A different bow drill.

- This is a different bow drill. I would say it’s a perfect tool to teach the process of primitive friction fire. The traditional bow drill relies on a bow and single cord where this one has two cords allowing for faster more efficient rotations and less down worth pressure. What started out as a review of a product quickly got my attention and surprised me. This bow drill is one of the best tools for teaching beginners, scouts, kids and enthusiasts of primitive fire.
This should not be used to replace the traditional bow drill or a quick fix for bushcraft teachers, the importance of learning about the resources, materials and the process of gathering and processing the materials to make a tool that will aid you in starting a fire is far more important. in my opinion this bow drill is far mor efficient than the traditional one and if I have to take something away from this experience is the use of two cords in the way this bow drill uses.
If you interested in this you can go over to their website and have a look.

Liked your idea about adapting the bow drill for your own usage. Enjoyable video as always. Keep the faith.
Thank you 💪
interesting concept
That's something I so need to work on
Defiantly not a replacement for the traditional bow drill but a awesome tutorial tool. 💪
Awesome. Nice review and video awesome kit to get beginners going thanks for sharing mate might have to try get one myself so I can practice and try
My god I blinked and you had got an ember. Even putting a spindle in your makita isn't cheating its learning. Great product expecially like you said for kids.
Great review Alex, hope you are keeping well and having a great weekend.
Always awesome to hear from you buddy. Yes you right it is a awesome tool for kids. Hope you having a great time and can’t wait to have a camp again 💪
Looks great thank you for your unbiased views. I am with you when you say a lot of bushcraft is about getting the skills rather than buying everything. But as a learning tool this looks good
Bernard Bracken thanks for the comment, yes I’m mostly for learning the skills but sometimes things like this come out and even this taught me something new. The way the cord works is awesome
Nice one Alex, Great review mate, looked effortless. All the best, Joe.
Joe’s Outdoor Adventures thanks Joe 💪

Great bit of kit for the kids to play with and learn a new skill it looked so easy to get a ember forget about the kids i need one 🤣🤣🤣 only kidding nice review Alex mate 👍 👍 atvb Jimmy 😎😎
Lundy's Wildcamp/Bushcraft thanks bud, it surprised me and that’s saying something.
That's like an Egyptian bearing block, they used it as a drill, to put holes into stone.
Although it may have been used in wood to start fires too.
Yes I’m struggling to find it’s origin but have seen it in some old Chinese books illustrated as being used to drill. Thanks I’ll look up the Egyptian bearing block 💪
@@BeeOutdoors unfortunately I can't remember it's proper name
It will be interesting to find it’s origin but I got a hint that you may not be far off. Egyptians were innovating and ahead of many cultures
great review I have yet to make fire with a bow drill i have physical problems and am trying to find someone on you tube to take up a challenge to make a pump drill and film it I have never seen anyone make and use one to start a fire and i think it is a great way I just dont know really how
Sara Skold your challenge is accepted, I shall try my best to do it as best as I can, you might have to wait a little but I will do it. Thank you for the comment, all the best Alex 💪❤️
@@BeeOutdoors thank you Alex hope you and your family are doing well
All good just trying to get a brake organised but everywhere is booked up, kids and the good wife been stuck in far too long and deserve a brake. Hopefully we will find something. Bee safe and all the best 🐝💪
Seen this in ebay for a while but never actually bought it. What material did you put the coal into in order to blow into flame?
Michael Eracleous jute that is provided in the kit
I like your hat :)
Thanks bud I don’t know what I’ll do when it’s time to retire it. It’s my favourite 💪
