Succeed With Water soaked Friction Fire Set

[@fizzlebug]

Lonnie and Connie, I think I speak for every single one of your subscribers when I say "Thank you" for the time and effort you put into making your videos. Among all the bushcrafters on youtube, the one thing that always keeps me coming back to yours is the calm, no-nonsense style that you offer. No loud-mouthed show-offs with more gear than brains, no overly fancy video effects to mask the lack of experience or knowledge, just patient and informative videos with thorough explanations, from start to finish. Take care, and keep 'em coming! Every time a new video from Far North Bushcraft and Survival is posted, I drop everything else and immediately get to watching it :)

[@kfgrip]

Thanks Lonnie & Connie.

[@fumasterchu12]

That took a little bit, but certainly faster than I thought it would take. Those drying cycles sure make a big difference, and your patience too! Thanks for another excellent teaching/entertainment session.

[@m0314700308891515]

Thanks again from Anchorage! I've been teaching my city conditioned native friend bushcraft and your videos have been a valuable resource.

[@chapsie547]

You made me a real bushcrafter. Using your techniques, you got me impressing my friends during woodland outings and whatnot. I'm glad you put out relevant content all the time. Thank you. :)

[@garyminick1050]

Yes sir thank you.

[@tedcarney2603]

I learned so much from your video's. thank you Sir!

[@garyminick1050]

Lonnie the numbers of people you have taught are many and you've done this with the kindness of a gentle voice which is non intimidating which makes your outreach much greater than others. May God bless you and your wife.

[@pastorpfp1]

Lonnie, if I ever got in a survival situation I sure would want you in my camp! God bless you and your wife.

[@MrHemlock51]

You sir are a wizard. I wouldn't have believed that was possible if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. You truly can walk the walk as well as talk the talk.

[@tomstrickland2142]

You have the best Bushcraft video channel of all! Thanks for the teaching.

[@raymondoverson8715]

That's some old man strength I would have been huffing and puffing working my bow that long and hard. Good work. Love your videos.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

It very much has to do with proper form and execution. Most folks really do work much harder performing friction fire than is needed if you understand the best way to go about it.

[@raymondoverson8715]

Far North Bushcraft And Survival I better stop watching and get practicing. I've had good success with a bow drill but always felt like I was working very hard there at the end. Any tips would be very much appreciated. We have a lot of aspen which is what I usually use. Thanks for your help.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

If you have not seen my videos on bow drill friction fire, it may be of interest. Helping You To Succeed At Friction Fire Bow Drill - Part 1 & 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZLcc6uolr6Ln80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqHTfKeYo7aChNE Aspen is one of the more difficult woods in my experience. Willow or poplar are my favorite choices for friction fire woods.

[@ronaldstarkey4336]

When your bow and board are wet... I get the drying cycle... what about wet tender...?or... where do I get dry tender...? lol

[@kylefreemason]

Lonnie, you are my absolute favorite KZbin channel. You always bring something new and fresh to the channel. Your humble nature makes you very likeable. God Bless you and Connie.

[@kennyd7195]

I can't believe that 6 people disliked this vid, they should feel ashamed. Thank you and your wife VERY much for the all of your wealth of information that you share so freely. I truly appreciate the inspiration and knowledge you provide. Take care now!

[@67wing]

Thanks Lonnie and Connie! Once again proving that you're the real deal!

[@Friedrich-wu4mk]

Very educational video. Greetings from Germany. Friedrich

[@MarkAJ311]

Learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks Lonnie!

[@MarkAJ311]

and Connie!

[@rish1459]

Lonnie, I have been watching you for some time. I adore both you and Connie's passion to this craft! Bless you both for following your hearts. I wish I could spend a week or two with you just learning & enjoying this earth.

[@jilllong1433]

Lonnie and Connie, I want you to know I appreciate all the effort you go through to share these fascinating things with us. You two take care!

[@edithmary394]

Hi Lonnie and Connie, Thank you for your calm, relaxed and gentle manner. Your videos are calming for me and I learn a lot, not just about bushcraft but about approaching life in a simple, dignified and knowledgeable manner. Thank you.

[@johndifrancisco3642]

Wow. When you said you no longer had time too and hesitated, I was like, oh no, no more videos! I felt my stomach sink :) I think I speak for almost everyone here in saying we understand and love you two and we do not expect you to answer all our comments. I am happy for you that you have so many subscribers. Thank you for taking the time making all these videos and also for getting back to me on my beard :) It's at an awkward stage and my Mom hates it but whatta ya gonna do.... bye now, John.

[@nrainfidelforlife]

Lonnie's fires light themselves! I remember when he was only getting 25 views or so. Now he can't keep up with the comments. Best outdoor channel on KZbin.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Wow, that was a long time ago. Glad to see you are still checking in.

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

I love the satisfaction that shows on peoples faces when the birds nest lights up - even when people have done it many times before - ATB

[@kroegi1]

Wow awesome skills! Greetings from germany.

[@KE4YAL]

Thank both you an Your wife for all the great videos an all the work you both put into them

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

The drying cycle is an interesting concept. I can see how it would conserve physical strength over just continuous drilling. There is a channel "The More You Know The Less You Need" run by a Canadian who has truly mastered friction fire in all conditions. He hasn't put a video out lately but he is worth checking out...Thanks Lonnie

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Yes I am very aware of his channel and i am quite disappointed that he did not keep up with the channel since he had so much to offer. I have been a long time sub of his channel.

[@bushcraftbeats4556]

I was speaking with him, he was waiting on, and then gearing up to use a new camera, that is when he kinda vanished. I hope he'll be back at it. So inspirational, and a nice guy too!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Mors is the "Great Canadian Bushcrafter"... no.. the guy I am referring to is a young French-Canadian man from Quebec by the name of Cedric... I have not seen anyone as accomplished at friction fire as Cedric... If you are not used to the French-Canadian accent it may take you a bit of time to get used to it but when you do...be prepared to be amazed

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Try the channel name "The More You Know The Less You Need"

[@SouthernPatriot1]

And Mors says “the more you know, the less you carry” 😉

[@nativeamericanwander]

You All have such a wonderful excellent channel.This is such excellent information.Thank You All Very Much. I hope sweet Buck is doing great.Best Wishes

[@stillnocouch]

I love your channel. Thanks go out to your and your lovely wife. -- Alan

[@Barbarossa4U]

Excellent as usual Lonnie!

[@salotimo]

At next camping in Saimaa Katosselkä (Finland) must do some same things and practise those skills with my son.Thanks for this man.

[@whiteboar3232]

Well, bowdrilling seems already hard enough, but bowdrilling with a soaking wet set is really beyond! Very well done :)

[@DB-nu1nn]

great job on getting the ember! I wouldn't have thought it possible! Your "cameraman" did a great job, too!

[@lesliesadler8524]

Thanks for all of the good lessons I get here.

Every time I see your videos I get longing for the Canadian forests ... I hope that I can be there once in my life... many greetings from germany and all the best for you and yours.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

I hope you achieve your dream. However I am not in Canada. I am in Alaska. Same type of deal though as much of Canada.

[@walkerm777]

Thanks you two. great couple. I don't always have time to watch these. But when I do there always excellent. Take care.

[@joshuapoe1502]

You are the man it is so hard to start a friction fire in dry conditions and you just did it soaking wet wow

[@quintond.7888]

Just wanted to say thanks to you Folks. You've taught me quite a bit, and I appreciate what you do for us as your subscribers!

[@stevewinsor5215]

WELL Done

[@cherokee8647]

Thank you Lonnie and Connie. I enjoy your knowledge.

[@micheloff-grid4248]

Thank you Lonnie that very good point frictions cycle

[@shahriariran44]

At first I didn't like your videos ,don't know why but lately you're growing on me and I'm beginning to understand and like you.

[@OldBiologist]

Even you struggle sometimes. That is outstanding! Still working on getting and ember EVERY time. It seems to be a process. Thanks!

[@peterford5984]

A massive 'thank you' to you and Connie, I really love your videos, very informative and your teaching is very 'down to earth' as we say here in the UK - easy to understand an approachable.

[@DavidLorellHoskins]

☀️Thanks Lonnie (&Connie)🌲

[@Biglandtrapper]

Very impressive Lonnie, you my friend is a friction fire wizard :)

[@patrickmcadams31]

Nice work Lonnie!

[@drlangattx3dotnet]

ThanksLonnie

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Good information there lonnie good video lonnie and Connie

[@tammielewis2438]

Thanks for the great video. I always learn something good from them.

[@pankloar]

I never saw someone make fire with a submerged bowdrill set but you did it!!

[@tomknight1902]

Lonnie, your videos are always very educational in a fun way! You and Connie both do a fabulous job! I would love to see a daily video from you guys, but I know it takes a lot of time! You and Connie should wear a Go Pro cam all day and give us small tidbits here and there. Thanks for sharing your life & keep up the good work!

[@StuartAustiniFix-YourPCdotcom]

Best bushcrafter by far, thank you both.

[@aghostcat2]

Lonnie and Connie, just a quick thank you for all the hard work you put into bringing these videos to us. I am an old he-cat from high in the Rockies who has been brush busting for over fifty years now, so I know the real stuff when I see it, and I see it in all of your videos. The information you give is solid which is why yours is one of my few goto channels. From one old brush buster to another, thanks and God bless. Ghostcat

[@XaraStarsixseven]

so cool and intriguing. sumhow reminds me of Gandoff lol You look like a great wizard/magician Lonnie! thanks for uploading another great video^_^ hi Connie you are an amazing at recording and capturing the wonderfulness in nature

[@simonlindholm5732]

drying cycles was the reason why i got my first ember, at first i didn't know why i succeeded but now i understand

[@Jiggity1982]

another fantastic video. thank you Lonnie and Connie for all the work you do to help educate people interested in wilderness skills. you make it look so easy.

[@tonyfelts1512]

awesome job Lonnie!

[@FranklyMyDearIDontGiveADamn]

Thank you Lonnie & Connie. Informativ as always, i always learn something new and the most intresting is i learn to think in a new way, im gratefull.

[@olskoolloggin9761]

Nice!👍👍

[@pnyarrow]

Thanks once again for showing it how it is. ATB from North England. Nigel

[@mkoutdoors1987]

Another great video

[@wordwon]

Thank you, Your videos are right on topic and truly useful. Plus, you're a very friendly teacher.

[@Sharky762]

Thanks you 2 for all the fantastic tips, tricks and stories throughout the seasons. Take care and thanks once again, kind regards Remco

[@Plain-Ole-Chuck]

persistence .. Never give up ! Great video !

[@k0yzerz]

Keep up the good work Lonnie, your videos are really enjoyable to watch and makes me want to get out and take part in nature.

[@Robert-iv8vc]

Lonnie and Connie , many thanks to both of you!

[@PawGuy]

One of the best instructional survival technique channels I've seen. I've learned quite a bit in the last year or so from Lonnie!

[@sohaila1346]

This is amazing, fire with wet wood rubbing together in less than 10 min.

[@jhfenderr1]

thank you and god bless

[@voodooromeo8749]

great knowledge, thanks for sharing your wisdom.

[@Dutch_Prepper]

Another masterpiece video !

[@mattfrasch787]

I am soaking up your knowledge like a sponge. Thank you for making these videos. I wish you and Connie all the best. God bless both of you.

[@jtreg]

You guys are awesome!

[@ChrisCVW]

That you still have such a luxuriant beard after blowing on so many embers up close like that must be testament to the depth of your experience! Your average novice must have a few mishaps on the path to learning to pull away just before it flames up.

[@Survival_in_the_wild]

I hasten to thank you for the visual experience. Tried in the same way drying, but with friction-sawing chaga raw and everything turned out(!) Soon'll post an big the film on this subject.

[@brothermanbilljeff6623]

Absolutely Incredible, and that ladies and gentlemen Is why I subscribed ( best survivalist around ) 👍 A+

[@fraidofthedark]

Thanks again folks. We continue learning !

[@willduke69]

im from California. i love going the the woods.and love your show because i always learn stuff.thank you

[@richardclark2688]

Lonnie: Very good information I have struggled before in wet conditions to use a bow drill. Have been only using primitive methods under ideal conditions with this new information I can try again in adverse weather and feel I may be better able to get a fire. Thanks for the time you took to make these videos they are very useful.

[@artm6723]

I've always enjoyed your videos. Never too old to learn!

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

I too love your videos Lonnie. Straight forward and scientific in approach which as a former science lecturer I applaud!

[@bushcraftbeats4556]

Well Lonnie, Connie, we appreciate the work you do to bring this vital knowledge to us. This wasn't the most visually compelling vid, but I love that you showed the truth of the adversity created by the wet set, and showed how to get through it - just keep trying. A lot of vids seem like the "instructor" has an eqo and they only show everything going right the first time. Then when chumps (like us) go out, and we consistently fail, we feel all that much hopeless about our skills. Seeing an "instructor" struggling, persevering and overcoming is the real lesson here. Survival isn't a book and a half of skills, it is a book and a half of skills AND a whole lotta perseverance. Thank you for showing the full deal. On an unrelated note, we were shooting a vid the other day, and you guys came up, could we clip a picture of you guys from your videos to put on our vid, giving you guys a shout out? Thanks for your consideration!

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Yes you may use a portion of one of my videos as long as it is not used commercially or to make money from and My channel gets full credit.

[@bushcraftbeats4556]

Shoot Lonnie, I think I forgot to submit this comment, or KZbin ate it, but we're just going to use a static image of you and Conny, and give you guys a shout out because you're such a good channel, and great people, and Conny is such a good camera operator. Of course we will link to your channel, but I'm sure that anyone watching us would already be aware of you guys! Thanks again!

[@Scrap5000]

You're awesome

[@bretdavisdmd]

Calm and eloquent brilliance. Awesome as usual.

[@keyvanamoli2849]

the music in the end was also great! thank you

[@brianspencer4220]

Well done Lonnie

[@HBC258]

Great demonstration. I appreciate your showing how to make fire when wet.

[@duckaxe]

All hail Lonnie Vulcan Neptune. God of underwater fire. :-)

[@elaineoutdoors9581]

another great tip! thank you!

[@Dan-yw9sg]

Thank you Lonnie and Connie! That was amazing lesson learned today! I never have tried to start a fire with water soaked resources, so that is very valuable information! I will be practicing that skill this weekend. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@banpho7527]

Lonnie, you are so creative, I like to watch your video a lot. Infact, sometimes I watch your video over and over again just to get every detail, that you had said. I guess, after watching your demonstrated for making 🔥 fire, I guess I could use it for a backup., or what ever that purpose. Although, I had learned a lot from you, about how to survive in the wild. Of how to find the best material for making fire, and some other use. If you could make fire in any condition, with the knowledge that you had, it could save your life. You also, show us how to build a suitable shelter to keeps warm too. Thanks to you, until then. Bye.

[@Britches1936]

Another awesome video Lonnie, Thank you, you are a great teacher.

[@richholtzman9754]

Nice job Lonnie. Shows what you can do with a little know how.

[@Bandit-Darville]

Learned again, thanks.

[@CodockDraconin]

Sir... I hope that one day I can develop even half of the skills and knowledge you have. Living here in the desert I am unlikely to learn all of them but one has to have a goal.

[@TheRealJerseyJoe]

Lonnie is the real deal. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it's appreciated !

[@Ed.T]

I watched a guy take off his shoe before using his set "in case his shoe was moist." I though he was silly... after watching your video I'm pretty sure he was... Lonnie, you need to eat more pie! Please keep teaching, thank you very much.

[@yobentley7274]

Lonnie. I believe you are truly an exceptional man. Thank you so much for sharing so much with all of us. Thank you my friend.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

I`m impressed Lonnie. I will try this! -Odd

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Great tip Lonnie! I will be sharing this video on Georgia Bushcraft FaceBook page. Keep up the great work!

[@ncfatman6811]

Another great and informative video Lonnie. Thank you very much
