🔥 Unlock the secret of the Fire Roll 🔥 14 Combos and 6 Tricks you've never heard before

[@DavidBenner-cy4zl]

One of my sons, one of your fans, probably reading this post, has successfully done this method. And many more. I have given him at least one of your books. Maybe two? I have seven sons, i can't remember all of the gifts i have given. And, for years, some of my kids go into the woods with only a Swiss Army Knife or Böker multi rescue tool. Everyone alive today needs to see this video. It will save lives and give comfort.

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you so much for this wonderful story!

[@DavidBenner-cy4zl]

@FelixImmler my son is an actual genius and expert in woods craft. And a hardened combat veteran and former U. S. Marine. You two would go together as investors, researchers, and co-instructors. He is introverted and cerebral in most of his thinking. His maternal grandfather was an actual rocket scientist, MIT educated. Nothing unusual in my wife's side, who also had a high-level genius IQ. And baked the best cakes, pies and bread! You two young men are very much alike in your wood craft and adventure skills.

The ignition of t-shirt material was the most impressive to me. The next time I try it, I will take it all the way to disintegration like you did. Thank you, Felix.

[@FelixImmler]

I tried it about 10 times and 3 times I got an ember. In my opinion it's just a matter of how long stays the roll rollable, that you can work enough energie into the roll. My main problem was that layers of the roll moved always sideways into a cone and at the end th roll fell apart before I could build up enough heat. That's why I took a lot of time and almost only did forward strokes for slowly built up the heat. Because with foreward strokes i have more control. Only when I smelled smoke i switched to back and forth movements. If you can't completely manage the inflammation, you can still separate the carbonized part of the T-shirt and roll it up into a new roll. This is how you made a fire roll T-shirt in two steps. Adding a little resin to the roll end to glue it on the roll always worked well for me. And I stretched the t-shirt strip a little on the side before rolling it up. I think with stretching I was able to reduce the sideways collapse of the t-shirt a bit. Also, I would cut a pretty wide strip...maybe close to 2 inches. Unfortunately, the entertainment factor on KZbin has become increasingly important at the expense of the learning factor. That's why your channel doesn't have millions of subscribers. You have little entertainment value but a lot of learning value. Thanks for very interesting content since over 10 Years!!

I have been using the fire roll technique since I found the Bogey Creek channel a few years back. Whilst his videos inspired and taught me the basics this video has taught the nuances that usually take ages to to learn, so for that, thank you.

Felix Immler, David West and Boggy Creek Beast - the 3 Amigos of the fire roll method. Your hard work and curious nature have added to the knowledge base and will inspire many new fire rollers - thank you. When you go in the woods it will be nice to see you take the ember to flame like. If you don't have the proper tinder bundle it is easy to lose your ember and have to start all over again.

[@FelixImmler]

Fascinating Felix. You need some gentle beer glass raising exercises to unwind those muscles now !

[@FelixImmler]

Haaa ha haa this is a good idea! 🍺

[@StevanOutdoor]

Good video about tinders and the technique. The problem with the fire roll in nature is to find two flat surfaces.

[@FelixImmler]

No, i don't think so. Splitting a branch should work... then you have top board and bottom board.

[@StevanOutdoor]

@@FelixImmler I think it could work if the split is real even, but in my experience it's usually not. Of course you have the knife so you could make at least one surface flat enough or find a flat service. Also you have to bring or find and prepare the right tinder. And if you bring tinder why not bring a firesteel also? For the bow drill you need a string that most people bring (again why not bring a firesteel) but you could make from natural materials if you can find them and put in the work. The hand drill you only need the board and drill but the hand drill itself should be rather smooth to not hurt your hands so that takes work also. So my preferred method is the fire plough and if you're in bamboo land the fire saw. Depending on where you are one of the two should be easy to find without much preparation aka less amount of work.

It was cool of you to give a shout out to David West. I watch his video's often.

Nice to see you Felix and thanks for the hard work. I've never seen this technique, very interesting! It might be less popular because of the effort in advance outdoors. Finding a flat surface to roll on is not so easy , if you don't happen to stumble upon a resting point with a table, isn't it?

I think a fallen beech tree would be enough. There you will find a flat surface...maybe

[@the8bitsurvivor]

Thank you very much Felix for spending this huge efforts and sharing your expirments and results with us. Since I am following Mr West for quite some while now, I am also very familiar with his experiments. I also did similar experiments by my self, and that is where one doubt comes up: I observed, wood ash is in general a very good chemical catalyst which, what I assume, loweres the ignition temperature. I assume this is why it is also used by traditional tinder fungus preparation technics. In your video one can see, that all the experiments are done on the same base bord with the same handle. Therefore, there is a chance that your experiment got conterminated by remains of wood ash on the board. To exlude such an impact, I would love to see two additional experiments: 1) Plain cutton without filler material on a baseboard where prevously wood ash fireroll was practiced. 2) Cutton with tinder fungus on a brand-new baseboard. What is your opinion on that? I am looking forward to see the second part of your experiments. Possibly this will include one of my suggested tests, since in the forest one usually does not find wook ash lying around.

Hello Felix, as always, a very good video clip from one of the best users of a SAK! Very interesting is the physics behind these techniques. Well done (and shown)! One question is left: where can I can get ashes (as a filler) when I have no fire yet? So, being in the woods without any firestarter, the search for resin is my favorite until now. A little problem may be the production of a flat piece of wood, on which you can roll with the needed speed. And surely have a Swiss Army knife _always_ in my pocket... Greets and all the best to you! Achim

I always carry a lighter as a part of my on me person edc and in my backpack I carry a lighter matches a magnifier lens parts of a bow drill a ferrocerium rod and a fire steel, it might sound excessive but I'm not a hiker as my body doesn't allow me to walk more then a few hundred meters so when I'm going to the forest it's by car or atv and I can bring tons of unnecessary things xD

Part of a firecraft is preparation, watch for old fires to collect ash and coal from. This is the same as finding resin, rust and grasses from different parts of your search.

[@kosfireandbushcraft]

fire roll works without a filler. for example, you can ignite dry nettle with this method. but you need to be aware of the history of this technique: it was used by 2. world war POWs and in a POW camp you had dry materials (eg. cotton), wooden planks and ash. you can do it caveman style though, by using 2 flat rocks or you split a log of wood. there are first fire methods (bow drill) and second fire methods (flint&steel with charred materials, fire roll, hand drill, etc).
