FIRE with FERRO-ROD EVERY TIME!

[@mondob2867]

Great video, thanks for showing me the "raft" and the "backstop", both are excellent and helpful additions to the knowledge of fire-making. Good job!

[@UglyTent]

Thank you, I appreciate the visit!

Thanks for sharing. Everyone develops their own way eventually according to their surroundings, available materials, climate and what they deem worthy of carrying around in their fire starting kit. Sharing these techniques are a way of perfecting skills for everyone. There are many ways to start a fire but the one crucial make or break tip that applies to them all is a BONE DRY birds nest to start.

Another great video. I’m still trying to figure out why you don’t have triple the subs that you do. Always sharing great tips! Thanks again my friend.

[@UglyTent]

Thank you, I appreciate the encouragement!

Great video bubby 💪🔥

Good video. I have to ask though. If you have to carry fatwood, why would't you instead carry cotton balls saturated in Vaseline? Lighter than wood, easier to pack and doubles as a medical aid if needed.

[@choogiesaur]

Sure but if you ran out and were out bushcrafting fatwood is pretty easy to find (if you have resinous trees) and reliable to light

Thanks for this. Absolutely perfect instructional video with solid tips. Honestly living in a coastal Canadian rainforest trying to start fires is no easy business and this helps heaps.

One of the best videos i watched, simple well detailed explanation, Thank you sir

[@Orlosthedruid]

I really love my BIC lighter for making fires.

[@theun4giv3n]

Great video. One note, a ferro rod isn't a natural material. That may have just been a slip of the tongue. It's man made. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrocerium Which I am sure you knew.

[@Mickster8614]

Good video. I watch too many people smother a fire trying to feed it.

[@SinghOutdoors]

One word: PERFECT

[@Mickster8614]

I think you meant tinder for toothpick size twigs.

[@grymgwynion3039]

Just what I was thinking. I only read the comments to see if someone's said it yet. I'm sure there'll be more though. * tiny kindling- hmmm but it's easy for me to criticise someone for not finding the right words when I'm watching my tiny cinema screen in my tiny mansion. ;-)

[@anthonyaguirre6101]

Good tips👍

[@aestheticiantrishmccarty1317]

I am sure you touched a lot of people with it Thank You for writing your story I hope you and your family are doing well , wishing you a wonderful weekend. Take Care , and Stay Safe 👍🏻

[@UglyTent]

Thank you my friend, for the comment, for watching and for reading my book. 🙏

[@dreamcreationsadventures]

Great info Kenny, I carry a small plastic coffee can with tiny sticks and Fatwood now I am going to add the 2 larger sticks for lifting for better oxygen flow if needed 👍🏻

[@theprophetez1357]

As a scout we were taught to prepare and to start a fire with only one match. As a Scoutmaster I taught my scouts the same things. Sometimes I even set up contests which they loved.

[@Nicks_Thrift_Picks]

Same here, can even split a match into several matches
