EASY Fire Starting Technique Bushcraft | Camping

Whatever tool you plan on using... Matches, Lighters, Ferro rod or Flint & Steal, this fire making technique will work for you. This is my go to method of making a fire when wild camping of bushcrafting. It's also a great skill to know if you've found yourself in a survival situation. All materials I use have been foraged from the woodland.
I'm confident this will also work in wet and rainy, even windy conditions as long as you follow the process properly and you don't skip steps.
Fire Preparation is the most important part of the whole process, I always setup up four piles of materials. When building my camp fire.
There is a lot of tips & tricks out there on fire making but I want to keep this video focused on one specific method.
You can also add birch bark and fatwood to this method (really flammable natural material) and if possible I recommend you add some of this material to your fire kit on those days where the conditions do not allow you to forage.
Let me know your methods of making that campfire when out camping in the comments below.
Leave no trace. LNT
Hope you enjoy!

I learnt something there. I knew about fat wood but didn’t know where to search for it! So thanks for that Dazzy! 👌

[@DazzyOutdoors]

I have to admit its only recently I went out searching and found some for the first time. Great addition to my fire kit.

[@moorshound3243]

Nice video again. Great straightforward tips. I like how you have videos on many different subjects. But like you say, a more detailed advice is welcome too. Just make videos that you like to make, you have plenty of followers who keep watching.

[@DazzyOutdoors]

Thanks mate. Yeah I’ll keep on going as I am. Really enjoy doing a mix of the wild camps and these style vids

[@anthonyleithead3224]

Hi bro, I'm back to watch your video. Keep doing your best

[@DazzyOutdoors]

Nice one mate. Thanks for watching!

[@Mark--Todd]

No arguments with any of that. Good solid advice without sounding like a 'know it all'. Top man.

[@DazzyOutdoors]

Cheers Mark!

[@Followthepath89]

Top bloke loving the vids dazzy 😎 as somebody who doesn’t get to go that often the advice is appreciated my man

[@DazzyOutdoors]

Thanks Stuart. Really enjoying making them like so my pleasure.

[@Followthepath89]

Like seeing these rather than expensive tent reviews like another video you have done explaining about camping in rain that’s what most of us come up against so it’s refreshing other than check out my 2lb setup that cost me 2500 lol 😂

[@kennethwilson8633]

That’s all great and if all else falls use your hand sanitizer or alcohol from your Trangia stove. Have fun stay safe.

[@margaretadler6162]

Great advice about when gathering tender and trying to from condensation a cotton bag is my choice for carrying dried tenders I also carry a couple of sticks of fat wood and a small bit of jute twine! I really enjoy your videos and your down to earth sense of humor! Keep up your fine videos! ATB Sam Adler from Vietnam

[@DazzyOutdoors]

Thank you so much Sam. I’ve started using fatwood a lot recently and it’s great stuff too

[@tash8755]

Fab video! You make it look so simple!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@DazzyOutdoors]

All about the preparation then it is simple stuff

[@emmakirby7402]

Did you make a broader video? If not then yes please I'm going out camping soon and been practising using my flint.. last time I made a fire I ran out of stuff to burn and it died on me around 1am 😅 think it was last Feb so was pretty cold

[@holmenadventurecamp]

Cheers, keep em flowing. Have to ask, do you do you own photografy? Asking because i think i know witch ones are yours. Anyway kind of dig it, its cool. Best wishes! I think you got it in ya to do all your own photogafy. Or i am a super doush and your awsome :D

[@DazzyOutdoors]

Some are my own but I also use some from royalty free websites. Thanks mate! Yeah, as i'm building up my own footage I plan to faze out the other stuff

[@holmenadventurecamp]

@@DazzyOutdoors cheers for responding, dont mean to be rude. Great fire lighting informasjonal. Liked how you split it into 4. hadnt heard that before, or tought it. Think ill steal that if you dont mind 👌🏻🤔

[@martyl425]

hello bro, hope your OK, cool vid , like the twine idea . you've mentioned in other vids about fat wood but you covered that in video so that's cool.do you always make the same size fire?. love learning from your vids I've just bought a axe which I need to pick up and I got titanium cook pot delivered this morning so itching to get out and use them. do you do one pot cooking and if so what do you cook ? hope your OK mate,have a nice weekend.

[@DazzyOutdoors]

Usually just the same size fire. I know people like to make longer fires if they're using them to stay warm overnight. I'd like to give that a try one time.. Just a fire and a wool blanket. Sounds good mate! I normally just cook on a little grill, I need to up my cooking game so I should start using a pot also. Let me know if you cook up some nice meals, I might steal some ideas of you haha

@@DazzyOutdoors I'm struggling a bit with the recipes so far I have beef stew or lamb stew.
