How To Make Ashed Tinder, Fatwood Sticks, And Char Cloth (3 Tutorials)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июл 2019
- I'm completely out of Ashed Tinder, low on Fatwood Sticks, and could always use some more Char Cloth. Sounds like a good time to show you how I make these excellent fire starters.
Any tinder that you saturate with ashes will make that tinder into a great coal extender. It can be used the same way to catch sparks easily, stays lit/smoldering all by itself without aeration, and conversely can be aerated into an intense ember to ignite tinder.
I never used fatwood sticks at all until about a year ago... don't know why. I happily keep them in stock all the time now. They're great about starting difficult wet tinders for fire.
Who ever really has enough char cloth? Although I have a peanut can full, I could always use more. LOL! Really though, I already have denim and terry cloth so, in the interest of variety, I'll be adding some t-shirt char cloth to the mix.
Come see the 3 tutorials and Please SUBSCRIBE at the end of the video. Thanks!

Very thanks
خیلی خوب ممنونم
I spent a week in the Sierra Nevada mountains last week and never used a match or lighter. Only the things you have taught me., Had a fire every night no problem..Thanks Mr. David...I impressed a couple of teenagers too. I bet they will be subscribing to your channel soon. :)
I know that was a nice camping experience. Thanks!
I've known for quite a while about Fatwood & Char-Choth, that it's great stuff for building a fire. However, this is the first time I've ever been introduced to Ash-Cloth!! So very impressive!! I've learned something brand new. Goes to show, a person isn't too old to come across different fire building techniques & bushcraft. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Please visit my Ashed Tinder Playlist. Thank You!
A true fire master, such good knowledge to know. I like to camp and hike these techniques will come in very handy thank you sir for your time.
Thanks Justin!
Hi David! I have watched the majority of your videos. I find them so relaxing and inspirational. Fire is mesmerizing to me... Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time for all to see and learn from!
I think that's the normal human reaction that most people haven't recognized about themselves. Everybody stares into a campfire mesmerized.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Thanks for the reply David. I have camped and lived in RV communities half of my life and enjoyed the fire and friends around it. At the age of 74 I can still master the fire and am now learning new tricks and techniques from you. Hope you will enjoy your crafts for years to come!
Thanks friend!
VERY good instruction video !! You are fortunate to have such a great source of fat wood ! For once , I learned something new ( to Me ) .
I never would have thought about
the aluminum bottle ( w/ solar ignition on bottom ) or , ash cloth .
I like that better than char cloth !
Never heard of Asher cloth....ill give it a try. Thanks man
Thx David. Idk why but I just can't get enough of your videos 😀
Good! cause I can't get enough of making them!
After I watched this one I had to go try it, ashed cotton rag worked Phenomenal, and I used a white rag...ty ty
Thanks David, I have got to make some ash cloth!
Putting the slits in is genius!
I tend to miss the easy, common sense type of fixes, but eventually... LOL!
Well Done my Friend Thank You
Great video David, had some fun with Ash cotton fire rolls :-) the visiting folk wore amazied (-: thanks for the party tricks
I too enjoyed David, thanks, that ash imbedded is a winner 👍
Also in the past during our late Archery hunts we’d use pitch stumps on our fire
Burn most all night, just find an old stump that’s been a sit’n, yank it out , some come easier than others, and you got yourself some heat
I hear you! Big ol ball of burning pitch.
Excellent video David! I started a fire yesterday using a magnifying glass and charcloth made 3 years ago. Lit like a champ!!! AND of course I learned how to make charcloth from you!!!🙂 I made a bow drill,spindle, fire board and hand block from your videos as well! No luck getting a fire but got smoke before I pooped out! Lol! Can't wait to try again! Thanks for ALL the knowledge you're sending our way!!!🙂👍👍👍
It's ok to cheat for you're first few bow drill embers. Spray WD-40 or other lube on your spindle tip and fire board's divot.
Woah! Better spray the bearing block's divot instead of the fire board's divot! LOL!
Cool ashed cloth and solar. New to me, will surely try. Atb
super knowledge
I like that Solar char cloth trick, David.
Fun! Thanks EE!
very cool. good stuff to know
Thanks for watching!
thanks for the tutorials i am going dumpster diving looking for one of those bottles for my ashed cloth containers good content
I find them on the side of the road... not that hard to see from the car.
just giving you the business im to old to go dumpster diving im a hobbyist to i try your methods just to learn new things!lots of fun learning new things !
I would like to add to the topic of char cloth if you have 100% cotton absolutely use that because its creates a premium product. But even 70% will work in a pinch. It will be more stiff and crumbly making it a bit harder to use, and will leave residue on your char tin but it will light from a fero rod.
I just found out they make fire starter replacements for the toothpick and tweezers of a Swiss Army Knife!
I use a Condor machete to baton/split wood.
Nice!
Hi David. Just found your videos and I am really enjoying them. Thank you for taking the time to put them out there for folks to benefit.
Quick question, it looks like you have a morakniv companion knife. If so, did you grind/file the spine in order to be able to use it with a ferro rod? Do you happen to have a video about that?
Thanks!
Yes friend, one about the initial grind, another about keeping it sharp thereafter.

@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Thank you very much David. May God bless you for all your kind effort.
What is your all time favorite way to make fire? mine is flint and steel and making char cloth. very satisfying to me anyway, Thanks for what you do, I always learn something watching you.
Stay safe my friend, good to see you again,
BIC then ferro rod.
Lovely to watch I never get tired of starting fires. Or watching you do it.
And since finding you I have a new hobby.
Will be making your hobo stove.
But could I ask? Never seen anyone else blocking vent holes when flame extinguishers. Why did you do that?
Thanks 🔥
I like big vent holes. They can let oxygen in during the cooling process and cause the charcloth to burn up. Doesn't happen with smaller vent holes.
David West do bigger holes in your opinion make better char cloth or does the bigger hole just accelerate the process
Thank you
Yes, better. Please visit my char cloth playlist.
Thanks mr west 👍
Its Father’s Day today in the UK hoping to get a mora off the children have a good day 🔥
appreciate the instrucional videos..Do you have one that show close up to you hold the flint and char cloth?
Many. See my flint and steel playlist.
Thanks for your good training video, I had a question, how did the fabric catch fire in about 4 minutes? The next question is how can I prepare or make 18-minute mesh fabrics for ignition? Thanks
I don't have time to watch this video again to answer your question. Please visit my char playlist.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl
Ok thanks
Very informative video. Thanks David. Are those cicadas chirping in the background? I've heard them when I visited NC, but we don't have them in the PNW (Oregon).
Yes our Summertime symphony. TY!
Do you have a video on how you made your little stove?
Yes, see my hobo stove builds playlist
Hey David, I had a thought. Have you ever tried using ash with your bow drill? Dump some on the board divot, maybe? I'm not anywhere I can try it right now, myself.
Doesn't work, ashed are just quickly deposited into the dust pile.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Oh well, thanks for the info.
Kind of a new be here what is the best wood to make the fat wood sticks, I heard you mention it was root wood. Cedar, pine, fir. I know my folks used cedar as kindling
Welcome Billie Goat! There's so much more to it than what you ask. Please check out my fatwood playlist.
David, you should increase the gain on your microphone or use a lapel microphone. Can't hear what you are saying at a normal speaker level.
Monkey just learned a new trick..., a few actually.
Monkey see monkey do. That's how I learn too.
I take a firelighter 😂😂😂
Just getting in to it making char wood as we speak . What ar the Benafits of fat wood
See my fatwood playlist.
what size of corona saw do you use?
10”
Pretty fatwood! Its like cheating!
I tried making ash cloth out of toilet paper. It worked! Burned a little fast though.
I've used paper towel. Any tinder that you ash will work.
Hey David, what if you melted a block of canning wax and stirred in a bunch of ashes, then dip all of your strips in and roll them up? Would that be cheating? That stuff would explode I bet. LOL
Try it.
Surely one of these methods can set fire to the globalist agenda, haha. I love the fatwood stick bundle! Great idea 🌲🌲🌲
