Fire Using Bamboo

Starting a fire using dry bamboo demonstrated here by Aeta tribesmen in the Philippine jungle. Bamboo has many uses and is quite prevalent in Asia. It is oftentimes used as building material for houses, furnitures, utensils, baskets, cradles and is even used as handles for BNCW-01 Bushcraft knife. It is also a source of food. The bamboo shoot, new bamboo culms that come out of the ground, is harvested and cooked as vegetables.





A good alternative for the bow drill and hand drill method in places where bamboo is available.

That's all folks! Thanks for viewing.
