    Kind of makes me wonder why people on the show survivor can’t make fire this quick and easy. You did a great job and I think you should be on the next Survivor show on CBS. I know you would do well and would win .

    Good Job on the fire
    The bow drill is just a ridiculous improvement of trying the same thing by hand

    And to make it a bit tastier you can rub spices on it. Mabey even find some wild seasonings

    I’m not sure if your the guy to ask…but i know in some cases you don’t have the time to prepare the food for preservation…. I’ve heard About something my ancestors did(vikings) about preserving whole legs and slabs of meat for long voyages,haven’t found out how yet,i was wondering if you might know what that is? if not thanks for the info on this i’ll be sure to use it.

    hahah shit you do know alot,,thanks man that will help,,amkes sense good hunting

  11. HedgehogLeatherworks says:

    Hmmmm… I wish I knew… perhaps loading it down with tons of salt could do the trick. I know that if it is not going to be kept cold, it has got to be kept dry… and salt will abosrb tons of moisture… hope that helps!

    Hey good point… I will research this more and perhaps offer another video at some point… thanks for chiming in!

    You probably shouldn’t say “lasts indefinitely” when talking about open-air drying in a survival situation…without salt or sodium nitrite, I wouldn’t recommend eating beef jerky more than a week old that was only smoke-cured…asking for salmonella otherwise. With a hand-salt rub prior to air-dry, you would see minimum failures and would keep for maybe a month. Just a recommendation…or mention doing a salt-brine soak first…

    Dude…you need salt and peppers on that meat before you smoke it.

    if you have the bow drill and fireboard, just place left foot on board, wrap spindle in bow, hold spindle with handhold against left leg, spin the bow. when smoke forms stop, cut notch in board and then continue, drop coal in tinder and start fire.

    Do you have a vid for the Bow drill method (to start the fire)? Cause i’m not pretty good and i would like to learn the technic.

    Thanks
