Video Transcription
hello people and welcome to another video so in this video I'm going to be attempting to do a one sick fire with a bow drill so it's going to be a wants to acquire a bow drill challenge okay so as you can see it's very wet everything is soldered and I'm going to collect some ferns and a tinder bundle got my dog picture hopefully it's going to draw off somewhat although it's getting very difficult to blow to explain because of the moisture and everything look watch the underneath is there we have enjoyed or draw oh haha players babbler little less conversation my wife's ranbir more aggravation is satisfaction in d4 let's drive a little mouth off something Beliveau bird over there very fresh bamboo bamboo okay so I've got myself a billet of oak it's gonna be tough so I'm Donna how else is gonna work we're gonna give it a go I'm gonna attempt to split it with my knife about don't Lee forgetting it all the way through so i'm not going to punish myself for it if you won't work i'm just gonna get the axis pretty but we're going to go with a nose first see if we can do it all with the knife so
we have already got fired over here by the way this is just the challenge so I've got a boat just about got enough room to kind of but on that but I don't know he's getting all the way through cuz it out pretty dense will give the go non you're going to blood you've done it nice and it's nice and dries it's not too no other words he's going to be a little bit damp ok so I've got four pieces I'm going to leave 2pcs that big I'm going to split this one down and once I might not into feather sticks I only use you the piece especially on a couple of times I've got some sticks that's the plan anyone so I outside you with
it's been a warrant relaxing during a copper will scruffty challenges so actually good really thin pieces so when I actually do the when I get that initial flavor from the bow drill the you should catch really nice tree okay so I've got my last quarter here I can I want to split this day into thirds so I can get three decent feather sticks out of it because we're only going to have a small tuned up a little thing to moidle gets one foot rubbing it running a small tinder bundle to lock these feather stick so it then more for the system get the better it's going to the more success right we're going to have there we go run now and the mantra truth whether I can still do feather sticks on them my muscle but my VIP neobux there at our unique Sura cannot stand up for this year c4 cornelisz let's get me into this
this is where the air see where the pressure kicks in my cameras on one shot opportunity I have an intensity stopping the North also that's not it no tags still going still going the feathers on their third zongker little so I'm not in default they've been broken off yet and we still not finished we're still going as you can probably see we're in a very serious rain storm right now I've got one other thing good another one on its way so now at one more to do and will be our way okay so all the fuel and wood is prepared we've got the two the two forces which one will uses the baseboard I've got the two quarters worth kindling Sandspit there an outside the one quarter looking going to strip down and the other one Porter a feather sticks so let me just clear a space it's not going to be a permanent fire because they've already got the permanent fire behind us look practice what you preach what I'm going to attempt to do is wear them a close bf2 of the to the pieces of Kimberly and then I'm going to do the ball drop way through the bow draw and what are put into a tinder bundle blow it into flame place it on there and then put the feather seats on top okay so I'm ready to do the bow drill I've got my tinder bundle here this is the firm we collected earlier and there's a bit of tomato juice on one of the trees on the way down pop that in there this is all very dump and trying to put this much of the moisture and part of it at the back and get the dry stuff on top what the problem is it's all found blowing apart so I'm just going to fold up together and they're here to show toilet we've got the three feather sticks there's some decent fella sticks possibly the best statistics of Ecuador and what their King doing under here we've got the rest in the shape is it fell off so that'll help and the bow drill kit is over here to my left I'm sorry what a feeling I'm going to do it and then I'm gonna get the M by to borrow why because the wind is horrendous let's do this no it's an easy 30 that's what I've got my have a got one or not nope okay well see that was skinny quite a bit I'm gonna leave that there so then when it ember forth onto that it'll it'll make it a bigger end okay we're ready to try again I'm just kind of really just the spindle a little bit and put some more tension in the string the thing we lost tension in the bowl string so we started to slip and we were losing friction so think I'm ready to give it another crack whoa strawberries I've got one but I can't move it god this wind really just picked up here we go anything it let's go on and where it's going ok ok fair Troy poor mobile no energy oh so much a little lofty wraps in the gym yeah very your bench press get up your apps tonight oh so can promise in okay how you feeling bud goodbye pretty December
I got that now I'm choking you got this little upload your open up oh my god skema might help me I'm hoping Vince light and everything oh my god looks like success hey Dave drill oh this is there this is easier than this month where hey I near me what would you advise me to anyone wanting to try bow drill in the wet British weather don't do it this shit will put the kindling on my way okay so that's it for this video we managed to do it just about it wasn't easy I'll be honest and when I was pretty rush to divulge your lavender prop in a long time see ya it was a struggle but yeah I'm glad we did it is a pretty proud of that and my father's secret on point on I'm really quite believe that my friend stick so we're decent so we're yeah until next time hope you enjoy the video I'll see you again very very soon hello game people so I hope you enjoyed that video the one stick fire was something I've been wanting to do for a long time but I just decided to throw in the bow drill just to make it a little bit more difficult and my god it was definitely difficult he definitely took everything I have in terms of skill to make that happen and I'm definitely glad I kept trying until I was successful because it does feel them really like I've accomplished something in this video I don't know whether you noticed but I'm actually using my new ensure Mike but I actually did something a little bit different and i overlaid that audio on top of the original audio so you still can't get that weather experience in the background just to show it was a proper rainstorm so let me know what you think about that i actually get worked really well i like that but yeah so we've got a new mic now so the audio is gonna be better for that kind of video and we're going forward hiking the things that don't think i'm going to use it's just more technology that can go wrong so we'll stick to the camera for that anyway so if you'd like to see some more bold rule from me check out the video on screen this was roughly about 12 months ago now when me and Paul Brooks I love the fellow youtuber in the lot in my local area went out for the day and I just did a little bit of bow drill practice in perfect drug conditions and it was a total success but yeah that video is there a little more bold rob but other than that I hope you enjoyed the video thanks for watching and I'll see you again very very soon you
