Wooden Bow-Drill Fire-Making Practice Set

Practise the manual bow-drill friction method with a wooden spindle, bow and fireboard set.

✅ Explore a hand-driven friction method - The bow moves the spindle against the fireboard without an electric igniter.

✅ Gather the main practice components together - The set groups the wooden drill and supporting pieces for the method.

Prepare a Controlled Outdoor Practice Session

Choose a permitted outdoor setting and prepare suitable dry materials before practising. The bow, spindle and fireboard provide components for the friction method, which also depends on the user's skill and preparation.

Treat this as a practice set rather than a guaranteed means of ignition. Follow appropriate fire precautions and local permissions throughout the activity, with a suitable method ready for managing any fire.
