Trying the Fire Roll Method in the Bush

[@2hot2shr]

There you go. That was awesome. That guy David West has done a hundred videos of the fire roll. Always at home.

[@kullcraven]

David west is a master of fire pretty much. I really love how he experiments and shares with us all. Thanks for the watch.

[@TonyTooTuff]

Good job. I have always wanted to see it done in the woodsy environment. Everyone always does it at home in comfort. Outstanding.

[@kullcraven]

Thanks, at home is a great place to learn, tho for me to be useful i had to create this fire method in the forest. :)

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

It seems that this method should supercede the fire bow and the fire drill for simplicity and since there are only two solid moving parts, darn near unbreakable. You demonstrated that all items can be readily available and made in the bush. The cotton can be replaced with natural materials like grass, bark, cattail fluff, nettle bark, etc. (see Boggycreekbeast). Great job Wayne. cheers!

[@kullcraven]

+Marcel Lafond Thank you, this is a pretty cool fire method to know. I would never want to rely on any primitive fire tho, ALTHO , if i am relying on it, atleast i have the knowledge to make it work:) Thankss alot Marcel.

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

Kullcraven Bushcraft I admit if I am cold and pressed for time, i just use a lighter. But you are right, the more we know the less we worry. It's so much fun to have options.

[@facksnack]

+Marcel Lafond Agreed. Boggycreekbeast has taken this way beyond cotton and ashes. He uses other plants like dogbane, nettle, milkweed, velvetleaf...that's naming just a few of the plants he has come up with. I will also add he doesn't receive credit like he should. Thanks for mentioning him. Hes a good friend of mine and I support him and his channel.

[@davearonow65]

Marcel Lanford, Every method has it's place. This method would be a lot more work with only a pocket knife to split and plane wood with. You also have to carry cotton and ashes with you. It is a cool method, but the "best" way to make fire in the field is to be adept at using as many different methods as possible then choosing the right one for the particular situation.

[@randomgrinn]

If you can replace the cotton ball then he should not have used the cotton ball. The point of bow drill is that you don't need to bring stuff in (Although you don't often see people making the cordage....it IS possible)

[@RoguePreparedness]

Great job!! A lot of people were wondering how it would be done in the bush but you really proved that it's just as easy to do this in the bush as it is at home! Well done!

[@kullcraven]

+Armed Rogue Thanks Morgan, i am glad to add this to my fire method aresnal. Thank you for the inspiration to try this method.

[@douggief1367]

Great video. One thing I'll add. You can always recognize the run of the grain (in this case twist) as it is reflected on the bark. That is: twisted bark = twisted wood.

[@kullcraven]

Thanks for the watch and your comment. :)

[@pondguru]

I was amazed when you did this in your back yard but even more impressed when I see it done in the bush - definitely going to give it a go. Good to see that big crazy knife got an outing too and it seemed to craft a fairly flat surface which seems fairly critical to the success of this method.

[@outlanderbushcraft3100]

Hi kull that was awesome atb Martin

[@kullcraven]

+Outlander Bushcraft Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it, pretty cool method.

[@kenturner3268]

That is impressive. One thing I would do is prep my second piece(roller) while it is in the tree. Just like you prepped the first surface. And then saw it out to use it. Seems you would have far more control to plane the second surface flat that way. Thanks for the informative video.

[@kullcraven]

Glad that you enjoyed the vid , thanks for the watch.

[@WoodlandGhost]

I love the method. This and your previous post was the first I'd ever heard of it much less seen it. I'll be trying it with alternative materials in the near future. Cat tail fluff being one. As hardcore as we all like to be, most of us carry T.P. for our sensative tushies. I wonder if T.P could be used in leu as well. I'll be doing some experimentation with this meathod for sure. Thx for sharing Wayne,....peace.

[@kullcraven]

+WoodlandGhost Sounds great let me know your findings. :)

[@hestamoffet9683]

There is a video of TP being used with this method. boggy creek beast made a video and used potassium permanganate instead of ashes on the inside of TP rolled up. from my understanding the TP would not have survived the rolling process so thats why he substituted potassium permanganate. He carries it with him for water purification so it is part of an existing survival kit.

[@TheChadWork2001]

Good job dude! Thanks. I've been telling people it can be done without lumber.

[@kullcraven]

I had to try it out , because i thought the same thing. :) Thanks for the watch.

[@odgreenoutdoors20]

That was awesome, never heard of that ever, learn something new everyday , thanks for the knowledge

[@kullcraven]

Your welcome, this is a cool method for friction fire indeed. :)

[@bushcraftcanuck1656]

Great job, Wayne. Shows how it can be done in the bush. Saw Creek Stewart do this, but he had two nice flat 2x4's to use (done as a how-to after a natural disaster when 2x4's would likely be in the wreckage).Nice to see you can make your own flat surfaces and it works just as well.

[@kullcraven]

+Bushcraft Canuck Thank you, thought i would try and see if i could get it out there, was happy when i did.

[@GEMINIOUTDOORS]

Great video Wayne definitely something I will try. I see that Jessica-X is cutting that wood very well I may have to get one of those I already have a SCHF 36 and 37 love both of them. Thanks for the video awesome.

[@kullcraven]

+GEMINI OUTDOORS Thank you, this fire roll method is very cool. im liking it. The 36 and 37 are great knives, tho i had to modify mine to work for me. I now have the upgraded versions of them to come out in 2016. They are the 51 and 52 which i will be releasing my reviews on in a few days, The jessica x , i did a video on it as well and will release the video soon. I will tell you my thoughts on it then lol

[@BorealWoodsrunner]

now i have to get this one down....just got the bow drill under my belt and now have to get this one in to i love the fire making vids some of my favorite

[@kullcraven]

+Boreal Woodsrunner yeah making fire is always awesome lol

[@Survival_in_the_wild]

Good afternoon. And without ash tried glbyte fire riding a roller?

[@kullcraven]

Not sure what you mean sorry. Ash and a few other items will work. Other folks have tested this method many times.

[@Survival_in_the_wild]

@@kullcraven Well. I'll ask a different question. Is it possible to make fire in this way without the from the old embers of an extinct fire. You mean without the ashes? I, for example, take nettle fiber and use ordinary dust from the ground, instead of old coals and everything works and is no worse. I can send you a link if you are interested. I worked out this method even in winter. Everything works like clockwork. Sincerely, Anatoly.

[@kullcraven]

@@Survival_in_the_wild Very cool, i know many used different materials, dust i didnt know about, cool thanks for the info.

[@thurst6510]

What's best to roll with hard or softwood? I have heard you should not use wood such as pine because the tree sap draws the heat away.

[@kullcraven]

Many use spruce 2x4, or fir, could be any wood i assume as long as its dry and of course not sappy. :)

[@thurst6510]

@@kullcraven Thanks, see you in the great outdoors

[@LeeRalph100]

Good Job!! I think has to be my favorite method for starting a fire! I have really learned a lot watching +boggycreekbeasts videos. He has some good primitive videos using this method

[@kullcraven]

+Lee Ralph (Pathway to Self Reliance) I just dropped by his channel yesterday after people told me about him. Alot of cool stuff there as well as David West

[@LeeRalph100]

+Kullcraven Bushcraft Yeah BCB and David West really try to expand the uses of this method. I really want to expand my uses of it in the bush..I am glad you tried and did it. I think this method will soon catch on.

[@LeeRalph100]

+Kullcraven Bushcraft I had to come back and re watch this... I really like the idea of using the fallen log as a base!! Great idea!

[@kullcraven]

Thanks man

[@KennethKramm]

Awesome. It works in real bushcraft .... Yes for showing!

[@kullcraven]

+KennethKramm Thanks Ken it was fun to try it and glad we know it can be duplicated in the bush if need be.

[@daveandrews5805]

+KennethKramm Of course it can be done in the bush. boggycreekbeast has done so many times.

[@ahmelmahay]

well done Sir great video

[@kullcraven]

Thanks Joe. :) that was awhile ago.

[@thomasmiller9205]

I’ve invested about 15-20 minutes of effort (in the garage) and succeeded. Easier than I thought. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to pre-roll these and keep them in a case. Can a bad-ass do one with their hand?

[@kullcraven]

This is a skill that i keep in the mental toolbox, just knowing how and can do it is fine with me. I rather carry a fero rod or lighter above these. Tho fun to make and use and if you want, you can make and carry them, nothing wrong with it. :)

[@MorganBW53]

I really liked how the ember lasted so long. Good stuff, Wayne. Thank you.

[@kullcraven]

+Benny Morgan I liked that the ember gave you plenty of time to dry out the bundle

[@marycmcnaught]

Excellent demo and great to see you prove it can be done! Cheers Mary

[@kullcraven]

+Mary McN Thanks Mary , hope all is well over there.

[@mykeswilderness]

Good job there Wayne. It has me wondering if maybe some charred wood, scraped and finely crushed to mimic ash and then use cattail fluff or thistle down just might do the trick? I am going to have to try that and some other combinations to see what works. I am sure a lot of us will be watching this continued experiment closely. Thanks for the video.

[@kullcraven]

+mykeswilderness Well the method has alot of people thinking , i have seen a video yesterday that jute twine and chaga dust works. Experiment i think we all will be seeing some videos on people experimenting.

[@madisonciowa3920]

I am so jealous! I have about 6 hours of video of me failing. hahahahaha I keep trying though :-)

[@kullcraven]

+Madison C Iowa ooops sorry to hear that, this is three out of three for me . I got lucky most likely or something . Remember what causes it to make the coal in the center is friction. So i move fast and apply alot of pressure. Seems to work . This one tho was alittle tough and i chopped the end to make it alittle smaller and was going to try again, then seen smoke so then waited. lol and had it.

[@madisonciowa3920]

LOL I will keep trying. :-)

[@cr0cket01]

Madison C Iowa go look at boggycreekbeast vids he shows many ways and also gives tips lol i was worse than 6 hrs i was days he gave me tips and help and told me what i was doing wrong. he is very helpfull

[@madisonciowa3920]

+cr0cket01 Boggycreekbeast's channel is where I first saw it and decided I had to know how to do it. hahahaha! He has helped me a lot. I think my problem is the top board... its not comfortable for me so I want to try a smaller one.

[@kullcraven]

Boggy creek has a video telling about the origin of this method. good channel.

[@SuperSwitched]

Wayne, who would have thunk? Great stuff I have never seen that one before :-) In your ventures and as time permits, it would be interesting to see this accomplished with all natural materials as others have stated. The reason... indigenous fire methods never relied on man made materials. When we consider that many tribes head into the bush armed with only a knife or machete. By the looks of things this methods beats a bow drill fire (or any other friction fire) hands down. It needs to be taken to the next level. The only down side I see to this method is ashes, which requires a previous fire. Dry wood is a no brainer and doesn't really present a problem (unless on Vancouver Island LOL). As previously stated in a survival situation you may only have your brain, and this puppy is a great tidbit to add to that knowledge base of self reliance. KUTGW

[@cr0cket01]

Switcher go watch this guys vids boggycreekbeast he does not always use ash and uses outdoor stuff you can find

[@SuperSwitched]

+cr0cket01 Thanks for the link. I checked him out and albeit we could consider hemp, rafia, jute and sisal as natural materials, they were all man made in his demos. Chaga to replace ashes by all means, if it is dry. I would like you to think along the lines of being parachuted somewhere with just a knife. Go!

[@kullcraven]

+Switcher This is just another way to make fire, not really a primitive fire method, altho a friction method. If you read the description i tell one way it would be useful, tho this isnot going to replace anything, just add to the ways a fire can be made. It is like lighting a fire with a match, it wont work without a match, same here this sint going to work without the cotton or ash, unless you can substitute it both. I planted the spark of interest, now people can play and learn. :)

[@SuperSwitched]

+Kullcraven Bushcraft Wayne, not quite true my friend check out boggycreekbeast. I know and understand where you are coming from, just another fire method and I am cool with that. I like this idea, don't get me wrong. Boggy took it to the next level as per the link +cr0cket01 provided but sadly using "man made" materials. For self-reliance as you know I HATE man made materials and seek the better mouse trap out of nature alone, and this one is darn close and expedient, with a caveat. Without questions, creativity stagnates :-)

[@kullcraven]

Yeah i went over and checked out his vids. you can do it with jute and hemp , but still you cant find that in my area. So if people wish to experiment, that is why i put thius spark out there, for people to do what they wish with it. It has been around for years.

[@PennsylvaniaShane1]

Now that was awesome Wayne! First I have seen this method done. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing! Peace, Shane

[@kullcraven]

+Pennsylvania Shane Thanks Shane , it is pretty cool

[@RedlineGuiding]

Outstanding demonstration. Thank you. If I may, next time use some of your ash to rub into the tinder nest and it should aid ignition significantly.

[@kullcraven]

Thanks, glad that you enjoyed the vid and thanks for the tip. I dont use it much, but good to know. :)

[@youtubethrowaway9324]

Hello I don't recognize this knife, what is this? :)

[@kullcraven]

That was the Jessica x is what it was called back in those days. Sold by Schrade, i have a review and many videos with that blade. :)

[@youtubethrowaway9324]

Looks like a nice piece , thanks for the info ! Found it! and it costs next to nothing and it's made in 1070 steel , not the greatest for edge retention but so tough it's basically indestructible ! I'm going to purchase one 👍 edit: waiiiiiiiiiiiit I see that they've changed the grind from saber to hollow ! Nope nope nope :( In knifecenter there's even a message from its designer, Chris Tanner from the YT channel Preparedmind101: Knife has been changedI am the designer of this knife. It was changed from a flat/saber grind to a hollow grind, which I do not approve of and had nothing to do with, regardless of the fact that they left my logo on the knife, which is misleading. Furthermore, I have significant evidence of VERY bad heat treatment on this batch, on top of the hollow grind. No longer representing the past 2 years of KZbin reviews. Buyer beware. - C Tanner Preparedmind101

[@4directionsbushcraft]

Dang Wayne that's awesome. I've never seen that done. I can't believe it creates that much friction and heat in order to ignite. Thanks

[@kullcraven]

+4 directions bushcraft Your welcome bro it is pretty impressive, check out the link in the description, i explain it better in that short video.

Thank you and that was an original Jess x. Chris had me in a few of his vids with my footage using the Jess x :)

[@metroplexchl]

very cool! What kind of knife is that. I have an RTAK and use it for everything. Stopped carrying an axe even. I love the handle of that knife. It relieves grip fatigue i bet!

[@kullcraven]

They dont sell this exact knife anymore i dont think. Its called Jessica x, you can see many vids on it. Thanks for the watch.

What kinda blade is that?

[@kullcraven]

That is the Schrade 43 i believe, nice heavy chopper. Thanks for the watch.

[@jonabaker]

Great video, thank you for sharing it. I wonder what it is about the wood ash that in conjunction with the cotton ball to produce enough friction for the amber. What density of ash are you looking for... more on the pulverized charcoal side or grey dust?

[@kullcraven]

+JoboBlevins I would suggest you look up the fire roll or rudger roll method and watch more videos. I have no idea how it works, it just does. Tho there are others that go into far more detail and try different things. :)

@@kullcraven Yes, that's Chris Tanner's from Prepared Mind 101 design. Schrade made the knife. But apparently now Schrade, for some weird reason, has changed the blade profile from a saber grind to the much weaker hollow grind, and ruined the knife.

[@freedomjohn2000]

Hey friend, I have a suggestion for making your handheld piece flat in a more easy fashion. Like you did with the fallen tree, before you saw it, make a flat platform with your knife. After the platform is flat, then cut it out with your saw. If you want, you can then baton it, but you might not even have to baton it. Both surfaces are flat. What do you think?

Sounds like it would work, what ever works at the time . thanks :)

+Kanzee i have been checking out his videos after people has been telling me about him after i put up the video. Guess this method has been around for along time . I'm new to it so had to share.

[@kan-zee]

@KB.. Well your the first on KZbin to make a this friction fire on a Tree, buddy...keep up the great experiments !! Looking forward to seeing you do this with processed dried Cedar bark , or Cattail fluff, and other natural materials. Cheers ;-)

[@billyjoedenny]

i like it kull , now your going to have to try it with natural fibers ... cattail ,thistal ,or crappings from your jeans and socks..... haha.. awesome video my friend , i was wondering if it would in uncontrolled conditions ... thanks kull ..bill

[@kullcraven]

+billy joe denny I am leaving the other testing to other people. I know so many ways to make fire, i am okay with just knowing a cottonball and ashes lol . Altho there are people trying other materials like jute twine and chaga dust works as well.

+Hike with Mike thanks. :)

Creek Stewart did this in one of his fat guys in the woods episodes, I believe they used a tampon, it appears to be easier than a bow drill............

[@kullcraven]

+ben terwellen Yes he did i seen that long ago, tho didnt try it till recently after watching armed rogue and david west.

hi

[@kullcraven]

thanks for watching

[@ulligoschmidt4189]

Using a fluffed tampon instead of a cottonball is much easier.

[@kullcraven]

I have to say, i never tore apart or fluffed a tampon, cotton works great, tho thanks for the tip.

[@freecheese4143]

That knife is just unwieldy for you friend.

[@kullcraven]

That knife is a beast and i carved a spoon with that thing. lol
