I can honestly say that I have absolutely NEVER in my life have made a bow drill for fire lighting even in the boyscout days way back when LOL. Cheers. And yep changed my screen name on here again LOL.

What I found from my scouting days as a young scout and later as an adult scout leader was that to tech fire lighting was that you must always work in reverse, first selecting your wood and tinder, 'Then' lighting your fire as it saves rushing around finding wood once the fire is lit. But, no one seems to teach that nowadays. Hmm...! That said, your videos are fantastic. Thank you...!

Great content and examples. On the east coast USA I've done this with maple wood and gotten the same results. Keep up the good work.

I have tried friction fire 4 times and on the fourth i finally got it to work. I cant stress enough how much preparation is important

One little additional tip: if you're using a wood bearing block and it's getting hot or losing efficiency from friction, a little water, oil, or even spit can allow you reduce friction on the top of the spindle and make using a wooden bearing block easier

Tried limpets before and got too hot, but 2 stacked is a great idea. Thanks for sharing 👍
