  • In this video we start a fire using the Bamboo Fire Saw Friction Fire Method. This is a great bushcraft survival skill to know how to do. This is part of a fire making series I am doing which includes videos on: Friction fire - Bow Drill Fire, Fire Plow, Fire Thong, Fire Piston, and more.

    That's very easy.
    Where the bamboo fiber burns with the pressure that is supported by the weight of the body.
    And the hot dust of loose friction will accelerate the occurrence of coals.

    Short strokes are important to keep the heat from the friction you just made. If you go the entire length of the bamboo stick you’re only utilizing the friction heat from the piece in your hand
