    This is one of the most important primitive survival technologies even more important than a bow drill. After all you can't make a bow drill for fire without cordage

      @@MikeyCelestine pal, all you need for a fire is sticks/logs of various sizes obviously, gather some tinder such as horses hoof fungus, coal fungus, birch bark curls or dust(firemakers choice though dust is better) etc. Gather some dry grass, get some flint, quartz, chert, obsidian, agate or Jasper and a rock such as iron pyrite or marcasite. Get a nice ember nest going out of the dry grass, Make a delve in it for the tinder, grab your iron pyrite or marcasite and flint(or variation there upon) and hit the flint with the iron impregnated rock a few times over the nest shaving off flint which then oxidizes mid-air becoming a spark. The tinder will catch, you blow on it softly but not to softly until the nest starts to smoke. Once you see flame, shot it in your pile of kindling and build up the fire as per usual. That is fire made exactly how we did it when we were running around naked hurling spears at deer.

    Great video, I tend to splice mine a bit different but hey, it still works. I've used this technique to show some how cordage was made and how it can be made out of materials you wouldn't expect to be useful at all. (Such as a few types of dried grass.) It's funny how we tend to take cordage and rope for granted these days.
