Anyone got this working? Struggling here. Tips?

Great video! Fun fact: Stinging nettle is called brændenælde in Danish, which translates to burning nettle. Guess we know why now!

I have a question: if the hearth board isn’t any of the woods you mentioned but it’s soft can I use it?

What Tinder Are You Adding To It?

You are actually learning exactly how people did it in the past. Much knowledge has been lost and many things must be invented again. But because people discovered fire all over the globe, it meant that the materials are still available today anywhere on the globe. We don't have to look far.. Well done once again!

I've seen Ray Mears teaching this very method to some Amazonian tribespeople who had forgotten their old fire making ways. That was over 20 years ago, so you're not the first, though you do it well.

Love this, especially the recognition of "Divine intervention"! Unfortunately, I have never seen stinging nettle in Arizona where I live.

Thank you for taking the time to do this, it's something that's bothered me for a while. Char cloths easy, but what did people use before there was char cloth and there is no easy accessible fungi. It adds to a picture forming in my head.of adaptability and comfort being fully isolated from "modern" technology. Just how much knowledge have we lost in the industrial revolution?

Great video! Im surprised there arent more faux "nature lovers" complaining about "harming" trees to use them as tools. I know one youtuber where people piss and moan every time he uses a tree for survival. Its always city dwellers unfamiliar with wild living that make the biggest stink about things they arent even familiar with😂 the cordage craft was awesome! It reminds me of when my great grandfather would make whistles out of a tree branch and a pocket knife. Thanks for the time you took to make the video:)

Mullein?

Since I was a lil boy my job for starting the camp fires was to gather those "pine snaps" off the tree branches still off the ground. Then dad would give me one match to get the fire going. So funny how you guys make me think of him. Later in scouts that one match fire became a part of the troop competitions at camporees he helped set up for the district. We always kicked butt. LOL Ya'll would have liked him 🌲...He even insisted that Eagle scouts in our troop had to do the Eagle requirements from the 1954 scout handbooks to be awarded in our troop. And still, here I am still learning more in your other vids with almost 65 rings on the stump. I am on the east coast, but still some of the charless tinder plants for flint and steel are around here. So thanks for getting the wheels turnin on that too.

Enjoying your works as always. TY. I know this is an older video, but maybe you'll see this and reply... Some time ago I remember seeing somewhere that a short winch was created by soaking a teeshirt and twisting it with branch. Supposedly the water strengthened the cotton fibers and considerable pull was achieved as the shirt twisted., balled and got shorter. But the fibers held... I wish I could remember where I saw it... Anyways, watching some of the cordage fail in this video I am wondering if you guys have ever tried soaking the cord before attempting the bow drill?

Will it work with a White Oak drill and a Willow board?

Will Virginia Waterleaf work too?

Charred bullrushes... A project for the fall.

Really good video. And good science too. I think making fire like this is not about being easy, but about achieving something important, even life sustaining in the right circumstances. Well done. I'm off to find tinders in my own environment now. Information freely shared enriches us all.

Love it.

I am surprised that this is the only video I have found that actually shows how to make a coat/blanket quickly from grass/leaves. When I watch survival shows, one of the biggest drags on the participants is getting cold at night because they have inadequate covering...... yet something as useful as making a quick blanket seems to be passed over in their "must do" lists.

You guys are the pioneer spirit incarnate. This video is what other survival channels would not dare to do. So many "survival TY gurus" starting fires on picnic tables under their patio roofs...ugh. So well done!. ...Plus you got a great narrative voice and mannerism. I hope the algorithm treats you and Dad well. Gonna keep making comments to do what I can to boost ya.

I was today old when i learned about using a ferro rod deliberately to char punky powdered tinder. TY!

Just subscribed after finding ya through the unchard tinder vids. I love you are doin this with your old man. Miss ya Dad.

Would love to make a knife an other stuff like this as well as more then go an survia with jus them thats it nothing extra or from are time an try to survive a whole week out in the bush

Awesome!

A very inspiring video, you made me go outside and forage some brambles for cordage with my 2,5 year old! Keep up the great work!

Dead leaves from a live plant being used to catch a spark sounds like wisdom to me, thanks!!!

Nettles are just flowering here in the southern united kingdom, just as lucky as you guys 2 or 3 strikes with the fire steel and it catches, just want to thank you guy's for helping me continue my journey with Bushcraft skills.

Love the video but how do you break the material down we need another video 😅

My dad grew up in Korea during a period when it was common for men to light tobacco pipes with flint and steel. Besides char, he said that the fine hairs collected from dried mugwort leaves also works without having to be charred.

Can you use other things then neddle to make tinder

Just tried processing stinging nettle into a no char tinder here in the UK Got to say I'm very impressed how easy it was to get an ember.

this is amazing! I like knowing that there is more I can do for those times when life throws you a curve ball and I need to do more for my family.

It's not what everybody else does, but innovatively out of the ordinary, that keeps people wanting more. You stand out of the crowd. Lundin, Canterbury, Graham, and others should be watching You!!!

Looks a lot like the ulu here in Alaska

Great series

Wish you would explain preparing the shat to accept the point.

Just found your channel. Great content. A lot that I haven’t seen elsewhere. Especially using natural materials.

flint is a lot harder than steel (Mohs 7 vs Mohs 6.5) so it stands to reason it scrapes a ferro rod well, particularly with its sharp edges. Personally, I'd just ditch the ferro rod entirely and use flint and steel and char.

nice job mate, this is a way to test your skills with flint and steel, to be honest, I've used microchips a lot smaller than that to develop embers and very small strikers, but eventually, it just becomes ridiculous. You need the very best tinders the smaller you go, I like amadou fluff.

This is awesome. Thank you for sharing

Steel is also great for your second fire.

“When the artist is alive in any person, whatever his kind of work may be, he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressive creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets, enlightens, and opens ways for better understanding. Where those who are not artists are trying to close the book, he opens it and shows there are still more pages possible.” Robert Henri 'The Art Spirit' 1923.... Thankyou for all that you do! You truly are bushcraft artist... Just starting on chapter one!

Where there are those that are trying to close the book, you show there are still more pages possible. Forever grateful! Blessings to this father and son! I am shocked that there aren't more survivalist looking into this further. Especially well known ones!

Exactly! The average modern person today forgets how ALL of our ancestors no matter from what part of the world wether Norway to Germany to the Middle East and so on used these tools each day and grew up with it as a common thing ya just do! It was used for many things! This just goes to show how spoiled the modern person really is nowadays! Most people will think I'm crazy, but who cares, there's coming a day in the near future where everybody's going to go back to the way it was thousands of years ago and live without electricity and will have to learn how to do all this here all over again wether they like it or not! The Roman soldiers were issued steel and flint or some sorta stone! Personally I wished the Viking days never ended! ⚔️🪶⚔️🪶

Had a kayaking mistake lead to a night out in the bush while injured and in wet layers, fern bed saved my life that night for sure. Happy to see this being taught. I also had no tools and the sun was going down so this simple sort of quick shelter made all the difference.

It's funny how people react like something is a revolutionary discovery when it's been done for thousands of years. Idk what social media sites this person was on but my grandfather taught all us kids to use nettle for several purposes including starting fires. Honestly, I thought it was relatively common knowledge. Maybe instead of relying on the internet (because the internet knows all and never lies, right?), try going out and actually talking to people. Develop those people skills and respectfully talk to your elders. They've earned their age. They're the real survivors.

Growimg up in Oregon, those damned thorns got me good as a kid.

That can be why wild fires start. But the find was very educatio. Thank you very much 😊 Love learning something I didn't know.

I'm confused. Do you use the outer skin, the inner part, or both when you prepare it?

Those are gorgeous knives
