i know Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Lionel Mohamed I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
loved the video and it was perfectly explained...lit my first fire tonight using a ferro rod but was just hit with the irony of using youtube to learn primitive techs.
LOL! It is a crazy world we live in Chris :) We use our high powered devices to look up primitive skills :) Congratulations on that first fire!! I appreciate your kind words and I hope that you will enjoy other videos as you continue learning new skills. Take care my friend!
It's been days I've been searching for a video that could teach me how to use my Ferro Rod in a better way. My current problem was that I couldn't light anything up without my cotton.. I thought the problem was I couldn't make big enough sparks like in other people's videos, because my Ferro Rod was too small.. that's when I find your video where you use the exact same model, and propose new techniques to counter it's small length! You saved me, thx!
Thank you.. you can imagine me talking survival to my family.. well I just used Ferro rod one of the ways you are showing it and at worked like a charm.
You are one of the few guys who actually know how to draw a ferro rod. That added detail of bracing on your boot was a nice little detail. I'm you newest subscriber.
Thank you so much for tuning in Chris! I am glad you found the video to be useful. That is what it's all about right there! Thank you for your comment and take care.
Excellent video Matt! Very well demonstrated, very well presented, I can see that you make a great teacher when running bushcraft classes. Always learning something from your videos brother!
Thank you so much Torren! I really appreciate your kind words brother. That means so much my friend. Thanks for taking the time to tune in and I am glad you got something from it.
Thanks for the honesty!! I often thought that a ferro rod would do as a magnesium, if it was done properly. Grinding the ferro rod into shavings, makes it so you don't have to carry one more thing into the bush. But now...MAYBE I'll get the 6" ferro...MAYBE..
Wow. I've watch countless videos on ferro rod technics but yours has definitely tought me some new awsome skills. Thanks so much for sharing the knowledge!!!
Thumbs up from me, too: The best video, I've seen so far, and there have been a lot! Stabilizing the scraper with the tip of your boot - thumb up! "Shooting" sparks with only the tip of the rod - thumb up! And so on... Thank you!
This is the best I have seen on youtube. I have one thing to add. Try using the slow scrape technique onto a dry leaf (or paper for practice ). Make a fold in the leaf (paper) and do your scraping. You can now tap the leaf to concentrate the scraping into the fold, and tap them precisely onto your tinder. Ignite with a fast stroke.
Seems simple enough, but I see people on these "survival shows" struggle with ferrocerium rods and magnesium bars, so it's nice to see these techniques and how to use these tools more fully explained. Also good to know that the bigger size is worth buying.
Great video, really well done and informative. In the past when finding really good tender was a problem, I have used chap stick from my kit for an accelerant. I just rub on the stick as I'm feathering. I would recommend using RED or Orange Gorilla tape and paracord unless your trying to hide. Much easier to find items you drop or just lay on the ground. Reflective orange is really great at night if you have a flash light. I'm going to practice throwing a spark a foot today, like you just did.Thanks
Going to have to go see an optometrist, seeing blue not black . Never seen a glob thrown before . I see Europeans do the flickering method quite a bit . Thanks for the tips. Have a blessed evening
I appreciate that my friend. It doesn't always happen in one strike :) Sometimes it can be a little more challenging depending on the tinder material. Thank you for your kind words and for tuning in!
That is an awesome video.Thanks for sharing your skills Mat. The way you break this down reinforced the need for well prepped combustibles. I appreciate your personal guidance this past weekend at Frozen Foot 2019. I'm doing it brother... Thanks. RLTW
Thank you so much for your interest and for the sub Mark! I appreciate it my friend! I will have a part 2 coming out before too long on some more ferro rod techniques to take it a little further. Take care sir!
Dang Dude. I have seen you do videos on things that so many others have covered, and yet you put an original spin on the subject and give so much more information. You are truly and outdoor and bushcraft educator.
I have to say, I didnt really think there was much to learn about ferro rods... boy was I wrong! You seem to have mastered the use of these. You showed me techniques I havent seen before! I love to take something away when I watch a video... I definitely feel like I did with your video. Nice job!Thank you for a valuable gift! God bless
Best option is to incorporate a spring-loaded ferro rod and striker unit, like a cigarette lighter, installed into the butt end of your knife handle. This is an always dry, always safe, (never drop and lose!) unit. And in a one-handed firestarting emergency you can hold a bird's nest and strike knife butt in one hand, run the striker along your pant leg, or boot sole (or side of sole) or a wood surface and shoot out a massive ton of sparks for getting a flame and fire.
I can't say I have ever seen a unit like that. Very interesting! I would love to see one in action for sure. Thank you for watching and commenting John!
Good video! I put Black Hat Bushcraft's URL and the name of this video in a review I did of Coghlan's Flint Striker on Amazon. Thanks for the video! -- Old Matt
Another great video thanks for going in so much detail. And those were three good ways to use the fear rod. I enjoy your videos looks almost as much as it looks like you enjoy making them keep them coming I'll keep watching and passing them on thank you.
Thank you so much Phillip! I truly do enjoy sharing these videos and the process of making them as it challenges me to train, study, review and practice my subject matter. I really appreciate your interest and kind words my friend!
Matt, can you use the inside of the bottle opener on your SAK as a ferro rod striker? Not the can opener which doesn't have enough space but the bottle opener. It has a nice curve to it which should contact a larger area of the rod. I don't have a ferro rod. Can you experiment and let us know?
You’re a genius, and a real good teacher. Thank you for showing me what no one else has.
Corporals corner sent me over to your page. He is right you do a great job of explaining and teaching. Glad he told us about you.
Thank you for coming over and for your kind words! The Corporal is Outstanding indeed :)

The pull technique is best.

Good video! I put Black Hat Bushcraft's URL and the name of this video in a review I did of Coghlan's Flint Striker on Amazon.
Thanks for the video!

Thank you so much for putting that out there! I truly appreciate the promotion my friend! Your interest and support are greatly appreciated as well!
You're welcome; however, Amazon wouldn't allow the URL, but Black Hat Bushcraft and this video's title are still in the review.
Another great video thanks for going in so much detail. And those were three good ways to use the fear rod. I enjoy your videos looks almost as much as it looks like you enjoy making them keep them coming I'll keep watching and passing them on thank you.
