Learning to Make Fire the Hard Way

Checkout my Skillshare classes:

This week I try my hand (once again) at learning to make fire the old fashioned way - fire by friction. I previously failed at getting an ember going with the hand drill technique. In this revisit I try using different kinds of woods and work on my technique more to see if that makes a difference.

I was waiting for the standard "day 1, hour 0" and was blown back lol.

Imagine people from prehistory watching this and laughing.

Mike: I want to make fire the way it was made 50 thousands years ago
Also Mike: watches TV while making fire

Can’t believe that that video was a year ago, feels like yesterday.

Making fire is not hard. You just need to dig gravel to get some flint and you also need to find 1 iron ore. Its that simple

Mike, you really need to do a "surviving in the wild for a week challenge"
Think about it, you know how to fish with natural resources, you know how to find and identify safe food in the forest and you know how to make fire. Im sure you could learn a couple more skills to prepare for it so maybe a 2 part series. DO IT

Mike: “Carry around this two chemicals”
Me: “Or just bring a lighter”

Imagine watching a Mike Boyd video and it doesn't begin with day 1 hour 0

A problem with his ‘Average Mike’ series now is that he has learnt so many skills and gotten so quick at picking up new skills that he is no longer ‘average.’
