Fire Plow Friction Fire-- The most simple fire!

Up your fire game by using the most ignored, but simple fire making technique out there.

#survival #fire #challenge
Fire Plow is a friction fire-making technique perfected by the Polynesians and Micronesians. Usually used only in Tropical places with the perfect materials, I take on the challenge of creating a fire plow in the wet forests of Northern California to see if it is a realistic survival fire-making technique for damp climates.

Hopefully more videos on the way by Summer. Please subscribe!

A couple of weeks ago I challenged myself to rough it out in the woods for 3 days using things I learned from your channel. I made a shelter, built a fire, and actually trapped a couple of fish. I had a blast and I really appreciate what you do here on the channel

I was just re-watching an old vid from a few years ago and wondering if you had any more recent content, well lo and behold here we are!

I really appreciate that you showed how many attempts it can take. Too many folks try to give this idea of wilderness survival skills being easy and picked up immediately. In reality, like basically everything in life, it takes practice and repeated tries. Only question for a video like this would be the blade necessary. Looks like you've something akin to a machete but could this be done with a hatchet? A standard camping knife? Would love those sorts of "gear questions" addressed. Glad to see you back making vids. :)

Glad you're back! Im an avid follower of Bushcraft and survival. There are so many channels to choose from but you have a way of teaching that not many do. You're in my top three! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks

Are you kidding?! Is Tom fkn back?!

That stump @1:55 is incredible. Wish we had giants like that here in Wa.

Maybe a video about carrying fire and keeping fire in a survival situation. I learned that was one of many very important things people have forgot about. Your video topics are better than the majority of the "survival" videos on YouTube.

Bravo. And thank you for filming the failures - very valuable!

You are so inspirational. I love all your tutorials, keeping it so simple and real. I especially love it when you go out with nothing but a pocket knife and making it work, you are amazing! Thank you for all your posts.
