I got that now I'm choking you got this little upload your open up oh my god skema might help me I'm hoping Vince light and everything oh my god looks like success hey Dave drill oh this is there this is easier than this month where hey I near me what would you advise me to anyone wanting to try bow drill in the wet British weather don't do it this shit will put the kindling on my way okay so that's it for this video we managed to do it just about it wasn't easy I'll be honest and when I was pretty rush to divulge your lavender prop in a long time see ya it was a struggle but yeah I'm glad we did it is a pretty proud of that and my father's secret on point on I'm really quite believe that my friend stick so we're decent so we're yeah until next time hope you enjoy the video I'll see you again very very soon hello game people so I hope you enjoyed that video the one stick fire was something I've been wanting to do for a long time but I just decided to throw in the bow drill just to make it a little bit more difficult and my god it was definitely difficult he definitely took everything I have in terms of skill to make that happen and I'm definitely glad I kept trying until I was successful because it does feel them really like I've accomplished something in this video I don't know whether you noticed but I'm actually using my new ensure Mike but I actually did something a little bit different and i overlaid that audio on top of the original audio so you still can't get that weather experience in the background just to show it was a proper rainstorm so let me know what you think about that i actually get worked really well i like that but yeah so we've got a new mic now so the audio is gonna be better for that kind of video and we're going forward hiking the things that don't think i'm going to use it's just more technology that can go wrong so we'll stick to the camera for that anyway so if you'd like to see some more bold rule from me check out the video on screen this was roughly about 12 months ago now when me and Paul Brooks I love the fellow youtuber in the lot in my local area went out for the day and I just did a little bit of bow drill practice in perfect drug conditions and it was a total success but yeah that video is there a little more bold rob but other than that I hope you enjoyed the video thanks for watching and I'll see you again very very soon you
