Starting a Fire with a Bow Drill

Master the bow drill — the most reliable friction fire method. The bow multiplies speed and reduces fatigue. Fire provides warmth, water purification, cooking, and protection.
Intermedio
30-45 minutes

Instrucciones

1

Select Wood

Fireboard & spindle: dry, dead softwood (willow, cottonwood, cedar). Should dent with your thumbnail. Spindle: 2cm diameter, 30cm long. Both must be bone dry.

Burn In & Cut Notch

Bow the spindle slowly to burn a round socket. Then cut a V-notch into the socket — 1/8 of the circle. Place bark underneath to catch the ember.
4

Create the Ember

Long steady strokes, firm pressure. When thick smoke pours from the notch, 10-15 more fast strokes. Lift spindle carefully — glowing coal in the notch.
5

Ignite Tinder Bundle

Tip coal into a nest of dry grass/bark shavings. Fold loosely, blow gently with steady breaths until it bursts into flame. Transfer to fire lay.
