Putting 90% of people to shame . Be proud that you are an asset to your family and society.

I’ve forwarded this video to my girlfriend so that she can see how hard it can be. Thanks for posting.

[@ntboon]

Love this video! So helpful! Would love to see Clay show you more survival skills. It's nice to see someone learning to do it the first time rather than an expert just showing you. Thank you for doing this!

[@Backyard.Archery]

agree

[@briargoatkilla]

The struggle is real! Way to stay with it! Great job.

[@timothylongmore7325]

If I did this with my wife it wouldn't have turned out as well, lol.

[@gregbagwell5543]

I’m 63 years old, and though I’ve seen Clay demonstrate this before, it was better to see your struggles and for you to ask the questions that many of us would be asking were we in your place. Though frustrating as it was, your learning curve fueled a more detailed and memorable video! You did a great job of gleaning all that knowledge from your husband! I know that was your plan from the very beginning. 😊 I also enjoyed your bleeps! 😊

[@kenberry1850]

This was about as real,as it gets. Good job and keep working it.

[@jawohlsh]

This is GOLD!!! Clay always makes everything look so easy, I have struggled for years trying to make bows, but I had learned so much about wood. And this put everything into perspective. I won't say this is the pinnacle of mansplaining, hahaha! But I probably don't know any other teacher better than him in the world! So we let it go. A++

[@exexangler]

[@Backyard.Archery]

[@Dirk_Berserk]

clay is the best. great instructor. gotta love'm

[@dennismiller7152]

I wish I had clays Patience. Great teacher. Love your videos. Keep up the good work liz.

[@gregoryTredwell]

Well done mum. These steps are practiced, when you need the fire in the worst conditions or time the practice will lead to success.

[@ColdHarborOP]

Clay's most recent video on proper firesteel usage is what brought me here, but your content is what made the visit to your channel worthwhile. Please keep up both the homesteading and the outdoor content. Liked and subscribed.

[@A_B_M_K_7]

You have given me the power of fire.

[@guadalupeskitchen3734]

It really does look easy on edited videos.

[@kentonward97]

Very cool to see Liz doing this. Good for her!

[@soleillebolduc2448]

Clay seems like a great teacher. I am surprised he is just now teaching you how to make a fire with no lighter though being an alone winner! lol Ive noticed that with myself too, growing up with all brothers and then my s/o always starting all the fires you just never have the chance to mess with a fire yourself and figure out how to do it. Times ive gone camping with just the girls have been fun to get the chance to do our own fires!

[@soleillebolduc2448]

Also, GREAT JOB! You stuck with it and made it funny! I was cracking up when you broke the tip of the knife and clay starts talking to cedar "oh cedar she just messed it up" LOL

[@Luftvargen]

Awesome video! Love to see how hard it can really be while you’re learning!

[@ANXIETOR]

Not near enough cussin’. Awesome video. I’d love to see Clay teach you how to reshape that broken blade, in his shop of course.

[@stefanocappella9612]

Great video 🇨🇦

[@ZoeDEvans]

I loved watching you learn the basics in this video! Full of great tips for gathering the right tinder too. I have been really struggling and getting frustrated at myself so it was nice to see the reality of how long it took :)

[@oberKGBler]

Hi Liz! I loved your trip video. You showed it in a very honest way and powered through like a warrior! When you struggled getting the fire going I was thinking about Clays wet fire videos. This video is the perfect follow up. :) Im looking forward to your next trip!

[@crystaldunnfit]

Haha Liz you made me laugh so hard. I go through all this shit with Dan. And he does exactly what Clay is doing. Explaining and making you do it and everytime I saw you frustrated I laughed so hard cause this is ME! And he won’t do it for me, he makes me figure it out. And then you broke the leather man, I died!! Haha I’ve done that too! You guys are just like us but cooler. I love it so much ❤

[@paulharding1621]

Just subscribed, looking forward to what China your journey. I’m a fan of Clay, particularly his flint lock and bow hunts.

[@KevinRedford-g8r]

Thanks for sharing, really informative

[@wesstuff2751]

Every human should go into the woods and spend a few days alone, call it what you want, I did when I was a child growing up in Medicine Bow Wyo, it changed my life for sure it was a responsibility survive or give up and die and yes I passed my experience and expectations on to my children

[@dianetbailey9185]

Good job Liz! That is hard to do. ❤

[@ervinslens]

Helpful and simply enjoyable content 👏👏

[@WOLFFANG59]

Good Share.

[@lobopropredatorcontrol]

Way to stay with it, you got this❤

[@wesstuff2751]

Also great tips forgot to mention in my other comment

[@musthaveblues]

Great video. Every fire in outdoors situation can be different. Some easy and many difficult. This was a great demonstration of that. Good job and thx for sharing.

[@Lochavijay]

Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤

[@Longtrailside]

Theirs softer ferro rods that are easier to use, but wear faster. The cheaper rods are hard to use. They also have dedicated fire starter tools that make it easier to use ferro rods.

[@timothylongmore7325]

I'm great at starting fires. Problem is I need matches or a lighter, lol. I've watched many videos , the best by that bearded guy helping you out. This year I WILL master friction fires and fero rods. Got some. Don't know how to use them.

[@westernsoutherner1]

Hell yea Liz!

[@mattwhite9046]

It's always good to learn & practice fire-making skills. But, yea, it's hard. One of the best materials is dryer lint -- catches a spark real easy. I carry some with me in a film canister in my kit. I heard that somebody somewhere found the next best thing out in the bush -- belly button lint. Especially if there's a few people & you're not sweaty, it can really work well.

[@Longtrailside]

Great for starting fires, but dont use if your going to cook over that same fire. Start another clean fire off of it.

[@Dirk_Berserk]

good job

[@JuliaJulia007]

❤ this!

[@MsOooooo28]

Do your boys know how to start fire?
