Revealing the Secrets of the Hand Drill FRICTION FIRE!

Nothing says primitive skills quite like a hand drill friction fire. There's just something about the process of making a hand spun fire that conjures up images of primitive man. Once you understand friction fire techniques, it's not all that hard but the process can seem mysterious for those new to primitive survival skills and bushcraft. This video is kind of a hand drill friction fire 101 so to speak. I'll cover material selection for the spindle and fire board, tinder, kindling, etc. I'm using yucca and birch bark in this video. Then we'll get into the nitty gritty of spinning up a coal by hand and growing that coal into flame. Don't forget to subscribe to the channel.
