Thanks you for watching this video. In the meantime I have designed my own survival knife which you can find at my online store: www.survivallilly.at/shop Thank you so much for your support

[@Artoriouz1291]

Survival Lilly where do you buy the flint equipment??

[@TenOffline]

The flint is easy to buy in Europe, in US probably too. It's not an unusual stone. Here in Czech, most gift shops around cave complexes have them and specialised geology shops have them surely. It's cheap, just look. And for steel you can use almost any piece of steel or iron you find. People have invented various specialised designs for comfortable use.

[@paul-cristianmihai4431]

When using the firesteel, try to scrape by applying more presure, and next to the tip of your firesteel rod ; using half (or less) of your rod's lenght will prevent it from thinning out and breaking in half, or losing a large portion of it. Also, another way to use it is by keeping the striker motionless and the firesteel rod traveling (dragging it to you) - this would allow the sparks to reach the shavings/tinder/etc. without the risk of moving or touching it by accident (when striking the normal way). Hope I was able to express myself clearly, because english is not my primarily language and haven't used it for a couple of years :)

[@nate_thealbatross]

"One is none, two is one." Love it.

[@martyrobinson3566]

I had a buddy/co-worker once who used to light his pipe with flint and Tinder. He was a re-enactor at a classic outdoor museum. One day a guy asked him for a "light", he took out his flint and tinder and lit the cigarette with them. What a boss!! With a good tinder, creating a flame is no problem. He used charred cloth.

[@pianop1961]

Excellent video, as always lily! Here's a little tip. If you are running low on matches you can split them with your knife and get two fires from one match. If you have a book of matches you can peel them into two halves. This really helps extend your resources. I know this is not a method native to your area, but I love the bamboo saw method of fire starting! Thank you for all you do!

[@s10m0t10n]

Thank you for all the videos. I'm really enjoying them because they are well made, well thought out and informative without the high level of chatter that many contributors use. A picture is worth a thousand words and bushcrafters are practical people who often learn by watching a process, then doing it themselves. They don't always need a running commentary on everything they do, so your films of you enjoying the great outdoors are a breath of fresh air, in many ways. Please keep up the good work.

[@adriansandry2783]

Great video as usual. The ordinary cheap lighter is better than some may think. When the gas runs out the metal top can be removed and the hot sparks used to light hundreds more fires. If the lighter gets wet then you only need to put in in a pocket or inner clothing for a while and it will dry and work again, Many thanks for your helpful videos.

[@davidparry7006]

Great vid as always informative thanks for sharing

Very informative! Thank you!

[@MrKelso159]

I love your video's. They are so informative and you do them well. Great job !

[@semco72057]

The bow drill method was one of those taught to us in the Air Force, and the other was the use of the fire storm method which you used here. It is nice to know how to survive in the wilderness and each branch of the military here in the United States teach their personnel how to survive if stranded in a strange place.

[@toddcorley464]

Thanks Lilly --A great and very informative video. You have inspired me to start practicing and perfecting a few different methods of fire starting. Looks like great fun and very useful.

[@specialk5035]

Love your videos and your accent, I've learned some new tricks from you. That forest looks amazing. Danke schoon fur de videos, subscribed!

[@Tuxdaddy]

Great stuff Young Lady ! Thanks for sharing and spreading the knowledge.. I always enjoy you and dog, out in the woods.. Will have to keep an eye out for a lens similar to that.. I keep a couple of Fresnel lenses on hand usually but like having a nice glass handy as well..

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

One of your earlier videos here that I just found - it is actually quite good. Eventually I will catch up and view all of them. Nicely done - thumbs up!

Apple Stump Bushcraft Stuff and Thi

[@FishWaterBrewery]

I store all my fire making items in an altoid tin. The tin can be used to make char cloth. Contents on my metal altoid tin is, frenzel lense, lighter, charcloth, ferro rod, steel wool(steel wool will also take a spark and ignite) dryer lent, bits of wax string, extra cloth to make char cloth, the tin is secured closed with a large rubber band (can also be used for tinder). So in one small tin, approx. 1" x 2.5" x 4" I have several tinder options and fire starting options.

[@ryunin69]

Excellent video. Very informative, too. Looking forward to your next video.

[@MiroAcronymity]

Thanks for the video. Did you make the stormproof match yourself? What did you use for the igniting part?

[@AB-C1]

Another great video! Appreciating your work and passing on your knowledge, here in London England 👍

[@truelovelon]

Awesome video!

[@c-rod1403]

Wow. Great video, Lilly! Very good technique. I will try some of these the next time I'm outdoors, which is next week. :-) And love your dog too.

[@runeborgbjerg]

Great video :) Regarding spreading the fire your "birds nest": Your breath is very likely to be more moist than the air around you, so if it tends to not work, try generating the wind by waving it around.

[@jgreystoke]

Great vid, very informative. But this is what we have to come to expect from you:). Keep up the good work.

[@patreganauthor]

Great stuff - all very handy info...

[@kirbyrose4262]

Thank you young Lady for your very well done video!! My favorite method is the glass tis a shame it is limited by the weather....but we have all of the others! Great work!!!

Excellent tips

[@artesdomatojoaocarmo]

Great video!!!

[@nickhersheys2706]

A few more mentions. Zippo lighter and it's wind proof too. Perma-Match Fire Starter. It is a steel match stick dipped in lighter fluid and makes 13,000 lights and costs $2.99 at Amazon. Nice video. Keep it up Lilly.

[@Simplemansnature]

Very good and concise video on the different techniques. That was probably a lot of work in editing. Thanks for the hard work.

[@bribooutdoors]

brilliant instructional video well done cheers BriBo

[@PorkWall111]

Hey! I just found your channel and I really enjoy it. You have a great set of skills, keep practicing! You are doing great.

[@recreate3204]

Wow I'm an idiot. At 2:11 I heard the fly with my headphones on and it freaked me out and I started swatting around my head. Sounded like there was a fly about to fly into my ear haha.

[@Bones469]

Serious ASMR with that fly... and I am indoors... lol

[@gurunalda1200]

Same

[@Cream_CurdlR]

well Josh , they claim idots are born every day. I guess the saying is true . :)

[@psycangle360]

Nice videos. I enjoy them all. That fly at 2.11 made me swat my earphones off hee hee.

[@allamiatheer1561]

Thank you very much Liliy

[@accessaryman]

very good video, it is handy to know several methods of fire starting , then pick the three which work for you best, and have them at hand, cheers and keep up the great videos :)

[@bikeamtn]

Thanks for the video. As suggested, 3 methods of fire starting is a must (can be simple and of little added weight). In discussions with others regarding wilderness excursions, the traditional ‘camp fire’ is becoming less common (by choice) as tree resources become ever more scarce and that wild fires are an ever increasing threat (many areas have prohibited ‘ground fire’). The shift has already happened toward high efficient stoves of bottled fuel. The fire starting techniques discussed in the video are important in that they are survival skills and are a part of emergency preparedness. Cheers

[@thecrow1280]

great video!

[@TedsOutdoors]

This is such a great video! I love re-watching your video's.

[@DonMilligan]

Excellent display of firemaking methods. Thanks for sharing. ~Don

[@gigione64]

very good.. thanks

[@monsonontario7120]

I always carry fine steel wool in my fire kit, nice to see someone demonstrate with steel wool. keep up the good work

[@dzac01]

Great tutorial, and a good assortment of tools and materials.. cheers.. :)

[@0HARE]

I learned some things from this, and your demonstration of techniques I already knew about was very well presented and helpful. I also like your video capture and editing. Very well done. Thanks for all you share with us. Good Vibrations

[@Waldhandwerk]

Sehr, sehr schöner Feuer Film Lilly. Tolle Video Arbeit auch. LG Sepp

[@blakkbonez8123]

awesome video learned a few new methods love your new hair style by the way.

[@survivalfuchsbr]

Hey, sehr schönes und interessantes Video !! Das Sturmfeuerzeug fand ich gut,hab so ein Teil etwas größer von Proxon,ist aber zu groß zum mitnehmen,aber so in Feuerzeuggröße ist das echt interessant,klasse, LG Brummer

[@THEfromkentucky]

I've seen a lot of people stretch small balloons over the end of a Bic Lighter to keep it sealed and waterproof. Very effective and cheap insurance, though I personally prefer a Ferrocerium rod.

[@THEfromkentucky]

If you didn't know, fine steel wool can also be lit with a ferro rod. Just wrap the steel wool in twine or grass, strike the rod and blow until you get a flame.

[@Yeshuasdaughter888]

Really awesome video! Thank you for sharing all the ways to make fire! Super important! God bless you Lilly!

[@billycook5688]

In the US if you know what you are looking for you can make your own decent black powder. Hi Yield (brand name) stump remover is mostly potassium nitrate, sulphur is found in garden areas of stores, carbon is easy to make.

[@salotimo]

Very good video.Basics are sometimes good to see too.I had learned much to just look Lilly.

[@kullcraven]

I ll have to check out the vid on how you made the storm proof match, very cool. I'm yet to find fat wood in my area, not many pine trees unless very small , rarely a big tree . Tho they are here. Great video on fire making and very nice tips. thanks alot.

[@daledorsett9791]

[@MountainManWiggie]

Good work Girl!

[@RDPproject]

Great Video Lilly. Im going to link it to my bushcraft group on FB. Rob.

[@Lescouflair]

Awsome video. What kind of wood was that at 7:11 that you were shaving?

[@NWIPrepper19113]

That was most impressive Lilly. You are very adept at fire making. Very good video. Liked.

[@JoeFeser]

Thermite is also a good option. Some may argue it is only good at melting steel but it would be a good replacement for the black powder.

[@ruizhernandeztrustfi]

Nice! kudos to you.

[@PitFireOutdoors]

Excellent!! Good to see that you threw in the black powder. That seems to be an unexplored fire starter, but a very effective one!! I'll have to play with that one. Good job bring all these different styles together in one vid!! Now bring on the bow drill ;-)

[@dcox01]

Those stormproof matches you made worked great. I'm going to try to make some.

[@mr.quiltworth845]

Did anyone else have earphones on and shoo that fly away @ 2:11 ?

[@geoffreybywater9909]

She wont to burn the fly

That fly made me swat at my headphones. Good use of B-Roll footage though.

[@ChacalBushcraft]

Muito bom o vídeo, demonstrando varias formas de iniciar uma fogueira.

[@j.markforemanii5585]

Just a note on striking matches properly: I live in a very windy area, and what I do is to hold the match with the head pointing toward my body and using my ring finger to support the splint while striking it. Upon ignition, my hand is already basically in a "cupped" fashion which helps give me time to draw my opposite hand to complete the cupping motion. This protects the match from the wind a little bit better for me. Maybe it will also help you ;)
