A REALLY easy way to "make" rust is to use 000 steel wool. Take a sprayer and mist it with a mixture of water with about 20% vinegar. It will rust quickly, and the steel wool will easily crumble into rust dust. Just put it in a small jar and use a dowel to crush it into dust, then you can use the jar to store the rust for later use.

We used to get jute twine in huge rolls in the Boy Scouts. A Vietnam vet who would chaperone would take the roll and soak it in kerosene and then place it in a 5 gallon bucket with a hole in the lid that it would feed out of. We'd have the smell of flammables on our hands after lashing stuff together. But it not only helped protect the twine, it also provided excellent fire starting material. I remember making all kinds of firestarting techniques and doodads. The ones with batteries always fascinated me. Using batteries and thin pieces of conductive metal (even a gum wrapper works) with a AAA battery. Steel wool, kitchen grease, and a 9-volt battery works also. Don't really need the battery for that one, though. But honestly if we were building a fire in the woods we'd usually just use camp fuel and the thump-a-match cause we're lazy.
Rust is one of the 2 elements needed to make Thermite. It's amazing what a little rust and a little Aluminum can do! They weld train rails with a Thermite device too.
@@Meganstoy you need rust which is iron oxide and aluminium to make thermite. Also, you would also need a very hot heat source like a blow torch to ignite the mixture. Just having those two compounds and a bit of friction isn't going to set off a violent reaction. Using aluminium to make a rusty jute is fine
Now this is a dandy. I like to consider myself well versed in many areas but I've never run across this one. Thanks for passing it along. Damn well done and a good one.
I seem to remember that for jute to be spun into twine, the jute must be oiled or it will break and crumble in the machines. Jute Batching Oil is a middle petroleum distillate produced in refineries and it is applied to make the jute more pliable for spinning. That would explain the nice flame you created.
I appreciate you Mr West! I'm becoming a fire Master because of you. You are the premier fire starter teacher that I found anywhere on the web. Kudos to you sir! 💯
You could make these in advance and keep them in a "doob tube" (they really do look like joints). Really clever. May be difficult finding two long flat surfaces you can rub together out in the woods, but this was definitely new to me. Very interesting!
ive never seen something like this, and that was very cool. This is something that looked very easy and quick to do, but im sure you have lots of experience. it was very interesting how you were holding the fire, you were definitely not afraid to have fire in your hands.
he did say he did not expect it to burst into flames, yet he was prepared when it did. throwing a flaming wad of stuff is a good way to start a bigger fire, a wise man he is.
Lol ... it looks like a roll of something you’d buy from the guy on the corner, Wow ... I’m impressed at the different ways you’ve found to make fire. Well done!
Dave, i m addicted and obsessed (lol) with the fire roll. i did maybe hundreds of fire rolls and a fire roll with cotton and dry drain flush, it also burns man!!! you have a PhD in 'fire rolling-ism'. Yess, you are a genious. i watched all of your techniques and i like it. thanks man!!!
boggycreekbeast is the best at this technique. He revived it and brought it to me and the world. Check out his videos. Rudiger Roll a more correct name for it. Thanks!
*I have never even heard of this method of fire starting before...The plank rolling is the perfect example of how smart and ingenuous people can be...Cool or maybe...Hot?...Vid. Thanks for sharing..* 🔥❤🔥🔥👍
Thanks for all the experiments. Since rust is oxidized steel I guess it makes sense that it works so well. Creates it's own oxygen! Cool, Uh I mean Hot! :)
Hate being a smart arse but you’re a little off there. Rust is actually iron oxide. It is the iron within the steel that has been oxidised. And while it is possible for a chemical reaction to rip the oxygen molecules from a element or compound, I doubt there’s sufficient energy or heat to do it here. I was thinking that as it’s tiny pieces of metal, the friction would very quickly heat them up to the point the tinder source ignites. I’m right about the rust 100%, having an educated guess at the oxygen molecules being removed, but the reason for ignition is more just a theory I had, no research or fact checking for that. I mean you can beat a thin rod of iron or steel with a hammer and it will become hot enough to ignite tinder. It’s how some ancient smiths would ignite their forges. Or you can get a paper clip and bend it back and forth quickly and you’d be surprised how fast you burn your finger.
@@joker0206 It would make more sense that the rust either increase friction or acted as a catalyst to make it burn easier. It takes a lot of energy to remove oxygen from rust the heat from friction would never be able to separate the oxygen from it.
Never seen this before, crazy that i have never seen this before, I made it all the way to life scout. Thanks. Now I have a few ideas of my own to go try.
I never saw it. Here's what I found: The Friendly Giant was a children's television program that aired on CBC Television from September 30, 1958 through to March 1985. It featured three main characters: a giant named Friendly, who lived in a huge castle, along with his puppet animal friends Rusty, and Jerome. Wikipedia
That's a new one on me. If you've got the materials it's a WHOLE lot easier than any other method I've seen. Thanks for sharing! Wait a min! Ashes?!?!?!
That's a great demonstration! I think it isn't especially the rust that works. You showed the grey powder, which has bare metal, scraped off the pitted, rusty surface. There is a lot of ironstone in this part of England and some of it is very dark in colour. Checking, I found that freshly cleaved ironstone is grey, so I think that has unoxidised iron visible. There may be further oxidation available in rusty-looking iron powder but grey is probably better. Pulverised ironstone and a fire roll with bark boards - probably a widely available, ancient method. Maybe bog iron also, available for the Norsemen in Anse aux Meadows, now Canada. Reading about iron ore, by definition it contains more than 15% iron. How much there might be in the most concentrated ironstones and how much would be needed to assist combustion in a fire roll, I could only guess.

A common question usually asked in relation to adding it or ash to the divot. Anything you add to the divot is immediately deposited into the dust pile with no effect.
I get my rust from used up hot hands. You can also mix them with some magnesium firestarter shavings for a quick flash of thermite, which really is kinda useless but it's fun to do once or twice.
+John Capps It blew my mind. I didn't know, since I had flames, if I should say my goodbyes or go for more flames with the pine needles. I decided to go for the needles when the flames quickly burned down to my fingers and I had to lay it down.... I laid it down in the needles. Thanks!
I would like to see you try this method with first iron oxide(rust) and a little sulfur and then with sulfur and jute alone. I have heard that the ancient Romans used a thin piece of sulfur rubbed between two boards to make fire. I know that sulfur besides being a good fuel element has a low kindling temperature and will transmit fire through a mass efficiently that is its purpose in black powder.
Fe + S is pyrite mineral, literally the Latin for fire mineral.. Pyre is also a pretty good word for a funeral fire (pyrite for making the funeral fire for the pyre). Got to love the old Roman Empire.
ok ty for your reply. That does make sense , by the way. you can use the pool chlorine tablets and brake fluid for fire. Not sure if that fits what your teaching. But just to let you know if you are interested. Have a good day.
Is the rust or ashes actually required? Or might this work with just the friction of rolling the fibers? Maybe it just works better with the abrasive inside, or needs sone material to hold the heat better. So much to test.
Adding as little as 1% red rust can radically increase burn-rates for many fireworks mixtures. Not any surprise that rust would be an accelerant when it comes to starting a fire!
i had a idea about your next big thing I forgot it should have wrote it down but good channel david west I'm your number one fan for just starters ok nice videos david
Would cattail fibers work? It seems like there are a few things that could be substituted here. Flat rocks in place of the boards and various fibers for the, well, fibers. My thinking is in terms of a survival situation. It also seems like rust would be very easy to find even in the woods.

It's Iron Oxide .. Yes rust is Always a good sparklr.. same as many dirts !
Those boards really pumped it u may not even need rust !?

Have you tried bow and drill and used another person instead of the bow. It's a lot easier lol
@@jw.escape6975 very clever. I will try with my daughter.

This will be handy for me . I'm a model maker and sometimes we need "rust looking " on model ships and submarines .
You don't need rust. almost any gritty substance will do, wood ash is very good. even fine sand. It's all about friction.
Add a little aluminum powder to help keep the rust dust from blowing away, aluminum also will spread the heat faster. 😂😂😂😂

A common question usually asked in relation to adding it or ash to the divot. Anything you add to the divot is immediately deposited into the dust pile with no effect.
At 3:41 Is that a face in the fiber or a case of pareidolia?

Jute is extremely flammable when fiberised like that and ferros oxide or FeO can spontaneously combust in the air as dust.
