    Very impressive. I knew how to prepare the necessary tools, but I did not know the floating hand technique. This will help indeed. Thank you for sharing.
  • As ever, thank you very much for the lesson. You're teaching emphasis is terrific.
  • Nice. These materials are prevalent in the Mojave desert, where I used to live, so it made the lesson more fun.
  • I never had any kind of sccess with this way of fire starting, ever!! But the floating hand technique has given me hope that ill conquer it now.... eventually πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€ thank you Shawn.
  • thank you very much Corporal. I've been wondering how to do this for a very long time. Excellent tutorial. Outstanding AF as always

    This is an awesome video and I plan on trying a hand drill fire soon. I have a long thin mullein stalk that I've been saving for this. Thanks for the instructions.

    Good video chief. Interesting notch shape, not seen the square notch used before, will try that.

    Miss it like the rest of us? Semper Fi Marine! Enjoy your videos.
  • Try using a string over the top of the spindle. It keeps hand at a good height and steady. Allows you to focus on rotation instead of hand placement

    I tried this method once. Just once. I definitely did it the wrong way and hurt my hands bad enough I could do any real work with them for the rest of the day. This looks a LOT better. My question is since I live in the Northeastern US do you know of any materials that could be suitable for this method?
