Thread: Friction fire with one hand !

  1. #1

    Default Friction fire with one hand !

    Hi folks,

    I got injured lately and could'nt use my left hand. As i'm addicted, i just cannot hold myself from making bow drill fire. In the video I still have to use my left hand. In the last day i've developed new method, with these my left hand is completely free !!

    Great video. I guess you would use a log to rest the bearing block on rather than your hand if needed?
    Also funny to watch your bad hand keep trying to help whilst making the kit. Looks nasty.

    I was in a similar situation.
    I made a pump drill to solve the problem.
    Surprisingly effective.
    If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.

    Hehe thanks a lot for the cmment, yes indeed the left hand does'nt like to be left apart

    I never really tried the pump drill, it just seem's to be a lot of preparation for nothing, I could be wrong.
