10 Ways To Fire Roll... Vertical Fire Rolling, Using Asphalt, And More

[@alearon81]

Very informative. It don't even matter if the surface is entirely dry or not.

[@Seplicar]

Succeeded with my first fire roll today. 90° and 90% humidity. It finally worked when I doubled the fatness of the rolls over what you use. Thanks for the guidance.

Welcome to the Fire Roll Club!!!

[@NatureBoy711]

cool man ...this is a neat trick ! whoever first invented this technique is genius !

[@weozol4065]

[@ChemEDan]

Dislikes are from cotton balls

I have tried this, and love it, I have been working with 1/2 cotton ball, and ash/charcoal, im at about 85% rate. about to go to 1/3 cottonball. made a base board it is 8 x 6 x 1 1/2 and have 3 holes drilled into it on the side, and 2 on one side. Each i have inserted a cigar tubes 2 that holds extra cotton balls, and one on the other that holds ashes. For weight i made it out of cedar and using 18 table saw blades and a bolt i ran it back and fourth to ruff it up a bit.

Nice, I didn't think you were going to be able to get one started off the stump. I figured it would have been too wet but you proved me wrong. Although I don't know the weather conditions over the last few days.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I made this video 8 years ago when I was still figuring out what would and would not work.

[@Icu-812-me2]

Fule ➕ heat ➕ o2 =🔥 Simplely amazing every time it happens

[@JohnCapps]

Cool to see so many surfaces that work. A lot of poison ivy next to that stump. You just taught me what a beech tree looks like. We have them here, but I never knew what they were.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

John Capps I don't think I got into that poison ivy too bad. You know when I left there, I was going to set up at a beech tree 3 times bigger than the one I used.... BUT IT WAS COMPLETELY surrounded by poison ivy. Couldn't get to it at all. But the little one worked just fine. Beech trees are the ones that you see people carving initials and graffiti into and the bark is unable to heal itself, so it sort of just stays that way. Thanks for watching and commenting, John.

This is too cool. Thanks for sharing. Atb. Robert

[@colonelchimp]

i really gotta try this fire rolling thing i love it, sorry but i missed what you were putting inside the rolls looked like mag powder, can ya just let this dummy know thanks, keep it up, never knew there were so many ways to get a friction fire going, and there ya are showing us all, good work my friend, thanks,

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Colonelchimp, Bushcraft, Survival and Prepping Ashes. I just take for granted that everybody knows it by now. But that's my error. It's still a brand new technique to even some of the most experienced bush crafters. Standard, straight out of my Hobo Stove, wood ashes. Variety of wood does not matter. Thanks! Make sur you check out boggycreekbeast Channel. He's the one that's revived this 1940's technique. He's who I learned it from. Thanks! kzbin.infofeed

[@colonelchimp]

David West ashes..huh how simple is that...almost as simple as me hahaha, thanks for the heads up, im sure you mentioned it, but i am notriously useless at gleaning information that i need from videos, so always end up asking a dumb question haha, cheers dave

An antique Ontario Knife company knife.I got an old one like that with a straight spine

[@ropeyarn]

This proves that the heat generated is internal to the roll, and using the ash insulates the friction generated heat from the rubbing cotton fibers.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I think most of the heat from friction comes from the microscopic grit of the ash then there's chemical reactions happening also.

[@matthewburlew2904]

David, I watched the video where you used the fibers of a yucca plant and dried them out to use on your fire roll. I've seen you use ash/charcole and rust. Do you have any videos where all your material you used were in the woods? What could you use in place of ash/rust if your out on the wild? pulverized stone dust? I've tried doing the fire roll but it keeps falling apart when I roll it. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

It's all covered in my fire roll playlist. See boggybreekbeast channel for dozens of the options that you request.

[@12Maxdes]

Whats the best thing to use if i cant find cotton ? Say i have literally NOTHING !

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

My fire roll playlist. There are no shortcuts to learning these techniques.

[@OldNavajoTricks]

You can never have enough methods to light a fire, beside a blade edge, I rank fire as the single most important survival priority.

[@kiusau]

Have you done it between river stones?

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

kiusau Yes, please visit my Rudiger Roll Playlist

[@julieclemons6701]

What is the purpose of the wood ashes? Is potassium a catalyst? Is it a higher degree of friction?

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Friction and chemical effects.

David did you live in palmetto fl

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Fort Pierce and a couple of other cities when I was 12.

[@dawnferguson2129]

I don't understand how when you put ash on your fire rolling boards it won't make it glaze up making it slicker.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Micro grit in ashes. You can feel it.

Why would anyone dislike the video?

[@equip2survive]

Great videos! What's the name of the channel in the beginning of your video that you said you were watching their channel? Couldn't quite make it out. BayouCreekBeast? Keep up the great videos!!

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Equip2Survive boggycreekbeast Channel kzbin.infofeed. He's the one that showed everybody this technique from the 1940s. He has 22 videos on the Fire Roll. Thanks!

[@mikerossdurkin]

Careful around that poison ivy!

[@twhite19782012]

Would charcoal ashes work for fire rolls?

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Yes, they did for me.

[@twhite19782012]

@@DavidWestBgood2ppl thank you sir!

[@OldNavajoTricks]

Additional Yup, I find the powdered ashes take slightly better than lumps of charcoal though.

[@phonshop4314]

There was no ashes in the forest.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Bow Drill, hand drill, bamboo fire saw, then make char... take ashes with you this time.
