If you haven't found NW Primate on YouTube, you should check him out. He has some really creative stuff going in Washington state. This was my experimentation with his side tunnel bow drill method. I used Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) for hearth and spindle, same wood bark for tinder bundle, and tarred bank line on the bow. The entire set was carved with an ax.

Here's NW Primate demoing the method: youtu.be/Klo8TNmuq1E
