Big D, after watching only 2 of your videos, I have decided to subscribe. At age 83, I am probably your oldest subscriber; but we share a mutual interest in primitive skills. Doing basically what you have done in this video, I have used flint & steel (instead of a ferro rod) with char cloth in making fire in 18th century living history presentations & also a ferro rod in teaching survival skills. My interest in primitive & classic camping, along with the appropriate skills, began in the late 1940s & early 1950s when I was a pre-teen. I was born in 1941, & my camping gear was primarily "Use what is available (including household items)" & military surplus. Using a borrowed Army surplus machete & my scout-type utility pocket knife, I made my first primitive bow 70+ years ago. Instead of using sandpaper, which I could not afford, I finished it with a resource which my great grandmother (born shortly after the Civil War) suggested: a piece of BROKEN GLASS! It was smoother than IF I had used fine sandpaper! Although I grew up in the city, I ventured into the woods at every available opportunity. Thankfully, there was a huge wooded area behind our house which was owned by a mining company. There were abandoned iron ore mines, pits, caves, hills, & valleys which I explored almost daily after school. There was an area, which we called "Death Valley," that had caves, mines, a wonderful woodlands, a small stream, & LOTS of POISONOUS SNAKES! Some of us decided to camp across the hill inside the entrance of an abandoned mine UNTIL we spotted a RATTLESNAKE bigger than our arms! Consequently, we camped outside the mine. During the night, while cutting firewood to keep our fire burning, I accidentally cut a gash in my canteen which I patched with a bicycle tire repair patch & continued using it for many years thereafter! I apologize for such a lengthy comment, but so far your videos have spoken to me & have bridged the generation gap. I share a kindred spirit with fellow outdoorsmen, regardless of age; & I look forward to enjoying more of your videos. By the way, I loved your woodland setting! Concrete & asphalt can never compare with God's beautiful Creation! To God be the glory! Keep up the good work, and may God bless you & yours! The Okld Preacher
