Damn. I been trying to light unprocessed amadou to no success. What a great idea to use ash. David West puts it on everything and it works. Thanks for the idea.
Dave Canterbury did this, without the fire ash, and it took with flint and steel little treating. In saying that, it took many strikes before he got the amadou to take.
When your charred punk wood looks like this, it takes 1 to a few strikes to get it going(best type of charred punk wood)... When you char enough, you will know what to look for, more so what kind of punkwood to look for before you char it.
Olen tehnyt tämän hieman samalla tavalla. Taula ei vaadi tuhkalipeässä liottamista, mutta tarvii olla tosi ohutta, ja kuivaa...ja tosiaan ei ota kipinää ilman, että hieroo tuhkaa siihen. Vedessä liottamalla sen saa helpommin venutettua ohueksi.
Nice demonstration of the amadou and the method of using the charred material this way. Why did you dump ALL your charred punkwood into the first fire? I usually make a tinder bundle, which once I get it ignited from my charred material, place it alone into my fire lay, preserving the charred material for additional ignitions. Just curious if there is a reason to do what you've done.
Hej! Jag undrar om fnösktickan förlorar sin elasticitet när den blir torr. Kan man sträcka ut den som du gör i videon även när den blir torr? Spelar det någon roll när man tänder den om den är färskplockad eller torkad?
Well if!! I mean if it's very' very' dry! This will not work...alot of the time it will be damp I injoy processing boiling..the Amadou and drying it out properly..😉
It looks to me like you treated that horse hoof fungus with fresh smoldering ashes. So really it’s not good to use for your initiating an ember for your first fire but more useful for your second Fire.
@@mattiasnorberg Right… I observed that. Your video says Flint and steel fire with “untreated” horse hoof fungus. I just wanted to let you know you labeled your video incorrectly.
@@jeremiahyeo5863 Yes of course, youre right😊 My thought was that you usually treat the fungus by boiling it in a ash and water for a couple of hours and then dry it before you can use it with flint and steel. The video shows an easier method.
Dude, hold the stone and strike with the steel. You will cut your knuckles off striking with the stone. You throw the spark down off the steel. Not aim for blood!
Thanks for your concern😊 And of course you must be careful with this method. Some tinders can't be held on top of the flint making this method a functional option. In my almost 40 years doing this I haven't yet hit my knuckles😏
@@mattiasnorberg It's different fungus that grows where I live, but you dig out the pores so it's like a cup. Hold the flint over the cup, and strike down with the steel throwing the steel spark down into the cup. I always make sure the steel is roughed up good so that big chips of the steel fly down hot.
I don't really know what you mean? The way I do it in the video is the way I do it in the video! And yes there are other ways you can do it, I can do them to... Have you ever done it?
@@mattiasnorbergYes stop doing it the wrong way, even if it’s working! LMFAO! Good video, do you have a scientific explanation for what the ash is doing to cause materials to catch a spark? I have ashed uncharred punkwood and caused it to catch a spark

Thank you for this good method. I want to try it!
Thanks a lot😊 Yes try it out👍
I've heard of some people boiling it in ash water. 👍👍
Yes, I have done that many times. This way us much easier.

Wow that looks a lot simpler than what I have been doing 😂. Will give that a try if it ever stops raining here.
Then we hope it stops raining soon👍😊

Amazing how deceiving your caption is. You didnt do it all with just the horse hoof

Thanks😊 Since my tinder bundle was birch bark I wanted a bigger and hotter ember. I later charred more punkwood in that same fire.
Amazing
Thanks🙏😊
Interesting!
Nice
i see my and daughter playing this weekend.

Funkar det inte så bra när den är torr kan du fukta den lite. Använder du färsk ticka kan du låta den torka någon timme innan du använder den.
I like the size of your fire steel. Would you mind telling me where I can get one?

Like 👍 video 👌
😊🔥
👍
Är åldern på tickan av betydelse för att det ska glöda när man inte lägger i askbad?
För att kunna dra och sträcka ut tickan bör den inte vara äldre än en 3-4 år och gärna ha en stor bula högst uppe.
@@mattiasnorberg Okej. Lyckats få fram fina flak som en handflata, men svårt att få gnistorna att fastna
Okej, riv av en bit så att du får en fluffig kant och doppa den i den grå/vita askan och prova.
Hur vet man åldern på tickan? Hur gammal är tickan i videon?
excellent stuff I am going to try this with some polypore
Thanks😊
Well if!! I mean if it's very' very' dry! This will not work...alot of the time it will be damp
I injoy processing boiling..the Amadou and drying it out properly..😉
As you can see in the video it works fine. I let it dry for two hours🔥
Great video! I love it! New sub. Thanks a lot ! Cheers from Canada 👍
Thanks a lot buddy, cheers🙏😊
Why dip in white ash?
Otherwise it won't ignite.
😢

Yes, this method need ashes, it makes the amadou ignite easier.

I'm not sure that's the way you do it I seen others videos they do it way different than your

@@mattiasnorberg no because I don't have any but If I do I'll do it right way
@@mattiasnorberg ruclips.net/video/UHP9iHKZiB4/видео.html
@@mattiasnorbergYes stop doing it the wrong way, even if it’s working! LMFAO!
Good video, do you have a scientific explanation for what the ash is doing to cause materials to catch a spark?
I have ashed uncharred punkwood and caused it to catch a spark
So you need a fire to make a fire?!?!?! 😂😂😂😂 PATHETIC!!!
