“Even though you may never find yourself in a survival situation, I firmly believe that learning and practicing these primitive skills are an essential part of connecting with your past, your environment, and everything that it means to be human.” Lovely quote. Cool to see this return to the primitive. Fascinating to think an ancestor figured this out since it’s so improbable and required a great deal of knowledge of one’s natural surroundings to pick the right spindle, hearthboard, etc.

A while back, I took some of my friends, all of whom lived in towns and cities at the time and brought them to a wild valley. We spent hours gathering fire wood for the weekend, and found a nice little sheltered spot for camping. We had a boulder which helped us draft wind to our fire, and we built rocks up and down to adjust as the weekend went on. Eventually we unearthed a rock slab, and used it to cover our fire, and cook raw meat as though the slab were a hot plate. It was an amazing feast and the hot plate lasted three days before in inevitably cracked. P.S. our experiment to cook eggs on a porous rock went about as well as you can imagine, we still ate though.

So the moral of this story isnt bring a lighter (or lots of them), when in fact that couldnt be faryher than the truth. It is always a good idea to be as self sufficient as you can especially should the SHTF, however unlikely or not that is. I bought one of those flint/striker gadgets this way I could start as many fires as I could ever need before such a massive flint wears out. A magnifying glass is useful too in the sense that even though it is only useful if there is sufficient sunlight, there are plenty of examples where a fire could be needed even during daylight hours. Just because the sun is out doesnt mean you wont need a fire for a variety of reasons. If your a smoker, you could light your smoke in seconds, without any fire at all, just heat amplification

I did a wilderness therapy program a while back and in order to make fire we had to use friction like what is shown in the thumbnail which is known as a hand drill. Although the majority of the fires we made were actually done with a bow drill. I was better at hand drill than I was at bow drill so when ever I could I would use a hand drill. The only problem with that was it left my hands heavily blistered.

I don’t why this was recommended to me, but I’m here and I’m intrigued.

I used to be obsessed with this kinda stuff when I was in the Boy Scouts, I’m so happy, most of what I remember is actually accurate down to the making the rope, this is awesome! I hope this guy makes more videos 😁👍👍

absolutely love how informative and direct the information is, very easy to follow and very detailed right down to proper materials. This video is just overall fantastic would love to see more I also liked that even in this instructional video some things still went wrong but he brushed through it and showed you how to correct them just as easily which I find helps make you more prepared for inconveniences you may face and how to quickly requite the situation

The reason why I wanted to see him make a kit is simple he kept saying in a survival situation. In a survival situation you don't have your fire kit you have to go get one. You have to dry it out. There are some tricks to drying wood but ultimately finding that right dead standing not punky tree that is also the right species is as hard as spinning the spindle. Also once you've found it making the board with a primitive edge would also take tons of finesse. He said a cat tail for spindle. Cat tails are in the water. No mention on how to prepare a cat tail just use a cat tail. That's gonna kill someone (ok overly dramatic it probably won't but you get the idea).

@Tiitus Lehtonen You must not know what a fire set is. When you're watching videos like this and you see someone say fire set they're talking about the components of a friction fire (hearth board, spindle, with optional bow, string and bearing block. As far as I'm concerned him bringing a proven pre made fire set into the woods is almost the same as bringing a lighter. He could have just done this in his back yard. Going to the woods was just for added effect.

I've been watching this video for 800 years I hope the fire step starts soon

My survival method in cold weather hunting, is to create a hole about a foot deep, three feet wide, filled with branches of fallen trees(hardwood trees), creating a few shovel loads of hot coals. Place those coals in a bed about six feet long, two feet wide, 10 inches(less than a foot, in extreme cold...below 0), and lightly cover the coals with the soil, and not packing-it-down. Put mattress over the soil bed, sleeping bag(SeaToSummit, makes awesome sleeping bags) on top, climb-in. Oh, the shelter wall/lean-To, would obviously be blocking the wind/cold air direction. Good for a couple hours of heat.

Great content. Wow. Thank you for finding this expert. Best tutorial on fire making I’ve ever seen.

You missed one tool: the fire piston, which was widely used in Southeast Asia. Granted, it's harder to make with just stone tools, but it's still one of the most convenient and fastest ways of starting a fire, short of having match.

I have much more respect for the ancient people now. Fascinating video. Thank you.

I’ve used oak before for a Bow Drill. We found maybe only 3 or 4 when we were hiking the Appalachian Mountains in NC. It’s funny when you look at trees and you can see the hidden value it can have. An Oak Bow just in itself just sounded cool. An for an eleven year old it was the coolest thing I ever made.

What a city man. The potential for the fire to spread, after a four day rain. Health and safety first.

Only thing i would have a hard time with is finding the right wood for spindle and the hearth but anybody would if you are in the forest You would need the luck of the irish but if u in thewoods and are still alive then you must have luck already so finding the materials would be possible. Great Video Thank You‼️

How to start a fire in a survival situation 60000 City Kids: I'm going to need this

Watching this at 2am in the middle of a quarantine... Will try this in the kitchen.

11:21 Thanks for showing that, reality is pretty comedic when it times itself like that.

sounds like you succeeded

12:09 when you are actually making the fire make sure you keep your back leg at a 90 degree angle and lean your back to exert downward pressure for the bow drill string you do what he does at about 17:00 but if you dont have that rawhide you can use things like stinging nettle, tree bark and roots but each has a way to be prepared, best bet is to look on youtube stinging nettle, tree bark and root cordage. if you do stinging nettle it will sting your hands so use something like a sleave and then you can either put the nettle into water or you can put it over flame for a second but water is better if you clearly dont have fire already

Once they have been used for lighting fires and moving the burning tinder around, you do not even feel nettles though your calloused hands any more than using them to put burning paper out or stubbing your cigarettes out. .

I saw someone on the show survivor use a bow drill and I was amazed it’s been years and finally I want to learn some survival skills, nice tutorial, nice vid

Watching the process and creation of the fire was so fun and exciting!

i like how the raw meat just magically appeared in the end.

the ears gave it away ; cool video

Yo I fuckin YELLED out when that first spindle broke. Haven't been so invested in what was going on in a youtube vid for a while. Could you imagine as a tribe of humans the frustration and joy of this experience, the hearts sinking and rising? We would have been dancing and singing by that fire once we got it going. Such pure victory.

I use to be a canoe guide, grew-up hunting and fishing in Minnesota, etc. A few years ago, a well meaning friend gave me one of those spring loaded flint sparkers for a gift, that did not know much about the outdoors. I reached in my pocket and gave him my bic lighter back. I told him, "when you are drenched to the bone, it is below zero, and it is rainy and windy, wood is wet, which one are you going to reach for first"? yea, yea, I can start a fire with all those other techniques, but a bic lighter, well taken care of, is a very nice "luxury" that will last you a very long time. In fact, if I had the choice of one survival tool, it would be a bic lighter. All the rest can be improvised (e.g. knifes, axes, hot tubs, refrigerators, etc). A fast fire, however will save your life while you are trying to figure out everything else.

Great video, very clear instructions. I would however suggest going more in depth with creating your bow string with fibres, since realistically you wouldn't have leather handy.
