I have long missed these type of detailed educational videos from you, Dave. Thanks for the effort you put into this.
Thank you so much for this video, this is the first one I've seen that really takes me through the whole process. It's a privilege to be able to watch and learn from you.
Those instructions are MILES ahead of anything else I have seen on the bow saw and it’s use. Thanks David!
Great video, Dave. Cant wait for the new book.
Thank god someone finally showed how to do a bow drill fire properly, dave you are a gift that keeps giving . Keep up the good work ! nolan
Hands down the best instructional video on this subject I have ever watched.
I can’t thank you enough for making this video. About an hour ago I made an ember and lit my bird’s nest! Now it’s time to start practicing with other species.
Absolutely the best bow drill fire video I have ever seen! Thank you 👍

As always , a very informative video with proper instruction and the right details included for success. I've never ceased learning from you. Many thanks and keep em' coming , Dave !
You make it look too damn easy! The way I was taught was so polar opposite of your technique! I cannot wait to try you style. Keep doing what you do Dave!
Great demonstration Dave! Have you ever tried using fatwood for your bearing block? If not, you're going to love it. The heat brings out the sap and makes it self-lubricating and almost as friction free as a rotating block.

Excellent as always. Thanks for sharing.
One of the best, If not the best, tutorials on how to achieve a fire from a bow drill that I have ever seen. Very well articulated and top notch visual representations. My hat's off to you Dave.
Wow Dave. I am floored. This is the type of instruction that truly teaches. No ember left behind.
Probably the best description of the bow drill I have ever seen, very clear instruction, now I know what to do when I construct my new kit. Thanks Dave I appreciate you sharing this. Keith
Man I have been trying to do a bow drill for a couple weeks now and this helped me so much. Thanks buddy
By far the best bow drill fire video I've ever seen. Thanks Dave! Not only are you a master woodsman, you are a GREAT teacher as well. Amazing. Thanks again!
...the single best instructional video on the bow drill method that I have ever seen. Thanks much Dave, and I will certainly be sharing this with the Boy Scouts of our Troop, and as many others as possible. Great video. Thanks again...
I thought I had it memorized perfectly, but I did not know about the chamfer underneath or placing the piece of bark underneath to hold the ember. It seems rewatching some of these videos is not a bad idea. Your channel and one carving channel are the only channels where I will go back and rewatch videos like this. I always pick up something I missed before. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
You do a great job with the teaching / instructional videos Dave. As always, thank you!
I've been teaching bow-drill since 1992, this is the best filmed demonstration/ instruction of bow-drill that I've seen yet. I don't do things exactly the way you do but everything your doing makes as much sense as how I do it. Thanks for emphasizing not hurrying with the ember, so many people lose embers that way. One other bearing block idea is an ankle bone from an elk (or cow) By the way AXE ON JUNKIE
This is the best bow drill instructional video I have watched yet. Awesome job Dave, and I thank you. The whole shebang, from start to finish, and you explained each step in clear detail. I can't wait to get out and try it now. You really are a food teacher. Thanks again.
Been following your vids for years and you’re still teaching me something new!
Dave I gotta say that's the best instructional video I've seen on using the bow drill. I've see a bunch of them but this one brought out and added things the others left out. Hats off to ya pal. I saved this one cause I'll need it later for sure. God Bless.
Outstanding. Thanks Dave. This is the best instructional on using a bow drill I've seen. And I've seen a LOT of them.
You're a great teacher Dave. As always, thank you.
This is the best bow drill video I have ever saw.
Dave, can't wait for your book! You're the man!
Dave, thank you so much for all you do! You're my greatest mentor!
Thank you for such a comprehensive bow drill lesson. You made it easy to follow and understand. Very much appreciate your videos. I look forward to the release of your newest book.
One of your most informative videos for a while. Very good information that clarifies a lot of nuances about the bow drill.
Thank you Dave that was very thorough, Can’t wait for the book to come out!
By far the best training I've seen on the subject. Your teaching style takes me back to my military days. Excellent. If I had the time and money I'd bring my son to your school. He's only 5... Godwilling, it's possible. Thank you for your services. God bless!
Awsome video Dave! Thank you for the detailed refresher on this misunderstood topic. Thanks for the work you put into these
Dave thank you for all that great information you gave to us. I am practicing in bushcraft and you are my favorite teacher.
Thank you, Dave, for posting such a great video! It is one of the most detailed, helpful and educational videos regarding the bow-drill. Thanks for all you do.
Great instructional video Dave! Much appreciated! The best video ever on how to do a bow drill.
Dave you are the man. You put so much time and effort in helping people with your videos. I want to thank you for everything you do. Keep up the great job you do. I'll be watching you from Florida.
Love these videos!!! great work Dave. Taking my Scouts out in a few weeks to demo this technique...will be watching this 100 more times...thanks
BEST video I've seen yet on using Bowdrill for primitive fire!!!
As always I always find time to watch your videos, very educational. Thank you Dave 👌🇬🇧
Thank you for the great video as someone just getting into bushcraft and spending time in the outdoors I can't wait to try this
Thanks Dave for explaining all the technical aspects of doing this. I have failed at this many times. I think the next time I try this I will pay more attention to the small details you mentioned and I bet I will be successful. Thanks again for the awesome content. God Bless.
You truly are a master of your craft! Great video Dave thank you!
This is a really great video. Very detailed. You walked us novices through the entire process. I have seen lots of times it was used, and thought I understood it. I didn't, but now I do. Thanks!
That was a great video Dave, thank you!
Not that you need to be told, but very clear & concise instructions Dave. Great job, enjoyed the vid.
Hey Dave, Thanks for another great video. My bow drill set consists of a cedar plank about 3/4” x 1 1/2” x 8”, a cedar spinal about 3/4” x 8” with a string grove notch about 2” from the top, an oyster shell for a baring block, and a willow branch about 18” with notches and a paracord bow string. I keep it in a tube I hollowed out from 3” diameter Bamboo and sealed with beeswax and with a carved friction cap and paracord sling. I padded both the cap and the bottom of the tube with cedar bark that I shredded and pressed Into place. This padding also insures I always have extra dry tender on hand. There is enough room in the tube to carry the tender I collected on my last outing and dried in my dehydrator at home. I find that the humidity of NW Florida it is difficult to keep tender “spark” dry with natural materials but it can be done.
Best bow drill video I've seen. Thank you brother!
Perfect. Just what I needed. Thanks Dave!
Great video most instructors teach rushing through I like your approach of taking your time to do it right. Thanks Dave.
Watching you make a fire is like magic every time. From stuff sitting in the woods to flame with very little effort shown.
Great video Dave !! Thanks so much .. that was the best demonstration ever showed !!
Dave great video I would love to see more videos like this in-depth on how to do things great work thank you. I will have to go out and get stuff to try this on my own
Great video. Although I would’ve liked to see you use that “hardwood hand hold” that you made. Thanks for putting this step by step video together, I did enjoy it.
really helpful and informative! thanks, Dave.
Awesome video Dave. Excited for the new book. I need something else to read.
It's crazy how much wisdom and knowledge you can fit in a brain. I love learning more than anything. Memory power
Thanks for the knowledge, and taking time to share. Dave brother you make it look so simple, you are truly talented! God bless
Great educational video! I can't wait to get out into the woods and try it! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world!

Thanks Dave! I really learned a lot from this video. I appreciate you doing this
Great video !
Great video Dave. I this will help me a lot. I've been trying to get the bow drill set down but have had little success. I saw a couple things I've been doing wrong. Mainly not staring off slow to built up a base for a ember to drop on to. I now look forward to trying it again.
Good Morning Dave, thanks for a very informative video on the Bow Drill. I am looking forward to your buschcraft book.

Thank you for the in-depth video. Reminds me of your old videos.. Any chance of you ever going all the way back to your first videos and update all the videos where you are making things? everything from your flintknapping and bundle bows up to your more recent springpole lathe. Maybe even one built in the field, with your self reliance tools only.. It would be a dream come true.. Again, thank you.
Thanks for this video!
