[@iammongo2106]

I've watched most of your videos. I am surprised you actually found a day that did NOT rain during your filming long enough to start a fire with solar ignition!

[@blackhatbushcraft]

Excellent demo Shawn. Solar ignition is my favorite method to use when it is available. The pot lid was a new one for me. Take care bro. Well done.

[@recall5811]

Thank you Sir, More to come

[@N0body247]

Damn, I like the parabolic light reflector, I never thought of using a car light reflector. Awesome sauce.

[@christopherbunik2116]

Thank you for sharing so many ways to igniting char cloth. I really love the way you have the holes for your char can on the edge of can so you can make it and store it.

[@michaelallen9571]

That's impressive, have never heard of the pot lid but that was awesome. Love the information your channel puts out

[@recall5811]

thank you and thanks for watching. please share this video and my channel with others

[@jplamb77]

Thanks to Your Teaching and Demonstration’s,,, I can Honestly say that I Extremely Confident in being able to take care of my family and myself. This my friend,, I owe primarily to You and your Excellent Teaching Techniques,,,!!!! Thanks Joshua

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

Your demo of the "parabolic" lens reminded me of a solar cigarette lighter sold in the back of magazines 30-40 years ago (same era as "sea monkeys"). I'll definitely remember the parabolic lens ! Excellent production - as usual !

[@jerrywhidby5259]

I love how the bird freaks out as soon as he says bird's nest.

[@recall5811]

The bird knows what's up, thanks for watching

[@WindWolfAlpha]

It wouldn't surprise me if the bird was one that had its nest yoinked by Corporal in the past! Lol

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

That pot lid! Thanks for sharing this. Take care.

[@cliff9057]

Liked all the methods of using solar. The can was a new one for me . Thanks for the video.

[@mikebrooka9395]

Fine clay and black bottom silt polishes​ very well and quick. Maple and oak leaves can get a final mirror finish.

[@meme3954]

Thank you for showing how to make char cloth. Seems very useful and quick. A resource that people don't realize is that old projection TVs have huge magnifying screens in them. You can cut a screen up and have a magnifying sheet for a lot of people and concentrate them on your food to actually cook it like a solar stove. People don't realize that these TV screens are valuable survival tools and they end up in a landfill.

[@mrkultra1655]

I imagine the pot lid method would work best at high noon. Great one, thanks Corporal.

[@prizantsproducts4u]

WOW, I had no idea you could light a fire with those ways. Hubbs Harry and I were talking about when we used to take a magnifying glass and shine it on paper on the sidewalk to catch it on fire, when we were silly kids! LOL! Very interesting lessons - thank you!

[@lgwjrwhite588]

I heard of those methods never seen it done now i have OUTSTANDING thank you brother semper fydelis (northern canada )excellent vids as usual

[@recall5811]

thanks for the encouragement. Please share this video with others

[@ThePostApocalypticInventor]

Great summary and practical demonstration of various methods! I really appreciate your style: Informative and to the point! Have been binge-watching your channel last night :D

[@inkster1586]

The sun wouldn't work for you to start a fire anymore because for you the world ended already.

[@gappuma7883]

I like your channel too

[@johnvaldez8830]

Great video. Solar ignition is the way to go. Thanks for sharing.

[@richardsplker303]

Great video I really enjoyed it just a note I've seen this done with a plastic bag with water added once again you are teaching us to think outside the box thank you

[@MeyersCTR]

Well done! I sorta knew those but I doubt I would have recalled them without your demonstration. Thank you

[@mender722]

Very interesting. I learned a few new methods for making fire. There are so many ways, primitive and modern. I still have my very first bow drill kit I made way back in the 80's when I first learned friction fire at a survival school.

[@markatkinson9963]

Bottom of the can is a new trick for me. Thanks for sharing that.

[@legilnnine]

I like your no b/s style. Keep up the great work.

[@vladimirrangelalonso9106]

It's great that you run in real time, tbat way we know how fast each method works!!!

[@chrisduhaime5689]

That's good information to learn ! The glass marble is good . Noticed in recent years it's hard to find good magnification glass . Only finding plastic detuned one's that won't start a FIRE .

[@ksturmer5388]

Simply 'OUTSTANDING' Sir!!! :) I'm working my way through your back catalogue. This should help the algorithm a little, in your favor. Best wishes from the UK. Thanks for all of your time, really learning a lot. All the best to you and your family, Sir.

[@dannyh9010]

Outstanding! A fun title would have been "Start fire with your skivvies!"

[@Jaden48108]

Just when you think you've seen about everything on how to ignite a fire voila' you present new methods I've not seen before. I think I'll write these down so I don't forget them. Thanks. By the way, instead of using cotton squares to make char cloth I use cotton rope from a mop head to make char rope. You'd be surprised how effective they are.

[@plarh8r163]

I am so glad that I have found your channel. I feel confident that if I am ever put into a survival situation I wouldn't just survive I would thrive and have a good time doing it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge you rock

[@melvinhowell5469]

Tremendous presentation, Sir...as you said, "That was outstanding!"

[@knutelindstrom3716]

When you said to transfer it to a birds nest, that bird chirping in the background was like, “you best not be using my nest!” LOL

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Wish I could give multiple thumbs up. Agree with always having 3 and those 3, in particular. Burning lens allows one to be frugal with (ration) the other two, when necessary. Had never considered the pot lid. Have a bunch of those, in the kitchen. They're common at thrift stores, so economical to purchase and repurpose - to keep peace in the family :-) All good to know. All good to practice, especially in trying conditions. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnjames218]

Looks like the sun is a number one method for making fires, saving on all the other resources I carry a lens in my wallet at all times Once again great vid

[@CreativeRedundancy]

Great As a fan of solar , i enjoyed this. I've used many things for solar ignition and even done it in sun showers/flurries before.

[@pnyarrow]

Hi Cpl Kelly this is probably your best yet - clear, interesting and informative. Thank you so much for sharing. ATB. Nigel

[@kevinedward1234]

Corporal, this video is outstanding!!!!!!

[@doug9418]

All thoughts are truth, ty and God Bless 🇺🇸

[@maricaplasmans6061]

Carrieing perscription glasses, comes in handy sometimes. Gonna practice on char cloth, never made that. Have a container in mind. That tin can is awsome. Thinking aiming is the key.

[@bonniephillips1823]

That's MacGyver AF! Useful information

[@joeavina3117]

dang corporal, your videos are extremely well put together. I've always enjoyed watching them

[@robertvenable368]

Thanks for all the great video's. And for sharing your knowledge.

[@pobo6113]

Fascinating. You always have great information thank you for posting.👍🏻

[@KaylynnStrain]

nice tricks with the flashlight reflector and can

[@erictortosa4002]

Great video, Cpl. Kelly!!!

[@calanon534]

Way ahead of you. I've already dropped your channel name to everyone I know. I'm currently binge watching everything you've got.

[@thankmelater1254]

Lifesaving potential. Thanks!

[@letsjava]

great round up, thanks!

[@gregoutdoors7]

Cool, light bulb is a new one on me. Got to think outside of the box 👍🏻 Thanks

[@benmeinhold5308]

Nice. I liked the light bulb version. The pot lid is interesting, but knowing my klutzy ass I'd spill it all over what I'm trying to light. As always, great vid.

[@meme3954]

The method u are using to make char cloth is the same method to make charcoal. You can capture the gas being expelled by put a tube from container under water and capturing it as the gas rises. This could be used as biofuel. Knowing how to make your own biofuel can come in handy in a crap hits the fan situation. And can be made by almost anything in the environment.

[@Toymit]

Have you tried igniting a fire with ice?....I saw it on one of those survival programs.

[@SkengManNZ]

awesome, your videos are a valuable resource. thanks

[@i_am_a_freespirit]

Thank you souch for this video!

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

Awesome as always!

[@nickmiller3796]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@WoodKnock01]

Awesome vid I will have to put a lens in my fire kit for a third back up!!!

[@lisanorwood946]

excellent.. never seen the flashlight one.. that is so cool.. on the tin foil.. do you also make a tiny hole for gases to escape or does it escape naturally thru the folds? thx!

[@phonecards1]

Outstanding video. Thanks.

[@lurchfowler2]

Awesome thanks for the info it helps to know how many ways to start fire

[@pappy451]

[@jerryguerra348]

Kool young trooper it the end. Good video.

[@westvirginiasurvival]

Great video!

[@recall5811]

Thank you Sir, Stay Safe Bro

[@Radioposting]

The best "tinder" I've found to ignite a flame from a lens, is Bible paper. Don't worry - God will forgive you.

[@umairkhattak6927]

moras are the best. just bought a mora robust.

[@recall5811]

That's Great. Thanks for watching

[@yurigagarin4974]

that 2nd to last one the pan lid was a good un😁

[@mudinmyeye2881]

Amazing

[@Dagreenberg68]

Always a thumbs up Could use a refresher on Krav maga

[@a.s.7386]

Like your light bulb full of water, some, that's some, not all, bottled drinking water can do the trick.

[@JH-lp6fp]

Good stuff. How does char cloth compare to a cotton ball coated in Vaseline when used with a metal match or regular match?

[@rileypicha7248]

Can you do a oak forest survival vid?

[@virginiacopeland108]

thumbs up! Clark and Virginia

[@walterpalmer2749]

Outstanding !!

[@albertanderson349]

Cool!

[@WIZARDWERX]

thx

[@albertdupontel2361]

my fav is start fire whit ice

[@recall5811]

Probably not going to happen in Arizona. Thanks for watching

[@beauxtx1959]

BOO-YAH!!!

[@jsoutdoorz7390]

Toothpaste works really well on the bottom of soda can

[@bredmond812]

Great video. You say to not open the char cloth container, so that oxygen does not get in there. But what do you do about the hole?

[@toweypat]

Brandon Redmond the gas inside heats up, expands, and forces its way out through that hole. So oxygen can't get in.

[@joeysane416]

I saw Dave Canterbury start a fire with a plastic bag of urine

[@michaeladams9807]

👍👍

[@JohnnyT161]

Have you ever made fire from Ice?

[@Tengan65]
