Honestly I want to thank you for the videos, I have practiced many of the things you show, some are easy others difficult but I can always go back to your video and see what I am doing wrong if needed. Thank you, who know the impact you sharing your knowledge may have one day, you are amazing and a great teacher.
I want to practice this technique more, including finding suitable materials in my northern environment. I like the idea of not needing cordage. Take care.
NICEEEEEE, the neighbors are growing palm trees, just what we need to practice. Everything else in stock and ready to go. Great video and super helpful here in many parts of the Philippines.
That was the best explanation I've ever seen. I'm sorry to see that you're moved out of the forested area; I so envied you that local. But you'll improvise and adapt I'm sure. Good luck with your life changes. We'll still be here.
I used mule fat spindle and sycamore fire board when I got my first ember with this style. My hands were bleeding. The training I had received had been that you had to get that ember into the bundle really fast or you would loose it but I was surprised by the fact that it continued for at least three minutes before consuming all the powder. No rush. I like your easy going manner about it. I will try it again soon. I have used the floating hand method to drill holes in wood with a screw driver which seems to be a good way to practice if one has no spindle available. Thanks for the info.
Cracking video. It is a goal for 2018 to explore more fire lighting options; bow drill definitely and this floating hand demonstration should help me achieve my goal. Have a good Christmas...
I have not been able to get my hands to corporate yet. They both go down and away, down and back. LOL. Yep got a lot more practice to do. Hope everything works out in your favor. Thank you for this thumbs up video that I'm going to watch quite a few more times and try to get it right. LOL.
PFM dude! That is the first time I have ever seen that done for real. You see the movies and you get the impression that it takes hours to get an ember.
Hope all is well in the end. Love your video's and wish i found you earlier because this is one of my best sub decisions i have made yet.my 9 year old and i both look forward for more!
Thanks. Ya know the biggest caveat about butane lighters is they run out of fuel. Well, I just discovered they're pretty fragile also. Drop one just right and parts will go everywhere. This method is good to know.
I got to ask, I've been following you for a long time now. Did you use to live in California? If so what part? Because in this video it looks so familiar to where I live currently!
there's some dudes in Angeles crest that teach classes for long range shooting and help people set up their rifles and scopes. they charge up 500 per person I believe. I know you have a military background and that skill is something not too many have
Me too, I would rather beat my head against a rock to start fire. I've had great success in most of the other primitive fire-making, chert and steel, bow drill. Ps. screw that fire piston also, the only success I had was bruising my palm

I personally haven't done anything, but I love watching this show too. It is sooo interesting! I will have fun to one day finally try these! ;)

Thanks, Marine.
Thank you for your videos Cpl. Kelly! They are EXTREMELY valuable. Thank you for imparting your wisdom to us.
I like the way you explain things. Simple and straightforward. Good instructor. Thumbs up from me sir.
I like your no nonsense description of how to do this. I'll give it a try when I can.
Never stop making these videos. It's an endless and entertaining encyclopedia

Hi Cpl Kelly. Great Video! Like riding a bike skills might get rusty but if learnt properly they are never forgotten. ATB from North England. Nigel
Hope the employer thing works out in your favor corporal. Excellent video.

Outstanding performance... Thanks for making this video. I'm starting to like the Eldris more and more as well.
Great one, thanks Corporal.

Have to try this some time corporal. Great work, that's still one my soft hands have yet to do right.
Cracking video. It is a goal for 2018 to explore more fire lighting options; bow drill definitely and this floating hand demonstration should help me achieve my goal. Have a good Christmas...
Fantastic
Excellent Shawn,,,, Your choice of wood for your Spindle was very specific,, was that due to availability of other wood types,,???
Always amazing info. Thank you sir.
Man I watch your videos all day long I can't wait to go camping man.
I have not been able to get my hands to corporate yet. They both go down and away, down and back. LOL. Yep got a lot more practice to do. Hope everything works out in your favor. Thank you for this thumbs up video that I'm going to watch quite a few more times and try to get it right. LOL.

Really cool technique- thank you!
Best of luck with that employer issue...they can be a pain.
Be well & be safe, sir!
Great job. I may be wrong but I assume that the top-curve on your hearthboard helps!?
Hope all is well in the end. Love your video's and wish i found you earlier because this is one of my best sub decisions i have made yet.my 9 year old and i both look forward for more!
Wow that's cool.
Those orange fabric fishing gloves with the sticky fingers ... make for very easy drilling.
Ha, I just muscle through it, Thanks again Sir
Huh, nice tip.
Is that a broken Morakniv that you reprofiled? Oh, and thanks for this video. As always, it is most appreciated!
it is the Mora eldris, a great knife
David Thompson it's a Mora Eldris
Thanks. Ya know the biggest caveat about butane lighters is they run out of fuel. Well, I just discovered they're pretty fragile also. Drop one just right and parts will go everywhere.
This method is good to know.
Very nice demonstration. I highly recommend Flexitol Heel Balm. Are you back in So. Calif? Hope to see you at Christopher's sometime.
was thinking about dropping in on him in the future, thanks for watching
I got to ask, I've been following you for a long time now. Did you use to live in California? If so what part? Because in this video it looks so familiar to where I live currently!
yet another very good and pedagogic video...thank's corporal
let me look them up. last I checked they were doing classes and all their classes were booked
thnk u ,,, not afraid to be naked anymore
What wood did u use for the spindle?
international tactical training seminars
you should start your own outdoors bushcraft and survival classes out here. I know I could get some folks to go. that would be awesome .aka maddog🤗😎
EFFFFfffffffffffff..............Cali, lol. But thanks for the support
there's some dudes in Angeles crest that teach classes for long range shooting and help people set up their rifles and scopes. they charge up 500 per person I believe. I know you have a military background and that skill is something not too many have
Nice, Hook me up
So the combo was Mule Fat and Palm leaf stem🧐.?
Wax on wax off! Cool!
👍
Can you do a bug out. Bag vid
Soon, I did the "Get me home bag". thanks for watching
I believe they're still here in southern California at Angeles shooting range
Me too, I would rather beat my head against a rock to start fire.
I've had great success in most of the other primitive fire-making, chert and steel, bow drill.
Ps. screw that fire piston also, the only success I had was bruising my palm
Look after you're feet .
no seepwillow in Ontario, we got golden rod and mullein though.
