Thanks for the advice 😊

😂

Relax

I cannot generalize it but I never got stung when it was dry

Glad that you liked it =)

nice information, will try that =)

Please use in tin can or ashtray! Fire hazard! Don't cause a fire over a mosquito!! 🤢🤢🤢

@@user-no7yx3ib8j who said that i will be a fire hazard? you can see that i used something protectiv in the video

@@outdoorcraftandtech I don't know, who, wrote/said that.. It's the "lighted mixture of ground coffee & ground clove that's a fire hazard because of it's inate flammability. It can be reignited if mixed back up the leftovers, that didn't completely burn up. Unless it's in a glass, metal, or stone recepticle, & not under Adult Supervision, I'd still say " it's a fire hazard due to potential spontaneous combustion." It's because of it's being oil based. When ever I've used it. (the powdered coffee/clove mixture.) It's ALWAYS contained in a "Metal Coffee Can". And lit & maintained under Adult Supervision, up to & after the primary ignition has long after being extinguished.. And, it's not some ordinary plastic coffee can! But a BIG COFFEE CAN! (Bigger than Folgers!!) Then, in a tiny 2" metal relish jar lid, that's turned upside down, then filled with a little 1" pile of coffee & clove mixture, it lights, & is set deep into the bowels of a "really BIG coffee can"! 😉 I don't always promote flameable mixtures as insect repellent.. Infact, I never do! And never, really, have, accept for the "subject of mixing/combining 2 different components (ground clove & ground coffee as an incense for insect control.) I don't have a degree handling explosives like some military veterans I may know. And even they may say it's a flame-able-mixture. And should not be ignited without Responsible Adult Supervision. (Like I'd find camping!) But, anyone would know that..😉

it smolders more than it burns, you are right

@@outdoorcraftandtech straight out of a new Folgers canister I can’t even get it to smolder longer than 3 to 5 minutes and I’m lighting it with map gas torch. I got to be doing something wrong.

@@fuji8410 thanks for the feedback, you are right, you have to relight the powder over time

​@@fuji8410 take the coffee and spread it on a paper plate and let it dry for a few hours before you try and burn it

It is easier to roll the wheel without it. If you have cold hands or otherwise a los in dexterity you can still strike the lighter 😊

@@outdoorcraftandtech that is good to know!

?

@@outdoorcraftandtech I usally have a knife for eating, which I also use to sharpen my other knife.

@@justmarcoriginal how do you sharpen a knife with a knife? Seems interesting

​@@outdoorcraftandtech I usally scrape the end of one of my knives with a rock to make it rigid, then once it feels like a sharpening stone by touching it, I just use it as if it was one of those chef's sharpeners, do you do have to be careful not to cut youself with the other knife😅 It's a guerilla technique I learnt from my fathet.

@@justmarcoriginal seems interesting but also a bit cruel to the knife 😅 I guess in an emergency valid. But why wouldn’t you use the stone in the other knife to sharpen it directly?

My knife was relatively sharp to begin with and honing is the last part of sharpening to get a razor like finish 😊 So yes I sharpend my knife with the fungus

A Single Chip wouldn’t keep you alive but a fire might, you can Safe more calories by being warm 😊 but I can understand your point of view, if possible use other fuels/firestarter 😅

😅 yes, would only recommend to be doing this in a emergency if you need a fire and don’t have another method to strike the firesteel

The problem with using the spine (of the small an the big blade) is that they are round and the blades fold if you apply pressure to the spine. You would have to fixen the blade in some way 😊

This is just for emergency purposes and further just a demonstration how to use a firesteel when you only have a blade with a round spine. Should never be your go to if you have other strikers

Agree that it is knife cruelty 😅 but I wouldn’t call it nonsense. I just wanted to show how you can use a firesteel if you only have a knife with a rounded spine.

Thanks for the advice 😊 Did that in a few other Videos. I Like moving the knife more, somehow it feels more natural, but for a smaller tinderbundle your way is better 😊 HNY as well 🥂🎉

Like it is written in the Title 😅

@@outdoorcraftandtech Sorry, I read the first title only. My bad.

No problem, it can happen. But maybe you should consider how you react in the comments. Nothing is won with a snarky or passiv agressiv comment. =)@@dr.suryanarayanan9256

Understandable 😅 but it was very easy to resharpen the blade 😊

You are probably right that you would have other tools at you if you already carry a firesteel.

You are right but you just need a simple stone to sharpen it 😅

Thanks 😊

No self respecting woodsman or Outdoorsman would ever just carry a Swiss Army knife alone, it is limited by it’s size and design. It’s fine to have one with you cuz it’s still a valuable piece of kit, but I definitely would pair it with a solid fixed blade and an Axe or Tomahawk to round out the toolkit. Kephart, Nessmuk, and Kochansky swore by that setup.

@@TheMoose126 I think it is very nice to go out with all you favorit tools, but sometimes it is fun to experiment with different setups and limiting yourself to just small tools like a SAK. My preferred setup is a fixed knife and a saw instead of an axe. A saw is more energypreserving and a good blade can do small tasks that you would use a hatchet for.

This doesn’t Realy wreck the blade. You just have to resharpen it. But if you got alternatives to using the blade that would be the go to 😅

Couldn’t have said it better myself

😅

Nice way of usage 😊

what do you mean, sadly i dont understand what you are saying

Agree

You pretty much wait that the can stops burning (woodgases). Than you can take the tin of the fire und plug it to prevent the burning of the coals

Thank you Master. I will make charcoal with your reference.

I tried many ways, but didn’t try the awl, thanks for the input 😊

@@outdoorcraftandtech you’re welcome :)

If you check on my other videos you will see that i tested more possibilities to make a fire with the knife. This is more to show that you can use a pocketknife that doesn’t have anything else than a blade

Перевести руссий

Shouldn’t be done as a go to, but it is a possibility if you got nothing else than a blade without a 90 degreespine.

I agree the saw is the go to, but I tested more possibilities to make a fire with a pocket knife. If you don’t have anything than a blade this is how 😅

How did you cut yourself? 🤔

@@outdoorcraftandtech my blade bent while wedging it. Maybe not full locked but I remember it

Why not?

Hey 👋

Valid opinion. The problem is that most small thing can be wet. Batoning is used to get to the dry center of a log.
