I pray that your back feels better soon my friend.

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience.

You did good making a hand drill fire in under 5 minutes. Cheers David ✌❤

This is cool!

Keep them coming ! Enjoy them!

Good fun. I’m loving these challenges!

5 minute hand drill ember. Something to aspire to. I’ll be happy if I can learn it in 5 weeks. Thanks for another great video.

awesome

That was outstanding David it just goes to show that practice makes perfect well done mate 👍

Oh happy day to you my dear friend. Outstanding job on on that fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 stay safe and warm and God Bless

Fantastic work there David and you wasn’t even out of breath at the end of it. I certainly am haha. To be honest I’ve only got my first ember with the hand drill this week. Great to see a pro at work. Top job pal, Ant 👍

Hello David, great video. I just can’t seem to get a hand drill to work for me. Thank you for demonstrating so many techniques. Keep sharing.

Still fast by any comparison. Have you SEEN Naked and Afraid? There are people on there that have said "Oh I know how to make a hand drill fire so I'll be ok" only to find out they didn't practice enough to get it down to even 20 minutes, much less under 4. You make it look easy

David I've recently tried the fire roll with only the cotton alone with no ashes. I would always get a lot of smoke but still no ember. Why do ashes or rust work so well? I enjoy your channel.

Thanks David ! Did you have sore hands regularly when you first started? I’ve been trying unsuccessfully with a hand drill and feel like my palms are bruised. It definitely takes some endurance and conditioning

Fire on the mountain lightning in the air run into them hills and it's waiting on me there 😅

I live in New Jersey. We have a lot of oak, pine, maybe poplar. I'm not the best at all the different tree identifications. Just what properties should I look for in dead dry wood for making a hand drill. Should it be harder wood like oak or softer wood like pine..

I thought it was a cordless electric hand drill you were going to use.

I wouldn't be surprised to see you make a fire with that blown bulb next. lol

No no, only the drilling without a notch was 1:55 👍

Just a friendly warning: Many years ago while attempting to give up smoking, I developed the habit of chewing on a tooth pick, one day I took a sharp deep breath and it shot to the back of my throat sideways. I resisted the urge to swallow and a forced strong cough shifted it enough so I could eventually get it out. If it had gone further I could have been in real trouble. Seeing you breath in to blow on the ember made me concerned for you. Take care David.🤔
