Survival Skills: One Armed Bow Drill Technique | Friction Fire Survival Situation

Ovens shows, but doesn't tell, his preferred method in starting a friction fire with a bow drill, which only requires the use of one arm. If you’re in a REAL survival situation there is a good chance you are conserving energy, if not injured. Being able to start a fire in such a predicament is vital. You don't have to worry about that here, though. Instead, just watch and listen to the sights and sounds of making a fire in the woods.

Very nice. Wasn't thinking it makes it easier but that using a log makes the pressure uniform, consistent and constant.

My right shoulder cant take the pain of a bow drill anymore. This might be a great way to learn left handed! Thanks Greg

Need a "Contraption" class... bow drills, snares, traps, sling shots, etc. Oh, wait, these are classes. Thx guys. Y'all are the best.
