Thanks for taking the time to make this. I’m a 50ish year old woman teaching myself these skills!! Amazing how much you can learn from these videos

Corporal, that's not lazy... that's efficient! More importantly, it's effective! That was outstanding!

I had a great boss that took me out in the field a month after my training and told me "You learned by the book -now I teach you "Lazy Man's Way", which turned out to be common-sense, real-world application - using fundamentals but relying less on details that weren't all that necessary. It served me well. Aesthetics don't keep you warm at night in the bush. This was an excellent presentation and just makes sense -a real concept! Thanks again for all that you do.

The reality of survival is that it bursts out of the shadows at you when you least expect it. You wouldn’t be expecting it, it’ll come out of no where. So what will you have with you at all times? Every day, all day? That’s realistically what you will have when/if some emergency pops up and you need to survive. Corporal Kelly is teaching SKILLS. Skills will always be with you.

You mentioned those fancy kits, and I wanted to share a tip. I make my bow drills in the field for the reasons you give. But the top of the spindle is the critical part, so all the friction is carried down to the fireboard. I have a small chunk of hardwood formed to my hand that I have press fit a bearing into to use as a handblock. Hit the thrift store and get a cheap pair of roller blades. Those wheel bearings are perfect for it. Or go to the hardware store and just get a single 1/4" bearing. It's a can't miss, and you can wear it on a lanyard around the neck even, like a pendant.

Teaching my 9yr old son bush craft/outdoor skills at the moment This is one we can learn together Many thanks...

Going back through the catalog to watch older vids we (m' lady and I) haven't seen before. Great stuff, Sir. Cheers

completely agree with what you were saying at the beginning. Good show, man.

Excellent video! This is a method we all need to know & practice just in case we’re stuck without fire starters. Thank you for posting!

To call this bow drill design "Lazy Man" is such an understatement, because the ingenuity in keeping things simple and effective are not easy. This is by far, the best bow drill design I have seen! What an incredible design! Thanks, Corporal!

Bow drill fire on a humid MS evening...check. My bride and I got it done with some willow. Yellow poplar is on the acquisition list. Thanks for the practical guidance, Corporal.

I watch your videos for entertainment but someday I may need what you have demonstrated. Thanks for uploading!

Outstanding AF demo Kelly. Literally in a few seconds you had embers. I've never seen a spark evolve this quickly in any other demos I've seen. Thank you sir.

Very good ideas. I think "lazy" is the right way to go in survival situations. Conserve time, energy and calories . They are very valuable resources ! Thank you very much

Thank you for a well presented, informative and entertaining video. You really hit the button (once again). Best wishes from across the pond. Nigel

I agree 100% with your philosophy of survival and preparing for survival... practice makes better, not perfect! - Outstanding video CPL Kelly!

“You are messed up!” That was so true. Our instructors differentiate between true survival and hobby survival and bushcraft. Keep it real!

Another great video! Please ask your viewers, when drilling the hole for the top spindle hole, to please place the handle on the ground or on a rock or log the way you did when you cut the hole in the fire board. Having punched a hole through my own hand once in a similar situation, I can vouch that it is unpleasant. In a situation like you describe, it can be dangerous, and with infection, deadly. No criticism here brother, just something I saw.

Fantastic. Reminds me of my days in Boy Scouts. Never had to do it in the Army, but we weren't as tough as you Marines...
