That was cool! I think I will try that. Of course, the tools available might not be the same on a hike, but always have a good sharp knife.

I'm reading The Sackett Brand, and Tell just started a fire with the bow and drill method. Well, of course I had to see how that worked, what it was. So here I am. :)

That opening is hilarious: the problem with...matches, is they have moving parts and can fail. So I'll craft a 4-piece machine using 3-4 tools that I brought with me.

After reading "The Mountain between US" it gives me a better idea what he had to do to survive in mountain. We take fire for granted, but when stranded on remote place, fire is your best friend.

It’s a nice video, and let’s be honest, he is telling you how to do it, on a nice dry day, with some very nice dry wood, with some very swish kit, but if anyone has been in a situation where you are roughing it on the bare bones of your arse, then you would know that, 90% of people watching this won’t know what trees are what, especially in winter. In a survival situation you are unlikely to find a knife just kicking about in the woods let alone a sharp one, and we English don’t just lord it about every day with a knife on our belt.
But it is a nice prim and proper video, and does have a place. Like when I was a kid trying to make what I saw on Blue Peter.

in which "survival situation" would I have a big ass axe and knife but no fire?

Now you have to do it all over again with a rock instead of a knife and axe. Any you have to make string from plant fibers or animal tendons.

I did this but it took me all day. When you are pulling the bow back and forth the string tends to climb up the drill until it hits the block you are holding and then it's all over. This was the hardest part for me.

What if you don't have an axe or knife ?

No wonder a Tom Brown Tracker is so reputable

i prefer the videos where they start fire with NOTHING but your hands and what you find on the ground. this is nice as well but assumes a knife.

Ridiculous, While the mechanics are right, This completely ignores the extreme variables involved. By all means please attempt this.
