 Wow that guy is good.  Thank for sharing.  Here are a few pics of Tony's first time with a bow drill  last year at our rendezvous.  He was so thrilled that he did it that he forgot how hot fire really is :D

I don't start fires this way......probably too old to start.   Is there any such thing as a bit of tree rosin, say pine or spruce, in the friction hole?  would that help or hurt the process?   piper

Piper- resin is a big hindrince. That's why pine branches and trunk stink for friction fires.

Yep! Just what I was thinking Paul.  ;D

I think I like Pappy's method the best though! Is there a video of that on the site here somewhere?

the youtube guy got the coal in like... EIGHT seconds. Can anyone beat that? Let's say we start with the set at 70 degrees and 50% humidity...
i have never timed myself, but i bet i can get one in under 20 sec. I will try it and get back to y'all.
