools around has them ready when needed not in a toolshed. Go into the woods basically with a knife and make fire and we can talk business. This is mostly entertainment. If you are at home and the power goes off ok. In the woods you're in big trouble!
I have to say this is the most completed kit for starting a fire. You covered all basis God bless your heart.
Awesome, never heard of the fire roll technique. Another one in the ole memory bank
It's tough enough to Master One technique for you to master all four speaks volumes good job really enjoyed the video
the last method was pretty good as I had not seen this yet....well done !
Always wanted to se a video of someone out in the woods with no knife or any tools other than what the woods provide to start a fire. I can't seem to find any on youtube.
I did subscribe great job.
Have I got a channel for you then...NW Primate.
After the 2 1/2 years of this video being up, let me give you a FRESH INSIGHT on an interesting part that has never been noticed before... Look how strong the updraft at 5:40 when I tried to throw scraps of tinder into the stove. WOW!!!
You know there's another technique using a hardwood stick in a groove/notch on another hardwood board with a little feathering in the notch to catch your ember
@@michelguevara151 That's the fire plow. I don't want to work that hard... neither on the Strap Drill, Eskimo Drill, Pump drill, nor others.
David West. What type of ash do you use in the 'fire roll'?
I've never seen that method before, it's brilliant. Have a sub ☺
@@myster.ejones1306 All types of wood ashes work. Please check out the 60 fire roll videos in my Rudiger Roll Playlist.
David West . I will, thanks David ☺
Great video. I agree totally with Metal Heart comment on no BS music and just the actual sound of what's going on and your voice as a guide....and the locusts... Thank you.
I enjoyed making that one, a lot!
Wow mr West that is an impressive set of skills , all completed with less time & more accuracy than ive seen by anyone else before.
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to cover the different techniques. Some like myself don't have your experience. You made them all look easy. Couldn't turn it off till I'd seen them all. Good work. Again thanks.

No cuts or video edits while making the embers. This guy is the real deal!

When you get tired you start making mistakes. How dangerous it was to leave my knife stuck in that tree when I got the bamboo fire saw ember? If I had gotten tripped up and started to go down, I'd have been blindly reaching for anything to regain my balance. I learned my lesson though. That's the first thing I remove, now, before I ever start blowing on the ember.
Awesome training video sir
SIR YOU ARE A GENIUS, THE FIRE ROLL IS MY FAVORITE. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO TEACH US...
I appreciate your lessons, David
Neat video, showing four techniques. I had never seen the Cotten, ash and board technique before. Thanks for the video. It was very informative and clear instruction.
P;ease check out my Fire Roll/Rudiger Roll playlist. TY!
I'm impressed and subscribed! 4 fires in 30 minutes!
Haven't checked in for a while. Using the rust and Bamboo, awesome techniques.
Welcome back!
That’s the first time I’ve seen the fire roll excellent video clear and easy to follow 👍and you got a new sub many thanks for sharing sir
This is almost unbelievable. I guess you can make fire out of thin air. Great. This "fire-roll" and the "bamboo-saw" I´ve never seen before. Excellent idea. The first time I watched one of your videos and immediately I subscribed. Great work, good video. Thanks.
TY, SA!
thanks again mr. West I really enjoy your tutorials, super fantastic.
All technics very well done. Impressive.
Thanks KN!
Great survival demostration, very informative.
first time seeing your channel.thanks for sharing your knowledge.i never done or seen the ash cotton roll very good.one of the things I learn from your video is composure and let your ember develop.once you get a good one you don't have to rush.very nice job sir.
Thanks David!
thank you for sharing those good technics cool!!!
You make all 4 ways look so easy
Thanks!! Loved the video especially the bamboo! Great job!! God bless
That fire roll looks quite easy as long as you have access to flat board and dry ashes, I'll have to try that one to impress the family. I've only ever had luck with the bow drill
Watch my Rudiger Roll playlist first.
That was the fastest fire started by a hand drill I've ever seen.
He had a bring on the top press
Now that my friends is a true survival show, without fire there’s no purifying water, no cooking meat, and no staying warm.
Oooh cool! The cotton/ash roll is pretty awesome! Thanks!!
