It’s been said often. Life will not be easy once the grid goes down so the more we learn now the better off we will be when that time comes. That means you should learn and apply as many skills as possible while you're bugging out. Watch our practiced prepper here create fire as the ancients did!
When the grid goes down this man will obviously stay warm during the winter months. He knows his stuff, has made improvements, and we like that he even gives tips on creating such a device for the not so physically adept and children.
When the SHTF we are all going to have to do our part and fire-building will no doubt not just be important but vital to our new way of life!

I’d seen these in books and finally bought one at an Ocala gift shop for 8 bucks. The flywheel is a stick but I’ve been meaning to make my own and try to make fire.
in these modern times it’s highly unlikely that we wouldn’t have a lighter or matches. but just exactly how do you drill holes in the parts if you don’t have something to drill with?
heat a rod and burn thru
rod as in metal rod? ok so where would one conveniently be located?
I know what you mean. I had the same question. Meanwhile when someone is trying to make a hole through a rock for a counterweight, I will have a fire started off rubbing two sticks ! Lol! Notice how all the dingbat trolls rush in talking about how to make something to make something to make a fire!
will definitly have to say effortlessly is a bit of an exacceration…. any friction fire takes PRACTICE!!!
I went back and re watched the video, he used sandstone which is easy to make a hole in… but if you don’t have sandstone this would be pointless.
