In a survival situation, knowing how to use your environment is key, and this video demonstrates a water boiling method using only natural materials. See how to use only a knife to craft a natural container from tree bark to boil water over a fire. I'll also cover some survival tips and tricks for making a primitive hand drill friction fire, again with only a knife. If you need to boil water without a pot, these bushcraft techniques could be essential for your survival kit.
