    I totally agree that starting fire is the most important survival skill. Warmth, boiling water, cooking and light. Without the basic knowledge of creating fire civilization wouldn't be what it is today.

    Thank you very much Mr. Ovens for showing me how I can still do the bow drill with your log method, I have hip problems and find it difficult to to it the regular way now, though I had succeeded in the past , now I can try a new way which some day could be a lifesaver.

    I was sitting in a vehicle one time and waiting for my Sister to get her mail at the post office. Hot day and had the window open. I wear reading glasses around my neck. I was sitting there waiting and I kept feeling my arm burning. I look down and the sun was magnified through the readers burning my arm. Lol

    Hi Greg, if you remove the metalpiece from your lighter you have still a chance for a little flame. Put the lighter in your hand for a while to warm it up. Now press the gas permanent with your left thumb and ignite with your other hand, and you get a very little flame. By removing the 'metalpiece' there is more oxygen around, and you can start a fire. Stay well and a big PETRI

    Hey Greg! Love the videos man and appreciate all the hard work you put into them. This another great video and I'll definitely be learning how to do some of these tricks. I thought about something when you lit that last fire in the video with a lighter that had no fluid it became very apparent how quick big forest fires can start. I'm sure you know all about that and I'm also sure you've dealt with them actually.. I know y'all have because I watch your videos lol. Just an idea but using a lit cigarette and showing viewers how easy a forest fire can start by flicking a cigarette out the window of a car or even walking a trail in the woods or something, I just think that would be a awesome video and bring awareness to ppl how easy these fires can start. Even using these seeds you using in this video and or the dandy lion heads, Dry grass etc... Thanks for being awesome man give Fin a big hug for me it's always cool to see him. I'm disabled and can't really get out and about but if I'm ever able to It'd be cool to do a overnight survival or even just meet up and do some fishing or lobster catching lol. Have a blessed day and be safe out there. 😎💪💯 26:21

    Powder in the lighter is a good one. I just spent five weeks hiking in Idaho. I can't walk past the hundreds of down and rotting stumps without thinking about your hacks. My hiking partner thinks I'm nuts but it makes a hike so much more enjoyable grinding up some powder and kicking stumps looking for fatwood - smells great. I need a partner like Finley. My Shepard / Lab mix dog died a few days before you drove up to pick up Finley. I miss her so much.

    Nearly forty yrs ago, whenever coming down to the flatlands, would pick up any lighters as I walked along the road. Generally the trek back would be in the dark. Holding a lighter out in front and shielding your eyes with a cupped hand, the spark would light your way. Could end up with a sore thumb but better than falling
    off the trail. Mountainman Carl
