Boy howdy is it ever a thing. We are loving it!

Thank you!

You are welcome! It was so much fun. I hope my sharing provides people with a chance to escape or even better yet, inspire them to go on their own adventures.

Thank you! I am excited for it to come out, the next one is the highlight of the whole trip for me!

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.

Thank you! When you do please share the results?!

You are right. Cotton balls do work well, I have used them in the past but wanted to try something different.

Thank you for the suggestions I will try that on my next batches. What is the burn time using lighter fluid?

@@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

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."

@@markweekes7574 possibly softwoods do ignite easier and certainly absorb better.

It was a ton of fun! Thank you for the kind compliment, Luke does a fantastic job with his videos and even better as a husband and father!

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.

I am not sure I could say it was smart but it was effective! Things got very sparkly if I went too fast! 🤣

@@thedosomethingguy Ya that was fun. Should start a challenge on how to not use a ferro rod but still start a fire! Lol

You know that sounds like a fun video! I will have to give it some thought and see what I can come up with.@@KnifeCrazzzzy

Most of my videos are shot on my phone and my wife's old phone.

No it is not. I have had fires that I thought I would never get started.

I agree!

Thank you. I love paddling it! It's fast and responsive.

I tell you, I was starting to get a bit frustrated but im glad I stuck with it. Happy New Years to you too!

I love duck hunting and will do it as long as I can! I sure miss Ann, she was an amazing dog.

Thank you Eric!

Thanks cousin!!! We had a blast! Can’t wait to do it again!

Let's make sure it isn't a long time before we go again!@@jayirby7747

Thank you for letting me know Kenneth. I had some audio problems on this video. I believe they are fixed going forward.

David, thank you for the comment. I believe the volume will be fixed in all future videos.

Thanks
