Fire Survival Skills

One of our favorite skills that never ceases to teach is fire by friction. Making a bow drill fire kit is a great way to begin learning how to make fire from the landscape. To be successful with fire though, you will want to do some additional prep work. To help you with this, we've included tutorials below on how to gather and make a tinder bundle. Our firewood foray tutorial will teach you what to look for when gathering wood in the wild. We teach you how to process wood for best burning with our wood splitting and feather sticks videos. Lastly, how you set up your fire structure where you will place your burning tinder bundle is key to successful fire. Our one match fire video gives you tips for this process.

We'd love to hear how your fires turn out. Connect with us on our Facebook or Instagram pages below to share your success, challenges, or questions for making fire by friction.
