Rudiger Roll - No Ash - No Tools - All Natural - Fire Roll Friction Fire - On the spot - Primitive

[@boggycreekbeast]

History of the Fire Roll and Evolution Video kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6fOpYR7e6Z2otE For those who think that I did not come up with all these variations using this method with substances such as Rust, Jute, Chaga etc; YOU are more than welcome to search the internet over and compare dates for yourself. Unlike some on KZbin, MY work using this method is original and speaks for itself. To see a Round Tree Branch with the bark still on it used for the hand hold with this method click here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWSmkpJsn9uCmrM I recommend starting with cotton, ashes and milled lumber til you get used to this method. Here's a tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXjSYXiMerGFnNk Performing the Rudiger Roll, or Fire Roll, without ashes or tools is something that I've been doing for years and is one of my earlier innovations. When I first discovered this method only Cotton, ashes and milled lumber were being used. After research and experimentation I came up with numerous combinations using this method. I also took it upon myself to prove the efficiency of this method as an actual primitive fire making technique( my earliest video performing this method WITHOUT ASH or TOOLS is from Spring 2015 and can be seen here kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGaXkqdua8torcU ). It was very humid during the filming of the video above as evidenced by the sweat collecting on my rolling surfaces. I am using Dogbane in this video as the plant fiber. Nettle seems to actually work better at times when performing this method without ashes. Not sure why but I believe Nettle may have additional flammable properties that I'm not aware of. Either that or it just maintains its shape better than Dogbane when rolling. Either way I have used both without ashes before. In my opinion, using ash is a true primitive technique as well. If I actually had to rely on this method then I would definitely be using ashes. How To Identify Dogbane During Winter kzbin.info/www/bejne/noe4nKpqa519bZI

Good work mate. I have made fire in every way known to man...or at least I thought I had until I watched a fire roll without ash. i have made plenty with but somehow you succeeded in harsh conditions. Well done brother!

I've been watching dozens of fire making videos and this is the first one where no knife, or man made materials were used. This is exactly what I have been looking for. thank you for sharing.

[@boggycreekbeast]

I highly recommend starting with cotton, wood ashes and sawn planks for rolling surfaces. That is the easiest way to learn this method. True, I have done this numerous times without ashes, using wild plant fiber and on natural surfaces BUT I have been doing this for years. Here's an instructional that I made for a friend kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXjSYXiMerGFnNk

[@IngeniousOutdoors]

ive tried repeatedly to show this technique to countless friends, family, and fellow survivalists and for some reason, even with proof as this being one of the most (if not THE most) effective fire starting method ive ever seen, people turn their nose up at it or dig in their heels and start talking about bow drills and hand drills and stuff. i never thought i would see Cognitive Dissonance at such a level, about a fire making technique. it blows my mind.

[@boggycreekbeast]

I know right. People will walk right into the truth, fall down, get up, dust themselves off and continue on with what they're doing as if not noticing at all. I think its hilarious! LOL!

[@boggycreekbeast]

It reminds me of how Bruce Lee was thought of when he introduced his theories on hand to hand combat. People were so caught up in all these silly traditional styles that they thought he was a nut. Now hes considered by many as the father of mixed martial arts.

Here's a list of some of the plants I came up with to use with this method kzbin.info/aero/PLPUSw5w2ZpSax0D2cEDbmq8le400JmF6H

[@longbowshooter5291]

As others have stated, thank you for sharing this. While I have seen other rudiger roll videos, they all used ash and a planking of some kind, but this one helps in those truly unprepared situations that cause nightmares - absolutely no tools at all. Now I know if I can find two flat rocks, I can make a fire without any tools at all. That, in itself, might be a lifesaver.

[@boggycreekbeast]

While I appreciate your comment, please allow me to be absolutely clear here. Performing this method without ashes can be difficult. I have been practicing this method for years. I have always told others to get comfortable with this method at home first with cotton, ashes and planks. Do that before moving on to natural material in small steps. Try cotton at home first then maybe try some wild plant at home next. Take small steps. Take care.

[@longbowshooter5291]

@@boggycreekbeast Thanks for your reply. Oh yes, absolutely understand that! Been around way, way (don't ask!) too many years to think I can watch a video and conquer the wild. Actually I just recently found out about the rudiger roll method of fire starting, had never seen it before, so I started watching more of them, and yours showed me what COULD be done in an emergency. Yeah, like anything, I know that would take some time to master, but I wouldn't have known this method was even possible had I not seen your video. Something else to tuck into that empty corner of my mind. Enjoyed watching it, thank you.

[@boggycreekbeast]

@@longbowshooter5291 Glad you understand as I certainly do not want to mislead anyone. You have a good night.

[@BansheeFifteen]

Very neat. I've been doing the Rudiger roll with cotton balls and wood ash rolled between two pieces of lumber, and have become very proficient at getting an ember and then to fire. Watched a lot of David West's videos and yours. Practice is really one of the keys. I was demonstrating this to a friend and he was amazed how I got to fire so quickly and almost effortlessly. One thing I've noticed is the sensation of a squeak and collapse of the roll. An indication of a successful start of an ember. But I've never tried just going out into a preserve and trying to find suitable materials. I was describing to my friend that I wear cotton T-shirts all the time and wouldn't hesitate sacrificing a square just to get some fibers that I could develop from grinding/tearing the swatch with a rock or something. I'm pretty much a "city boy" and don't have the knowledge like you about plants. But what I've learned here and from David, experimenting and trying goes a long way in a survival situation. It's better than sitting in the forest without a fire. On a humorous note, the g/f likes to call me McGiver. Ha. Thank You.

[@boggycreekbeast]

LOL! The "McGiver " had me rolling! hahaha

Lol, may just go see if I can find some dry nettles, though!

[@boggycreekbeast]

I recommend starting at home with cotton, ashes and milled lumber for rolling surfaces. I have a large playlist of wild plant fibers, Nettle, Milkweed, Yucca, etc, that can be substituted instead of cotton once you're familiar with the mechanics. Here is a tutorial I made for a friend kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXjSYXiMerGFnNk

[@bellowphone]

Yes, this is exactly what I wanted to see. A cotton ball and ashes will work great, but only if you have them! Matches are great too, if you have them. But here you have shown us that fire can be made with nothing but what you find in the woods. Well done, and thank you.

[@boggycreekbeast]

Please hear me out. I have a lot of practice time in with this method. Going out in the wilderness and making fire with nothing can be extremely difficult. Yes, it can be done like in the video above but do not let that mislead you. I believe in being prepared as opposed to skills demonstrated in my videos. My personal fire kit is TOTAL OVERKILL...as everybody's should be IMHO. Have fun with primitive methods but do not leave that BIC Lighter at home. Take care.

[@bellowphone]

@@boggycreekbeast Yes, I realize it is not as easy as you make it look. I already know a few primitive fire making skills, such as flint-and-steel, bow drill, and fire-piston. All of those took me a certain amount of practice before I could do them well. And now, just a few days ago I learned about the fire roll, which I had never heard of before. So I tried it with the cotton ball and ashes method, and after a few tries I finally got it to work. But I am always looking to find ways of making fire that don't require having some materials beforehand, such as a cotton ball for instance, or some charcloth or charred punkwood, for the flint and steel. So when I found your video and saw what is possible with purely found materials from the woods, I was very interested. I know it will take me a lot of practice and experimenting before I can actually do it, but now I at least see what is possible. Incidentally, I have experimented with twisting native fibers for making bow drill strings. My most successful cord was made with fiber stripped from native New Jersey yucca leaves. Keep up the good work, and take care.

@@boggycreekbeast I just watched your Caveman Concept video, and also the Dogbane fiber extraction video. Good stuff. I don't recall seeing dogbane around my neck of the woods, but I plan to look for it, and also to check out other fibrous plants that might work for fire starting and also for making cordage. We do have plenty of milkweed around here, and I see that you use that too. Thank you for your kind words about my videos; I'm glad you like them.

[@boggycreekbeast]

I'm sure there are plenty of suitable materials, I just have to keep at it and build the skill. I've gotten close with nettles and had the fibers smoking when I stopped rolling, but can never get them to sustain.

[@AnthonyThomasLim]

Hey Boggy Creek Beast, I really enjoy your videos. I was thinking of doing a beginner friendly video of the easiest friction fire using no tools with finding 2 trees (cedar bark and Pine bark) to create a rudiger roll setup. With a focus of comparing it to the other friction fire methods and the difficulty to get the others right and needing plant knowledge to get the right spindle and hearthboard combinations. Basically, friction fire for dummies video. Cedar and pine can be found all over the USA which helps me because more than half of the plants you use for your fire roll, I don't have in my area. Because cedar and Pine are easy to spot by bark alone as well and being some of the only evergreens in the winter, beginners can identify and use these trees easier than any other tree wood combinations in all 50 states. A lot of thought is going to this video and I especially want to credit you for the initial popularizing of this technique.

[@boggycreekbeast]

That sounds like a good idea for a video. Let me know how it goes. Have a good day.

[@boggycreekbeast]

You're welcome. I recommend starting at home with Cotton, ashes and some type of milled lumber for rolling surfaces. Here is an instructional I made for a friend kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXjSYXiMerGFnNk

[@PsyloSatan]

Watching all these fire roll technique videos on the Tube has been a lot of fun and your "no tools" variety is one of the best of it's kind I've seen yet. I saw a video on Adam West's channel that I think would deal with that sweat problem and maybe the ants too. He rolled against an upright tree while standing up and got ignition just as well. Gravity takes care of the sweat drops and at the same time is much easier to identify if you are about to set up your operation on an insect habitat.

[@boggycreekbeast]

The problem with that is you just can't get enough downward pressure when using wild plant fiber without ashes like you see me doing above. Ashes make this method so easy that even a small child can do it. You will need a much more stable surface and one that allows you to exert more pressure when working without ashes. I've already used the side of a tree while standing way back in 2014 when I first discovered this method. It was fun to play with and I still do it sometimes. Actually my friend Jay Reily had a video showing that side of the tree method back then and was the first to come up with that. So he gets the credit. Cotton and ash is easy to get an ember with and can be done on almost any surface. Doing this with ALL natural material without ash is totally different than using cotton and ashes. Have a good day and Happy Halloween :)

[@PsyloSatan]

@@boggycreekbeast Well that's another reason I love watching these type of videos. I've learned the hard way that things don't always work out how you planned on several occasions (plenty of times due to overlooked variables like you mentioned) and it's better to be wrong in practice than when you have to rely on it in an emergency. Thanks for the correction. That being said, I have yet to find a video where a good, no-tools style replacement (preferably several) for wood ash can be found just laying around. I've already got the cotton replaced with this super dry stuff (even easy to ignite when wet) that grows on the evergreens around here. I live in Juneau Alaska and it is dripping wet about 75% of the time here so getting past that moisture hurdle is most important to me, and alternatives for getting an ember so easy a child can do it while still not using tools is exactly what I want to find.

[@boggycreekbeast]

@@PsyloSatan You live in an, how should I say this, Inhospitable place when it comes to fire! LOL! I can imagine the challenges you face. You must be an advanced level fire maker at this point. The great thing and problem with the fire roll lies in its simplicity when using ashes. So many people can't seem to get it to work without ashes. I can get it to work without ashes but I have had a lot of practice. That's why it may seem easy when I do that in my videos. Ashes just supply so much more traction when rolling that it just seems TOO simple. Like I said, a child can do it with ashes and cotton on a variety of surfaces. My daughter was 11 the first time she tried and even she got it, with coaching of course, on her FIRST try. She thought it was neat but didn't attempt again until a year later when she was 12(I have a video on my channel of that). As far as an ash alternative is concerned, well, lets just say that ash is king! I have come up with so many alternatives to ash that I lost count (I even have dozens of videos with new material that I have not released yet). That said, ash still has all of them beat when it comes to traction. It just grips surfaces like no other. I look at this method as a complement to other friction fire methods. Once ash has been established, provided you have plenty of wild plant fiber and rolling surfaces, its just so much easier than those other methods. This would be my go to method IF lighters, firesteels and matches were no longer available in some apocalyptic world. And you better believe I would be using the ASHES! LOL!

[@stephengriffn9277]

Great demo and instructional. A similar technique was described using raw cotton in the Soviet gulags. If you are interested, it was described in Alexander Dolgun's Story. He was a member of the U.S. embassy in Moscow, kidnapped off the street by the kgb and sent to a labor camp. It was also the first time I read of the Russian tap code and the criminal infrastructure in the prisons.

Its been so long but aren't you the same guy from years ago? Your channel name changed?

[@survivorjohnny44]

@@boggycreekbeast I am. KZbin changed my channel name for unknown reason. But some things never change, you impressed me once again with your video

[@boggycreekbeast]

@@survivorjohnny44 Of course I know you!! How are you doing my friend?? You don't post videos anymore. You should. I post videos as often as I can. Not as many as I used to but I think my videos are better today than in the past. You should go check out my vids. Heck, I even include some not relative to fire making. I just felt like sharing. To tell you the truth John, not well here. Its up and down for me. Went through something few people will ever experience 20 years ago. I can't discuss that but in the last 2 years I've had to come to terms with it. Not pleasant. Nightmares, PTSD, Survivors guilt, etc; I haven't resorted to recreational medication like some have but I did drink sometimes to help me sleep. No one will ever really know me, John. That's the sad thing.

[@survivorjohnny44]

@@boggycreekbeast I know enough about you to know you have à good heart. I have only posted 1 or 2 videos since my divorce. God really blessed me through the divorce, I get my kids whenever they aren't in school (almost) so that's about 180 days a year. I just don't really have time to do videos anymore now. Between work and time with my kids there isn't much time left. I'm sure sorry to hear that you are dealing with issues but if it helps, I find a lot of comfort for my problems in God's love. I remember you being a believer don't I?

[@jamesloughran9350]

Very, impresive..fire is a necessity in the wild, it makes sense to try every method, but this roll without tools is exciting..God willing i will give this a try in 2020, about to subscribe 👍👍👍

[@boggycreekbeast]

I recommend starting at home with cotton, ashes and milled lumber for rolling surfaces before moving on to the all natural version as in the video above. Here is a tutorial that I made for a friend Part 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXjSYXiMerGFnNk Part 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/j57FeHWIdsaEfdU

Interesting! Where did the name Rudiger roll come from? At the moment I'm not sure if Dogbane grows here on the east side of Klamath mountains CA. And the flat rocks, what there are, are brittle. What other primitive techniques have you used depending on the area you're in?

[@boggycreekbeast]

I came up with that name. Check my origins video for more information.

Hey Gus!! How are you my friend?? Hope all is well :)

[@fuegoindomito]

I'm fine, Tim. I've been living in France for two years. I got married with a wonderful girl and now we have a baby boy who is almost one year old. Between the work, family and other things i have abandoned my channel but i'll be back... soon i hope. I continue to practice fire-making, but much less. It's always good to see your videos, inspirational as always. Do you know Zerimar Wildnat's channel, he made a video with Rüdiger Roll technique and we talk about you in the comentaries. Well my friend, a big hug for you.

[@boggycreekbeast]

So good to hear from you my friend! Congratulations on the wife and child! May God bless you all! I will check out your friends channel. You take care Gus :)

[@samthai818]

Great video! Dogbane is more common than milkweed, so easy to find along the roadside. The cedar tinder bundle, have you ever tried to fire roll that by itself?

[@boggycreekbeast]

Yes, I have. It's NOT very good for the fire roll. Very difficult to get an ember. I do have a video using it but don't recommend that fiber. Cedar makes a great tinder bundle though.

Thank you. I'll sub your channel, too. I recommend starting with cotton, ashes and some kind of flat surfaces (2X4's, Planks, Brick base) til you get used to this method. The following link is a tutorial that I made for a friend kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXjSYXiMerGFnNk

[@darkfuhart9626]

Thank you so much but I have 1 question does this work with any dry soft trees bark or only the Indian hemp?

[@boggycreekbeast]

I have used this method without ashes with nearly all the plants that can be found on my channel. I've personally come up with over 25 plants that can be used with this method. I've yet to release all my material over this method. Here are some of the plant fibers that I've used kzbin.info/aero/PLPUSw5w2ZpSax0D2cEDbmq8le400JmF6H I recommend that others become proficient with using cotton and ashes on milled lumber before attempting what you see above. The use of ashes is a primitive technique, too. Primitive people were using ash for various purposes for a long time.

[@darkfuhart9626]

Boggy Creek Beast thank you for the reply

[@B-leafer]

Outstanding

[@jesseherbert2585]

You kind sir are a Maestro of elegant fire skills!! Question (if you are still reading comments on this older post): do you think the rock dust played a similar role as ashes play, perhaps helping the heat build up and stay in the roll, perhaps adding to the friction the rolling generates? Thank you again for such an epic demonstration!

[@boggycreekbeast]

Most likely it certainly did. I have done this without ashes numerous times but it can be problematic. I like to think of this method as a complement to all friction fire methods. You have a good night.

[@boggycreekbeast]

[@TonyTooTuff]

Always wondered why this method isn’t used more often on those survival shows. As far as friction fire goes, this one uses less energy to produce an ember

[@boggycreekbeast]

Agreed.

[@MrZluvu4ever]

@Boggy Creek Beast Hey Boggy, your huge fan here with a few questions & a statement : @t much harder is it without ashes ?2.What are the subtle differences in technique if there are any between ash-less & with ash 3.What do you think are the biggest causes of roll failure and disintegration of the roll itself from rolling? I suspect that the fluff & dust of failed ash-less rolls can be reused as a substitute for ash (why waste effort!?) What are your thoughts!? Thanks so much!!!

[@boggycreekbeast]

Can I get back with you in a few days? Am so sorry. Working 2 jobs right now. You would be right to reuse a failed roll. They can help sometimes.

[@MrZluvu4ever]

@@boggycreekbeast Absolutely sir, much appreciation!!!

[@1lifeonearth]

wait, did you put anything inside the roll in exchange for the ash? or is it just 100 percent hemp or whatever with nothing inside?

[@boggycreekbeast]

Just 100% Dogbane. Nothing else. I have other videos demonstrating this method without ashes or some substitute. It can be done

[@1lifeonearth]

@@boggycreekbeast Wow that's amazing!!! Thanks!

[@boggycreekbeast]

@@1lifeonearth With practice, you CAN do the very same. That said, the use of ash is a primitive technique. Primitive people all over the globe have been using ashes for various purposes for millennia. Not for the method above BUT definitely for other things like gardening, pottery, etc; So, ashes are indeed a renewable primitive resource.

would u in theory be able to do this with any wood that is fibrous enough and dry?

[@boggycreekbeast]

Are you referring to the plant fiber being rolled? Here's a list of plant fibers I came up with that can be used kzbin.info/aero/PLPUSw5w2ZpSax0D2cEDbmq8le400JmF6H

[@houndogbbq]

Wow good job

[@boggycreekbeast]

[@chickenfriedbobcat6090]

I believe the addition of ashes increases friction thus increasing heat. It's possible the powdered rock was performing the same function. Just like adding too much ash will cause a failure, too much powdered rock would. Pure speculation but it seems possible.

[@boggycreekbeast]

Ashes do increase friction. As well, they increase traction or grip and they are also an insulator holding in heat. Stone dust doesn't make a good ash substitute. Just like I say in the video during the rolling part, too much rock dust could potentially snuff an ember out. I have several other videos demonstrating this without ashes. I use wooden hand holds in those videos.
