Natural Cordage Survival Friction Fire
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 พ.ค. 2014
- Lonnie produces a friction fire ember using a natural cordage that he gets in the woods. A fairly quick, easy, non complicated way of producing cordage that works well for this method of friction fire. This friction fire method is the traditional method used by the Eskimo people group for generations and is known as the "Eskimo strap drill" or "arctic strap drill" method.

Brother you're videos are really informative in their simplicity....wouldn't be surprised if you've saved lives and limbs already lol! Thanks and God Bless
I have watched so many of your videos. I love them all. You are my favorite. You are like the Boy Scout leader I never had. Please continue doing what you are doing.
Wow...This just popped a really old memory into my head. Back in the 60s when I was in around grade 5 we had these science/nature pamphlets that came out every few weeks and distributed to the class. It usually had some activity on the back page and I remember one telling us to find a willow branch in the spring about as big around as your finger and about 6 inches long. You were supposed to be able to slide the bark off whole then carve out chambers then slide the bark back on to make a whistle of some kind. Had to be willow, had to be spring. The neighbour who had the only willows in the area wouldn't let me cut any, so I never did try.
Nicely shown Lonnie, and well filmed Connie!
I swear my mouth just dropped open with amazement. Thank you sir.
Thank you for your videos I am going camping and hiking soon and this shows me the tools to help with survival
That was mightly impressive! Many thanks for taking the time to record and share this technique. Kind regards from London ~Peace~
Hi, Lonnie. Awesome video as usual. Sorry I haven't commented for a while. Been pretty busy with work and don't get on youtube very often. Thanks for sharing this skill with us. Have a great day! Mike
Aw Connie and Lonnie! haha
Thank you and your wife for making this video. I have never seen this style of a bow drill and I am looking forward to trying it. Thanks again.
🌲I been watching the videos from new to old and put a comment about natural cordage, then was given a link to this one, so here I am. But I want to say it's I wasn't ready for that beard thing... I mean I was used to all these newer videos he had a long beard, now suddenly I watch this one with short beard.
🌲BTW, enjoyed the video. Something new to try now that I seen this method like bow drill.
Looks awkward but it kicked off quick enough. Thanks for showing me / us . Have a great evening
I always appreciate whatever I learn from your videos, Lonnie. This is really useful.
Great how to video Lonnie
Was with ya every breath ! Thanks
Thank you, Lonnie (and Connie). I truly enjoy you videos, and I love how instructive they are. Please keep up the good work.
Excellent instructional video on a slightly different friction fire method. Thanks Lonnie.
Well done Lonnie
Thanks
Excellent vid on a remarkable technique. Tnx for sharing & pleae keep up the good work!
Excellent job!
Thanks for sharing. I'll be checking out more of his videos for sure.
Very Cool demonstration. Awesome.
You did that amazingly fast, I expected the bark to split long before you had finished
even if the bark had broken you still had plenty left over from the branch.
Love your videos. It's great to see how others where taught the same skills and how skills are done slightly different in different regions of the country.
+PilgrimsBushcraft Thank you very much. To my knowledge, Charley and I are the first people ever to teach this traditional sitting position Eskimo strap drill. We are the first ones to have ever taught the traditional technique via TH-cam videos if not the whole web and I believe it is the whole web. neither one of us was ever able to find any teaching of this style on the web before we introduced it. This however is how it was done traditionally.
Great video again and simple explanation is your style ..very good way to start fire! Greeting from your south friends! :-)
Great job Lonnie, I saw your first video on this method with your friend and I think I will try this method, almost looks easier than a bow drill, thanks so much for sharing with us!
Hey Lonnie, Never seen a friction fire like that! That`s very interesting and it shows how many different ways and variations there can be in a survival technique.
Thanks for sharing man!!
Thanks for the demo.

Happy Trials From A 'Lil Farther Down The Road ATB Terry
" GOD BLESS "
Awesome buddy! This is what Im looking for. Thanks!
Bowdrillaz Bushcrafter Thank you. It is good you found here what you are looking for
This is a new one to me. It looks like I have to catch up on some of your new vids. For some reason Google+ unsubbed me from a lot of channels so I have missed a lot.
Great the way you do that I've often wondered about this method for the hand drill. Probably would need a piece of harder wood spliced on the top end of the spindle. Thankyou Lonnie and Connie
Pretty cool
joshuah moran Thank you
Lonnie
Another great video! I tried to e mail you back the other day< yes you were right :)
I like seeing different methods of fire starting as opposed to just the bow drill. I wish this dude was my father or an uncle. How awesome would your childhood have been?
Very nice Loonie, and Connie. But please be careful with that one...one slip and youll get the stick in your face.... greatings from sweden
Hi to you both,
Nice video and you make things look a lot easier than they are!
Like the idea of the steed hearth, I have never seen it before and it I guess saves the risk of transplanting the ember to the birds nest via whatever is chosen to carry it?
Take care

Never seen this before.
You gotta know what you're looking for in order to find what you need. Well said, Lonnie. Where I go there is only pine and spruce. I wonder if spruce bark would work? Would this work with bow drill or is attaching it to the bow too difficult? would it work with nettle cordage? Thanks for another great video!
We do have nettle here in South Central Alaska but very little here where I live so I have not tried any nettle cordage. I do not know how strong or durable it is. If I remember correctly though I believe that I have seen some videos of folks using Nettle cordage for friction fire. Spruce roots work okay for friction fire cordage. I have had better luck with black spruce over white spruce however. Pine or spruce bark is not suitable for cordage use.
Thank-you, Lonnie. I'll have to try spruce roots. Appreciate your videos!
Good video---- your hat has a shine to it, is it made of leather?
Yes the hat I was wearing in this video was leather. I now wear a cotton oil cloth hat.
Im curious why its better to leave it on the tree,when you remove the bark??
So u dont have to spin or put pressure or force into removing the bark which u would be doing if it where in ur lap thus increasing the chance of tearing
thanks
Lonnie, I find that method to dangerous in an already dangerous survival situation. I would simply use my hands rather than taking the chance of damaging my teeth, eyes, or face. Also I saw Ray Mears and others make natural cordage from high fiberous plants that worked on a bow drill.
How do I find soap in nature?
How can I Make my own sope?
Thank u Lonnie
//Kind Regards

Almost looks easier than a bow drill....
