Learning fire skills are very essential in many ways and can save your life thanks again corporal for the tips and tricks you share.

[@gscryinlikeabitch]

Would like to let you know it seems like the youtuber Townssend(historical food youtuber mostly 1700-1800s) has been using your forged fork for his videos.

[@felgercarb-mu5rc]

Corporal fire tips for the win! Great #1 Tips & Tricks video!

[@LITSGARAGE]

Hey Corporal ! love the video! could you please do something similar showing how to start fire in wet/damp/rainy conditions please ?

[@kristopherb8046]

Thank you for the extra content

[@randallhawkinson4727]

You finally cleared around the fire "pit"! Remember children, those of you who live in the western US need to clear everything to at least 10 feet out from the center. Us old firefighters refer to "no smoke" as "complete combustion". All three sides of the fire pyramid (fuel, oxygen, heat) are deliciously satisfied simultaneously. That's why the Dokota Pit is so efficient. This is a good refresher and a marvelous how to for Pilgrams in the field. Carry on!

[@stonerock56]

Great tips for fire starting!! Doesn’t get any better than this!!! Thank you Corporal for your expertise!!!

[@nickoxfordyt]

As we say here in England.... short but sweet. The perfect balance of information and demonstration in a compact , punchy video. Excellent AF !

[@NaomiH.]

Perfect timing as I'm camping this week. 😉

[@mojavebohemian814]

Me too!

[@timp3931]

It was Thanksgiving here in Canada. I am thankful that I have wilderness 200m from where I live. I can go out and practice this stuff easily. I have been lighting fires for a few decades, but it is always nice to learn new skills.

[@bobbyprice9285]

U should do a video on what to look for and how to find fat lighter aka fat wood. Just a thought

[@davidrutledge5464]

I don't know if I ever said this. Thank You for your service Sir!! You are Awesome.

[@BushcraftRapunzel]

How you do your tinder stacking is one thing I feel like people usually forget to do enough of in the stack. Great demonstration. 👍

[@jmad56]

If you enjoyed this video he has several others on fire methods. Midweek video #16 guarantee that fire in the rain, #10 emergency fire tricks, and there is an older video on how to start and maintain a fire in the rain. You really can't go wrong on any of his technical videos though. Make sure to watch all of his overnight in the woods videos to see what he coaches applied to use. Great job again Corp

[@tammyjackson-gq6jj]

Always a good day when Corp posts a new video!

[@allenelam6135]

Same basic firelay was taught by my grandpa, then by the Boy Scouts, then in the Corp. Very rarely will you find a scenario that it will not work in.

[@bertmoore4092]

Thanks for working 100 hours a week, but still putting out videos with real value.

[@recall5811]

most dont yet i still fight for views and circulation

[@OldManSparkplug]

You build fires like my old man! I used to say it was lazy, but now I have to tell him he was right the whole time? Damnit. Great video, thanks.

[@stevenwood5948]

Great midweek. Fine firelay. Great information. Thanks Corporal.

[@jeffharris3105]

I've used this style of fire 🔥 many times..In my opinion one of the best fire lays 🔥😁🌳🌲

[@kevinboock7143]

There’s something about making a fire that always brings out a sense of raw survival. I have made hundreds and hundreds of fires and maybe even into the thousands but doing it without a lighter is always a fun and enjoyable experience if you have good tinder.

[@dposting2941]

This channel is my most useful escape from the current hellscape. Time to practice. Time to prepare both our skills & souls. It's only going to be a wilder ride from here no matter which avatar is president next.

[@hbrws813]

Exactly.

[@geoffwrigley1494]

Bank line is the best bit of kit I've used in 40 years. I bought heaps.

[@siquinnell6068]

One great thing about living in Australia is we don’t have trouble getting a fire started, most of our plants and trees are so full of flammable oils they will burn even if they are green, I use the fibres from the stringy bark gum and finely crushed dry eucalyptus leaves to make a fire nest, dry kangaroo dung works quite well too

[@petros9526]

True, I saw it on news.

[@kyleironheart]

Starting and keeping a fire going is a skill everyone should know

[@frikkiesmit327]

Thin sticks i tried once when making fire was dead grape vines. Works very nice for fuel and even to get flames again if you already have coals.

[@Primitive-Hunter]

With every educational video you make, another life you will save.

[@tooterplumber1128]

Another fantastic thumbs up video. Always enjoy watching you demonstrate the right way of doing things correctly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

[@edwhite1646]

This isn't talked about much and is the most important part of making/keeping a fire. Glad you showed this technique.

[@TDGC1812]

What is great video. Did I mention that the first time I managed to make and sustain a fire was thanks to the Corporal's videos? Remarkable teacher.

[@drunkwoodswyllia4885]

A lot of the newbie’s probably don’t know this! Great tip brother!

[@user-om1if7fg7l]

Hey Corporal, I have been following u for a long time now and I can never say Thank You enough for your wisdom. I have never served in the armed forces but with all your teachings I can hold my own in a survival setting. I know soon we'll be using all the skill sets that we have learned from u and others that care for good God fearing America citizens. God bless U and once again God bless all your efforts Corp!!!

[@user-hx9tp9cn2h]

Excellent! Your explanations & demonstrations are always crystal clear! Thanks.

[@ddarkhelmett3684]

I've been watching you for a few years now. Never understood how to make a fire from what's around you. Whenever I went camping I always made sure I brought like newspaper or something. Since I've learned from you, I don't need those things anymore. I hope others learn from this video like I did from you years ago. As Always, Thanks for All you do

[@andyking6605]

Thanks! Again, you have made it all look so simple. Basic skills will keep you alive and keep you warm. Thanks for the Awesome Video!!

[@tkskagen]

Shawn, you're starting your "Tips 'n Tricks" series excellently! Hoping this series makes it to Episode #50, and beyond. Oogh Raw Devildog

[@billcamus8766]

Fire is a chore I don't particularly care to do. When I need or have to build a fire, I typically use an "all natural" 20 min road flare. Been doing that for decades. In the PNW or Southeast Alaska, it's the easy way to flame.

[@petezahrbock]

Midweek Funday, another great video 📹. Thank you!!

[@helgeschwarz323]

Fire loves chaos! Thanks Corporal! 😊

[@anneliseolsen6896]

A manmade firestarter/tinder I've found works each time, every time; old newspaper, torn into strips a few inched wide, and it doesn't matter if you tear it along the short edge, or the long edge of the newspaper page, then roll the strip up semi-loosely, and soak it in melted candle wax. Water proof, and lights easy with a match, or a lighter. And weighs less than carrying fatwood with you.

[@bodhi7945]

Always, always, ALWAYS solid, straightforward tips and training from you! Cannot tell you how much I appreciate that.

[@JEFLeb35712]

Really good advice about starting uncontrolled or unwanted potential fires. Great video.

[@lordofpain3476]

Sometimes it makes me laugh that cavemen were able to make fire , but the average modern human can't.

[@MichaelWilliams-to3cj]

Thats not funny its sad

[@sonnyboywannabe]

I'm not sure that anthropology suggests the average caveman could easily or quickly make fire either.

[@tburrows357]

I wonder how many cavemen died before 30? Exposure? Disease? Infections? Fire was coveted and essential skill but ancient humans were not solo creatures. It took a tribe to hunt sometimes a single beast. Think of the energy needed to slay a bison or hog with spears by tracking, herding, and trapping. Then to subdue a creature of large size without anyone getting hurt.

[@shinobihouzin]

The thing is , now that it started raining 🌧 in my locale it ain't gonna stop for 5-7 months , I have to apply a whole set of different techniques when everything is wet

[@raktoda707]

Clear , clean display of method, tools and beautiful hot 🔥. You use good angles when you create video Question: Do you think ferro rod is afraid of you and that why it makes it's sparks jump so far? I never saw anything like that....🦖

[@MikeBius]

Love starting fires in the backyard fire ring!

[@hiediriggs4796]

Hubby said I would like your mid week video. He was right. Keep up the great content. Thanks you.

[@recall5811]

this wasn't a wid-week video, that is on thursdays

[@jimplosay8352]

Excellent, quick and short and useful!

[@kalstreksandtrails7606]

Another Outstanding A.F video my friend

[@kevingeorge4140]

Love having a third video in the week. I know it's alot of work for you, but keep them coming. Great fire tips!

[@justincase5272]

I've been at fire craft for 50+ years, and on four different continents and nearly all biomes and all four seasons. NEVER ONCE have I had to laboriously scrape tinder with a knife. I've used a flint and steel, but normally I just carry a couple of BIC lighters. They weigh less than a striking stick. Also, I build a log cabin fire around my tinder and kindling. Not only does it shield the inner from the wind while allowing plenty of airflow, but the initial fire dries the sapling to log sized sticks in the log cabin arrangement.

[@OldManSparkplug]

I'm not much younger and I've been building log cabins too.

[@randybradley7427]

I grew up with wood heat. Learned to build a fire young. Lot of people think you can go from a little tinder to big wood. Got to work your fire up then when you have a sustainable fire add big. Great video.

[@joshpackard4989]

End times here thanks for making these videos your helping me gain the confidence to dip and live off grid when mass murder goes down in America once the war happens internally

[@erolkavlakverizon6112]

What a great surprise to see this video. And another one will be later and then the big one on Sunday.. Outstanding...

[@angiemeininger]

Thanks for explaining the fire making. You always seem to have the best fires with the least hassle.

[@VdubSPAZ]

I'm excited I get a third video for this week either way thank you very much for putting in the effort that you do and I look forward to watching you explode and the success of your Channel

[@johncooper1107]

As always i find your videos interesting and useful. Being three quarters of a century old i learn something from each video . From an old Marine to a young Marine "Semper Fi"

[@RenManinJapan]

Been Moto camping with my Vaseline and cotton balls for years.. also I keep all my dryer lint.. works well…

[@percisionshot4331]

I’ve been gathering fatwood for the past couple days. I discovered a new to me technique for processing fatwood. I get nice thick limb of wood and use a 1/4” hole bit and drill holes in it. Then cut that part off about a 1/4” to 1/2” thick making a disk with holes in. Continue in this manner. I do this several times then put the disk in a container I use a ziplock bag. I use the shavings/drill dust to start the fire then place the disk on it and it burns very strong with a jet like response. These work very well if your tender is a little damp. Of course you have to do this prior to going into the woods.

[@RobanyBigjobz]

Great new series from the highly esteemed Corporal! Outstanding start, looking forward to the next one :)

[@charlesmyers7193]

Your videos are excellent. I really have learned much good survival and construction form them. keep up your excellent work. it is really appreciated.

[@gordongadbois1179]

NICE. LAY YOUR WOOD PERPENDICULAR TO THE FLAME, GOOD ADVICE.

[@jayroser9876]

Im always amazed at how you cook on such a small amount of coals. Completely different from what we were told before

[@papaschuette]

If there's one thing I've learned over the many years of fire starting, it is fire loves chaos. The more randomly you add the wood, the better and easier it is to keep the fire going. Awesome video as always.

[@Caldaborg38]

Another outstanding video! For the past 3 years when I go backpacking I've always been the one to start the fire at camp. To this day I still mimic the skills your preach and I give you a shoutout when I do so.

[@johnjentzer1863]

Another great and instructive video. Thanks.

[@russellwatters5891]

Another great lesson! There's lots of pines here in Florida, lighterknot galore...lol 😂😅 Thanks for the knowledge sir! 😊

[@ewkmd]

I absolutely love this video! For a change, I did get a notification from KZbin.

[@user-zs6to9sk9l]

Great video with the safety tips. Would of been nice to see you go through the process of extinguish the fire properly and leave no trace. This would help those that are challenged in ensuring their fire lays are completely turned off and won't start up again after they leave. A Smoky the Bear moment. Look forward to your next video.

[@NewHampshireJack]

What has happened to us as a society? This is basic knowledge that everybody should have learned during their childhood. Thankfully, those who desire to learn get a second chance with a great teacher.

[@recall5811]

its free too yet most wont watch

[@jeffrichards5106]

Great video and tips for fire building. Thanks, Shawn.❤‍🔥👍👌

[@rlw127]

Great video. My favorite fire starter is 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup of saltpeter in an empty aluminum beverage can. Drop in a match and it will start the wettest wood.

[@mcnew9103]

Really like this format. Great video and I can't wait till next week's tip

[@user-xb1tw4lu2y]

Shawn brother you are a fire God outstanding video

[@thewheelchairprepper8070]

Excellent video like always. Thank you for all the work you do for us God bless.

[@JamesSmith-is7co]

Always learning something on the channel!! I been building on the flat ground and not using enough fat wood shavings!!!

[@gregoryknox4444]

Great job, and the usual expertise instruction.

[@GG.098]

It amazes me how many people do not know how to start a fire correctly. Thanks for the vid.

[@BearNarrow]

Simple and to the point. I like these videos.

[@gimponatrip425]

As always a great video you find so many ways to teaches different ways to do simple things

[@johnbaldwin143]

See what you're saying there Corp and understand you delivery. Method irrespective of equipment. I have tried to teach the unteachable many times. but you are far more eloquent and forgiving than I! Bless you brother, I get what you do!

[@joshuahammond1585]

That 3 vid week is on fire Corp Kelly! Outstanding AF as always. I hope you understand how many people like myself that actually took there skills to a new level of badassery because of your channel! YT just don't know ! Fact's

[@ralphjesseman6562]

A great basic video. This is one of your most important things to know. Everyone should try this, it’s tricky, but not hard. Thanks, brother.

[@galbraith2]

Very informative video. Explained well, as always.

[@mickwatson2177]

Keep going on these videos mate👍🐕🤠🇦🇺

[@zappchar]

More vids, more awesomeness. Thanks Cap!

[@dustinlamb7941]

Awesome video! Looking forward to the next.

Thanks for your efforts! We appreciate you working to spread your knowledge.

[@Of_the_House_of_Black]

Very nice. Thank you for another video with good information.

[@kuzinit2374]

I like to use alcohol prep pads, you just unfold the pad, then wad it up , they light quick and burn hot for about 4 minutes, use them to start fires plus you can use them for hobo bath , first aid , and cleaning equipment , they catch a spark first try everytime

[@eddycamp2492]

Hello , it's Real pleasure to Come hère and see a professional explaining thé fire with plenty of Care.........In France it's very dangerous and ofen forbiden......and it's for that I use an box métal.......it's not thé fire dakota but a little sensation of freedom....thanks you......good day of France , sorry about m'y english..... ciao.

[@scottslaughter9110]

Great lesson on fire building

[@bogan4009]

Another great fundamentals video!!!! Good stuff, keep em coming.

[@shaunmcmackin1829]

Great tips , welcome to Tuesday nights in the uk

[@viewsandreviews180]

A good presentation of fire starting. I’m very glad you mentioned propping the fuel over the tender fire so that both air and heat are in contact with the fuel. I’ve taught many folks about this over the years.

[@jasongarling20]

Great stuff! I am definitely familiar with everything you showed today. I'm glad to see that I was pretty spot on. I enjoyed how you took the time to demonstrate and explain each part. I am a huge fatwood fan. I used it alot in the winter when things are froze. Fatwood to the rescue for the win!

[@jameskelly1680]

Excellent video. This may be new material for some people, or it may be a review for other more experienced people, but it is valuable material to learn and practice. Thank you for everything you do, to encourage people to get back out and try things out. I'd love it if you were to experiment with using a Rocket Mass Heater stove in one of your projects.

[@jasonwalker5599]

Very cool, enjoyed the presentation. Thank you.

[@davidashley6578]

There can be no doubt now on how it’s done! Another great vid!

[@Nazrick]

Love this series. Great vid.

[@tony-ceee]

The new format is awesome, keep it up!

[@Jaden48108]

Nice video. Practical and to the point. Do not pay attention to Frankenstein's words "Fire bad!"

[@jamesharvey44]

Good tips, thanks. As a tent camper looking into tarp camping, one thing that I have yet to see discussed anywhere is when to choose certain tarp shelter setups and which one is best for what.

[@BigHulkDiesel]

I will always watch corporals corner, big fan. But I have to wonder about the previews before the video. In the first 18-20 seconds, I saw the content for the entire video. I'll watch to the end to support, but wonder if some just skip in by.
