I noticed you used the end of a fairly long piece of timber to make the bed of the plough, meaning that it would not need to be kept still whilst applying the plough. How do you get the coal from the bed to the tinder bundle? I was also surprised at how the ember (coal) increased dramatically in size once you had stopped applying friction. Maybe a lot of potential embers go unnoticed? This is the first time (newbie) that I've seen the "ember chamber" discussed. Good work!

kzread.info/dash/bejne/o52cu5qmoJrHkZM.html This shows how the fire plow is used traditionally in Samoa to create a fire, which includes how the fire board is used to transfer the coal and that its only big enough to sit on. What isn't explained is that the wood of choice is hibiscus and both the plow and board are made of the same species of wood. I am not exactly sure what the properties of hibiscus wood exactly is, but from what I see growing in my area, its is a soft, non-resinous wood that powders extremely well when friction is applied, as well as the wood itself feels like it grips onto the plow when I press against it. I suppose if you can find wood with these properties where you live, then it might work but I'm not an expert so I can't suggest any other wood species from other parts of the world.

Hey there! Enjoyed your video. Good points overall and nice demo. I have to , politely disagree on one key point; 'Type of wood does not matter, only the condition." Condition IS a key; , but in my , not too little experience and by the experience of every single tribal tradition I ever heard of, which is, well 'a few' ( speaking as an Inuit returning replete from hunt might speak) , type of wood IS important. All tribal traditions I know of, that is people doing it for life/need, not just as a hobby which is what most modern people do it for, have favourite woods. For a good reason, not just a hobby or YOuTube comparison. For a reason, as I just said, I can assure you.Please don't let this point be a 'shadow', I genuinely meant my appreciation of the major part of the video, technique, description and vid production-nice sounds! I specifically ensured I complemented first. And I congratulate upon all that immensely. Well done! Funnily enough, I saw one other fire plough technique video where a similar thing was said. Well, the only options are, you two guys are 'exceptions' to the rule. Hundreds of thousands of years, millions of people, everyone else disagrees, but you know different. I simply say that for most people "condition of wood is obviously critical, finding a suitable TYPE of wood, i.e.species is, for nearly every normal human being also critical." By which some woods tend to extreme ease-with any given technique: some woods, tend to O.K.ish: some woods tend to extreme difficulty, some may be impossible perhaps unless your on steroids or something' I don't know...so, for sure, with exceptional technique and being super fit and full of energy at the time of the attempt, should you be so lucky to be in that situation, a wide variety of woods WILL work, some, quite a few infact, will be impossible for most people most of the time...but why put yourself through exceptional exertion when a little knowledge and searching of condition AND TYPE will make one's life far more efficient; 'Most food, least work.' If this weren't true why does all tribal lore I ever heard of, suggest certain woods when these people really needed this fire thing. It wasn't said to be fancy, I can assure you. Hunger, need, warmth, protection, comfort, survival. Anyway, like I said, forgive me disagreeing on one point, a critical point albeit, but leaving that aside. You obviously have a great deal of wonderful and very real knowledge and, hats off to you for a really quite superb video demonstration. You may well disagree but I care about this subject so I wanted today what I understand is true. Forgive me, disagreeing. And I wish you well and a great 2018. P.S. This comment was made on my Mom's computer I realise! I mean, don't reply 'Pat Barker' as she won't know what the heck your talking about! And lastly, I know from experience no video is perfect. I made quite a few, and looking back I see many glaring mistakes. Damn, I wish to change them, but lack of money, to but extra space tenable re-editing and stuff means that I know I've got video's myself with glaring error in, but there they are! I'm on 'apachewolfscout.' My vids main problem, too repetitive, too long and some other glaring faults too. Like I said I'd love to make ammends but can't at present! Good day!

Thank you apachewolfscout! I actually know who you are and watched your fire plow video many years ago and was impressed by how you were able to capture your genuine emotions of surprise and happiness of one of your first coals. What I said was " the type of wood does not matter, only the condition, of course you can make things easier on yourself." Perhaps a bit of a over statement in the moment yes, but what I meant was any wood will work, some being next to impossible but as long as the condition is right you still have a chance with good technique. I make things easier on myself by choosing the type of wood that has worked best for me and the point I was trying to make was don't get caught up in the bullcrap of conifers won't work well or that you need a hardwood spindle on a softwood board etc. Anyways thanks for your comment apachewolfscout hope you get this message.

It could be a couple of different things, first make sure the condition of the wood is good, preferably use a dry dead standing tree. make sure you are using an adequate amount of pressure when ploughing and Try a kneeling position. Also, the plough and board should be from the same tree so the density of the wood will be around the same. Hope this helps and good luck!

Yes, exactly at first concentrate on using the sum of your upper body, until you get a good buildup of dust, heat and smoke and then you can start using your arms more when the need for speed and pressure are critical to form the coal. If you use your arms too much in the beginning you will always tire out and lose the precision, pressure and speed it takes to be successful.

I am not exactly sure what the properties of hibiscus wood exactly is, but from what I see growing in my area, its is a soft, non-resinous wood that powders extremely well when friction is applied, as well as the wood itself feels like it grips onto the plow when I press against it. I suppose if you can find wood with these properties where you live, then it might work but I'm not an expert so I can't suggest any other wood species from other parts of the world.

@@Simlatio yes. it seems soft and dry. bamboo is another wood that is commonly used to make friction fires. i saw one technique that worked in a very short time, like idk 10 or 20 seconds. iirc, they were using a sawing or other type method that gave the rubbing material a lot of speed.
Thank you well done
Very good.

Hey there! Enjoyed your video. Good points overall and nice demo. I have to , politely disagree on one key point; 'Type of wood does not matter, only the condition." Condition IS a key; , but in my , not too little experience and by the experience of every single tribal tradition I ever heard of, which is, well 'a few' ( speaking as an Inuit returning replete from hunt might speak) , type of wood IS important. All tribal traditions I know of, that is people doing it for life/need, not just as a hobby which is what most modern people do it for, have favourite woods. For a good reason, not just a hobby or YOuTube comparison. For a reason, as I just said, I can assure you.Please don't let this point be a 'shadow', I genuinely meant my appreciation of the major part of the video, technique, description and vid production-nice sounds! I specifically ensured I complemented first. And I congratulate upon all that immensely. Well done! Funnily enough, I saw one other fire plough technique video where a similar thing was said. Well, the only options are, you two guys are 'exceptions' to the rule. Hundreds of thousands of years, millions of people, everyone else disagrees, but you know different. I simply say that for most people "condition of wood is obviously critical, finding a suitable TYPE of wood, i.e.species is, for nearly every normal human being also critical." By which some woods tend to extreme ease-with any given technique: some woods, tend to O.K.ish: some woods tend to extreme difficulty, some may be impossible perhaps unless your on steroids or something' I don't know...so, for sure, with exceptional technique and being super fit and full of energy at the time of the attempt, should you be so lucky to be in that situation, a wide variety of woods WILL work, some, quite a few infact, will be impossible for most people most of the time...but why put yourself through exceptional exertion when a little knowledge and searching of condition AND TYPE will make one's life far more efficient; 'Most food, least work.' If this weren't true why does all tribal lore I ever heard of, suggest certain woods when these people really needed this fire thing. It wasn't said to be fancy, I can assure you. Hunger, need, warmth, protection, comfort, survival. Anyway, like I said, forgive me disagreeing on one point, a critical point albeit, but leaving that aside. You obviously have a great deal of wonderful and very real knowledge and, hats off to you for a really quite superb video demonstration. You may well disagree but I care about this subject so I wanted today what I understand is true. Forgive me, disagreeing. And I wish you well and a great 2018. P.S. This comment was made on my Mom's computer I realise! I mean, don't reply 'Pat Barker' as she won't know what the heck your talking about! And lastly, I know from experience no video is perfect. I made quite a few, and looking back I see many glaring mistakes. Damn, I wish to change them, but lack of money, to but extra space tenable re-editing and stuff means that I know I've got video's myself with glaring error in, but there they are! I'm on 'apachewolfscout.' My vids main problem, too repetitive, too long and some other glaring faults too. Like I said I'd love to make ammends but can't at present! Good day!

Thank you apachewolfscout! I actually know who you are and watched your fire plow video many years ago and was impressed by how you were able to capture your genuine emotions of surprise and happiness of one of your first coals. What I said was " the type of wood does not matter, only the condition, of course you can make things easier on yourself." Perhaps a bit of a over statement in the moment yes, but what I meant was any wood will work, some being next to impossible but as long as the condition is right you still have a chance with good technique. I make things easier on myself by choosing the type of wood that has worked best for me and the point I was trying to make was don't get caught up in the bullcrap of conifers won't work well or that you need a hardwood spindle on a softwood board etc. Anyways thanks for your comment apachewolfscout hope you get this message.

@@swenetteee exactly the point with hardwood on softwood for bowdrill or handdrill limitet me at the start. after i tested some stuff out years after, i realist that you can make fire with allmost everything. hardwood on hardwood, softwood on softwood, softwood on hardwood or even with slightly moist wood. i was rly angry at the ppl who write this stuff like its an absolute, the right technic for the materials you have is far more importend than everything else. sure you can make your life easier with soft bonedry materials but its not necessary to succeed. i mean you could be in a situation in whitch you dont have a choice but to use only hard or moist wood, without the right technics and experience in using them you might be in trouble.
Obviously this guy learn this method from Samoans this is how Samoans light their fire for over 3000 years but much faster then this dude

It could be a couple of different things, first make sure the condition of the wood is good, preferably use a dry dead standing tree. make sure you are using an adequate amount of pressure when ploughing and Try a kneeling position. Also, the plough and board should be from the same tree so the density of the wood will be around the same. Hope this helps and good luck!

Yes, exactly at first concentrate on using the sum of your upper body, until you get a good buildup of dust, heat and smoke and then you can start using your arms more when the need for speed and pressure are critical to form the coal. If you use your arms too much in the beginning you will always tire out and lose the precision, pressure and speed it takes to be successful.

Jesus died on the cross for our sins what is sin killing stealing committed adultery and doing bad things that does not make Jesus Pleasant it's like saying when you do something good you feel happy but when you do something wrong you feel bad yes Jesus Christ do exist believe it or not he's the beginning and he is the end some people wants to believe in the devil when something bad happens they say that the devil did it. And I don't understand the person that said they don't believe in Jesus be the main ones that want to go to heaven and it does not work like that Heaven is a place there's no sin there's love peace and joy forever who on this Earth would not want to be happy Living With Jesus everybody wants to be happy my brother and sister find Jesus and repent he will show you who he is may the Lord Jesus Christ bless you ❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.
