Firestarter - Cord Drill and Pump Drill Video

[TWP]

I normally don't post a Youtube link, but this one ( and it's author) offer some very good training in "primitive" skills.

This one show how to make both a "Cord Drill" and a "Pump Drill" firestarter

It begins with a good reason NOT to try the hand spun fire drill technique, unless you have much callus on your hands...

Please note the methods of making cordage.  It is very well demonstrated.  If you already have some paracord, you're ahead of the game, but hours.

Note that I have not practiced this (the apartment would not react well to this), but I would like to see it done,
perhaps at the Spring Campout?
