    You finally cleared around the fire "pit"! Remember children, those of you who live in the western US need to clear everything to at least 10 feet out from the center. Us old firefighters refer to "no smoke" as "complete combustion". All three sides of the fire pyramid (fuel, oxygen, heat) are deliciously satisfied simultaneously. That's why the Dokota Pit is so efficient. This is a good refresher and a marvelous how to for Pilgrams in the field. Carry on!

Midweek video #16 guarantee that fire in the rain, #10 emergency fire tricks, and there is an older video on how to start and maintain a fire in the rain. You really can't go wrong on any of his technical videos though. Make sure to watch all of his overnight in the woods videos to see what he coaches applied to use.

    One great thing about living in Australia is we don’t have trouble getting a fire started, most of our plants and trees are so full of flammable oils they will burn even if they are green, I use the fibres from the stringy bark gum and finely crushed dry eucalyptus leaves to make a fire nest, dry kangaroo dung works quite well too

    Fire is a chore I don't particularly care to do. When I need or have to build a fire, I typically use an "all natural" 20 min road flare. Been doing that for decades. In the PNW or Southeast Alaska, it's the easy way to flame.

    A manmade firestarter/tinder I've found works each time, every time; old newspaper, torn into strips a few inched wide, and it doesn't matter if you tear it along the short edge, or the long edge of the newspaper page, then roll the strip up semi-loosely, and soak it in melted candle wax.
    Water proof, and lights easy with a match, or a lighter.
    And weighs less than carrying fatwood with you.

    I've been at fire craft for 50+ years, and on four different continents and nearly all biomes and all four seasons. NEVER ONCE have I had to laboriously scrape tinder with a knife. I've used a flint and steel, but normally I just carry a couple of BIC lighters. They weigh less than a striking stick.
    Also, I build a log cabin fire around my tinder and kindling. Not only does it shield the inner from the wind while allowing plenty of airflow, but the initial fire dries the sapling to log sized sticks in the log cabin arrangement.

    @percisionshot4331 10 месяцев назад +1

    I’ve been gathering fatwood for the past couple days. I discovered a new to me technique for processing fatwood. I get nice thick limb of wood and use a 1/4” hole bit and drill holes in it. Then cut that part off about a 1/4” to 1/2” thick making a disk with holes in. Continue in this manner. I do this several times then put the disk in a container I use a ziplock bag. I use the shavings/drill dust to start the fire then place the disk on it and it burns very strong with a jet like response. These work very well if your tender is a little damp. Of course you have to do this prior to going into the woods.

      I wonder how many cavemen died before 30? Exposure? Disease? Infections?
      Fire was coveted and essential skill but ancient humans were not solo creatures. It took a tribe to hunt sometimes a single beast. Think of the energy needed to slay a bison or hog with spears by tracking, herding, and trapping. Then to subdue a creature of large size without anyone getting hurt.

    This is the best video I’ve seen on fire starting. In the future could you make a video on how to start a fire in a wet environment? Thanks for the awesome instruction.
