Your fire making skills have evolved and you are growing as a Bushcrafter and Survivalist. I remember watching a video where you were attempting to use a Ferro rod and tinder to start a fire without success. Now you can get a spark using a Carbon Steel knife and flint in just a few strikes. You are living proof that practice makes perfect.
Emelie, you explain everything with such a nice upbeat tone that it makes me smile every time ! I understand your desire to learn new ( ancient) ways to do fire prep and bushcraft that have been long forgotten by the general population. I look forward to your next Vlog 🖖🏼
From my experience, the BEST tinder fungus, that is also the easiest to use, and which has multiple uses is Chaga. It grows on birch trees in colder areas. It will take a spark right off the tree with minimal processing (crack off a piece till you see the orange part), AND it will produce a wonderful, healthy tea when boiled in water. AMAZING stuff Emelie.
Thanks,,, the tools that you carry in your head, normally can't be lost or broken, or stolen. And that is the beauty of learning primitive bushcraft. But , if I have a lighter, or a tent, or a car, I will use those first. 😆 keep up the good work. ..
Great job with the amadou, Emelie. It looks like all of that spanking was worth it. I really like that you explore the older, more primitive outdoor tasks. I hope you like new big knife, but I know you're going to love the new little one. I still can't believe you found a knife to match your pants. That's awesome! I'm choosing to believe that Morakniv watches your videos and made that color just for you. It's always nice to see another video from you. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Amazing that something that appears on the outside to be more or less useless would turn out to be so useful for making fire. Next to breathing, staying warm is critical. Of course, one needs water, but it's quite possible to perish from hypothermia long before lack of water would be a life-or-death issue. Nicely done! Stay safe out there. Cheers.
great video, love that you could make a fire so readily with just flint and steel! I imagine it's the lye in the wood ash that helps the amadou take a spark so readily, either by breaking it down slightly, or by acting as an astringent to help keep it dry. perhaps one day someone will make a video of the science of this. hope you are having a lovely summer!
Hello Emelie. Not sure how I stumbled upon your videos, but I'm glad I did. I love your adventures. And learning about Sweden. My grandmother would sit me on her lap and sing, "Rida, rida ranka, Hasten heter Blanka. Vart ska vi rida? Rida sta och fria, Till en liten piga........
I do believe that the purple camo brings you the extra touch for fire making the pink camo will greatly increase your bow drill attempts the fire will not dare to disappoint the teacher . Good video have a nice day.
I just got mine and I absolutely love it, it’s the best knife Morakniv has made. Also, a great way to use the knife to strike a flint with the Garberg is to hold it with the spine facing away from you, take a piece of char cloth, fold it over a part of the flint rock, using the knife strike downward on the flint closest to the char cloth as possible so the cloth catches the sparks.
I love everything you did except holding the material in your hand. When you get smoke you can put the material in a nest ( group of small material like the pine needles behind you ) and blow on it lightly until you see a flame and then put that in a small of wood you want to light. Once that material has flamed up you can go ahead and put material like branches on that and then add kindling wood to the fire and then heavier pieces of branches or wood to it and let it burn. Your channel is so nice and I love that you are learning how to survive in the wilderness as everyone may need it one day. I hope you have a great day and keep on practicing your fire starting skills.
That was a nice video :) I'm quit new to bushcrafting and i'm always struggling with getting a fire on with my fire steel - which is also pink, it was a gift from my Boyfriend to make "going outside bushcrafting" more attractive to me. He also bought me a rainbow colored knife and he guess he will look up that little Morakniv too (because i was amazed by it). I guess going bushcrafting as a girl doesnt mean that we have to give up on our colorful personalities. Seeing you with all your amazing purple and pink clothes and stuff is awesome and i'm happy you're doing this. Looking forward to your next video 💜 greetings from Germany 💜
Congratulations on making your own amadou, welcome to the club! This is a prehistoric skill, serious bushcrafting! I just let mine soak in the sunlight for a day, with ash and bash.
Hi Emelie great vid as normal. We call the fungus " horse hoof fungus" in the UK. We prepare it by drying it out well and only using the under layers. If dry enough it will take a spark from a flint.
Good stuff I enjoyed it as always. I'm going to try your primer cord weave thing this week. I'm going to look up your little lesson and give it a go. Thank you, Patrick Virginia Beach, Virginia USA
Horses hoof fungus...got that in my kit too. No need to necessarily prepare it...it can be collected and stored in a dry place and forgotten about and it dries out. Will then take a spark and solder as a thicker member, provided you cut thick chunks of it
Another fun video, and I learned something cool. I'll have to give that a try at some point in the future. Actually that looked like a good place to hang out and enjoy the sun and birds, too bad you didn't bring a hammock those trees behind you could've worked out well for chilling out once a little trimming was done. Keep up the good work!!
Emelie, I would say that you happily suffer from the same mania that I do and it is called pyromania. But, hey, at least we can stay warm when needed, eh? Or cook a meal. Love that new knife of yours. Not sure what type of fungus would work here in the states though. But, char cloth is always a great starter resource and cotton balls as well. So, thanks for sharing and have fun!
May i make a suggestion. Instead of making fire in a glove, use a small square piece of leather, that way you won't burn your hand and its much easier to transfer to your fire lay. Phenomenal job by the way, new to your channel but looking forward to watch more of your stuff
I enjoy watching your video. Thanks to you, I came to know about Mora Knife and bought some ; 1 companion, 2 companion heavy dutys, 1 eldris. They are a little more expensive here in Korea. I like them By the way, hoof fungus is used as a medical herb in Korea, nat as tinder.
I have had success by flattening the amadou and then fluffing one of the edges and smearing white wood ashes into the fluff. No water was needed. The amadou was extremely dry when I tried this method.
I have a suggestion for a bushcraft video. You are on a school outing with a class of kids 300 miles from nowhere, the bus breaks down and a blizzard sets in, how do you decide which child gets eaten first?
Woow nice Video Emelie! So nice to look at you while you make that fire. very educative. we should all go back to Basic and learn from it. today it is only Ipads and Netflix. now that I am much more outside myself, I just notice how nice it is. in September I will go to Norway again for 2 weeks. being a Tourist. LOL, just like in 2017, we will make a road trip but now only the south of norway. all of that can also be seen on my channel. hope to see you again soon with a nice video. Thanks and have a great day.
Great video Emelie, very good and instructional and you got me wanting to try the amadou ordeal now cause I have not tried it yet but living in the city its busy and time is always against me it seems to get out to the out in the hills part of the country, overall I enjoyed the video and good to see you again, take care girl.
Loved the bit about already knowing how to use matches or lighter so using them wouldn't be learning progress! Made me laugh anyway. :-) Great video as always.
I never thought I would use the words Pink and Camouflage in the same sentence, but Emelie proves you should never say never. Now you know what to wear if you need to hide in a Jackson Pollock museum. ;-)
It's a bit late now, but you told me to, so I'll comply. Regarding the tinder fungus (Fomes fomentarius), I don't know anything about its uses with flint and steel, but in its natural state, it will catch a spark from a ferrocerium rod. Not easily, but it will. It can also be prepared in the same manner as char cloth, which makes it a bit more likely to catch sparks. In fact, most, if not all bracket fungi can be prepared in that way.
Lovely.... I even would consider a puple Eldris! It seems they made it especially for you! Wilma, and is from sweden, makes a better flintsteel. This is softer carbon steel and easier to spark. I love mine!
8:33 And _that_ is why we subscribe. You show the process, even what doesn't work, as you learn. Much like Survival Lilly did in the beginning, before she began smooth editing and selling crap.
Good job! When the world falls apart and we all have to go about surviving the old way..bushcraft..you may be able to save my butt from starving with your skills. :) woo hoo! Good video...Thank you!
Not want to be your 'know it all', but please never ram your knive in the ground if you like to keep it sharp, and besides a lot of accidents happen that way by people walking in a knive like that. Nice information I learned something, i never made Amadou, but i going to try that. and keep the video's coming, glad you out again.
Thanks for the video Emelie. I've been debating whether to purchase the Mora Black Carbon Steel knife. I was wondering if you liked the knife enough to recommend it as a bushcraft knife.
Nice having you back! Wonderful job on the spark. Normally I see people striking the flint, not the flint off the spine of a knife. Good lesson! Did you get a new mic?
Good job! That was very quick! Do you like the knife for other purposes? Sorry did not watch sooner, we have been traveling and camping, so I'm a little behind on my videos.
you have hit the nail on the head with that one many times i have thought how the heck did they come up with this, or to this conclusion when there are so many steps hahahaha

I'm always smiling when I watch your videos. You are such a pleasant person.
My answer to " why" is always " why not" . If I can I will and if I can't I will try . That is adventure ! Love your videos .
Happy Mother's Day to Emelie and all the Moms out there!

Hi Emelie, nice job! That has to be a world record to catch a spark. It would have taken me all day! :)
Alright’ie you’ve captivated me with your flint expertise. I’m going to get some flint and steel and try my luck. Thanks for the encouragement.
You're making marvelous progress in acquiring the skills of our ancestors .... Kudos !
So good to see you again, always a treat the listen to you talking about your adventures!

You made that look deceptively easy. Thanks for the video.
Nicely done Emelie. The Garberg is an excellent knife and so is the Eldris, especially when you can get it in your favourite colour.
Love your videos Emilie keep them coming .I hope that now it’s warming up you can do more of your adventures
Hello Emelie. Not sure how I stumbled upon your videos, but I'm glad I did. I love your adventures. And learning about Sweden. My grandmother would sit me on her lap and sing, "Rida, rida ranka, Hasten heter Blanka. Vart ska vi rida? Rida sta och fria, Till en liten piga........
Nice work with the amadou, like both of your Mora's. Happy Mothers Day!
I do believe that the purple camo brings you the extra touch for fire making the pink camo will greatly increase your bow drill attempts the fire will not dare to disappoint the teacher . Good video have a nice day.
Well done Emilie. Making your own Amadeu is great. And it worked. Look forward to next video. XX
wow, you are seriously progressing! Nice knife,too. Have a Happy Mother's Day.
Emilie your videos always bring a smile to my face. Thanks for the joy. :D

Wow! Well done Emelie! Love your videos, I think it's amazing you processed your own amadeu! Greetings and lots of love from Ontario Canada
Thank you for another interesting and educational fun video. I always look forward to watching. Take care
Thank you for another nice video. Your videos are so natural and uplifting. Happy mothers day
So happy to see another video
Thanks Emelie, as always you do a great job with the videos, I thoroughly enjoy the topics you cover.😁
I love everything you did except holding the material in your hand.

And just like that, there's an ember...like a boss
That was a nice video :)

Happy (late) Mother's Day Emelie!
Love the new lil Mora Eldris... now I want one!
Good stuff Emelle, If you have birch you most likely have Chaga. There is no need to process chaga. Research it, I think you will like it.
Congratulations on making your own amadou, welcome to the club! This is a prehistoric skill, serious bushcrafting! I just let mine soak in the sunlight for a day, with ash and bash.
Hi Emelie great vid as normal. We call the fungus " horse hoof fungus" in the UK. We prepare it by drying it out well and only using the under layers. If dry enough it will take a spark from a flint.
Major improvement in fire starting Emily! Cheese board stabbing technique was pretty good too ... keep that knife handy for wine and cheese parties.
Good stuff! Just keep in mind that bow drill is going to be frustrating. Don't give up! Looking forward to following your adventures. Take care.
Good stuff I enjoyed it as always. I'm going to try your primer cord weave thing this week. I'm going to look up your little lesson and give it a go.

Great video Emelie.
I like your videos, so down to earth. You seem like an amazing person!
Horses hoof fungus...got that in my kit too. No need to necessarily prepare it...it can be collected and stored in a dry place and forgotten about and it dries out. Will then take a spark and solder as a thicker member, provided you cut thick chunks of it
Thanks for the video. Now I'm going to try and make some of that stuff.
Sweet. Love the pants
Another fun video, and I learned something cool. I'll have to give that a try at some point in the future. Actually that looked like a good place to hang out and enjoy the sun and birds, too bad you didn't bring a hammock those trees behind you could've worked out well for chilling out once a little trimming was done.

Hi Emily, give yourself credit, you have learned alot bushcraft. :))))))))))
I had never thought about using one of my carbon steel knives as a striker with flint.
I wish you would do a video all in Swedish. I love watching you speak Swedish.
You become very god in making fire's. good job Emilie.
Emelie, I would say that you happily suffer from the same mania that I do and it is called pyromania. But, hey, at least we can stay warm when needed, eh? Or cook a meal.

Love your videos and look forward to the next one you take care and enjoy your walk :)
Very well done !
So very interesting. Thanks for the information.
Purple, or Pink, good colors in case you lay your knife down. Contrasting colors make it easy to find on the ground.
Emilie.. Try charring the fungus like char cloth. I have seen it done and it works.
Great video Emelie, very good and instructional and you got me wanting to try the amadou ordeal now cause I have not tried it yet but living in the city its busy and time is always against me it seems to get out to the out in the hills part of the country, overall I enjoyed the video and good to see you again, take care girl.
Loved the bit about already knowing how to use matches or lighter so using them wouldn't be learning progress! Made me laugh anyway. :-) Great video as always.
Pretty impressive. Flint doesn’t give off as hot a spark as a ferro rod and you had an ember in seconds. 🔥👌🏻
Love watching your videos
I never thought I would use the words Pink and Camouflage in the same sentence, but Emelie proves you should never say never. Now you know what to wear if you need to hide in a Jackson Pollock museum. ;-)
Q: How can you tell the girly girls in Wyoming? A: They are the ones that wear the pink Mossy Oak
Such a sweet lady 😍 well done with flint and amadou

I`m glad you`re back! :) Goog job!
Good video Emile... Happy mothers day to you.
I've been wondering how to make amadou. I'll give your method a try. Probably on video.
I like my garberg. I have it in stainless though.
Nicely done Emelie
I want to get this knife now that it's on the market. I think I would like it better than the SS version.
Thanks for the video Emelie! :)
Just like a girl to get a knife that matches her pants ;-)
Keep having fun out doors.
Always enjoy your video.
Great job !
you just almost got me in trouble ha ha i started to fire up a cig in the house watching the video lol ,, im glad the suns back lol tc Emelie

Nice Video Emelie. Yes fire ban season here too In Norway. Well the scores on that round EMELIE 1 - Amadou 0.
Fantastic video
Hi. Good job, great video, fantastic your purple outfit. Congratulations.
Utmärkt, Emelie! Tack )))
Thanks for another great video. I am hooked on watching you. :D
Thank you for the video. I think I would like to try this. By the way I think your English is very good!
Awesome video Emelie. Have an great weekend. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden
Good job!
Emelie the pyromaniac .... :-D
