thanks for watching !!!
Don't forget to thumbs up everyone
Thanks for making such fun content!
Hi Blackie. Greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thankyou for your time to make these videos.
Thanks blackie, any bush craft information you haves much appreciated.👍
Good tips. Keeping a small bag of sticks for coffee fire is a cool idea.
Good practical wood gathering and campfires. 😊 Thanks and take care Blackie😊
Don't forget lighter pine stumps. If they're available, they can usually be pulled up or they're laying on the ground. They burn extremely hot and a very long time. Not ideal for food over direct flame but for warmth and ease of lighting cannot be beat imo. Thank you Blackie
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Blackie, the wisdom of the old timers is something we should respect and treasure!
Excellent information and a big thumbs up.
Siberian fire lay for a medium fire gives also a good amount of heat & extends that “hour fire” for cooking meats as you mentioned. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Blackie Thomas 😊 Greetings from Norway
Getting back to the basics. I still use the lessons I learned in the Scouts. A Camp-O-Ree would sure clean up all the downed wood for miles around. 😄
This is definitely going into the field notebook.
Good video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Like that leather thing holding your scarf. Is that just a leather disk with a stitch holding the edges together? Well that's what mine will be anyway.
Hey Blackie- very good points here for the beginner or anyone for that matter. I cant tell you how many times I have watched someone try to start a fire and struggled because the wood was too big. Also, it is always a good idea to collect resources as you go if you have space or you can collect and store in a certain location. Thanks for the video. BTW- thats a cool German field shirt you have there. Be safe out there-
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your adventures and your wood lore
Blackie, Great Video and Outstanding Information. The Old Boy Scouts ways still work great. Thanks For Sharing Your Time and Knowledge and Wisdom and passing on the craft. You Are The Master Woodsman and Bushcrafter. You are doing a outstanding job. Tim L.
Excellent topic for new to it folks
Brilliant at the basics is what it is, for a reason. Strong fundamentals to build your house from with more and more rooms
Hay there blackie I was hoping you might be willing to do a video about using a single shot, shotgun and a black powder adapter??? And what size round ball to use lFor a beginner just getting started with it all??? Thanks so much for all your help 😃
i was told pill bottle size for hand D battery size for knifing and peanut butter size for saws or axes! on a long fire you can put blocks in to keep logs from rolling on you drive a couple stakes in or a couple big rocks between you and the fire!
Thanks Blackie
Fires smaller you can use the better…Less is more…Have fun stay safe.
Great Video! I am glad you reminded us of what some of us forgot. I struggle with what small stove to bring, but I leave out the simple fire where it is allowed. Thanks Blackie!
Find two thick live trees with a V shaped gap between them as large as the wood to wish to break up and use the longer the lever you have the more force you have to brake it . I have used this to snap up to 3 in. thick wood. Makes a lot of noise however if you need a big fire with no tools It works. Be careful not to injure your self as the piece of wood gets smaller and more force is needed to snap off a length.
"A Bear Did Cocaine"🤣 what's the world coming to? Thank Blackie for making real life videos on real life living.
You could also say something about putting the fire out. I saw too many guys wasting whole canteen or a bucket of water while the coals are still burning inside. my way is to rake the coals first, then cover bottle neck with my thumb and make a slow 'shower'
Excellent lesson, as always! 😎 Thanks!
I'd point out as well, the small bundles won't produce much smoke either.
Good advice Blackie.
Love the videos. 🏴👍
Good video Blackie , thanks for sharing , God bless !
You can get a lot of wood by breaking it by hand, the heel of your foot, breaking it by hitting it against a tree or between two close trees. What is called a Siberian fire was called a long fire while I was growing up. Might have been because my grandfather was born in Sweden. Not to mention that is how grave diggers thawed the ground in winter at least in areas where the frost only went down a couple of feet. In the far north, they wait til spring.
Right I can build an all night fire with no knife, saw or axe just fine as long as no one's been through there and burnt up all the wood on the ground already.
It's staying in the same spot for awhile that's when I need the saw and axe.
@@edgarburlyman738 These have to talked about as there is gap in peoples knowlege for almost 30 years. If they didn't have someone to teach them then they are lost. Look how many have never heard of common rock bands of the 70s. I went to a metal working class a few years ago. There young men who did not know what a file was or to use it. The instructor did not know how to change the blade on a bandsaw. I quit because I hoped to renew some skills not do the teacher's job and not get paid for it. There is also the problem of people cut and pasting from the internet instead of problem solving on their own. It will take time and guys like Blacky to steer them in the right direction if they really desire to learn.
@@57WillysCJ Yeah the between two trees thing works great for something too big to break otherwise. Also setting the middle of it in the fire and letting the fire cut through it.
Great information
Squaw wood
Great video…. Thank you
I guess I'm privileged when it comes to making fires.
I remember one summer night, after a winter with lots of freezing rain. We had no flashlight but all we had to do is touch something wood and we could just rip it off, sometimes whole limbs. I even rooted a tree the size of my calf at ground level. We must have burnt the equivalent of a cord of wood that night making bonfires. We even repelled a light rain for a good hour. The story ends with a sleeping bag that's steaming like a smoke fire on a branch.
Lol my unfavorite time for camping gathering wood lol
Are you still doing videos for the MasterWoodsmans series?
I DID collect 3 - 5 inch Diameter wood with nothing but my hands! I would pick up a down tree and wack it against a bigger tree or big rock or between 2 big trees. All about 3 feet long.
I will pray for him
Where did you get your shirt? I like it!
Thanks for sharing. I've never tried a long fire or Siberian fire. Would like to try the Siberian.👍🔥🪵
