go have fun... just a thought... strap a couple of those $5. long Styrofoam noodles.. you can put a rope through them & they are great for keeping your boat from scratching on the beach... if strapped under your seats along both sides they will be out of the way and provide flotation for your craft should you flip.

Ian thank you for the suggestion. While I take care to not damage my boat I don't get too worked up about a few small scratches. I figure I built it so I know how to repair it.

I have used sawdust in the past, but will try with shavings too! Or even a mix of both. Thanks!

You are right. Cotton balls do work well, I have used them in the past but wanted to try something different.
@keithmoore53063 ай бұрын
use sawdust instead of shavings they'll squeeze out easier also add some charcoal lighter in the mix!! the stuff i do is sawdust and charcoal lighter no Vasolene and it works good with a ferro rod!! James Bender at waypoint survival did one similar using ashes and lighter fluid a while back if your interested in another version of it!
@thedosomethingguy3 ай бұрын
Thank you for the suggestions I will try that on my next batches. What is the burn time using lighter fluid?
@keithmoore53063 ай бұрын
@@thedosomethingguy it's similar time wise between 10 and 15 minutes but i never really put it on the stopwatch though once i saw it lit up easy burned hot and strong and lit a few test fires with it that was good enough to satisfy me and i stopped there. i'd stick with pine poplar and spruce sawdust they seem to work better than hardwoods and you definitely want to stay away from pressure treated stuff besides the arsenic and copper sulfate used being toxic they keep the sawdust from absorbing the fluid
@markweekes75743 ай бұрын
I think the reason mine doesn't catch with ferro rod is because I used hard wood, with the theory being it would burn hotter and longer. So many ways to "skin the cat."

What does Usining Bushcraft Tools mean ?
@thedosomethingguy5 ай бұрын
Thank you for the question. In the most basic form, using bushcraft tools would be using tools that were predominately made for the purpose of bushcraft work, wilderness survival, or wilderness living.
