Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires with or without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc - Навчання та стиль
I remember independently discovering this as a child. I liked to split open certain rocks because they smelled funny when I did and I tossed one at night and it sparked off of something. Probably didn't take me a day before I found another rock that made it spark more often and then probably a week before I lit my first fire with it. It was magical, I felt like some sort of wizard, bending reality to my whim. Back when there was woods around here.
I did something similar but I dont recall using it to start fires. I had a magnifying glass though and I started plenty of fires with that.
@@hughbrackett343 same
I did too, I remember that sulphur smell very well. But once my dad showed me how to make a fire bow, I stuck with that. :)
SAME! Would make sparks in the dark garage!!
I used to split open stones and little rocks for fun when I was a kid. One day I found a white and rounder formed one. I split it open and it was full of crystals. It was Quarz obviously but I felt like I found some crazy treasure and continued to seek out for theese white rocks to split open. I had a huge collection of quarz crystals after a while and even though not every stone had them it was alays like finding a treasure box when I saw one of those stones. To this day I recognize them and everytime I see a Quarz Stone I want to break it open to see inside but I obviously don't do it anymore.

Dude, you’re like a bushcrafting Gandalf. So badass!
and he makes this look so easy that its like magic haha!
Lonnie is the man! A real medicine man!
When I was very young I told my friends you can make a fire just with rocks. .. kids laugh at me and called me a liar ....
Thank you for posting this .
I feel finally vindicated .
Impressive demonstration of one of the hardest methods of fire starting.
😡😡😡😡
@@dilshaadkhalifa8133 why are you mad
Don't mind him...he's emoji blind
Boooooooo
I agree with dilshaad khalifa
2 things always amaze me. 1) the knowledge and content of these videos and by extension, your skills and knowledge. 2) how the heck you never seem to even singe your beard
Oh the beard has been singed a couple of times and was actually on fire once as well. Those will probably not be the last times either. lol
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival just be careful out there, I'm not done learning from you
Hey, Lonnie. What saw are you using there? I looked for it & only came up with Silkys & ones about that size (or the Altoona kit ones).
I was thinking the same thing!
Hahaha, I remember one time Lonnie saying his beard was emergency tinder. I believe it with how bushy it is. Keep it growing, Gandalf!
My teacher told me if I can make fire with 2 rocks he’ll give me a 100% mark on my test 😭😭 so I’m here LMAOAOA
Good luck on the test. :o)
LMAO
You are smelling sulfur because iron pyrite is composed of one molecule of iron(Fe) and two molecules of sulphur (S) = FeS2. Great video, you teach valuable life saving techniques.
Your IQ is so high it prob tickling gods nuts by now
I like you funny words magic man
The patience! I don't think people today realize how much patience it takes to do these things. Thank you. Well done! Thanks to you and Connie.
Very well done. Not many people can do this.
@Order Fry very nice 🔥🔥🔥
@Order Fry in my childhood when I was playing with crackers, a crazy boy who was my friend (now enemy) threw a piece of lit match on my other crackers and ran away. And then my all crackers, few newspapers and my father's important documents burnt. I left his friendship. Till now I didn't speak a word with him. Really fire is very dangerous...!!!
@Order Fry yes it's true
@Order Fry Also but the hateness should end both sides. He also should realize that I was the only friend who used to help him to study well. Some times I have attempted to talk with him indirect but he makes me angry by without responding to me. And still also he doesn't respect me or my family. So I never talk to him
@Order Fry ok leave it. It is very old thing to say.💓
I remember smashing rocks together with my cousins replicating something we saw on a cartoon, we never started a fire but i remember smelling sulfur when we tried some of the rocks, the reason we didn't start a fire cause we didn't know the spark has to burn something first, we just went straight into the wood like in those cartoons, and I now learned that's not the case, thank you so much for the knowledge.
God bless you. Thank you! The power outtage in Texas made me realize that I need to learn how to survive.
Two stones, a bit of moss and chagga and a man who knows nature and all survival tricks. Pure gold this is! Thnx Lonnie & Connie for shiiwing us once again how it can be done! Marvellous!
Great lesson in fire making. Someday someone may just get through a survival situation. With the knowledge you have shared.
I have been told by three different people that they were able to survive a bad situation based on what they had learned in my videos. They said that what they had learned had made the difference in them making it out alive.
What saw are you using in this video? I can't find it & am looking for a pocket saw that I can fit in a pocket.
The saw is the "Flip N Zip" by "Outdoor Edge"
That's so awesome to hear.
when you dont have someone in your family or friend group who knows the outdoors this channel is perfect! thank you for all your content. i wish a long and happy life to you and your wife :)
Have heard of this since I was a little boy. I’m 57 now and that’s the 1st time I’ve seen it done. You’re the real deal Lonnie
Lonnie and Connie, thank you really very much for these instructions! In the dark times of today your fire starting videos bring definitely a light of peace and ease.
You both have a nice time and the Lord Jesus bless you.
Yes. It can be done . When I was young, people laugh at me . Now, you've proved in front of everybody with actual video. Thank you ! 👍😆😭
I always learn from you. I can tell you and your wife are good people. Thank you both for your time and knowledge. The giving of ones time is a gift beyond words. Keep up the good work.
i have the most important exam of my life tomorrow and im here....... good
Survival/emergency fire starting level: Achievement unlocked! thanks again for being the humble knowledge sharer of all things survival & woodscraft, Mr. Bushcraft Wizard.
There's something you don't see everyday! Something to keep in the back of the noggin, for sure. I sure appreciate the video
Every one of us Wil be searching for pyrite if we ever need a fire starter now. 👌
I’m doing this because as a 10 year old I learned independently how to make a primitive hatchet, and it was nice. Now I’m making fire
I didn’t think this was actually possible. Thanks for showing how it’s actually done!
Thanks for the training that it can be done with rocks. Thanks Lonnie and Connie. Have a blessed weekend.
you are patience and wisdom incarnate. most people i've seen are in a big rush to blow on their ember and often put it out. just based on how willing you are to wait i can tell you've done this hundreds of times.
Unfortunately I am now nearly crippled at the young age of 39. But when I could walk correctly I used to love the outdoors. Camping, hunting, carving, canoeing ATVing & such. While its doubtful i could get myself in to a situation to need these skills, I absolutely still love coming here and learning them. Once I learn something I teach it to my children. I hope that someday they too can enjoy these skills and have this knowledge on hand incase of an emergency situation. Thank you Sir, and thank u Mrs. Connie for your time in making these absolute gems!!
Amazing. I remember whacking away with two big big quartz rocks at summer camp when I was 10. I really enjoyed sparks and the gunpowder smell coming from the rocks. The kids were collecting rocks to decorate for pets. I found a better method for utilizing the rocks for entertainment. I always thought it was possible but never tried. Thank you so much for proving something I have been thinking about for 45 years!
The phenomenon that you experienced with tne quartz is known as "Triboluminescence". it is a cool temperature light but can not light a fire according to the experiments I have performed with it. I even had one of my quartz rocks wet with gasoline. Though there was plenty of "sparks"/light produced, no flame. However a Tlingit native Alaskan said his dad lit a fire once on the ocean beach here in Alaska by striking two very large quartz rocks together when they needed fire while on a trip. I questioned him further but he was a young kid at the time and does not remember very well what his dad did or how he did it.
That's good to know. So I shall stick with quartz and pyrite infused rocks! Thank you.
Just like Chaga in the forest, you guys are a great resource .. Thanks much!
Amazing Lonnie. Would have never thought about iron ore in rocks. That was really cool.
You hit this one out of park, pard! Awesome!
Thanks Lonnie and Connie! Again, valuable information that is not found on other bushcraft channels. Much appreciated!
Ah, memories. I remember as a very little kid watching this technique done in movies. Being movies they never explained what rocks were used. Nevertheless I was completely fascinated. I spent many many hours in the yard striking all sorts of rocks together trying to make the spark. Having access to mostly flint and lime I of course never accomplished my task but it wasn't for lack of trying. It still was great fun for a pre-video games kid.
I do believe yours is the first video I've come across to actually demonstrate and explain it properly. Thanks for bringing me back fond memories. ☺👍
Pyrite means fire stone. Like pyrotechnics or pyre.
@@garyfrye222 Pyrite is usually found mixed in with other types of stone.
@@garyfrye222 Maybe. Was there cube shaped crystals in it?
Pyrite is not a flint-stone. But if you have both you can make sparks with it.
Wait, what?
Wasn't Blackbeard (Edward Thatch) an evil pyrite of the West Indies?
Oh, right...
Never mind.
Can i use iron plus pyrite? How to find iron rocks?
That's probably the most primitive of primitive fire starting examples I've yet seen. Absolutely caveman! So cool. Thanks, Lonnie and Connie (and Buck)!
Anyone else reminded of the monotone geologist from the big bang theory? Loved that dude, I've never understood how people find rocks boring, our species has climbed up out of the dust by way of rock, embedded within is our historic struggle to get here and it elevates us up above the clouds, across the waters and one day 🤞 to the stars. Even today, we're teaching rocks to think by careful control over structure. Amazing. Lonnie, thanks for demonstrating something I recently realised I'd never witnessed a real successful attempt of.
I really enjoyed this and always enjoy your vids. I've tried this with a piece of quartz and pyrite I have and it works super well. So well, in fact, I caught the inside of an empty dry eggshell with a paper towel inside it on fire with the sparks. It startled me. I've used pyrite with steel and had success too. Thanks for all the time and effort you both put into these lessons. You are a great teacher and Connie is great behind the camera.
Thanks again brother. You are an excellent teacher 👍🏼
I just don't understand why someone would dislike an informative video like this.
We're not a bunch of lemmings. For all you know, they disliked it because the video quality didn't meet their preferences. After all, the voice volume was somewhat muted. Besides, they have both the constitutional and UA-cam right to do it, so who do you think you are to criticise them for it. How about stuffing your arrogance, like it, and be happy about it.
@@angelus_solus Looks like one of them found me lol
@@angelus_solus Constitutional right. You had me in stitches. Thanks for making my morning that much more entertaining, I do appreciate a good chuckle.
Now, I"ve said all I need to so go ahead and mock me some more if your ego outweighs whatever emotional maturity you may or may not possess, although from the nature of your replies I'd say you're a simple-minded adult child. See, the "replies to my comments" option is as disabled as you are mentally, and was never notified of your reply. If it weren't for the fact that my curiosity got the better of me, you'd have never heard from me again. Now I don't care to read any more of your empty-headed drivel, so I won't be back to look. Feel free to waste your time replying again. You'll be talking to someone who has already shut the door. Cheerio junior! Maybe one day you'll grow to become a real man. MAYBE.
@@angelus_solus Alrighty mate. Have a good life, besides, it's your constitutional right after all.
Lonnie you are a fire wizard...keep coming up with the ancient ways people did things, great vid as always
Thanks, I was curious. Both quartz and pyrite are plentiful in my area (California Desert). We call pyrite "Fools Gold"
Russel Allen It could be foolish shit,as long as it keeps your ass alive it’s better than gold!
Yep they call it Fools Gold here in Europe, but indeed in certain situations we can call it Survivors' Gold :)
Quartz and pyrite play harmonic roles in our frequencies as well. Just like black tourmaline, onyx, etc. If you folks are into the outdoors, look into it, gems have properties that personally influence you. No joke. 432 Hertz.
For starting a camp fire I always carry in my backpack: matches in one vacuum pack, a lighter in another vacuum pack, a plastic magnifying lens, a signaling flare, a candle, 2 OZ of oil, cotton balls with vaseline inside, and newspapers. It weighs very little and it takes very little space.
It always brightens my day to see a video from Lonnie and Connie, have a great day and stay safe.
I do these kinds of fire making, too…the patience and perseverance are much needed as well as the skills to perform it….excellent video brother….
Well if otzi the iceman was here today he would have ton of fun making fire awesome stuff
When I was about 4 or 5 years of age, I started a fire accidentally with a Bic or similar brand lighter that was out of fuel. I went around just sparking this empty lighter at random stands of dry grass and other things. We were experiencing a drought that year which is probably why this one standing bunch of dead grass was dry enough to catch fire from just a spark. Anyway the start of this fire was so slow I didn't notice it was actually burning until after my older sister spotted the smoke on the other side of the house from where we were. Anyway that's the day I leaned not to play with lighters the hard way. The slow start on your fungus there and it starting from the little tiny sparks from your rocks took me back to that accidentally fire of mine. Maybe holding on to a used up disposable lighter in your gear isn't such a bad idea.
This was a great video.
I have watched so many of your videos in a row that I better stop or I will forget everything I learned 😆
You make all the hardcore stuff look so easy! Thanks Lonnie!
I don't believe this. This guy is a hired wizard!
JashQ EXPLAINS THE BEARD!
Vielen lieben für die Tipps👍🤘
I just want to say thank you for your support and knowledge.. you are awesome!!
I am so grateful that you make these videos. Thank to you an especially Bonnie for filming!
It did hurt to watch that piece of chaga get burnt up like that, some people spend half their lifetime trying to find chaga.
Bro lookin like dumbledore
Thank you so very much for this tutorial Lonnie!!! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Many blessings to you and your wife!
Thank you Lonnie and Connie for another great video. I hope you have a great Labor Day!

Why politicize everything? Can't people just enjoy an innocuous video without people bringing politics into it?
Thank you Lonni and Connie. I appreciate your efforts and thanks for adding sharing this knowledge. I have added it to my mental toolbox. God bless ya'll. ❤
That was amazing! Fire from 2 kinds of rocks! Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the Great Outdoors with your skills on survival. Your videos are life saving.
I am beginning to think Lonnie that in another couple videos you will make a pile of sticks, pour a bucket of water over it and call down fire from heaven to start your fire. You have left all the mucho camo wearing gadget survivalists far behind now. Great kudos to you and Connie. Cheers from NZ.
You are the real deal! Thanks for teaching the rest of us. Great work behind the camera too Connie.
Ya Never Disappoint us with these Demo's Lonnie ! Thanks Connie for filming. Scratch for Ole Buck & You Have A Swell Labor Day Weekend Up Yonder, Friends ! ATB T God Bless
You always have a awesome suggestions Lonnie. You Rock! ATB to you and Connie. Have a great week.
Great video Lonnie and Connie, thanks for sharing.
I was searching for a natural method of fire starting using no man made materials.
You have provided me the info. Fantastic.
I have another video that may or may not be of interest that is along the same theme as your quest.
Survival Bowdrill Fire with No Tools (no knife, no saw, no axe, no hatchet, no tools)
ua-cam.com/video/s_NwRzRydPA/v-deo.html
In that video I did use paracord for the bowdrill cordage but in the cut and paste reply below, I explain why, as well as what and how to go about using natural cordage to accomplish the same thing.
This is a copy and paste reply that I have made to address the countless number of people who have asked a similar question or made a similar comment as yours.
Natural local gathered material for bow drill cordage is easy enough to find and use during the non snow months here in Alaska as you will see in the videos at the links below. You will also see another option for cordage for anytime of year besides boot strings.
I swapped out my boot strings years ago for paracord. It holds up fantastic as a boot string. I explained all of that in the video recording but my video editing software screwed up on me and had to be shut down and restarted several times. So after editing the latter half of the video three different times, I got confused as to what i had in the video and what i left out. I did not realize that that part of the video was missing until after it was all uploaded and ready to go public. I had explained that I was using paracord like I use for my boot strings and I showed my boot strings. I showed stringing up the bow and I explained about clicking on the links above for learning how to use natural cordage for bow and drill if anyone was interested. Those links are located below here. If one has no tools, a sharp edged rock can be used to cut the willow bark off of the tree. Harvesting bark can only be done in the Spring through mid summer. Late summer the bark begins to adhere to the tree wood and can no longer be harvested very efficiently. Spruce roots can be used as friction fire cordage also and is easily harvested and processed without brought tools. A stick may help in digging for roots but is not necessary if digging in loose ground. See the video below for a spruce root bow drill instructional.

Absolutely love your channel. I recommend it highly to all who ask me about learning primitive skills.
Definitely gonna share this one. 👍🏻👍🏻
Man Lonnie you make it look so easy, your a master of your craft.
I tried starting a fire with a small piece of bastards file and a small piece of quartz.
I got some sparks and was amazed when a spark landed in my birch bark shavings, but it died out.
It was also hard trying to guide the soarks to the shavings
Good morning Lonnie and Connie
Thanks for sharing this useful video there is always room for learning,
Thanks 👍👌🇬🇧
You’re one heck of a woodman Lonnie. Love you guys! Peace and love.
Outstanding demonstration; this one deserves 3 👍👍👍 not just 1 👍!
To be successful with this method must be beyond words in a real survival situation...
That's great, I'm glad old history and techniques like this aren't lost to time.
That's really cool, I have never seen a fire started with 2 rocks. Thanks for sharing!
Where there’s a will there’s a way! This has to be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen!!! WELL DONE 👍🏼
I think Conny deserves a big thumbs up for her always great camarawork👍👍👍👍 no camera, no video 😀
To say this tutorial is significant, would be an understatement. From Utah , where pyrites are far easier to find - Thank you.
This gentleman never ceases to amaze me. Another great video!
Incredible! Demonstration on how to start a fire with just 2 rocks!! Keep up the good work I hope you have a beautiful life
Now that was cool because I didn't know with just rocks you could do that but now I remember when I was a kid we use to create sparks with rocks so don't know why I didn't put two two together but thank you for showing how easy it is
Another highly educational, and practical video. You are a awesome teacher of your craft. Lonnie you are a true master of your trade and environment. Also great camera work Connie. Have a awesome day Lonnie and Connie.
I will DEFINITELY remember this whenever I get stuck in a wild which I hope not but it’s the way. Thank you Expert
Brilliant! Watched a lot of your vids lately and brilliant is the word I can come up with for most.
I always thought banging rocks together to make fire was a myth. I never looked into it because it seemed silly. I'm glad to be shown to be wrong! That was really interesting.
Thanks a lot buddy, i was confused how the early man putting fire by rubbing stones. You gave a sense, thanks once again.
Lonnie and Connie are awesome! God bless you both!
That's awesome I remember as a kid smashing Rock's along the river and once in a while you would see Sparks this puts it all together for me
That's so cute Lonnie and Connie ❤️
Very concrete and useful in life-saving situation... That's why this is my favorite outdoor survival channel. Thanks Lonnie!
