Emergency Fire Starting Tips (Part III)
The Hand Drill
The next portion of my emergency fire starting tips is another form of primitive friction fire, known as the hand drill. As this is much easier seen than read, I have provided you all with another instructional video, courtesy of Nick Spadaro and the Maine Primitive Skills School in Augusta, Maine. I think it's quite helpful, so I hope you all enjoy!

Emergency Fire Starting Tips (Part II)
The Bow Drill
To continue my instructional pieces on emergency fire starting, I decided to cover primitive forms of friction fire. Unfortunately, these are rather difficult to explain in a short, concise paragraph, making it hard for me to publish easy-to-understand instructions, while keeping the length of the post down to an acceptable size. Luckily, an acquaintance of mine, Nick Spadaro, has a few great detailed videos that will cover these topics. I am currently a member of his Primitive Skills club at Unity College, and he is also an instructor at the Maine Primitive Skills School in Augusta, Maine. These videos are shown courtesy of Nick Spadaro and the Maine Primitive Skills School. To start off with this series of instructional videos, I have chosen the bow drill, which Nick had also taught me first hand. I hope you enjoy!
