Don't give up Bushcraft is a journey and the hardest part of any journey is the first step and you've already taken that. Keep at it you are doing great and as you learn more and hone your skills you will enjoy it more and more.
Yes yes yes !!!! been looking forward to seeing you again and was not disappointed , you have been missed , hope to see more of you and your videos soon. Lots of love xx
Great to see you back Emelie. Good video, and yes, you are learning, and learning well. I've got a tip for the teacher: Cut some fatwood sticks to pencil thickness, take along a pencil sharpener and make some nice thin shavings. They should take a spark well, you could add another thin stick or two of fat wood and you have what you need to get a fire going. If you prefer, make the shavings at home and store in a container, take it along when you go out into the woods.
Glad to see you're back. I have enjoyed following your adventures in learning bushcraft as well as you giving an education of your part of the world. Thanks for sharing. atb from the US. Bill
I find it interesting that you are creating a learning movement. Bush craft learning! And a following is accumulating. I think it's your personality and your looks that are the major factor. Top marks for effort!
Your excitement and reaction remind me of someone who sees things new and for the first time and that has an innocent heart full of surprise. It's good to see you again. I missed you and your vids.
Well done you...lot of learning still ahead of you, but you've finally got the hang of the fire lighting and are no longer afraid of putting a little force behind it! Don't you dare give up....you can do this! You keep practising...and the innertube.....better. to light it with a lighter...then hold it up with the flame at the bottom and then when it's really going, then add it to your kindling. Very proud of you lady. Best wishes
It is great seeing the learning process and a great sense of humour. I love watching these videos with my daughter always try to take her into the woods and experience the great outdoor. Please don't stop making videos. Show us more of Sweden too
Hello Emily Try scraping cuttings from the firebridge carefully before you strike the spark. This gives you more heat at the point and can ignite something coarser material. Alternatively, you can also, for example, from the wood / fatwood with the knife back a fine wool scraping Otherwise really great what you do Very sympathic! Greetings from Berlin
Hi Emelie! So glad to have you back! OK, the best thing to keep in mind for the feather sticks, bark and any "natural" tinder really is this: LOTS of sharp edges, thin pieces and fluff/dust. You nailed the dust on the birch bark perfectly to get it going, well done. With the juniper bark, a bit more processing might help, pull the bits apart till they are really thin and then rub them in your hands to break up the pieces to get them "dusty", this way you are making lots of edges to catch the sparks. On the feather sticks, if they are the primary tinder, the feathers have to be a mix of paper thin feathers and thicker feathers, one to catch the spark and the other to sustain the flame. It just like splitting wood to get to the dry stuff on the inside, the sharp edges catch the fire. Large flat smooth surfaces do not, generally. Like when you tired to get the flat piece of rubber to burn, it did not. If you cut the inner tube into thin (less than 1 mm) strips and pile them up, then use the same fire steel technique you showed today, just with a bit more rapid and continuous strikes, like in a pumping motion (you have to build up the heat of the medium continuously, like with a bow drill, the heat has to build up), most things should catch fire unless they are simply too wet. You are making such great progress it is fun to watch! Keep it up!
you crack me up. American slang for you make me have a good laugh. I think what I like is your so willing to give something a try. and if it doesn't work your like moving along ha ha your a free spirit stay that way.
I missed you young lady good to see you back. I'm not sure you should be having so much fun alone in the forest. So glad your smiling face is back and your cute accent. Love it when you speak your own incomprehensive tongue. You certainly roll your Rs. I hope you have been well.
Glad to see you back Emelie. Your accent and listening to you speak English is great and super entertaining. Your not bad to watch either, hehe. Smaller feathers on them feather sticks are needed for sure. You can also take the spine of our knife and scrape the wood to get some fluff that will catch.
+Emily Learning Bushcraft - Very nice presentation and a charming presenter - makes for a mood-lightening experience all around. Your skill with the fire steel has improved a great deal. You said the feather sticks were "not fluffy enough," - you hit on a key point there. When it comes to using fire steel to ignite tinder; "fluffy"dry tinder is by far the best for catching sparks and reliable ignition. Very nice to see you back on your channel with a new episode. Maybe one day you will take us along for a bushcraft overnighter in the Swedish woods. Absolutely love your fluffy hat! Best wishes and cheers!
Liked the video Emelie, just a suggestion: Try using the back of the knife to scrap very fine shavings along with the other feathers, its much easier than using the blade of any knife for the finer stuff. Its all trial and error we've all been there (and still learning myself)
Hi Emelie I haven't read all the comments so I don't know if this has been mentioned, but keep some lip salve in your kit and smear it on your tampon and only partly fluff up the tampon. This then gives you a longer burn time instead of the flash tinder tendencies of cotton wool, learn and share and keep up the good videos
Girl you have impressed me. You are so resourceful in the woods. Plastic sealed tampons are very handy for the EDC bag. I think that I need a bigger ferro rod too. It seems easier to handle.
Good to see you back! I really like how you get excited when you have success it is very good and makes me smile! Keep it up Emelie and keep having fun.
As said, you just need to have a square, flat, or triangle metal rat tail file, and it will create a massive spark shower. FIle at the endof ferro rod, not along the side. Will make you a fire-blazer in seconds! Watch Lars on YT Survival Russian and his birch bark foot-shaped firetinder starter - works great. Rat tail file also scrubs up rubber tire dust for easy fire starting.
I might have to retract (or refine) my statement ... based upon American (CHINESE crap) ferro rods here (Couglins). I have bought 3 different metal files, ... a point file (contact point corrosion, very fine abrasion), regular 6 inch fine file (moderate rasp), and a 3 inch (moderate rasp). All I can get from them is minimal sparks, and just "filing" down the ferro rod end (!!!!). I can scrape the point file (3 inch x 1/4 inch like a scraper along the rod and get a few tiny sparks. The actual product-provided scraper makes as many puky-sparks as Emelie does with her gear. A true ferro rod, like a bic lighter striker, and the small ferro rod "flint" inside makes a s-load of sparks. One needs the proper QUALITY !!!! ferro rod and a truly rough-surface scraping rat tail file, and then you will make the same ton of sparks. But having a true metal file, makes it a multi-purpose item for an EDC item for many other uses as well, versus a one-purpose ferro scraper.
Good to see you back ... welcome 'home' ... none of your attempts to start a fire were really a failure at all . You demonstrated that your kit contains many ways you can achieve ignition and start a flame. Anything else, whether it is birch bark, tyre tube/Ranger bands, feather sticks,fatwood, can all be used to develop the fire and serve as pseudo-accelerants. Add a little pot of vaseline to add to some kindling material and you have a means of applying an accelerant. Add a small bottle of baby oil and that can be a means of turbo charging a flame in wet material.
Great to see you back on the screen Emelie! Really enjoyed the many different tinders you were using for fire starting. I hope you never give up bushcraft as your videos are a lot of fun enhanced by your fantastic sense of humour 😀
Always enjoy getting a new video of yours. You are entertaining to watch. You seem to get good video shots of what you are doing at the time and the sound is always very good. I hope I punctuated correctly since you are a teacher. Lol. Always a thumbs up. Thank you for sharing.
Yaaaaay. I"m so glad to see you back. Hope all is as well as can be! Great video. Really missed you and your videos! "a burning "tampoon."" funny! I dont know if you have loons there, but I would think you would have called in a few with your excitement upon lighting the birch bark...I say that in good humor not to criticise.
Thank you for posting this video! It makes me so happy that I am not the only person who is not good with firesteel. I've come closer to starting a fire with the magnifying glass on my Swiss Army knife than firesteel! At least I burn holes in leaves with that! And everyone who shows how is perfect with firesteel.
As a American, I find you to be a very funny person! (SHAR-TAMPOON)!!! I have the new Mora Kansbol, I like it so much it stays in the kitchen! Great to see you back!
So glad that you are back. I have missed you. :) One thing i have in my Go Bag that i do not want to be without is a small bottle Alcogel, superb as help to ignite the tinder material and of course the sanitary use. Weighs almost nothing and take no place and last very long when it only needed a small drop to catch a spark. "Must have in my bag" :)
Carry a tampon (not tampoon) for fire starting. Carry a menstrual pad for large wounds. Absorbs blood really well, obviously. Carry non-lubricated condoms for water storage and keeping things dry.
I prefer the Mora Pro S. The Eldris is just too small for me, but it is about what works for you. The Pro S. doesn't have a 90 degree spine for fire starting, but mine has been modified to have a 90 degree spine. I will do a video on it sometime. It's nice seeing you back on. I was wondering if you were coming back. Keep up the good work. ;)
Great video -- it's nice to see you back. The Juniper bark looks too course to ignite from a spark. Break it down further by rubbing between your hands, and tearing it apart more. 1-2 minutes of work should make enough difference. The feather sticks were also too course. I give that a C-. (Do I grade too easy?) You are on the right track, but need to work on the details. Take your knife and cut the feathers the long way into 4 or 5 smaller strips, as many as you can manage. Spread all those smaller feathers out, and try again. That might not be enough - but it will help. As a general rule, all tinders need to be VERY small to catch from a spark. Think about the relative size of the fluffy cotton, or the birch bark scrapings, and then compare that to the Juniper bark or the feather sticks.
Good to see your back. Wow that Mora jumbo steel combo works for you.. It was only a matter of time until you found what worked for you. Keep it up.. looking forward to burning rubber.. Not sure what all the bloods going to be about.. but I'll stay tuned!
Maybe try all of the tinders on a piece of birch bark. Then this would be easy to pick up and blow on. That would make it easy to transfer to a prepared fire pit or log platform (upside down fire). There is two other types of fire tinder popular here in America. First is dryer lint. Lint collected from the catcher after drying your laundry. Very fluffy and very combustible, also super light. Essentially free and can ber carried in a small plastic bag or altoids tin. The second is cotton balls.Their used a first aid or medicinal item here or for applying or removing makeup. Using a double boiler dip cotton balls into hot, liquified petroleum jelly (vaseline). Since I don't want petroleum jelly in my food I use something disposable like a soup can for the vaseline. Fluff up these cotton balls and the light with a flint and steel.
I just bought the same knife in red also and love it for the bushcraft carving and fire making aspects that it affords! I didn't go through the comments to see if anyone gave you any feather stick advise, but perhaps they were a bit too thick to catch a spark that would flame up. I have found that thinner shavings work best when making fire this way. Hope to see you soon even though you didn't have your handcuffs on! ; )
If you scrape the fat wood with the spine of the knife you will get a pile of fluff the size of a silver dollar and that will catch fire East then you can use your feather stick to increase your fire, your feather sticks and a little bit thick they work better when they are very fine. Good work and practice makes perfect. 😃
Excellent video. I wish my teachers had the same philosophy about having fun while learning that you demonstrate. It is encouraging to see someone going along the same bushcraft learning that I am hopefully progressing along (where not every experiment gives the intended results). Regarding your feather sticks; think lace instead of denim when creating them, the more delicate the better. Please keep with your videos coming as time permits.
Hey, Really fun to watch your vid. Also I felt happy when you started to speak Swedish names of things. Felt like sitting again at out friends place at Ål-killen or Sollerön. Cheers from Poland!
So nice to have you back. It shows that you have indeed been practicing. Well done.
Really great to see you back and having fun.. Always a great pleasure to watch and to learn from you.
Glad to see you are back at it Emelie. Don't ever give up the channel girl. Practice makes better in the world of Bushcraft.
Don't give up Bushcraft is a journey and the hardest part of any journey is the first step and you've already taken that. Keep at it you are doing great and as you learn more and hone your skills you will enjoy it more and more.
I enjoy your videos and find you delightful. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Love listening to you.
you are great, I think we started bushcraft at the same time but you are progressing much faster thank you for the help.
Yes yes yes !!!! been looking forward to seeing you again and was not disappointed , you have been missed , hope to see more of you and your videos soon. Lots of love xx
I was just saying to myself yesterday, "Where's Emelie?" I miss your videos and hearing your voice. I'm happy that you're back.
I was wondering the same thing just yesterday :D
Blind Survival Oh thank you! I told people on my official Facebook page that I would be quiet for a while, but now I'm back :)
Emelie Learning Bushcraft Oh, I didn't know you had a Facebook page. What's the name of that page?
Blind Survival Emelie learning bushcraft ;) ;)
Emelie....we don't all have Facebook... okay ?

I like it that more beautiful women doing bushcraft.
Definitely going to introduce this activities to my daughters
Good to see you are still having fun with learning bushcraft. Always enjoy your videos.

I find it interesting that you are creating a learning movement. Bush craft learning! And a following is accumulating. I think it's your personality and your looks that are the major factor. Top marks for effort!
Look at you getting all of those great sparks! Great job!! It's very good to see that you're still at it. Thanks for sharing your time with us.

Never Give Up. Just keep doing what you're doing, it's all good. Very enjoyable video's to watch.
Glad your still having fun!
Glad to have you back !!!!

Mariann Lumsargis Thank you for watching!! No its not easy with the firesteel, lol. Im better with flint and steel :)
Great video! Impressive burning tampooon!!! Mora more more!
great video!! glad to see you back at it!😁 hope all is well.
TheLankyWoodsman Thank you :) Everything is okey with me!
As a American, I find you to be a very funny person! (SHAR-TAMPOON)!!! I have the new Mora Kansbol, I like it so much it stays in the kitchen! Great to see you back!
Philip Lobrano Lol!! thanks!!
You are doing great... just keep trying.... glad to see a new video from you
good to see you back, glad you are doing better with the new ferro rod x
Mora makes excellent knives. I have the Gargerb. I am very pleased with it.
So glad that you are back.

Glad ur back! Good to see u trying the ferro rod again! This time it looks as tho u hv a much better one!
So happy to see you're back! Top work!
So glad your back...we where getting worried, thought you turned into a Popsicle...ha...!!

Glad to see you back!
Awesome video (as usual!)! Thanks Emelie!
Starting a fire with a tampoo... now that's original, funny and silly :p
Good to see your back. Wow that Mora jumbo steel combo works for you.. It was only a matter of time until you found what worked for you. Keep it up.. looking forward to burning rubber.. Not sure what all the bloods going to be about.. but I'll stay tuned!
That knife looks like it would be good for carving, and you are an excellent carver.

Hej, from the USA. Great video using the new Mora Eldris, I really want to get that knife to carry with the Garberg. Take care, Hedo!
LOL great to see you back and in such a great mood!!
Christopher Wade Thanks!! :)
Hi Emelie good to see you have come leaps and bounds with the fire steel. Good to see you again Jay
WildOutdoors UK Thanks Jay :)
really fun video. I am very happy you are back.
I was worried about you you didn't know what had happened. God bless glad to see you're ok
Great video, I love the swedish lessons.
I just bought the same knife in red also and love it for the bushcraft carving and fire making aspects that it affords!
I didn't go through the comments to see if anyone gave you any feather stick advise, but perhaps they were a bit too thick to catch a spark that would flame up. I have found that thinner shavings work best when making fire this way. Hope to see you soon even though you didn't have your handcuffs on! ; )
Nice vid, the spine of the knife can be used to make fine scrapings of dry hardwood or fat wood. The resulting powder is easier to ignite.
You are so much fun! 😊
Practice practice practice makes perfect 👍😋
+Stephen Gonzalez Thank you :)
You are making Excellent progress, Keep up the good work.
Glad You are Back. Great video👍🏻
That's a cute little Murakniv. I have their Mura Robust. Love that fat flintstone.
I always enjoy your videos. They are very informative.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge!
Tampoon ? Hahahaha love it.
I enjoy your videos. I plan on purchasing the Eldris soon. Thanks.
Happy Return to CZcams Beautiful Emelie !!!!!
good to see you back
thank you . you look and act like my douther. remainds me when she first started bushcraft with me. good luck.
+Christopher Montroy Thank you :)
If you scrape the fat wood with the spine of the knife you will get a pile of fluff the size of a silver dollar and that will catch fire East then you can use your feather stick to increase your fire, your feather sticks and a little bit thick they work better when they are very fine.
Good work and practice makes perfect. 😃
I love watching your vid's. You seem to be such a fun person, I would bet your students love you.
just fell in love with a swedish woman
wow glad to see you again from new York to Philippines love your video take care
Glad to see you back great video
I think you will have success with feather sticks, especially with fat wood, if you make them much finer shavings.
You are getting pretty good with the fire steel. Good job!
Good work...your throwing good sparks.
Excellent video. I wish my teachers had the same philosophy about having fun while learning that you demonstrate. It is encouraging to see someone going along the same bushcraft learning that I am hopefully progressing along (where not every experiment gives the intended results). Regarding your feather sticks; think lace instead of denim when creating them, the more delicate the better. Please keep with your videos coming as time permits.
Congrats on finding a Ferro rod that works for you. Cheers!
Emelie, Missed you, I also have the Mora Eldris.....not a bad little knife.....Good Video ty.
glad you are back. leo
Hey,
Really fun to watch your vid. Also I felt happy when you started to speak Swedish names of things. Felt like sitting again at out friends place at Ål-killen or Sollerön.
Cheers from Poland!
