Birchbark sheath and fire starting struggle

[@charleslarson3152]

Hey my Viking Girl....what a treat....Ulrica for 25 minutes!!??!! Loved that Birch bark sheath. It's important that these old skills be preserved and handed down. ...including how you started the fire.......you didn't give up and won through without matches or a lighter!! Big hugs and thumbs up from the Arizona desert!!

[@Gullrica]

Hi desert Rat :) So glad you liked it! Yes, those old good skills is good to handed down. I learn more when things dont go as expected, like lightning fires. I was glad when it finally lit, tho :) Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my good friend. /Ulrica

[@gray5627]

Very cool knife sheath! It is so nice to see someone showing instances when the fire doesn't always start the first time. Not giving up is the key!! Thanks for sharing. :-)

[@Gullrica]

Hi! So glad you liked the sheath. I wasnt expecting that much trouble with that fire. Ha ha, but sometimes it just dont want to catch the first ... or the second ... or the third time :) Yes, not giving up and try other ways is the key. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@russelldetwiler389]

so glad to see you again, the knife sheath is a great example of using natural things to make what you need. I am looking forward to your next video.

[@Gullrica]

Hi. I am glad you liked it! Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@sherbasky]

You, my dear, are a joy to watch! I'm glad you kept trying with flint and steel! I really want to try to make that sheath....I appreciate you showing that. Sending you my best California greetings and best wishes!

[@Gullrica]

Hi. I am so glad you like watching my videos! Hope you one day can try to make that kind of sheath. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Sending you my best Swedish greetings back :) Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@legman1947]

It is so nice to see you again Ulrica. Great job with that pesky fire and nice sheath ;-) I had to laugh when that bird kept interrupting you. LOL...

[@Gullrica]

Hi! It was good to make another video. I was afraid I have forgotten how to do one... :) Mmm. that fire requiered little work, ha ha. And that bird, yeah, maybe it wanted to tell me something? Keep trying, maybe? Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@virginiacopeland108]

Lovely outing, and now I know how much Chaga to put in a cup. Thanks for taking us along with you. Nice nail polish! Virginia and Clark

[@Gullrica]

Hi Virginia and Clark! So glad you two liked my outing. All my long life, I am and have always been a terrible nail-biter, but once every ten years or so I manage to save my nails for a few weeks so its worth a nail polish. I am glad I have it on video at least once. :) I am so happy you noticed :) Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care, you two, my friends. /Ulrica

[@kennethpowell8957]

Thanks for sharing your adventures. The scenery is beautiful, and heard a cuckoo a few times. sounds just like my parents old cuckoo clock. Lol.

[@Gullrica]

Hi Kenneth, so glad you liked it. Ha ha, yes, that cuckoo was a nice interuption. Do you also have a saying, to tell the " future" from in what direction you hear the cuckoo? Like from west, the best... and so on..? Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@papigomez3891]

Hi. Escapade to the woods with the view of water, so you had a beach front, fire in the air, a sheath made of a tree bark, tea on the forest, what a good time!!! Keep doing this. I know is from time ago but for This Old Crow, was today. Gullrica thanks. I do not know if you still going to the forest? However I enjoyed these old videos. Thanks again. From Nevada, blessings, Pappi.

[@jgbsweeper7325]

Thanks! What a nice spot for a video. That lake is beautiful.

[@Gullrica]

Hi! I am glad you liked the place I chosed, yes, that lake is beautiful and its calm and not so far away from a road so its practical too. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@elaineoutdoors9581]

so glad to see another video from you, that's a great, fun little project, thanks for the idea, take care!

[@Gullrica]

Hi Elaine! I am glad you liked the idea, and yes, it is indeed a fun project and not that difficult either. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care, you too, my friend. /Ulrica

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It has been far too long since I took time to see your videos Ulrica. I had almost forgot how wonderful they are. I hope you are well. - Bryan

[@Gullrica]

Hi Bryan. Good to see you around! I am fine. I just havent got any good ideas for videos lately. Hope you are well too. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@MrJimmuck]

Good morning Ulrica ..... Its nice to see you again with another really good video. I hope you are well. What a really beautiful wool ..... a bit like Scotland! You did an excellent fire start. I don't think many people practice these skills often enough and revert to lighters or fire steels. I thought the birch bark sheath was a great concept .... I make leather sheaths (a hobby) and I am going to convert your one to leather. I look forward to your next video. atb Ulrica ,,,, Jim

[@Gullrica]

Hi Jim. I am so glad you liked the video! I am well, thanks. I also think most people take the fastes way to make fire. For me its revarding to make fire with flint and steel. But not everytime it goes as I plan. Ha ha. Sounds like a fun thing to do this birchbark concept but with leather. That could work. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. take care my friend and ATB back to you and yours! /Ulrica

[@MegaDapperman]

Lovely to see you again. Admire your determination. It's not always easy to start a fire. Love your cheerful ways.

[@Gullrica]

Hi David. I am so glad you liked it! Thank you for taking your time to watch and to leave such a nice comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@PaulBuikema]

Love it, thanks Ulrica. Always nice to see you showing your stuff. Still jealous that you spent time with Mr Canterbury, he has his failings in his reputation but he still has a lot to offer.

[@Gullrica]

Hi Paul, so glad you liked this video! It was a very positive experience to meet Mr Canterbury in person. He and his wife is lovely people. I was not expecting him to mingle around with all us other normal "deadly people" on that Moraknive adventure. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@davidclarke4040]

hi Gullrica thanks for a very good video it was nice to have a video from you that was a very nice place hope you are well dave

[@Gullrica]

Hi Davis. So glad you liked it! I am fine, thanks. Busy but have vacation soon. I am looking forward to that. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@helenbugsynelson]

Great video! I was so glad when you took the bird nest outside part off. When I saw it hanging over the edge after you first put it in your fire pan, I wondered if it would be safe. I love your knife sheath. We have a birch tree that fell in a storm this winter, so I might give this a try myself.

[@Gullrica]

Hi Helen. So glad you liked the video. Yes, I did see that large bundle too late... It was a good idea to take the outer layer away. Maybe it was a good thing it didnt catch on fire in the two first tries? :) It is a very good thing to take birch bark from a fallen tree. It is a fun project so I hope you one day can make a try with a sheath. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@craigweyna4072]

I don't know how I missed seeing your visits! Life must have intervened! Good to see you again in your always restful and smiling videos!

[@t.w.milburn8264]

Well Hello, Ulrice; Happy Swedish Day's to you ! Really like the hanging fire-pot. David's' a great Tuber as You are. Finally the fire came to life. So Many Thanks for doing the sheath demo, Will have to give this a try soon. Be Well, Friend ATB Terry God Bless

[@Gullrica]

Hi Terry, good to see you around! So glad you liked the demo. Its a fun project so I hope you one day can make it a go. I agree, David is a great tuber! Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care, my friend, ATB and God Bless /Ulrica

[@marcegrecco53]

My pleasure my dear. I really enjoy your videos and adventures int bush craft and primitive survival. Keep up the good work.Marc

[@Gullrica]

Hi dear Marc. So glad you liked the video! Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@tsavage4185]

Another great video. We need to see more of you, with that cute smile.

[@TheRunereaper]

Well done Ulrica, your videos always make me think. I'll have to find some birch bark to see if it can be stuck with superglue from my 1st Aid kit. Probably not, as it is quite oily. Good video and a nice spot with the wind keeping the mossies off the water. Great to see you out and about and a really responsible way to have a fire. Your pot is fascinating, like a Mors pot but bigger and in stainless. Now that Dave Canterbury is one of your proteges, I suppose you will feel it unethical to pass comment :-)) but I'm sure lots of us would like to know how you find it. Good post as always, thank you ..Paul :-))

[@Gullrica]

Hi there Paul! Birch bark is build up in layer, and if you just glue the first layer it will rip off, I think. But if you find a way to glue all the layers it might work. The pot is good but little big and bulky for just one person on a normal basis. Unless its winter and you need to melt snow or ice to bet water or boil lots of soup for some reason. I guess you can use the space in the pot while you packing. Its not heavy, just little big... :) But I love to have something with that Pathfinder logo. So glad you liked the video! Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@dcordry]

Ulrica, excellent video! I like the way you kept working on getting that fire started. Good job. Be safe out there on the trail. - Dee

[@Gullrica]

Hi Dee. So glad you liked the video. Yeah, that fire needed little work Ha ha. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Be safe, you too, my friend. /Ulrica

[@Treehuggeremt2]

Great tutorial I am inspired to make one for my Mora. I love your videos. It is good to see a woman enjoying the out doors. Mostly I love your honesty. You never try to hide your mistakes or failures. That is very refreshing. Keep enjoying the woods and, please, keep making videos. 🤗

[@Gullrica]

Hi. Thank you for your kind words. Honsetly, I try to keep the biggest mistake out of the film.... I got so bad comments in the past but some minor ones I left in and I try to be as honest as I can :) Thank you for watching and for your kind comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@Ladythyme]

Thank you for doing this...it was so much fun to join you!

[@Gullrica]

Please be proud of your ability to share your knowledge with so many of us around the world! Bless you and stay safe please!!

[@Gullrica]

Hi there dear old John. Thank you for your very kind words. They felt good in my heart! No I care well for my Alice Pack so no burn hole or any hole in that packpack, that shouldnt be there. Thank you so much for taking your time to watch and to comment. God Bless and please take care, you too, my good friend. /Ulrica

Hi Kevin! Ha ha. yes, we also have a saying for the third time. Good you remind me of that. :) So glad you liked the demo. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@Woodsman_wildcamper]

Hi Ulrica, I'm new to your channel, just stumbled across it and loved the nice, gentle atmosphere in your videos. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@PHARRAOH]

I remember you used the hanging fire a few years back. cool idea. Sure is nice to hear our voice again. good video

[@Gullrica]

Hello there my friend. You have a good memory! :) Glad you liked the video. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care! /Ulrica

[@lmartin5251]

You're patience still amazes me, but you always conquer the fire. Good job! Thank you for showing us how to make the sheath. I was hoping you would after watching the Mora event you went to. That looked like a lot of fun. So did you put all that chaga in the tea, because maybe that's why I didn't like it when I tried it because maybe I didn't use enough of it? I'm glad to see you putting more videos out. Hope you & the family are doing well. Take care. Lessa

[@Gullrica]

Hi Lessa! Good to see you around. It took me a good while to like chaga tea. And I like it the most when I am outdoors and ever more if can mix it up with something, like spruce or pine niddles or labrador tea. No, I didnt take everything in that tin, just two pieces. The smallest I had in that tin, about a sugar-bit (?) size, each. It takes a while to learn how long you you want it to boil or if you want to add something to it.. Me and my family are fine, thank you! Hope you feel well too and can be out on some adventures too. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my good friend. /Ulrica

[@polishpicl]

great idea,thank you for this..and I missed seeing you for weeks. welcome back..Ron

Hi Ron. I am really sorry I have been away for so many weeks. May I blame it on the lousy filming weather? I am glad you liked the idea. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@Gullrica]

Hi Steve, so glad you liked it! True, not everything work out as you want it. This place is a curse, not much goes well when I am there. ;) But its true, it keeps us humble ( and hopefully grateful when its do works well) Good to see you around! Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@wayofthehike]

One of the best things about this video is the fact that you are wearing an Alphaville tshirt! They are a great band from a great era.

[@steinwaygoat]

I was just thinking about that hanging fire yesterday--great to see it again. Happy flag day! That birdsnest is for an eagle!! Hey!! I see those fingernails😀😀😀 you know, showing the frustrations is really neat for me because it demonstrates that even the best have to really work at fires, even with the best of skills. So good to see you!

[@Gullrica]

Hi Jules. Mmm, I am so very proud of my fingernails right now. Ha ha. Yeah, fire doesnt want to get lit every time. Ha ha. Yes, water is a good helper sometimes. Thank you for watching my friend. /Ulrica

[@marcegrecco53]

Third time is a charm. Nice to see you out in the wilderness practicing your skills

[@Gullrica]

[@Psychonaut273]

Thank you for explaining how the sheath was made. It looks so nice. I will make one soon. If you figure out, how to make a sheath for the morakniv spoon carving knife, please let me know. Again, thank you for the video. Christian

[@Gullrica]

Hi Christian. It is a fun project so I hope you can try it out soon. Also the Morakniv production team wants ideas for that spoon knife. :) But I put one in a bottle-cork when I dont use it, its little easier to transport that way.

I have never tried to start a fire with natural tinder. Is it possible to get the bundle too compact?

[@Gullrica]

Hi J.K, yes, its possible to squeez that little glow on the charred cloth so it goes out. And you need to have air going into it. So its good if its not too compact. But that´s the charm with flint and steel, its little of a challenge every time and nothing is obvious and you dont know for sure its going to work.
