Fire By Friction: The Wood Bow Fire Drill

By Belize Bruce

Join Belize Bruce and learn from his decades of mentoring primitive skills to thousands of peoples of the proper way to produce Fire by Friction using the Wood Bow Fire Drill.

Of the two dozen or so Fire By Friction methods, the Wood Bow Fire Drill is the most efficient and universal way to produce fire by basically rubbing sticks together. Using this technique, you can even start a fire in a rain storm once you understand it's principles, how to properly make one and the steps involved.

Then, after much experience, you will be able to manufacture a complete kit out in the wilderness or jungles with nothing more that a rock, and still be able to make fire.

As a bonus, this eBook includes the proper way to build a fire, how to make a primitive masonry stove, and some advanced Fire by Friction techniques including the Hand Drill.

This is just one of the many course that Belize Bruce runs either at his Virtual Mountain Wilderness Survival School or one of his Belize Bruce Jungle adventures.
