Emergency Fire lighting Method For Wilderness Survival

Learn how you can still make a fire if your matches ar running out or the lighter fluid or butane is almost gone from your lighter and you have no other way of lighting a fire. Using the "flint and steel" method of fire lighting, charring local found natural materials and using locally found rocks in place of "flint", a fire can be made for the person with the know how. Learn how to char naturally found local materials without a tin. Learn how to then light that char using locally found rocks that will give off adequate sparks to ignite the charred material.

Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires with or without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc

[@VikingPreparedness]

I appreciate your honesty and showing some dificulties. Keeping it real. Thanks

[@gilsoule9028]

Mr. Lonnie I'd like to say the reason I love watching your Channel cuz there's no BS you showed that it can be a struggle to even get charred Punk wood to light you show the true difficulties of trying to do a simple task. Thank you sir and thank your wonderful wife looking forward to the next video.

[@cephasmartin8593]

So funny because Cottonwood is the very definition of punk wood. Another great video. Thanks.

[@outdoorsforachange]

Lonnie could had edited out his mistake, but he didn't. He is a great teacher, period.

[@Ddabig40mac]

Thanks for the persistence video. Just because it looks easy in so many youtube videos doesn't mean it'll be easy when a body really needs that fire. Also, I agree with starting out prepared. And by prepared, I mean a little extra than is needed for the plan. Gotta have a little something for that unexpected 4th or 5th day of the three day trip. This sort of exercise is preparation. Using the fire I planned to have in order to prepare for a fire I hope to not need.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Creating char without a tin is a challenge for sure but worth knowing how to do. Thanks for sharing your technique Lonnie

[@Temp0raryName]

Great teaching technique. Leave in the (minor) mistake, but explain it. For a technique which folks might not need until years after watching this, that problem will stick in folk's minds better, having seen the difficulty you had. So will give us a better chance of getting it right in an emergency.

[@ScottWConvid19]

Thanks for not only showing your learning curve, but explaining about dying the punk wood first

[@ijursic]

Another tool in many toolboxes all over the world, thanks to you.

[@woodswalker7119]

Thanks for being real and showing the struggles and explaining the how to!!! Some folks may show only the strike that created the ember. In the field there are many struggles. Love your channel!

[@nwprimate6416]

Great video Lonnie! 👍 I don't think I've ever seen anyone use leaves like this before, but it looks like a great idea; especially with your layers of green and dry. I will definitely be playing around with this idea. 🙂

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Awesome. Thanks a lot. I have never tried that way of charring before!

[@fredthorne9692]

I never imagined punkwood could be charred. A valuable piece of knowledge. But, I like your first premise (like our old friend, Justin Case, would recommend) - do all you can ahead of time to avoid a desperate situation. I like the liquid butane torch lighter, it never leaked yet. I keep a magnesium bar with ferro in the kit. I've never tried flint (or quartz) and steel with charred fabric. Maybe it's time. Thank you for a great lesson and sound advice.

[@canesser1]

Like the leaves for purposefully making char. I like to pull char from previous nights fire and give it the fire rod treatment and a tinder bundle as practice for just this scenario. The stuff that was buried in the ash makes the best char as a similar process finished it naturally.

[@LGSkywalker82]

A true woodsman is proven by the beard he must hold back while blowing an ember into flame. Awesome Lonny. I will remember this and practice it the next chance I get! Thank you!!

[@timhawkins2502]

Lonnie you said it in the first minute of your video- bulk up on the necessities to survive and then worry about the comforts- love your videos. Happy belated 4th.

[@cap871]

"First of all I recommend you are prepared, you don't run out of matches" Smarter words have never been said

[@59LPGibson]

I see videos where a guy takes one strike of a Ferro rod and one minute later there’s a virtual forest fire! Thanks for keeping it real. It’s a good lesson for anyone to know it may take a lot of time to get it going and will show people not to get too frustrated right away. 👍

[@Hoonozit]

A nice presentation. Catch you on the next one.

[@josephb7460]

Great tip. When all else fails, you have to fall back on your knowledge and skills. This is 1 more thing you can sock away in your brain to help you survive. Thanks.......

[@aisforrebel9310]

"Being prepared" Two is one, one is none- having two (of anything) firestarters means you only have one, and having one means you shouldn't count on just that. Great video Lonnie

[@fourseasonsnorth]

This is very informative. Apparently, chaga isn't just cancer fighting, immune boosting, and one of the world's top antioxidant foods, you can use as a fire starter! So many of us have lost connection to God's creation and what it has to offer. Thanks, Lonnie and Connie, for keeping and sharing these time-tested and practical wilderness skills.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Thanks my friend/s. Chaga is also good for lowering cholesterol levels. I had been drinking my home made chaga tea for maybe a year when I had some testing done. The doctor told me I had the cholesterol levels of a 19 year old. I was eating a lot of fried foods at the time since I worked in a remote location and loved the french fries, deep fried shrimp as well as fried steaks. In other words my C levels should have been higher but were instead at super healthy levels. God has given us many powerful natural medicinals in the woods. He indeed is a loving God who cares for us.

[@danielarmstrong7233]

I like the fact that you show it to take time and doesn't always work right away.

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

This video was all about alternatives and remembering kit hey, you have to remember to bring the punk wood to do this so make it easy on yourself and remember the lighter or flint and steel, great tip about the punk wood and where to find it though. ATB Moose.

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

Always bringing us handy knowledge. Thanks Lonnie. Take care.

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Excellent display of primitive fire techniques Professor... Really cool to know charring tricks that do not involve the perfect tin. Once again, your knowledge is appreciated and headed. Watch your Top knot!

[@indyoutsider]

Thanks Lonnie for the tool for the tool box. Good knowledge. see ya in the next one.

[@MichaelR58]

Lonnie, thanks for sharing your knowledge !

[@PlainStraightShooter]

Always enjoy your videos. I like you want the preps with me for backup. Have char preps or waxed cotton balls and even a small bag of dry grasses makes a world of difference. And it’s no weight really are space to take up. And of course source. Matches and lighters but like you say a char with a flint and steel method is very good back up. Thanks again Lonnie and Connie. 👍🏻

[@iamwilddog5842]

I learned a lot from your video and teaching how to do it God bless you

[@TressaZimmerman]

I believe there is always something to learn from each of your videos. Thanks.

[@killslay]

Can't wait to try this on my next trip in a few days. Thanks Lonnie!

[@calvanrootselaar6243]

Thanks Lonnie, always good to know different fire starting methods.

[@tomcondon6169]

You are the expert of course. I would pull that punk wood charcoal out and quell the ember for next time.

[@351WINCHESTER]

Thanks for sharing some of your vast knowledge Lonnie. Take care & God bless!

[@cj_m2477]

Great video Lonnie! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone!

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

I padded the message on to the "Granddaughter" for ya. :O)

[@BrianHassanBadi]

The one thing I learned from you is the most often overlooked and that is patience. God bless you all

[@1fanger]

Hey Lonnie. Good hearing from you. Your videos continue to inspire. Be well, you and your family. Joe

[@chefboy2160]

Thank you sir! This video could and probably will save someones life. God bless you Lonnie!

Thanks for another great lesson Lonnie,its amazing to me all the bush craft methods that you know and share freely,thank you for that.Many of us don't live in the wild but it is still always wise to keep your skills up,especially now a days with society the way it is.Take care my friend and keep safe,peace

[@guy612006]

Thank you for this bit of knowledge, I am not a flint and steel person, but I understand the importance of having char material for fire lighting and holding a coal for extra time. I have always wondered about how to char without a tin, and not light the whole forest on fire.

[@hikerdaven.e.bigfoot9443]

You are the man Lonnie!!! Great video! I learn tons from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to teach your different mothods of fire lighting, and your videos on different types of fires. Looking forward to the next one already.

[@MrRoman-lo6ih]

Hiker Dave N.E I know. I love him sharing his knowledge.

[@VE3FAL1Fred]

Awesome video Lonnie and great steps to making char from punked wood. Cheers Fred

Great video and excellent demo. Thanks

[@wesrazz5874]

You are the real deal in this realm.

[@dcslapout5697]

Enjoy everyone. It’s good when you learn something. Thanks Sir

[@northwoodsrat6686]

Thanks Lonnie . Very much agree with you concerning overall preparedness above everything else . For me , that usually means little things that we can all do , like carrying spare items for back up such as an extra compass , alternate fire starting options and a companion knife , to name a few . Great tip on using the spine of the Silky BB 2000 to get sparks . Had planned on having mine available as a spare scraper to use with my ferro rods , but completely overlooked it's potential to be used as you had demonstrated . Recently received another great tip from Aaron over at Bushcraft North Of 60 related to this video ; the use of naturally available charred wood from lightning struck trees and /or previous fores fires .Though i'd share this in hopes that some viewers might possibly benefit from it . All the best to you and Connie .

[@yobentley7274]

Great job Lonnie. I really learned something that could save my life or others.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Great stuff, Lonnie! Another idea to add to my library of fire starting methods.

[@tikkidaddy]

Interesting snuff method. Who woulda thought? Thanks Lon !

[@thomasgold-1000]

Awesome information, thank you so much for sharing the „green leaves trick“!👌👍

[@scottmcintosh2988]

Awesome tutorial, Last weekend I started my first fire with a magnifying glass, its was just one more skill to add to my knowledge. Thanks for this charring tip.

[@alan4tattooz]

The King of Survival hints tips and tricks :)

[@outdoorsforachange]

I love this couple!!!

[@ahayseed654]

Good presentation Lonnie. Another option for smuthering the charred material is to have a shallow hole dug out, lined with those green leaves, drop in the charr, cover with more leaves then dirt. You have a good day.

[@TheSemtexCow]

Perseverance and practice, plus a good teacher 😉. All the best to you both 👍.

[@outdoorsmen8662]

Awesome video!!!!!!! Well explained.

[@ronbutler6526]

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

Great vid Lonnie - I'll be practicing this method for sure! Thanks for the info!

[@WayneTheSeine]

Great tip Lonnie. I have never heard of this method. Seems to work great. Planning that next fire is the essence of survival ...particularly long term.

[@waitaminute-vw9hf]

This is great demonstration. I can do this! Where I live there are lots of cottonwoods and quartz and I just happen to have a small Silky. Thanks Lonnie for sharing your vast knowledge of skills.

[@gotmymojoworking2010]
