This arrived fairly quickly and was packaged very well. The hearth, bow, cord, and pressure applicator are fine and the package included two spare bearings for the applicator, which is excellent and was not expected. Now onto the negative side that completely ruins the product. The spindle is made of pine wood, just like the hearth is. While this is still functional, it takes much longer to produce a coal or even smoke when trying to get a friction fire. A maple or oak dowel would only slightly increase the cost, but would take half as long to get fire going. While it's easy enough to swap out a spindle, it's not something a customer should have to do just to have a practical tool

fireboard broke with very little pressure on it. cord also of poor quality and wore out quickly. Having said that, it does work, and comes with a bearing not only for the block, but also for one additional block you can make yourself. Not bad for a first-timer, but also not as good as the simpler yucca wood BSA kit.

There are no instructions with this kit. Just 2 sticks, some cord, a wood plank, and some fibre to help start. Unfortunately no instructions on how to do it. Will be asking for a refund

It's not as easy as the video shows, but it works if you keep at it. Nice, even strokes, consistent pressure.

It works so well. I tested it in the house to see if it was any good and filled the room with smoke without much effort.

Never got it work for me. Made a heckuvalotta smoke, for sure. Could never get an ember. Drills right through the board. And eventually the board snapped in half and ... awkward, cumbersome, no joy.Otherhand? Didn't cost much. Would have been delightful had it worked, but... not out much.

Good to get your kids the idea of the process. The board broke when using it, still serviceable do not a big deal

If you want to learn the bowdrill fire method. Start with this. I tried forever and could not get a coal till i ran across this kit. I learned the right pressure and speed etc. The softer wood made it much easier in the beginning. Now 3 years later i can get coals on many different woods. Than you to whoever came up with this kit.

I needed these for my brothers who are into the outdoors. Something more primitive than matches or a lighter, yet handy enough to produce a fire without too much toil.
