Brimstone Matches and Next Fire Mentality

[@haydenfox3116]

Very neat Dave. I didn't know you could liquefy sulfur. I did make some "super matches" using fat wood and and the crushed tips of smaller matches making a match that could burn for about 3 1/2 minutes.

[@davidharvey5672]

So many useful things available on the shelf in stores over there. I notice how many things like that sulphur you can get your hands on. Here in the UK, (Europe in fact) chemicals of most kinds are restricted. That took a fair while to ignite Dave. Thanks for your efforts for us, I enjoy every video.

[@trollforge]

I've been making Spunks for 25 - 30 years. I think the idea of using fatwood is brilliant!!!

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

youve taught me vocabulary as well. i now know why spunky means full of energy ready to go and why punk blows a lot of smoke but dont got much fire. thank you etymology is almost as important to me as bushcraft

[@johnparkerthegimpygardener]

Dave my mom was Amish and when we were sick she would take the ash shovel and some coals from the fire and put sulfur on it and walk through the house , it would smoke and she said it would kill the sickness , they had a lot of old remedy for germs , hydrate was another . not fire , but another use for sulfur

Just for everyone's I go Keith Burgess is an Aussie fella, he has a great KZbin Chanel I've had the pleasure in meeting him and staying at his property

[@gregsummers7350]

Another simply but valuable combustion skill. The 'fat wood' is a great idea. Thanks mate and kind regards, Greg

[@SuperSwitched]

Excellent tip wrt using fatwood as your match stick !

[@Zarthalad]

Thank you Dave for your videos !

[@ben8509]

Awesome Dave, very nicely done. Love your mentality behind this.

[@johnnschroeder7424]

An important mind set and a handy tip! Thanks

[@Thebonesoftrees]

Great video, spring is here, lots of thing to try, thanks a ton, cheers.

[@mistersmith3986]

Awesome tip Dave. Thank you man!

[@jenniferbauman4802]

Good video. Cool. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

[@gunner5178]

thanks for this video Dave.

[@toneyjohnson8910]

Thanks Dave the fat-wood is a great idea. Keep them coming.

[@anthonyjacobs6790]

thanks for sharing this.

[@johnrossi4607]

Tricky ! Like the next fire mentality. Thanks Dave... PAPA DUKES

[@TheWeekendHiker]

Question, have you ever considered making a video on how to make long term burning candles for the Stonebridge folding lantern?

[@rheidtech]

thanks again dave!

[@JimmysWorkshop]

Always has awesome information

[@JimmysWorkshop]

:)

[@bobrunner06]

Cool video Dave!

[@ekevanleeuwen8964]

Can you do a video on the wooden bed? Nice tips btw!

[@darknesslight378]

Dave do you mind making videos in the Boreal Forests? I think most of us understand how the eastern woodlands works, if you could i think that would be really cool

[@diydarkmatter]

pretty cool idea but what if you took pine resin and used it to make fat wood and mixed the sulfur in with it when you made the fat wood thats my first question 2nd question is where do you find sulfur like that at and thank you for the really neat video

[@geraldmaxie8677]

Love the hole set you have going on. Give yous t tour.

[@danmorgan3685]

+Gerald Maxie This will sustain a flame in a a way char by itself can't.

[@75925mike]

seems you could dip the spunks in char or wrap a bit of char cloth around them, thereby reducing combustion time.

[@scruffydude1]

Dave thank you for being incredible. I have learned so much from you. keep up the great work bro

[@alshoemaker9385]

Can these be ignited with a magnifying glass? Al

[@davidspassage]

So cool!

[@blacksmithers8187]

Keep up the good work

[@jmontman]

So does fat wood come only from pine and is it just the center of the log or branch? Also how do you tell if you actually have fat wood vs just a piece of pine? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with those of us who will probably never get the chance to attend your school.

[@GarouLady]

Love the candlestick. Is that a storage container in the base? Also really love the spoon. The heftiness of it I really like. Normal spoons are just too bendy. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@Tonnsfabrication]

That was really cool.

[@ratroddiesels1981]

cool tent .

[@daveybaby8389]

thanks for all the videos and i've a question: i hear the small LPG bottles will freeze up, or won't work in very cold situations and was wondering if one could use hand warmers to either keep them from freezing up (like in transit, put them in the pack near the bottles an hour or two before making camp) or unfreeze them? hand warmers get to around 100-110°f. but don't know if thas too hot to put near the little LPG bottles. again, thanks :)

[@Pygar2]

Great info, and good to see Rufus getting some attention! Be careful, wouldn't want him to get spoiled! ;-)

[@josho5108]

Sweet. I didn't know Keith Burgess was all that well known in the community other than to me

[@axe609]

Two things. Did you try that with the fat wood alone to see if the sulfur truly helps? And, I found a torrent with a famers encyclopedia from 1881 scanned and it has instructions for making strike anywhere matches. Although I haven't tried it yet.

[@benjimckinney]

+axe609 Would you care to share the name of the book you are referring to? I would love to track down a digital copy!

[@axe609]

Benji McKinney search 1881 Household Cyclopedia pdf.

[@chrluc]

Is there a way to make these "strike anywhere"? Strike anywhere "fat wood" matches would be a really great idea.

[@jonathonhumes449]

Could you do the same process but with pine pitch or birch oil?

[@saiaddict]

lol wow about 3 days ago i found that vid by keith h burgess and i planned on makin some then ya pop this vid up. perfect timing lol

[@thegreatlakespiper3780]

Dave where did you get your sulfer?

[@brushmaninc.5900]

What do you prefer char cloth or carbonized material and why.

[@tomritter493]

great vid dave ahhhh rotten eggs and pine lol spunks that's an idea I never seen kieths vid on it but fat wood makes more since atb.....tom

[@streamsoflivingwater]

Hey Dave, I love what you do with this channel and have been a fan of yours for a long time. I have a deep respect and admiration for you... And I hate to break it to you, Dave...but the word 'spunk', here in the UK, is the slang word for a mans semen, or love juice! This is why people are sniggering at the term being used so much. But you weren't to know. Don't worry, dude! May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and go with you. Tom

[@Atkrdu]

Why not just use wax? Seems it would be easier to get & use. Good idea with the fatwood, though.

[@francoisdastardly4405]

Excellent ! Cool video and nice dog :-)

[@liamireland7381]

That had to smell horrendous.

[@markmagouirk2553]

Another great tip Dave. You should check out SURVIVALLILLY. She made a similar video on storm proof matches that can strike like a regular match in driving wind and rain.

[@badbadbob1]

I like it.

[@crosseyedcricket2394]

Sublimated sulphur powder?

[@WobblingHobGoblin]

GreAT STUFF!

[@lifeontheroof2000]

I like how he is using fat wood which is full of oil that burns good.

[@john-waxerone6972]

Hey Dave, you are awfully sponk-y! Good Video on transference.

[@ringss12]

Where did you your sulfur ?

[@bushfosterdad]

would the fat wood not takeoff on it's own without the sulfur? TIA!

[@claytons3594]

Where did you get the sulfur?

[@masterofsniping92]

I've always heard these referred to as "punks". I guess "punk" is a misnomer. I don't think I can call it a "spunk" without getting weird looks and laughs. But if that's what it's called, that's what it's called.

[@pastramichop]

Doesn't sulfur smell?

[@pastramichop]

+Don Williams Cool video too! This is the stuff I come to youtube for

[@Grunttamer]

I love your vids dave. that said this does kinda look like ye olde heroine

[@mattheweanfeldman]

I don't get why you need this. Can't the char just light up a fire?

[@repeat_defender]

+matthew feldman try it, and make a video of it to tell us what happens.

[@tikkidaddy]

Spunky: a lot of initiative, feisty, guts, self reliance, gonads etc...sets something off...WOW!

[@bradb9146]

Never comments back : (

[@DavidCanterbury]

+brad b Comments back sometimes but teaches at a School for this stuff every weekend and writes and shoots video during the week, gets 3-400 mails per day and barley has time to see his wife, yet still he makes FREE videos that are pretty self explanatory :(

[@gi70st]

+wildernessoutfitters Its appreciated, sir. Thank you!

[@timc46440]

+wildernessoutfitters Hell yeah Dave, "most" of us understand and know how busy of a man you are, and appreciate all the free knowledge you spread. Always top notch content, keep it up brother!

[@dgunn4408]

+wildernessoutfitters HELL YA!

[@poppopscarvinshop]

+wildernessoutfitters -- Rock-On Dave! Thanks Much!!
