Survival Lilly o

[@ALIENORIGINSALIEN]

[@minutemanqvs]

The dog looks like the happiest dog in the world :)

[@TheChronicRhythm]

was literally about to type this before seeing your comment

[@Rampster27]

My goal in life is to one day be as happy as that dog.

[@Marc83Aus]

Highlight of the video. My Jess loves pulling up roots in the garden that way too.

[@CanadianPrepper]

When I first seen the title I thought "gawd not another firesteel video" was I sure glad I clicked by the end, you managed to provide a few unique tips and successfully challenge one of the most common firesteel techniques. Great job!

[@JayWandersOut]

Canadian Prepper She did a great job going over something that's been commonly covered already. Hopefully any newcomers to the skill come upon this first so they don't waste their time.

[@DrummingSurvivalist]

Canadian Prepper I liked it a lot to great pointers

[@KL-bg8fi]

👍🏾

[@marcincendrowski5675]

Is that an emergency arrowhead necklace thats a really cool idea

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Great lesson on fire steel basics Lilly. Thanks.

[@FravasTheBard]

Survival On Purpose Are you going to start using it on your videos too?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I pretty much do most of the time now. I realized while I was watching this that my technique has sort of evolved into doing it this way.

[@thatviolinkid9743]

Survival On Purpose hi love you vids and I am life in boy scouts and only 14

[@MagdaSantos999]

Hi, Lilly, I'm a fan and have been watching for years! I'm sending this video to my aunt in Belize she lives in the bush and at 75 years old she could use some help making her morning fire for coffee. A profound thanks for keeping this channel going.

[@bill4913]

Hi Lilly, Thanks for the info. Dax is playful as always. Your country looks beautiful right now. Looking forward to see your next video.

[@Ozarkwonderer]

I like that you not only showed wat you consider a better technique for the fire steel but then followed threw and proved it

[@nightw4tchman]

So great to see an older video of yours Lilly. Awesome stuff and very informative.

[@nilodrallub7812]

LOVE the new adventures of "SURVIVAL LILLY" Watching you and Dax outdoors is always a treat !

[@overthehilloutdoors6779]

I admire your survival skills and enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@kazvswild]

One of the best reviews I've seen using fire steel.

[@TedsOutdoors]

Another fantastic video! I love seeing you and your dog having fun in the woods!

[@waynemcmillan5970]

Great stuff Lilly, please keep the videos coming!!!

[@fahtenfuhten]

After trying 20 minutes to start a small fire without success and I said "omg I've got a looong way until I get >0% chance to survive out there", I googled and spotted this video. And on 1:20 was the most valuable info ever! Needless to say, I went straight to try again, and I succeeded with the 1st trial. Omg the power of info!!!

[@DSims-xh1bw]

Great video. All of your videos are very informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.

[@saradreaming]

Excellent Demonstration Lilly! I totally agree with you on your technique. I also love that you were using the scraper that comes with the firesteel so efficiently. So much more practical that using the knife for everything. As always, It's always a pleasure to see you and Dax, and I hope your enjoying your weekend. :-)

[@KarlHeger]

Perfekt erklärt Lilly. Ja unser Mike hat schon einiges am Kasten. Danke dir fürs genaue erklären. LG Carlos

[@tikisailor]

Your videos are really informative and well made. Thanks for sharing.

[@dwaynerobertson3291]

Thanks, Lilly!! Love your videos!

[@The_Stoic_PhilosopherAU]

While Lily is recovering I have been catching up with all of the old KZbin clips. 5 straight hours, so far.

[@fredbasset1711]

another excellent video. Love the photography and Dax.

[@sogua2000]

excellent to review the fire technique so we can correct it too. Thank you for your useful videos. Success in all your future projects

[@Mike-ul1xn]

i like to save the lint from the dryer to keep in a tin for emergencies. it's kinda cheating, but it works great!

[@scott27288]

If you ever find yourself in a survival situation, nothing is cheating if it keeps you alive.

[@davidblowe9096]

I have 2 eclipse mint tin's loaded with cotton ball's soaked in kerosine which will be going in the SHTF kit

[@kevinthewanderingwoodchuck2586]

Very helpful video! Out the door I go to try it!! Thank you so much, keep up the good work.

[@wolf1066]

Great demonstration of what techniques work best for different tinders. Thanks for that. +1 for Light My Fire ferro rods - great product, the striker works fine (no need to grind the back of the knife) and has a built-in emergency whistle.

[@godan51351]

Nice video Lilly! Informative and entertaining to boot! Dax makes me laugh!

[@Querencias7]

Very nice video. Excellent, practical recommendations. Thanks!

[@judyrasmussen3142]

Extremely informative, and wonderfully helpful demonstrations.

[@SeaCatFl]

Good video Lilly, Keep them coming.

[@dowdawg]

Regular camping and tips are by far your best vids !!! With the fun retakes thrown in...

[@DerGoldwaescher]

Hallo Lilly, tolle Vorstellung wie man einen Firesteel am effektivsten einsetzt und das Video ist natürlich super gemacht. Danke fürs zeigen. LG Jürgen

[@lnwolf41]

As always you show what will and won't work, thanks for the information and the demonstration.

[@runningwithscissors0911]

Love your dog, love your channel, just bought a Fire Steel. Thank you!

[@markaugustus621]

Great job sharing good information on the proper use of the fire steel.

[@mkdy218]

Thanks Lilly . Great video

[@colinbrown4008]

Excellent video Lilly x

[@lukesurvival]

Great video Lilly!

[@jennifersaunders4473]

My son and I are camping beginners. We each started our first fires thanks to this video!! Thank you so much for your help!!

[@Nimrodgizmo]

Hi Lilly, I got a new Schrade knife today and it came with the firesteel and scraper and a sharpening stone. Carbon steel 1/4" thick blade SCHF36 $30. and you just showed me how to use the firesteel and I got it to make many sparks. Thank you so much. love you, Nimrod

[@chriscole5784]

Thank you for a very well done and informative video. I leaned a lot and my vizsla Hunter very much enjoyed watching and listening to Dax.

[@jahhyluv]

Thanks. Great to see the basics.

[@shadowcastre]

Lilly.. I always enjoy watching your videos! One variable for you on fire steel/ferro rods is whether the ferro rod is hard or soft. A soft fire steel will have more magnesium in it and the sparks will burn longer and hotter than ones struck from a harder fire steel, giving more options to technique and tinders. Thanks for the video.. Shad

[@drcsep]

Great refreshing video Lilly. Gracias

[@Meymeygwis]

This is great and covers much of what I teach...thank you, will pass on!

[@Darignobullseye]

No one has ever shown me the different techniques and why they work. THANK YOU!! this helps me and how to teach it.

[@notnimify]

Awesome Lilly!! I just bought my first fire steel and "was" haveing the same problems and was wondering why these things are so great now that I know how to do it it's all good. :D Awesome video Lilly thanks

[@margaretdavis1188]

Thank you for your concrete examples.

[@nobull-dozer3356]

I had not thought of the third way of doing it thank you Lilly

[@umreeh]

This really was helpful. Others make it look like it could light anything but there are other factors I didn't know about.

[@0HARE]

Thank you for a good, instructional video. Happy Camping

[@ArthurBaker]

Thanks again. Very helpful.

[@RaymondLesher]

I'm brand new to bushcraft and have been struggling due to my bad technique. This video is really helpful. Thank you!!!

[@richr7604]

What a great dog!! Good info on how to properly use firesteel.👍

[@VTPSTTU]

I appreciate your no nonsense videos.

[@wyomingslabjacking4190]

Hi Lilly. If you put a little of that magnesium in the middle of the pine nettles the flash will ignite the nettles. they just have a low flash point.

[@brandonquenneville7330]

they have a high flash point* high temps to ignite .... gasoline=low flash

[@JohnPaul-gh1fh]

Good job on the feather stick! I'm impressed!

[@MovingThings]

Gute Erklärung, vielen Dank!

[@swissalpinsurvival6111]

sehr informativ :) danke für s zeigen :)

[@fusselchen1234]

that was really helpful =) thank you

[@gimmebackmykale]

Great Video. A simple but often overlooked part of firesteel technique. If the sparks aren't getting close enough to the tinder, you won't get fire. You are right on. Great job!

[@TheDeathOfPassion]

Hi, I would like to know where did you get your "necklace". thank you for making all theses videos. very helpful insight Lilly

[@The.Punisher.80]

Schön schön, Firesteel Videos sind immer zündend:)LG Jörg

[@KL-bg8fi]

Great video👍🏾

[@louisstringer9735]

Awesome vid! Thanks :)

[@phillipdavis5241]

good video, PS I love your dog! he's so amusing

[@Mike-uj1wr]

Great Video!

[@stefanl-d6803]

Hallo Lilly, super Technik, danke fürs zeigen. LG Stefan

[@HaphazardHomestead]

Nice closeup filming of all your examples!

[@ninivec.8678]

Very good! I loved it! You rock girl!

[@jswarpaint6215]

Finally a video on fire steel that shows one the best method to use with the steel to get the best spark and actually what forest products to use to light it rather than relying solely on carrying around 400 cotton balls or blocks of magnesium

[@zviadg6112]

thanks for shearing your experiences...

[@joekelly9369]

Just bought an ember rock firesteel .its a beast , 6" long and almost half inch thick perfect for months in the wild 😀😀😀

[@blitzb4]

Thanks Lilly!

[@musterma]

Thank you, you just teached me how to use the fire steel properly. I just made fire with a dry leaf and with dry moss that i found outside :-) feels good

[@Raykenn1]

Another great video Lilly . Because of the abundance of pine, you should be able to find "fat lighter". Another excellent fire starter, especially if you have a lot of wet or damp wood.

[@walkingwithjerry]

great tips Lily. myself i have several bic lighters in my pack. but i do have a firesteel for back up.

[@ianbutler1983]

Excellent, thanks.

[@Willys-Adventures]

good video loved the ending

[@stuartrobinson2983]

Excellent video as usual Lilly. what is the Bahco knife you are using?

[@ralphaxelsson]

Nice vid, as always! :)

[@phillipdavis5241]

I love your dog! He's funny. Good info by the way.🤗

[@ivandrago7546]

Wonderful videos, I watched three hours straight!

[@halusko65]

Thank you. I´have finally realized where I did mistake all the time :)

[@Starlightv74]

Great information - thank you. Wondering what brand the knife you were using there is please?

[@phillipdavis5241]

I just love your dog!

[@neilshepherd1904]

Different trees and tinder grow in Australia. Dogs love digging and exploring though just the same. Thanks for these tips. Peace.

[@PurpleBox89]

Good lesson, thanks! Where did you get your necklace? Looks like another handy item.

[@shibumi5210]

NO ONE loved bushcraft and the earth more than Dax... cracks me up every time I see a video with him just wallowing on the ground joyfully, or digging frantically for something! Hope you're in doggie heaven little buddy...

[@BraxxJuventa]

Good advise. Thank you!:)

[@ianhoward3417]

Thanks for this Lilly it's been most helpful. I'll take you with me on my next outing and watch this again how you start the fire. Thanks again. 😊x

[@thomaswest7527]

Hi Lilly,your vids are great!! Thanks for sharing! I've learned a lot from them!! Western North Carolina guy

[@RickKepple]

Oh ... that's good to know! You did a lot of work on teaching what woods to use! Thank you! Would you recommend carrying some fire starting tinder in damp weather when backpacking?

[@outlanderbushcraft3100]

Great video thanks for sharing , atb Martin

[@filmic1]

Pretty cool necklace/pendant, Lilly.

[@JamesWhite-mh3op]

Hi Lilly , just watched this video ,,,Pleased I did , as I wish to get one. Glad you showed us how to use one ,,as I had NO IDEA ..... Regads& best wishes. .jimi from Australia. .😆

[@chipoftheundead]

I've seen feathering done to make a firestick for once the tinder is lit but never used as the tinder. Great idea.

[@jimwilliams2753]

very nice video. very informative. what is the necklace you are wearing in this video. and what is the knife you are using

[@TheDragon1986z13]

The doggo is loving it

[@paulwastaken]

I like the way you used your firesteel striker to shave off fat wood and birch bark. nice and saves your knife edge. I do use the back f my knife for this but this method (striker) is also great.
