Bushcraft Essentials | Wet Weather Fire Techniques

Techniques and fire lays for wet and windy weather fires
This video is part of the Bushcraft Essentials series. It covers easy ways to get a fire started during wet and windy conditions. I also cover a few fire lays that would help encourage ignition. The main tip is to be patient and put a lot of effort in preparing the fire prior lighting.
Huge thank you to Moses for my lovely hat :)
I hope you enjoy :)
Take care x

I hope you are all doing well. Sorry I am unable to answer any comments or messages - I am away on a 5 week camping trip with no signal so sadly I can’t respond to all your lovely messages. I am very sorry but will get back to you as soon as I am back home. I think you will love this video I am currently filming! Take care x

[@JamesMcCutcheon]

Hey, I just found your channel. Thank you very much for the video. You pack a lot of information into 1 video. I just got interested in doing bush crafting about 3 weeks ago. I purchased some knives and some Magnesium Iron fire maker rod. I got 2 Mora knives and ordered a Machete and a 14-inch camping hatchet. I like your video, I will practice in my back yard first. Thank you again. I live in Northern Alabama.

[@marcoplaten6020]

thanks, for your attention, take care of yourself, make beautiful videos, happiness ...

[@andreyschneider9934]

Thank you for the quality films, you motivate me again and again, to go Hiking, wandering around at night trails! That's it! I watch the latest video with you and that's it! My wife is already getting jealous, and if I keep watching, she won't let me go camping anymore. Very interesting videos I can not tear myself away, thank you for your efforts!!!

[@70agrr]

This is the time we should all be practicing fire lighting, when its wet, very nice vid.

[@WilderhopeAdventures]

Just came across your channel...so rare to find other ladies into outdoor life, camping and bushcraft, and even rarer to find another female outdoor channel into bushcraft and wildcamping...loving it...there are too few of us out there. You Rock.

[@johndavidson6867]

Wonderful Becky, it never ceases to amaze me with how much you are able to share, being as young as you are, I just love it. Your presentation is awesome teaching without belittling, which can be hard to do. I hope you have a wonderful hike with lots to share when you get back. Take care and stay safe.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you, really appreciate that James! Take care

[@semco72057]

You are well prepared to survive in the wilderness with your knowledge of fire making and there is one thing I would do before going out camping. You can collect the lint from the clothes dryer and place it in a container to have just to begin a fire with. I have some which I have collected and will use it the next time I go into the forest. Your knife is perfect for the purpose you are using it for and good you have that type. The skills you are showing us here is what everyone should be knowing when going into the forest. I hope everyone who is new to fire starting have learned something from this video and know a little more about surviving outdoors in different conditions.

[@SheepDogActual]

[@b0ndez]

Awesome

[@youcefbenchadi3713]

Thank you

[@HarshmanHills]

pine and birch are awesome at starting the fire due to their resins inside.

[@jimmyjimmy951]

Harshman Hills Yep, go for the “Fat Wood”. All weather fire starter and stays water resistant if you carry a few sticks in a fire kit..

[@czarny7949]

Amazing channel :)

[@MrHerks]

Hope you are having a great trip! This video is so timely lol I've been practicing using the rod and haven't been having much success, I'm gonna try shaving the bark like you did, I was trying to use leaves etc... Great video, thanks! Love the new knife but still partial to the Boar lol

[@davidsweeney111]

that swedish torch looks interesting, could you go into more detail please, cheers for a great video!

[@relaxslowtv2837]

Making a fire also requires skill. cool.

[@jacko8022]

youare just amazing

[@tjelky-outside7161]

Thank you~I love ❤️ you

[@john1cheree]

You can also use steel to start a fire in almost any weather. Once it starts it burns HOT!. which should help start a wet weather wood tender that may have a higher than normal amount of moisture. PS, that is a very nice looking knife.

[@happyfishing735]

awesome video keep fighting 👍👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

Great video becky have a great time away atvb jimmy 😎😎

[@robertreynolds9228]

Hey becky great to see you 😃. Hope you and lou are doing well.

[@jaymore3693]

yellow cedar is good to start, it will burn when wet, lots and lots of sap. i also start my fires on dry wood usually split wood, stops heat going to the wet ground.

[@alimbo9436]

The first and last time I tried to light a fire, it didn't go to plan and we spent the night cold and wet, eating freezing food. I'm adamant for a different story next time. Thanks for the tips!

[@omahaomaha8694]

Very beautiful girl and intelligent at making campfires great combination 😘

[@ApostolCOctavian]

Bring Buster more often please :D

[@oldfarmshow]

I almost over looked this video

[@cnawan]

Do you ever carry a small candle for tinder/accelerant? There's no birch or pine in native bush here in rainy New Zealand so I was taught to use the tipi + feather stick + candle combination as a kid on school camps.

[@randolphthorbeck1231]

year very good from fire system

[@user-zu9bk8pq8i]

👍

[@bryanbadger6841]

Good NZ morning Becky. Love your channel. Um you can also take a normal school type pencil sharpener with you. And collect the shavings. Enjoy your 5 weeks away. Take care and stay safe. Until next time. Cya.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much! Take care :)

[@dhraiefsaid6398]

[@jacobpeterson1165]

Although friction fire and flint and steel can overcome dampness through heat, causing the birds nest to dry before catching. All depends on your materials though

[@jamesturkmen5025]

Can you make a blister prevention video for hiking and bushcraft?

[@15205golfer]

Glad to see your lovely face, again!

[@rogermeeks9475]

do you how to make a torch? the way they did it in the past was to get a small log and the small sticks and tie the sticks to the end of the log and fire up the sticks, now with that said you can make half a torch by taking your sticks just some of them and tie them together then use your birch bark to light the bundle and then once it is lit and burning well put it into the rest of your sticks and add larger sticks till you get the fire you want. P.S. you can make up a lot of small bundles of sticks so you can use them later. as always in joy

[@backpackersandi]

Like you

[@rajaneeshat2081]
