Yep. One of the best investments you'll ever make is get get yourself a rear lower leg bone from a whitetail deer. Very square cross section that makes it a dream to use as a joint between the permanent end... and the working bit. Plus, the durability of the "socket" allows you to quickly swap from fire making to drilling to whatever. Just change out the bit for something else. When it comes to fire, you can always find a 3" section of your preferred wood that's straight enough. Throw in a hardwood shaft with a bone socket, and you'll catch the eye of all the cave girls!

I can't believe I didn't think of this before. I've only been successful a few times with friction, but I'm definitely going to practice this summer.

Awsome idea!! I always thought about combine handrill material somehow with the bowdrill technic. This video gave me the solution! Thanks! I never had such a quick fire running! I used mullein with bowdrill!!! Is a huge gamechanger!! Combining both advantages from each other. Now, I wonder, why didn’t I found out by my self!! So easy, so powerfull and never having blisters again 😂

This exact method is used in africa aswell. I recently saw a video of donny dust's paleo tracks where he was in kenya and the local guide used the same style of compound spindle. Great video and very informative.

Hey that’s crazy. I just now watched it. We’ve been looking for videos like that which show this technique for years. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, always enjoy and learn from your vids! Funny, but Donny Dust just posted a vid of bushman, and they used this technique! I have been using japanese honeysuckle, with horseweed, goldenrod and others. Have a great day, Steve

@azaba2007 5 ай бұрын

Awesome. I always wondered how people solved the problem. I solved it by cutting a bevel both on the shaft and the drill bit at the same angle and then tied them together. I wonder which method is better. I would send a picture but comments on youtube does not seem to allow that.

@wildernessstrong6131 5 ай бұрын

You could send pic to wildernessstrong@gmail.com Would love to see it.

Nice video! NW Primate made a video similar to it but didn’t split the shaft. I tried it but failed because it wasn’t split like how you did it and just wrapped to the side like the video. I’ll definitely try this method soon once it warms up.

Do you ever find longer pieces of Fat wood like 3 ft or so?

@wildernessstrong6131 4 ай бұрын

Yes, where we live that is very common because we are targeting the rotten Doug fir stumps which are often gold mines for Fatwood. The long pieces are very valuable for torches and also as spear prongs as we discovered for spearfishing.

@@wildernessstrong6131 any chance of being able to purchase a piece say 36 inches long by 2 inches in diameter???
