It's all about the tinder. And having your next ingredients you kindling and prepping for the next stage. Great video as always. Our thumbs in our fire along with our will and our spirit and soul made humans different. Thank you for the intellectual Content and practical knowledge

Great video dustin!
Thanks
Didn't know about the empty lighter trick, that's a new one for me 👍 Did you ever try the battery/gum wrapper method? Not that I carry batteries and gum, but it's a fine party trick as well :)
You're right with what you said, I've always been interested in bow drill and hand drill fire starting, but never attempted it. After watching this video I think I'm finally going to change that.
Thank you sir. ✌️😎
Thanks bro👊
I have use hand sanitizer on the end of a toilet paper makeshift match. Lit with old lighter, takes a bit at times. Old Bic lighters I keep the most of for emergency purposes. I have been inspired to get a fire stick and now playing with it and love it.
Hey Bushcraft; I have always enjoyed everything you have done, &, I have seen so far! You always explain everything, simple, Plain, n Clear! Din't know bout-dead-shrooms. 🤔🍄, Thank's for sharing these Fire Tips for us! GBU.,SM.,NZ., ✌♥️😁🙏🤗😎🔥
Another banger 👌🏻 got to try the ashes and cotton wool

Respect BushCraft am enjoying my fire lighter bro one love 👊🏾👊🏾
Great tips.
Its a good idea to always carry alcohol wipes anyway because they can help clean a cut or wound, or for cleaning glasses and fire making. store in a tiny credit card sized plastic bag in your wallet, every man carries a wallet.
I like poplar for bow drill sets.
Thank you for sharing 💞they have sent 3 days in a Roundhouse for me to view next 🤣 love it don't know how many times I have watched it definitely doing again love all your uploads the content is awesome the beauty of nature included within them is much appreciated, I can't get enough of the respect an Love you and Amber share ❤What a wonderful beast she is❣Thank you for sharing 💞
Thanks Elsa 🙏
This was a well thought out and informative video
Melvin was lookin good!🤗
GREAT VID/INFO
Thank you for this valuable information😊
Thanks. Hadn't seen the lighter and hand sanitiser tricks before.
Loved the video thanks for all the useful info
Thanks for watching 🙏
I don’t know if it’s already been said, but a cotton ball soaked in petroleum jelly makes a good fire starter and will burn long enough to ignite kindling. I lit my first successfully using a ferro rod. I now have a ziplock bag full of them whenever I go camping.
Thanks for the video(s). I always learn a lot!
Awesome and epic video as always thank you so much for making it ❤️👍
Awesome video my friend you can show anything and about show them how to make a great shelter of any kind that will protect you from bad weather with a small fire in it
Great video with some great alternative modern ways (empty lighter). I always start with explaining the fire triangle since most attempts are failing due to not preparing properly and/or not understanding the fire triangle. It would make the video longer but in the fire by friction section I kinda miss the fire saw and fire plow. Both are easier on your hands than the hand drill and don't need cordage. I also miss the chemical fire for instance permanganate and glycerol. Steel wool and a battery is also a way.
Pyrite is a iron holding rock but hard to find. You need a flint harder than the pyrite. For flint and steel you need a steel with a high iron/carbon content aka carbon steel (some stainless steels will also give sparks) and it's the steel giving the sparks. The flint has to be harder than the steel. With a firesteel it's the firesteel giving much hotter sparks and you only need a sharp edge harder than the firesteel to create it. It does not matter if your knife is stainless or carbon steel or using some other material as long as it's harder and has an edge.
But overall a great video.
mushrooms cool!
Very useful..I commend you friend.
I always love your content... I'm a veteran here in the US and I get a lot of knowledge and ideas from watching your channel. You're an inspiring fellow, thank you for what you do!
Dry punk tinder and wood is the first step. Except for the hand drill And the cotton ash fiction fire I have been successful with all of these. Alcohol wipes can also create great tinder
Great tips🙂👍
Im crap at friction fires lol, only managed to do it once.
I get on much better with flint and carbon steel i usually use the back of one of my knives.
FIRE FIRE FIRE a nice friday video. Any over nighters coming up?
I have to go with the fire roll as the most interesting. I was already familiar with the technique but never tried it.
good job very helpful
Awsome! Thanks for your video!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks bro very helpful 🔥
Good job Sir
Yes!!! a great MORS KOCHANSKI tip, the more we know the less we carry!!!
I haven't been successful with the hand drill never tried the fire plough or the fire thong. Done all the rest though.
Great video about fire techniques! I was really impressed by using the lighter as lighting material. Never seen that before. Definitely need to try it out!
I’ve used dead lighters as a spark source, never thought to use plastic scrapings from the lighter though… 👍
You can also use dryer lint to start a fire
youre awesome man!
THANK YOU 🙏
That cottonwool and ash is always fascinating. Never tried the bowdrill but must someday. Best use for that hand sanitizer is lighting fluid lolz. 👍
I have done a verity of fire lighting methods including ferro rod, bow drill, and lens on a mushroom. Im currently working on making a flint and steel out of an old broken knife a friend gave me great video
Thanks for watching 🙏
Thanks Dustin for this informative video. 👍😁
I always bring a little bottle of hand sanitizer like you and I put a few drops in my tinder bundle and drop my amber next to it. Works great. Thank you for the history and fire starting lessons.
Enjoyed watching very good info that could really save to your life for sure cheers dustin
I've done the hand drill method a few times, with some success. I can't seem to get a bowdrill to work though, weird:)
Wow, so impressive, I especially loved the hand gel trick ❤️❤️🔥🔥
Top Dustin.🔥🔥
Merci
i enjoyed this video very much! thank you
Hi Dustin, how are you pal? Another great video 👍 are you back from your holiday & did you find any gold? I hope you had a great time & that you did 😀🤞👍take care & stay safe my friend 🙏😀👍 Namasty
Love making fire.
Add some rust dust to wadding with powdered ash.
Then roll under board watch it move to fire fast.
Also don't forget the classic steel wool 9 battery volt glow ball no fail fire starter from most radios.
Thank you for the very good information.
Hey knackers, hope all is well. I'm still loving the fire piston I got from you a few years back. Not sure why you don't include that in the vids, even the primitive ones, where it all started. Great video and loved the in-depth pics and explanations for each. Thanks.......Damon from Australia.
Thanks bro 🙏
Like dado.
Great video. Like yo know more about the different mushrooms for fire
Great Video. Any chance on doing a product review of our Firestarter?
very instructive video, i use reed cobs with ash, works quite well, provided you camp near reeds 😁
You can light duct tape pretty easily too, even if it's pissing rain. Around these parts, though, the object is to light what you want on fire whilst preventing what you don't want alight from catching on fire. What I've done is to always carry a basic lighter if I'm just out and about in the city and to wrap some duct tape around my lighter, my hand sanitizer, my eye drops, etc. If I know I'm going camping, I carry all of that plus a few extra lighters, including a wind resistant one because I know from experience that it sucks to hike to the top of a mountain only to find that you can't light your joint due to wind. I eventually did light it but I damn near had to light my shirt and my pack on fire because I had to crowd them in to block the wind. God help you if you had to light an actual survival fire in such conditions. Always carry something that will work in your pockets. That's why god gave us pockets. lol
Which is why you see duct tape wrapped around lighters in many bushcrafter's videos. There's also the Ranger lighter which utilizes bank line attached between a lighter and chapstick by ducktape (both being flammable) and bank line.
I would like to see you make a pump fire drill
❤️
😍
One more option is making fire with sparks out of a battery short circuit using iron wool or metalized paper of candies wrap.
👍👍👍
mantap
I really like using flint and steel, but where I live a lighter is sometimes required due to extremely wet conditions.
have you ever tried using camera len alcohol wipes to start a fire, just to see if it works
Ehlow!!!!🦌💩 Works great!! Dried moss works. I think when procreating they realized rubbing 2 sticks together makes warm. I'm not jowkeeng!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Well maybe a little bit, but, if you have to follow the thought process of the time 🤣 Today is my day of birth. Getting new glasses. Nothing really exciting. Eating leftovers from Thanksgiving 🦃🥧🍁🍎✝️🙏💜 Cheers!✌️😎👍
Yes I have. I stlll remember the adrenaline rush of my seasoned wood chips finally catching. It was absolutely a right of passage.
First a juniper board and chokecherry spindle, wouldn't go past a bit of smoke.
Then I tried the chokecherry spindle and a honey locust board and boom!
I drilled a hole in a piece of obcidian as a weight.
I took a rasp and made a spiral going up and down the spindle to better spin. I found waxed hemp worked better than dental floss. Spined together for extra grip.
Poplar cambium is more flammable than paper and took the spark to succeed nearly every time. Otherwise dryer lint worked just as well.
You have to keep the spark actively smoking for a minute or so. The dust spark needs to be dense. Similar to a cigarette.
The best tinder nest is seasoned wood shavings from wood working.
I had an unlimited supply and variety from building bows and arrows . the type didn't matter much.
Know that everything wood must be carefully seasoned and prepared, that's the biggest key to any fire success. Friction or otherwise.
There are a lot of different textures and forces at work to learn.
I basically took a 3 day rest from bows and put myself through it. Finally got it and a recipe down.
👍
battery/steel wool or petrol/light-bulb, aluminum soda can, friction trough (movie Castaway)
Battery and steel wool is always a good one👍
What happened to the gold 🥇 I take it there was none 😪😪
Long story.... to be continued!
I love bow drill. Hand drill i tried and almost cried. Bow drill i managed to get ambers 2 or 3 times. The one time i was too much in an hurry so i didnt have a proper birds nest my hand felt that hot amber! I immediatly dropped the nest. Then about year ago my father got a coconut which layed here until expired.. so i used the hair of coconut to make nest which i ignited with ferro rod. Boy that was lots of smoke i inhaled but i got the flames oh yeah!! I also started fire with sanitizer and ferro rod. Fire with vaseline cottonbol and ferro rod. You must see how bad my ferro rod looks!!! Thats from trying i dont know how many times till i got tips on you tube. Theres 2 methods on friction fire which very few youtubers actaully show. Thats where you would use a split bamboo theres an old gentelman that makes fires like that cant remeber channel name. He also the 1st guy i saw the fire roll. I must still practise with magnifying glass. Get flint and steel. Theres also a different modern method a magbar and steel. Where you have a magnesium bar and you scrape a few shavings then igmite that. Its
Ötztaler Alpen are located in Austria not switzerland as it is shown with a picture of the Matterhorn!
Now throw in a heavy rain:)
I find the best time to have a fire is in the rain

My problem is I can start a fire but I have a hard time keeping it going.
Survival tactics? I just wanna burn stuff!
Man has only recently boiled water to purify it.
Pyrite on pyrite was used far longer then any other method.
Use of Amadeus is very limited in range and therefore not that common.
So one thing is clear. Tinder is useful and revolutionary in hands of a primitive rational man.
It's a good video, however, there's a major flaw here. The "bow drill" was barely used in ancient times. The oldest oneS are also friction by fire but without any cordage. One of them consists of rubbing between your hands a vertical straight shaft onto a flat piece of wood. The other one is very similar but it's pushing back and forward a straight pole at an angle onto a flat piece of wood with a groove. Those two methods are the two oldest ones we know of. The third oldest one is using flint stones. Those three dates way back to the "caveman". As for the bow drill, it's very new and just a century old or a bit more mostly.
FIRE ROLL
This is sad to see that you didn't give credit to the one who popularized this on CZcams, and most certainly where you got that from. So I'm going to fix this. The very first Fire Roll on CZcams is from David West 7 years ago when he did it with rust. He did it again a bit later with rust and jute.
And again with paper towel and ashes. His name is David West and he has a channel on CZcams.

Nice script
Best wood for bowdrill fire lighting is black wattle. I live in Australia where this wood is quite common. I’ve used it dozens of time times.
Impressive video. :D
Thank you 😊
