The Hand Drill method of friction fire making is about as raw as it gets. You spin a wooden drill against a wood board with your bare hands. This method has had one of the widest distributions on earth, and it probably has been used for the longest span of time. Clearly, it's one of the most difficult friction methods to use. But when properly demonstrated, hand drill fire building is a thing of beauty. Should this be your go-to fire making method? Nope, this method is probably the single greatest reason why matches and lighters were invented. I don't expect that 1% of the world's population could pull this technique off. The Bow Drill is more likely to work for most people, and I guarantee that method will be more of a fight than it looks on TV. Remember, there's always that quiet voice in the background saying "…your results may vary," or something like that.
