Making Fire Roll Boards Out Of A Pine Log

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

It is not hard to whittle out a set of Rudiger Roll aka Fire Roll boards... the top and bottom boards. I had planned on searching the woods and burn pile for a good, straight grained, and clear 8" chunk of log to make them out of. LOL! I didn't have to go far. The 12' Pine log right there at the fire table had a good enough piece in it to use. Come see how well this little 7" set of boards turned out and how well they worked right on the ground to produce 2 easy friction fires. Please follow the LINKs below and SUBSCRIBE. Thank You!

I had no idea a fire could be made like that! It is just fascinating. Thank you so much for your great video’s.

Barry Fulcher : I have been around for 83 years ,and know how to make fire by a lot of different ways ,but i have never heard of the fire log in all that time .I am going to try it this week for sure ,after i clean out my wood stove. Thanks for sharing !!!

Wow, I have never heard of this technique, so I am excited to have learned a new technique today!! Thanks for your great, hands-on, videos, explanations & methodology!!🔥☄🔥

[@scully7733]

Ok I have mastered several ways to lite fires. This was the only way I had not practiced with. I didn't think about splitting a log and making fire boards on the spot but I will be trying today. Thank you once again David.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

You saved the easiest for last.

[@johnnysparkleface3096]

Looks way easier than twirling a stick between your hands. I tried my guts out doing that and the tip never even got warm.

David, did you save these boards you made? i thought about making some to keep in my pack

When that roll of cotton started to smoke and flamed up the tinder in your hands, you could have knocked me over with a feather! I have never heard of a method like this before - Thanks for the education!!

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

TY! See my fire roll playlist.

[@markfair7648]

Dave you are the fire fly. That method is easier than a bow drill and more reliable. Your first fire in the woods is the hardest. You can never know enough ways to make 🔥. Conditions change in the bush all the time.

I appreciate that!

[@blocksmithing]

I've studied primitive fire making methods for DECADES. I've learned from Ray Mears, Les Stroud, Les Hiddens, and COUNTLESS KZbinrs. I've NEVER seen this method before. I'll be experimenting with cattails and milkweed this coming summer. This is AMAZING! Thanks, David! VERY COOL!

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

LOL! You'd better check out my fire roll playlist first... only one of those plants will fire roll.

[@ernststravoblofeld]

This really shows some emergency survival potential. How many of us already have a small cutting board with us in our camping gear? There's good reasons to bring, or make, a couple of flat bits of wood.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

It's a good technique.

[@tylervanorman492]

Going to give this a try with my son.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

[@stephaniesmith7317]

Thank you so much! I had no idea what you were planning to do. I had never heard of this before. What a handy trick to know. I'm going to try this the next time I'm out & ready to make a fire. Great bushcraft knowledge!

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Any wood that splits true, doesn't need a lot of whittling, makes the best boards. Master the technique with cotton and ashes on a comfortable table first. See my fire roll playlist. This technique is much trickier than I make it look.

[@giulianosantana8183]

In my region it is very humid in the jungle but I will try this technique. Congratulations from Amazonia (Brazil).

I just use 2x4 that I've cut down so they are manageable. It works every time. It took me a minute to figure out the right technique for me. I will never forget it.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

A lot of my viewers want to see the more natural boards made. I use lumber all the time though.

[@tonedcos]

Thanks, very interesting alternative to the traditional primative technology.

[@wurthazsmoke8597]

Mother nature always provides. Split branches, flat rocks it can be done in the field as you've demonstrated. Great video as always 👍

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Thanks friend! You've always got a kind word.

[@EvilGremlin100]

I've seen a couple videos of this style of lighting now, and where a lot of them claim to be able to get smoke going in between 60-90 seconds, you got the the first one smoking in only 40 seconds once you got into it, including 2 stops where you inspected it, and you really stopped and studied it for a good few seconds each time. Meaning following your video, I'll take approximately 30 seconds of constant rolling. That's a hell of a lot quicker than many styles I've encountered. Impressive

[@kenkneram4819]

Thanks Lawrence!

[@MLFranklin]

I have seen that sometimes you use ashes and sometimes you use finely ground charcoal. What are the reasons for choosing one over the other?

Ashes are best and charcoal dust is a more difficult alternative.

You have the best fire-starting videos on youtube and I appreciate the different methods you have shown. One addition to your fire-making kit would be a pair of knee pads which really make being on your knees more comfortable and allows you more mobility by taking away the worry of putting your knee on something and causing pain.

I Asked the question if it could be done on a short board/boards on your other channel.. You answered I should check out this channel and see for myself .. Awesome ! All I say is awesome !! Every question I have asked you in the past , you have taken the time to answer me and that is very much appreciated! Your videos are so educational .. Thankyou !! I’m thinking the reason I was failing at my attempts with the shorter boards was I wasn’t fixing the bottom board on the ground etc .. like you did here.. I was always trying holding both boards ( one in each hand ) and rubbing .. regrettably with no success.. Now I’ve seen your proof that it can be done and can’t wait to try it your way ! The proper , successful way !!! 👍 Thankyou for this !!

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

A fallen Beech or pine without the bark makes a good "bottom board" or a boulder or flat rock. Just a split piece of wood for a "top board" sometimes you don't have to split the wood just use the round surface... They're all in that playlist.

[@StarDarkAshes]

It would almost be a good idea to carry some sandpaper in your pack so that if you do end up making boards for a fire roll in the wild or in an emergency if you had some tough enough grit sandpaper, you could fold the sandpaper in half so both sides have the grit and then take your two boards and rub them together with the sandpaper in the middle and then you would get a really nice smooth flat surface on both pieces of wood.

Is it best to ve have a rough surface on the fire boards? Or is better off smooth and tight-fitting. Should the boards be a specific species ? Or any ting will do it.

Smooth is more difficult and too rough is also. It's the wood ashes that allow both types of boards and all boards to grip the fire roll. See my fire roll playlist.

David, you could have used that hand saw and cut it perfectly flat down the center vertically, and then cut it off, forming two perfect fire boards, without having to whittle.

Lol. Ripping is 10 times harder than cutting cross grain. Using straighter grained woods that split truer is the answer.

[@Franetzky]

I don't see why it wouldn't, but pre making a bunch for use down the road. Understand as long as they stay dry but making a dozen or two and put into a container for future use do you think there would be a time limit to use?
