Hi Becky. A tip for fire starting for you in one word, Straw. A plastic straw will work and weighs almost nothing. If you want a permanent straw just use a collapsable antenna from an old radio. No need to pay the price for the same thing they sell online just for fire starting. Remove the inner section, maybe 2, and you can then direct the air precisely with minimal risk to your hair when the flame starts.

[@depdannyj1]

I enjoy just watching you. There aren't many young women over here in the USA that are interested in these skills and today's society. Keep up the good work.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Danny, yeah there isn't many women these days who do bush craft :/

[@depdannyj1]

There aren't many women that want to get outside period now a days....

[@rainzelfeliciano7713]

I'm watching from the Philippines....

[@hikewithmike4673]

Awesome!..i love flint and steel..it becomes addictive once you get the hang of it!

[@duxdawg]

For many excellent reasons Percussion Fire Ignition (aka Flint & Steel) was the dominant method for producing an ember in all weather conditions for the 5,000 years before matches and lighters superseded it. The Ancient Egyptians, Vikings, Romans, Inuit, North American Fur Traders, and many other people groups across the millennia all relied upon F&S.

[@ffstopP]

you're a patient and thorough teacher. thanks.

[@JJ-ws5kj]

pure enjoyment, miss Harriet, you two make a great team.

Outstanding !! I will be starting a fire with the magnifier on my Victorinox this season. I have so much planned. Been incapacitated nearly 7 years. Literally going to crawl back into the forest. Good stuff miss Girl Mississippi Gul Coast USA ~rad~

[@hubertfox4376]

It's nice seeing you grow with nature Becky

[@awkward-stranger]

I have never seen it done this way. Thank you

[@davidhopson2004]

Becky as always love your videos my friend.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you :))

[@Casey1pj]

Jute twine is excellent for flint and steel but also Cattail down, Dried milkweed seed, dried thistle seed heads, Birch bark scrapings and Pine bark scrapings. Some places have something that grows on branches and when it dies it looks like hair dangling off the branch. I think they call it hang mans beard or something like that. It's supposed to be excellent for flint fire. All of these things light up easily with a ferro rod but you will have to practice with different techniques when using flint and steel. This was an excellent tutorial for beginners Becky. You were very thorough in your explanations. The comeback with the magnifying glass more than made up for the camera crash. It was like an advanced course. Hehe. So glad to see that your camera is back up and running and that you managed to get your boat and some of your gear back. Bravo! Awesome Video As Always! Thanks!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much Casey, yes they are great materials for flint and steel, with have to give it a go with them. Aha thanks again, atb

[@krawie77]

Reminded me a lot of bundling a nest for Boy Scout competitions. Great job, and keep the outdoorsy skills coming!

[@samsworldofrations6996]

Being prepared is everything, time taken up front reduces the time when needed 👍

[@jessecagle3116]

Congratulations on all your success and your future success.

[@kamranfoladi7149]

Good job, very great lesson and many thanks

[@cabinlife2347]

nice video Becky. And such a great spring day you were enjoying there. Still snow here.. lol We really enjoyed it and it's nice to see you sharing what you've learned and passing along the skills. And as you said ... The practice will give success, and as the number of successful attempts grow, so will your confidence. Then, when you have 'success' with every attempt in all kinds of conditions.. then, you have 'Mastered" the technique. Until that point we are students practising the technique.. mastery will eventually come with continued success. Thanks for sharing. Glenn & Maureen.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much Glenn and Maureen :) atb

[@ghillieful]

Great video Becky, and also glad you got your gear recovered! :-) Things happen but, at least this time thankfully, not all was lost.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much

[@marty01957]

Great job , Becky! Another good video ! If you have any trouble holding your focus with the magnifying glass , you can hold a stick in the same hand with one end on the ground and simply lean the stick down to find the focal point. It's such a pleasure watching you learn these skills, and occasionally teaching this old dog new tricks!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you :))) atb

[@maxallister66]

Well done Becky. Cant wait for the hand/bow drill. Keep practicing.

[@GirlOutdoors]

[@donnance1480]

WOW! Awesome video yet again Becky! You have indeed come a long way and your Mom came to the rescue when you *thought* that you had failed to demonstrate the flint method. Very good camera work, Mom! Some advise for you, Becky, never be your own critic...you will succeed and you will fail, however, THE measure of success is your personal determination and fortitude...of which, you have no lacking :) Sending much love from the Great Smoky Mountains...yes, it IS beautiful here too...come and visit sometime :)
