Endless blablabla blablabla blablabla blablabla........

this burn is what I knew as a kid, as a Indian (native American) smokeless fire. Hello from Denmark

Great stuff like usual. I have a twist put soil or sand or ashes in between the wood pieces, this will slow the fire dropping serval levels too fast and will more than double or triple the burn time of an upside down fire with dirt between the round pieces. However, it may need to be built with drier wood than you used because only the top 2 levels are mostly burning.

Pearly everlasting makes a great Kinnikanik

How did primitive man start a fire without steel? Striking flint against flint does not produce enough sparks...

I just stumbled upon your channel and subscribed after viewing a single video (Ethnobotany | Essential Plants & Trees PNW Native Americans) and plan on viewing all you've posted to pick up some tips. It doesn't hurt to have some of my own ideas and experience validated either! I've spent "unplanned" nights in the PNW and Rocky Mountain outdoors more than once after running out of daylight or being isolated away from camp due to weather (once, a headwind arose on a high plateau of the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness that was so severe I knew I couldn't hike into it to return to camp) or other circumstances. Usually, I've relied on fire to make such experiences more endurable, if not comfortable. That noted, when an "oh crap" situation develops too close to dark in a location lacking a nearby abundance of dry firewood, I've used natural vegetation to supplement the insulation of my clothing. Stuffing the space between my teeshirt and outer flannel with Salal foliage provided enough insulating loft to make the night temperatures bearable during one September bow hunting adventure that I did not need to kindle the meager firewood supply until nearly 2:00 AM!

...Wait. Scouring rush? ...I know where I can find some of that. But hold on--those are deer ribs? Which one--they seem pretty big for white tail, even the big Northern type I'm used to. The mule deer I saw on the Olympic Penninsula seemed awfully large to me, but I was a kid. I know elk, deer and moose are all technically 'deer', but do you know which these are from?

If free it would require no work to make it what you needed. The cost is your effort to make the tools you needed. Nice work 👍

So informative i wish i can do double tumbs up ❤❤

Well, it wouldn't be an exaggeration if I said, that this video... is fire! 🔥🔥🔥

I caught the flint and steel bug several years ago while hosting a camp meeting with Jim Buller. I haven't looked back and still love it!! Thanks for all those strikes! Every blow is an aim at higher education!

Did you try hemp?

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is great advice it is the same as crawling into a haystack for warmth. Awesome idea can work even better by trowing a tarp or plastic on top to make it rain proof. in my opinion the sticks to corral the vegetation in are needed to keep the pile together at night and after moving around inside some. You don't want to have to get up at night and mess with wood and other stuff if you can avoid it.

birch tree work to

but you turned the whole process around everyone is following you thank you i have a flint and steel and felt like there had to be one plant now you found that out

You could hollw a hole out the stick and sit thorn into it ❤ add pich or sap cold water makes it even harder like chewing gum inncold water

Huamn hair was for sure used bro 😅

You can also use stinging nettle seed fronds when harvesting the highly nutritious seeds around about the same time you would harvest the stalks but saves you double the time in terms of processing as you are getting 4 resources at the same time. 1. The highly nutritious seeds as Food. 2. No Char Tinder. 3. Pot scourer. 4. Exfoliater.

Hey buddy just turned me on to your channel. I just found your video on primitive fishing kit. Outstanding video. Thank you now I'm spending most of this day binge watching your videos.

Holly Crap. How did I not find this channel sooner?..!! I too live here in the PNW. I too teach some primitive wilderness skills. But not as many as I would like to know. My buddy asked me if I had seen you Chanel. He sent me this video after I had made him a traditional hook for fishing. I am now a subscriber. And if you are looking for someone to truck around and practice primitive skills. I'm your guy. Thank you for making this video and happiness channel I thought I was just a loner and a crazy person.

I made my first hand drill ember with pomegranate tree. I haven’t heard that one said on UA-cam

Crazy what a cranberry is capable of

Can you also use rose thorns or will they not work well

But how is it damp.... 😢

Rare to see it done with stone tools

Best survival channel

Greetings. Thanks for your work. Do you have an email? I have some questions about Burdock. I have harvested a bunch of dead and live leaves from various plants up in Minnesota and have been trying to catch an ember. No success and further more, it wasn’t receptive to a lighter. Curious about time how it works best. Whether time of year, moisture content, the stalk leaves, the lower bigger leaves, or type of processing works best. Thanks

Amazing! 🙌🏻🙏🏻 Did you try Mullen?

every place aint got ferns and you're still on the ground. which is often muddy. Carrying a very few lbs of proper gear, to include a 1 lb net hammock, make life SO much easier, safer, pleasant.

Legends! 🙌🏻 I keep coming back to y’all’s experiments and and so thankful for your discoveries and hard work, I always thought there must be some good natural materials as well. For the ones that are on the edge of working, I wonder if the older steels they used back in the day worked better than the ones now?

No reply necessary. Thanks for sharing. Terrific discovery. Had we been universally literate very early on, l dare say we could have extracted all seasonal lists of suitable spark catching material. Which may make this a rediscovery. All Credit to you, and for sharing too.

when I escaped from Terre Haute camp (un-fenced) in mid February of 1990, first, the 4 trash bags I had saved my butt, and when the rain turned into freezing-rain, I found an old truck bed up on drums. It had a huge hole in the roof, but not at the back. It had no rear covering, but some wonderful soul had put a big pile of wood chips back there. I spread the chips into 2 piles, had a layer under me. I pulled the chips over me and passed-out. I woke twice (that I remember) during the night, cause the chips had fallen off of me I had 4 layers of cheap cotton clothing, a pair of cheap cotton gloves, cotton socks, a beanie, and an Army field jacket. The prison officials dont exactly help you with the very best outdoor clothing! :-)

yes IF the debris is dry. if it's not, you need a way to dry it out, That can be done with hot rocks, or it can be done by exercising, but you have to hit the sweet spot of generating heat, but not sweating (much) Doing air-squats, while swinging your arms, slowly, seems to work best for me.. But you have to wonder, what the HELL are you doing out there without proper gear, or at least, a knife and a way to make fire.? ESPECIALLY with a kid depending upon you.

Köszönjük! Engem mindig zavart az a tudat, hogy előre szenesített (Otthon gázon vagy nagy tűzön !) tindereket használok. Ez a videó nagyon jó. Gratulálok a kitartó kísérletezéshez és köszönöm a közzé tételt!

I loved the part about how to identify rocks that would make great tools. There are not many videos about how to make stone tools where there's no flint or chert. Thank you!

Nice

How about identifying the tree first

Nettles! they usually find me. That makes a flint and steel make sense. Thank you for all your hard work, a brilliant video.

Brilliant ! Simply brilliant ! I got to try this asap !

Council fires are awesome

I know this is a primitive way to do this, but pardon my question: What modern tools would you suggest besides bone and stone? my expertise doesn't fall in this direction 😅😅

Love your videos. Been busy. Missed this one when it came out first.👍👍

I think that is something I can use, good tutorial

Were can I find stinging nettles ?

This channel is severely underrated.

The drilling is incredible, using a stick, some rope and stone or bone you're making super crisp holes

I'm gonna try wood nettle!

Great video! Not sure how the channel has never come across my radar but ive subscribed.

I belong to the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. I am not a spokesperson for the tribe though. Just making my place known for my opinion to make sense. I felt very disrespected in the way you talked about my tilix̣am. We are still in the process of reclaiming our food sovereignty, languages, and traditions that were literally beat out of our grand parents. Yes, GRANDPARENTS. Not ancestors. If you know a tribal person, you know a survivor of the generational trauma caused by colonial Christians and the federal government. But to speak of Oregon tribes like we aren't here... That was hurtful. Enjoying the aspect of learning how PNW tribes did things barely 200 years ago, is okay. If you came to the area back then, they would have happily taught you these things. It was just so hard listening to you mix and match various tribes' traditional ways of resource gathering. Oregon western tribes are not Oregon eastern tribes. Who are not Washington tribes on either side of that state. Let alone suggesting Oregon tribes made things the way Alaskan and BC tribes do/did. We made bark armor out of the western red cedar here in the valley and on the coast. We didn't really weave other trees into armor. That sounds like the Tlingit. Their armor was a formidable thing to contend with. Ours only tried to protect the vital organs in an arrow fight. I hope to find an apology somewhere in your profile/videos. To all the indigenous you hurt by making it sound like tribes out here were all doing the same things and are no longer even here. Otherwise you are no better than other colonial descent people who assume for what ever reason that we don't exist and therefore our traditions that are still alive today, are yours for the taking. Do better, be better. hayu masi
