This is a demonstration on how to use the hand drill method to start a fire. This looks, and is, quite easy once you've done your homework and practiced. Starting a friction fire was on my bucket list. I started out with the bow drill method because the hand drill looked impossible. The bow drill method is very reliable and easier to learn because your hands don't wear out (blisters). But after moving on to the hand drill I rarely use the bow drill anymore. There are plenty of materials to make a hand drill work and you can get a coal just as fast or faster.
