When it come to bushcraft and survival, there are few skills as intriguing as making fire with simple tools, in this case, nothing but a knife. In this video I'll show you the finer points of using a bow drill to make friction fire. The old adage of "rubbing two sticks together" isn't far off! I'll make a complete friction fire kit using just a knife and my boot lace. For this kit I'm using elderberry for the fireboard, aka hearth board, and the spindle. I also collect fatwood, process the tinder bundle, and give you some important details for the friction fire making process. This is just another one of those survival skills that's fun to learn. Now get in the woods and practice those survival skills!
