Single Source Friction Fire

[@Greenstriker9235]

young 22 year old from South Africa, I try to learn from the old, maybe I can one day truly detach from electronics and live easier knowing what people like you teach!

[@sbrunscheon]

I live in Iowa. It's fascinating watching your videos and seeing techniques that are similar to what I use in the woods but utilizing vastly different materials.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Awesome. Thanks for watching. Appreciate it.

[@LeMayJoseph]

It's really advantageous watching your videos to learn about how to use desert resources having moved out west to NM!

[@stephaniemcbroom9615]

I'm just fascinated by you and your techniques.......this is good stuff....Thank you sooo much ...

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

My absolute pleasure. Appreciate you watching and taking time out of your day to do so.

[@stephaniemcbroom9615]

@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks no problem..it's very enjoyable watching.😊👍

[@scottlanghorst1483]

And that is how knowledge is passed on to the Uninitiated. I appreciate your time making these videos. When it's minus 30° Celsius here, this might save my life. 🤙

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Appreciate you watching. Thanks so very much.

Brings back memories from my days on the Trail at Anasazi. Good Stuff!

[@codytisdale9064]

Man, I absolutely love these videos. I love the outdoors and take my family camping alot but always wanted to learn all of this type of stuff. Thank God KZbin algorithm blessed me by stumbling across one of your KZbin short clips🤙

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Awesome. Appreciate you watching and following my journey.

[@jonsidds6963]

I live on the Chesapeake Bay, been in the woods since before I can remember. My Pop was big on teaching us kids survival love my maple for this. I think knowing trees is pretty darn helpful also in this tye of situation. Great video brother, stumbled across your channel by chance but definitely worth a subscribe. This way of life is dying and while I live pretty comfortable I make it a point to take the kids out and teach them this stuff. Doing these videos is a pain so thanks brother, see you out there.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Thanks Jon. I appreciate that greatly. I like your approach and outlook. Life is long and I’m here to just share what I know. Thanks again. Much respect.

[@eliot1970]

Great stuff mate, very applicable to South Australia where I live. I also enjoy your other channel "the gray bearded green beret" keep up the excellent content! Cheers

[@pete3687]

Loved your book Earthroamer. I'm from Littleton, I'd like to do an out and back earthroam in Rampart. Just working on my KSAs. Thanks for everything sir.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Awesome. Colorado in the house. Haha. Rampart is a great place to do one. Lots of springs, caves, and opportunities…I let you discover them on your own. Stay curious.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Will do. Appreciate you watching and following along. Now go outside and live the good adventure.

[@sonoman00ify]

So nice in desert or Southwest. Here in Maryland it is pretty tough making friction fire from wood. I have done it in my kitchen. My wife didn't appreciate it much. She asked me why I was doing it inside. I asked her if she ever tried making friction fire in the humid Summer in Maryland. She said no of coarse cause she would use a lighter. Lol

[@BLACKBIRDsqueaks]

🤣 I always have to mentally translate what he’s doing in such a calm, cool manner-> me doing it while sobbing “I’m gonna diiiiiiiie out heeeeeeere” 😭😭😭

Dope video brother 💯

[@RobPainless]

Out-friggin-standing, brother. I'm looking forward to seeing if yucca works as well. That is what we have around here. Well, that and Chinese Elm....yuck. Seriously, this may be the best instructional video on this I've ever seen. Well done.

[@warchildodin]

I lived in the woods for two years best years of my life, hard years but best years.

[@warchildodin]

The thing I missed the most was showers instead of cloth bathes

[@17Liberty76]

Love your content. Very succinct and easy to follow. Do you ever do anything with brain tanning hides?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

I do. I can work some videos. No problem.

[@17Liberty76]

Excellent. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. I've been trying to learn how to be more self sufficient. I'm actually out hunting right now with my daughter. Took a minute to check messages on a break. Thanks again

[@MarcusGW1028]

Yo your probably the coolest dude I ever seen (nohomo) lol keeps making video's your a badass

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Haha. I gotcha. Appreciate you watching. Thanks again.

[@thomasbarron4423]

I've watched quite a few of your videos and where I live we have lots of ticks, how do you keep them off of you?

[@paulinepatel9722]

Hey Donny do u have any books that would be good for learning ab plants and trees that u can work with or eat from

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Check out my Paleo Tracks Survival website under my bookshelf. I recommend all the ones on my bookshelf. Great reads.

[@drivenbyf8]

Do you think you could show us how to clean, process, and skin an animal?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

I can, but some things will have to be out of sight. Big restrictions these days.

[@collecter3456]

@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks I’ve seen some rabbit skinning videos that were not censored. I believe as long as you don’t make the video for kids you should be fine. It’s definitely a gray area though.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

@@collecter3456 cool. I’ll dive into the specifics and get one done.

Why sandles I wonder

Imagine the first human to do this. He must have been a God to his people

[@DaddyResonance]

This dude broadcasts his shows through a crystal too guys no phones involved 😅

[@LateNightRituals]

Dont mean to be nosey. But I am highly amazed and interested by your life style, zen and skills. Would this lifestyle be considered more of a weekend get away aside having a "normal life, job,..." Or this is more of a few months of year at a time periods. (I hope im not being rude, love the vids n purity)

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Appreciate your kindness and candor. Well, it’s what I do, all the time and in every form possible. If you live what you do on your weekends…then you should just do that.

[@debosquatch]

Where can I find some of your tools for sale....?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

This Wednesday I’ll be opening my store at my Paleo Tracks Survival Site.

[@bibliothekdeshorrors4084]

So I can do this basically every tree branch?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

No, but you can experiment with what ones work the best.
