Traditional fire making requires some special skills and lots and lots of practice in order to get good at those skills. Using a bow drill is no different. Watch the video below to learn how to make use of this method for your next survival campfire.

This is a method that requires tons of practice in order to get it right, so don't expect it to go well the first time. It's a skill which you should practice before you have to rely on it in a survival situation.

In the best of circumstances, you'll have a lighter, some matches, or a spark rod to rely on if you need a fire, but in the worst of circumstances, you may have to turn to more traditional methods like this. Even then, you'll have to have perfectly dry wood to work with, so plan accordingly.

This is a great lesson for anyone who wants to learn traditional survival skills. For more lessons like this, check out HonestDoubter on YouTube.
