Hi Becky. A tip for fire starting for you in one word, Straw. A plastic straw will work and weighs almost nothing. If you want a permanent straw just use a collapsable antenna from an old radio. No need to pay the price for the same thing they sell online just for fire starting. Remove the inner section, maybe 2, and you can then direct the air precisely with minimal risk to your hair when the flame starts.
I enjoy just watching you. There aren't many young women over here in the USA that are interested in these skills and today's society. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Danny, yeah there isn't many women these days who do bush craft :/
There aren't many women that want to get outside period now a days....
Awesome!..i love flint and steel..it becomes addictive once you get the hang of it!
For many excellent reasons Percussion Fire Ignition (aka Flint & Steel) was the dominant method for producing an ember in all weather conditions for the 5,000 years before matches and lighters superseded it.
The Ancient Egyptians, Vikings, Romans, Inuit, North American Fur Traders, and many other people groups across the millennia all relied upon F&S.
pure enjoyment, miss Harriet, you two make a great team.
you're a patient and thorough teacher. thanks.
I'm watching from the Philippines....
Nice job! I just started learning Flint & Steel as a second fire craft skill. Thanks for the video.
No apology necessary, I think you did a fabulous job.
Well done, learning some cool stuff.
Detailed and informative. Great job.
Happy to see you're back Becky! :) ...aaand loving the video..

Reminded me a lot of bundling a nest for Boy Scout competitions. Great job, and keep the outdoorsy skills coming!
Yea , Glad to hear you retrieved your boat & some of your gear, lesson learned.
Very well done. Bushcraft on!
Outstanding !!
I will be starting a fire with the magnifier on my Victorinox this season. I have so much planned. Been incapacitated nearly 7 years. Literally going to crawl back into the forest.
Good stuff miss Girl

Thank you :)
Good Job Becky. Keep up the good work.
It's nice seeing you grow with nature Becky
Good job, very great lesson and many thanks
Becky well done, another great little video.
I love this camping trip
Glad you have your camera back! Love the videos!
Thank you!
I have never seen it done this way. Thank you
Being prepared is everything, time taken up front reduces the time when needed 👍
Well done Becky. I've got to get out and practice more.
Ur amazing.. keep posting!! More
Great video Becky, you have the patience of a saint
Great vid very instructive very well prosented !
Thanks for another great vedio. A well prepared bird's nest is the trick.
Glad you were able to recover some of your things. I think I will try the solar method today. If it works out I may record it. Great job becky!!!!
ทั่งสวยทั้งเก่ง...ชื่นชอบคับ คุนทำได้ดีมากๆ
Beautiful day, great work as usual Becky. 😁
This is the first video I’ve watched that actually explains the birds nest with the different layers. It all makes sense now. Thank you!
Aw glad it makes sense, thank you
nice job,keep having fun
Becky as always love your videos my friend.
Thank you :))
this brings back some nice mamories
You did very well. Keep up the good work.
Another great video.
nice video Becky. And such a great spring day you were enjoying there. Still snow here.. lol We really enjoyed it and it's nice to see you sharing what you've learned and passing along the skills. And as you said ... The practice will give success, and as the number of successful attempts grow, so will your confidence. Then, when you have 'success' with every attempt in all kinds of conditions.. then, you have 'Mastered" the technique. Until that point we are students practising the technique.. mastery will eventually come with continued success. Thanks for sharing. Glenn & Maureen.
Thank you very much Glenn and Maureen :) atb
You are so cute and perfect videos!
Nice instructive video. Thanks
Que tal becky!!! Genial video sos una genia con las tecnicas para iniciar fuego te mereces todo mi respeto te felicito saludos?!!!
Excellent vid! Good beginner advice and practice makes better, your steps and stages advice were very clear to understand..... thanks for sharing your knowledge..👍🔥🌬🔥
Great video. I love lighting fires with flint and steel. fantastic work.
Thank you, ah nice
I've been binge watching your old videos and I love them... I've been watching your vids for about 2 years now and I just love the type of person you are and that you have a passion for this and that you love animals like I do ... keep doing what you do !
Thank you so much, means alot!
What a lovely person you are and very good with your crafting skills
Thanx a lot. I like these kind of videos from you. The best video from you was the one with the boy.
Thank you! aha cheers :)
I loved the video!
Awesome video! 😎
Great Video Becky!
Amazing!!
Jute twine is excellent for flint and steel but also Cattail down, Dried milkweed seed, dried thistle seed heads, Birch bark scrapings and Pine bark scrapings. Some places have something that grows on branches and when it dies it looks like hair dangling off the branch. I think they call it hang mans beard or something like that. It's supposed to be excellent for flint fire. All of these things light up easily with a ferro rod but you will have to practice with different techniques when using flint and steel. This was an excellent tutorial for beginners Becky. You were very thorough in your explanations. The comeback with the magnifying glass more than made up for the camera crash. It was like an advanced course. Hehe. So glad to see that your camera is back up and running and that you managed to get your boat and some of your gear back. Bravo! Awesome Video As Always! Thanks!
Thank you very much Casey, yes they are great materials for flint and steel, with have to give it a go with them. Aha thanks again, atb
Love to see you learning and growing in your bushcraft skills, it is refreshing to see our youth learning important skills .....keep up the great work Becky
