Broomstraw Flash Tinder, Ferro Rod One Strike Ignites It

Check Out My 100s Of Fire Making Videos... Broomsedge aka Broomstraw has those fluffy seeds that work beautifully for a flash tinder. They quickly brought the straw to flames from just one strike of the keychain ferro rod.
I started out today's practice igniting Loblolly Pine Needles, then a collection of leaves from Poplar, Maple, and Black Gum trees, then broke out the Broomstraw, and finished up with the last of the Pine Needles. Come check out how many One Strike Ignites I got from the Pine Needles and Grass tinders!... GET OUT THERE AND PRACTICE!... Please SUBSCRIBE at the end of the video. Thanks!!!

In Sweden the pine needles are much shorter but i have collected a bit bag of them and you are still my fire guru.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I hope yours are better than ours. Our pine with short needles is called Shortleaf Pine. It has small pine cones that grow along the slender branches sort of in a row. The Shortleaf Pine needles and its pine cones are not as reactive as the other species I prefer to use.... but... they are better than no pine needles at all. Thanks!

[@rubmyweasel]

That nail works amazing. Thanks for the ferro rod "tip"!

[@TwoWheelWanderer650]

That is insane how quick the dry grass goes up.

[@lars-eriksahlstrand3287]

David.thanks for your reply. And you Always are My fire guru and i realy like your videos.You show how Hard it can be to make fire and somtimes huw easy you can make a fire you är very pedagogik i like that and i Collection the White Ash now you learnd me that. Keep doing videos i gonna whatch everyone. My Spellings is not perfect

[@mikehopper9516]

Wow ! That grass is like gasoline ! Well now if I have the choice leaves will be my last pick. Thanks Dave. :)

[@scottanthony1616]

Thanks David, for the educational and fun video, much appreciated, God bless you and your Family always 🇺🇸👼🏻

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Yes, fun! God Bless yall!

[@NatesOutdoors]

Thanks for the shout-out man,I love broom sage or straw,that stuff works great for bird's nest or with a ferro rod.True story: my neighbor threw out a cig riding down the road and caught a whole field of it on fire.Thanks for sharing man really cool video

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I believe it. Some flash tinder doesn't burn hot enough to ignite and burn the main tinder itself... This stuff does! Thanks!

[@thomasgold-1000]

Love your good ol’ sperro rod! 👍

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

How bout that thing!!!

[@thomasgold-1000]

You are right David, probably I should be making one for my key chain as well... In the bush I’m usually using a bigger one, so I don’t face the “slipping problem”.

[@MadDogSurvival]

Nicely done my friend 👍🏽👍🏽😎

[@EarlLedden]

Ordered 3 for $11 key chain ferro rods from Amazon and picked up an Ace Hatchet for $22 yesterday. I'm in business!

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

You got a good deal. You got the Collins from ACE like I did?

[@EarlLedden]

@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Yes, actually BECAUSE you did. Also I like a wooden handle as it absorbs the shock better than fiberglass or metal.

[@zr1daddy14]

Really enjoy your videos

[@450Xer]

Dave you made me laugh-out-loud when you said "I guess nobody else can relate to it". I have a 3" ferro rod on my key chain also, but must admit there's no panel nail in the end of it.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Yep, they work just fine without the spear. Thanks!

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Good video David boy that sage grass goes up quick

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I loved those slo mos! Thanks friend!

[@direwolf7096]

I like the firesteel modification, I'm just a little Leary about having something pointy in my pocket. I'm guessing you haven't had any problems with it

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

You can use a pen cap or piece of clear tubing for a cover. No sticks in the leg.

[@paylaw6012]

David, from taco soup to drilled ferro rods, you have a most interesting and informative channel - one of my favorites. What is the top of your table made from? It looks and sounds like a steel panel, but I never see any rust. All I know is if I positively had to have a fire started for a million dollars, you would be the MAN ! Keep it up.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

A10" piece of galvanized duct pipe... Galvanizing is not supposed to accept spray paint well but I scuffed it with sandpaper, used denatured alcohol to clean, then applied high temp spray paint. The thin skin of metal expands and contracts WILDLY in the weather's temperature changes... My earlier videos show a 1/8" plate on the top of a much larger fire table. When I downsized the fire table, I couldn't bring myself to cut down that great piece of plate from my first table.

[@smokeycanopy]

Great video, I tried a video the other day with resin needles and few other things but knifes spine wasn't up to it so ill try again n upload it soon.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Hey Smokey!... Check out my spine sharpening videos. Thanks!

[@MrTangent]

How long do you soak the leaves in gasoline before the video? Just kidding! Great tutorial as always. You’re probably the best ferro rod practitioner on KZbin.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

They're pretty easy to ignite when dry like that.

[@MrTangent]

@@DavidWestBgood2ppl I was just kidding around, good Sir! I’ve learned a lot from watching your techniques, so thank you for that.

[@MrFrankjp]

Hi David, Frank from South Africa here! Thanks for all your videos! I have learned a lot from them. Have you tried any fire starting using fire pistons? Would love to hear your opinion on them.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

There are a lot of techniques that I'm not interested in... that one, solar cigarette lighter, pump drill, etc.

[@richkeagy8907]

Dang but you sure do sound like Randy Travis.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer. I set it on the table and I talked to it till four. I read some old love letters right up to the break of dawn. Yeah, I've been sittin' alone, diggin' up bones.

[@josephkerley363]

There is a way which seems right to a man annnd ... when it comes to fire making it works! Ok, ok, that’s not really how the scripture goes. 😎. Nevertheless, you do light some fine fires!
