Lonnie, I think the best moment in this whole thing is at around 11:52, when the first spindle shaft broke. You acknowledged that the stick breaking was a failure, but without fuss. No cursing, no wailing, no bemoaning of fate or feeling like a failure yourself. You accepted it calmly, and reminded yourself to just keep trying. That's a great example for everyone to follow!
In a survival situation, you can't afford to take the time to be upset, just gotta keep going, keep trying till you get that fire. I'm glad he shows that it isn't always easy or straightforward, while at the same time shows that persistence pays off.
This stuff took me a long time to accomplish and I was about 65 when I first got a coal . I'm now 71 or will be in a couple of weeks. One has to keep these skills polished or you simply just lose it and I have to do it often or I'm not physically capable of getting this coal . I practice this a lot at least every week or 10 days and I change up the wood pieces to see if it works or is more difficult . I don't always make a new set but I try to as often as I can so as to learn some new little subtle details that will help speed up the process. I've even used green wood several times just for the challenge, which requires a whole new look at doing this .The accomplishment of this includes new areas to have to conquer, like the drying out the spindle and the hearth board. Sometimes I almost have to crawl back to the house from the exhaustion and on other occasions I use a set that I've pre dryed and bust out a coal in 30 seconds. Nevertheless I love the challenge and on occasion I still fail ,but that is only temporarily. It's one of the few exciting things that at my age is still fun but challenging. Sorry I went so long !
And this is why yours will always be my favorite channel. No one does it better! This is what the heart of bushcraft is all about. Thinking outside of the box and thinking of a way to get through that problem. This is why you will always be the king! Amazing video my friend. You are an inspiration to us all! All the best, cheers from Canada! Shawn
The thought that this is possible has never, and probably would never, have even occurred to me. Every video I become more impressed with Lonnie's knowledge. I find myself sitting here wishing I could spend a summer with him. Imagine how much could be learned.
Seriously impressive. Totally LOVED the fact you failed and showed the failure. It made the successful start of the fire even more satisfying. Great skills.
True. I have seen people who have been doing well researching and have been doing it for many many years who still have not yet been able to master friction fire.
lol You might have missed the video where I did kind of what you are talking about except it was a tiny creek. Succeed With Water soaked Friction Fire Set th-cam.com/video/4IR_CvF3-8U/w-d-xo.html
You are a true master of the outdoors Lonnie, most of us can only sit back in awe and take in the years of bushcraft knowledge that you have . Keep up the great work and take care .
I love how u show failed moments and how sometimes it takes more than once and to make adjustments. Your videos are always educational for me and I've learned so many things from you. Cant thank you enough.
Lonnie, you truly are " The Old Man of the Forests ". I really do appreciate you taking the thought, care and the time you put into teaching us your wilderness techniques on video. I really enjoyed watching this and living in Dixie land I will definitely use this technique first, before anything else in starting fires. It will save the edge on my wilderness tools for more important or extended usages. I can save and conserve all my firemaking equipment as last resorts or more difficult situations. Between this and solar options frugality can begin in firemaking. Great in an emergency where a hairbrain forgets to tote a knife. Thanks again friend, talk at you later.
Great video..! It's very unlikely that a person lost in the woods, without a cutting tool, without matches would be collected enough and not panicking, to have enough self-control to look for all that's required to start a fire this way. This video is educational and pleasant to watch.
If the Lord tarries, one hundred years from now, the legends of Lonnie shall endure. "I heard that he once pulled soaking wet wood out of a stream and started a friction fire" 🌲💧🔥

Hi from England, I am 67 and lived in B C Canada a few years when I was young but never had the skills I have seen you use, what a great teacher you are I take my hat off to you sir, very good knowledge you have shared, I hope I never need to use it but in this day and age nothing is certain thankyou very much
Awesome job, Lonnie, and great camera work Connie. Even though you've demonstrated that this can be done without tools, it also encourages me to never be caught without them. Thanks for sticking with it until you had a flame!
Lonnie color me impressed! I know it can be done, but actuallly seeing you searh for the items, select this one, discard that one, and even break the spindle yet you just kept working the problem and showed us that it is possible. Sure makes me want to go out back in the woods and see if I could do that. Thanks again for your knowledge and guidance. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos.
'There are so many key teaching points in this video. As always, top notch. I don't think anybody on youtube would have done this any better, or especially explained it in such proper detail. Thanks Lonnie. You are a champ.
Great video again Lonnie. Like I've said before, I really enjoy how you show your difficulties and failures in your videos. It goes a long way to translate just how difficult some of these concepts are to actually do.

You'd first have to figure out how to make a cell phone (out of sticks and stones) and then hack the service, only to find that you don't have his number.
Wow this is so informative, knowing how to make a fire without tools is one of the most important skills you can ever learn... I'm so glad you can share your knowledge
Just so you know, I just watched and clicked on every commercial that pumped up during this video... I just hope you appreciate my commitment... Just kidding, this is my way of showing you my appreciation. Keep up the good work!
Lonnie your videos are always informative and amazing. I also like trolling the comments on your sight because every single comment is always full of praise and how positively you've impacted others. Keep in rolling.
Lonnie your the real deal, your knowledge and skills are probably the best on you tube. Your calm and collective manner shows how comfortable and in tune you are in the wild. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Hello Lonnie. Thank you very much for your work. For the lubrication of the bearing block, i have found that using resin or sap in the hole or making the bearing block from fat wood works far better than anything else i have tried. I know you are an expert in this stuff but i thought i would mention it. Thank you again for your generosity in sharing your skills.
Thumbs up! You are definitely demonstrating love to your fellow man with these videos. You might have already caused someone's life to be saved because of these skills you teach. God bless you and Connie!
Wow! That was an excellent demonstration of how we can survive when we suddenly find ourselves in trouble. I found your video's about 1 1/2 years ago. As a non-woods person I find bush crafting very intriguing to watch. Thank you so much for your just in case help. I have a few tools now which I have tried out in my yard. Just received my first real ferro rod that I can hang around my neck. Now all I need is to find a place where I am allowed to start a fire. Might have to travel to my friends place. She has a fire pit. My best regards to you, Connie, and Buck. God bless you always.
I can only imagine the work our ancestors had to go through to create fire. The effort to find and prepare a set without the use of tools consumes so much time. I am sure they did not throw away a working set once they got one that worked for them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Lonnie
Once a set is made, it can be used many times like you said, especially the hearth board. The drill will need to be replaced sooner than the hearth board but still should be good for quite a few embers.
Hey Connie, you ROCK that camera !! These videos wouldn’t be half as good without your excellent camera work !! You deserve as much love as Lonnie, so this one’s for YOU Connie !! ( Love you too Lonnie 😊😊😊 ) !!! My FAVES !!
My Dad used to lube the end of a two piece fishing rod by rubbing the end to be inserted on his nose . wish I had done that to the last one I put together , now I can't get it apart .

Exactly what I was looking for. Most methods are simple when a guy has a pack of tools and gear. How ever if snatched off the street, taken to a remote location.....a little work, and poof...fire. Good Job.

@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival And I like that even though you know you could pretty much start a fire with out tools you have the common sense not to push your luck. The humble master of his domain.
LONNIE YOU THE MAN, IF YOU DONT TEACH THIS IN PERSON, YOU SURE HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE TOO, YA GOT ME WITH THAT MOSS, IT LOOKED GREEN TO ME, LIKE I SAID, YOU HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE
If the ice is clear you might be able to use it as a source for solar ignition. It would not be easy and would rely on the sun but if all else has failed, worth a try. Teaches you to think out side of the box.
Phenomenal video!!! The main skills apart from all your knowledge and experience were patience and perserverance. I never get bored of watching a tinder bundle burst into flames! Kind regards from New Zealand.
Lonnie makes it look relatively easy, when ya know how, and gave us an excellent no frills demo , many thanks for your time. Just goes to show what can be done whith no tools, and how important carrying the right tools and kit realy is. Atb , Stuart UK.
Glad you enjoyed it. You hit upon something that is one of the greatest keys to survival in my opinion. Being prepared before hand by carrying the right tools, supplies etc to see you through whatever could happen if your situation goes bad. So so so many people go into the wilderness unprepared in both supplies as well as knowledge. It may take years to achieve a sufficient level of mastery of survival skills but bringing adequate supplies can be accomplished by relative novices.
Really good information for anyone learning forest survival skills and how the ancients created fire. The best video Ive seen on the subject yet with no shortcuts or modern tools and a good explanation of the material selection. Im going to start looking for poplar trees. Thanks much.
Yes Sir, you sho nuff are good 👍. My Uncle has a beard just like yours. I wish I could runaround with you for a week or 2. I could learn a lot more about wildlife, & living with nature. I really enjoy your videos.
Here to see how to make a bow drill fire. Havent event watched the video yet, and this guy looks like someone who can start a fire by simply slapping a river. Seriously impressed by him.
Very informative video. I saw it full. The best part is that u considered the actual situation of having nothing. That's what happens in reality, u usually have nothing. Very good video.

True. I have seen people who have been doing well researching and have been doing it for many many years who still have not yet been able to master friction fire.

I explained all of that in the video recording but my video editing software screwed up on me and had to be shut down and restarted several times. So after editing the latter half of the video three different times, I got confused as to what i had in the video and what i left out. I did not realize that that part of the video was missing until after it was all uploaded and ready to go public. I had explained that I was using paracord like I use for my boot strings and I showed my boot strings. I showed stringing up the bow and I explained about clicking on the links above for learning how to use natural cordage for bow and drill if anyone was interested.

The string came from his beard. He forgot to included. 😂
You had me working up a bit of a sweat on that video Lonnie. Thank You for all your knowledge for us novices.
4 knives on you?? What knives are they? One's I guess a fixed blade, the second one I suppose is part of your multi tool, how about the third and fourth? :-))
I'm curious too! Can you go over your knives please?
I want to know too!!! 😜🤔

• Gerber multitool
• Victorinox standard Trekker
• Leathernan Micro
• Opinel #9 carbon steel
I inquired recently. 🙂
Yep . . . Orochi Yagami got it correct.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival And I like that even though you know you could pretty much start a fire with out tools you have the common sense not to push your luck. The humble master of his domain.
LONNIE YOU THE MAN, IF YOU DONT TEACH THIS IN PERSON, YOU SURE HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE TOO, YA GOT ME WITH THAT MOSS, IT LOOKED GREEN TO ME, LIKE I SAID, YOU HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE
Just wait for his next trick ,,, starting a fire using an ice sickle.
If the ice is clear you might be able to use it as a source for solar ignition. It would not be easy and would rely on the sun but if all else has failed, worth a try. Teaches you to think out side of the box.
Phenomenal video!!! The main skills apart from all your knowledge and experience were patience and perserverance. I never get bored of watching a tinder bundle burst into flames! Kind regards from New Zealand.
Lonnie makes it look relatively easy, when ya know how, and gave us an excellent no frills demo , many thanks for your time. Just goes to show what can be done whith no tools, and how important carrying the right tools and kit realy is. Atb , Stuart UK.
Glad you enjoyed it. You hit upon something that is one of the greatest keys to survival in my opinion. Being prepared before hand by carrying the right tools, supplies etc to see you through whatever could happen if your situation goes bad. So so so many people go into the wilderness unprepared in both supplies as well as knowledge. It may take years to achieve a sufficient level of mastery of survival skills but bringing adequate supplies can be accomplished by relative novices.
Experience and patience goes the distance...excellent real life demonstration 🤠❤️✅
Lonnie is a legend! This channel has taught me a lot over the years, thanks for everything man
You never fail to impress me Lonnie.
Really good information for anyone learning forest survival skills and how the ancients created fire. The best video Ive seen on the subject yet with no shortcuts or modern tools and a good explanation of the material selection. Im going to start looking for poplar trees. Thanks much.
Yes Sir, you sho nuff are good 👍. My Uncle has a beard just like yours.
I wish I could runaround with you for a week or 2.
I could learn a lot more about wildlife, & living with nature. I really enjoy your videos.
I have enough trouble starting a fire WITH tools.. Very nicely done, Lonnie! I don’t think you can top this very easily. You always amaze me!
Just wow, no tools and you get perhaps the most difficult method of fire lighting done.
Bless you both, best wishes.
Here to see how to make a bow drill fire. Havent event watched the video yet, and this guy looks like someone who can start a fire by simply slapping a river. Seriously impressed by him.
Very informative video. I saw it full. The best part is that u considered the actual situation of having nothing. That's what happens in reality, u usually have nothing. Very good video.
I was with Lonnie last week, and he rubbed two ice cubes together and created fire.
Or was it two marshmallows. :0) Lol
Lots of good tips Lonnie, many thanks!
