I like the no BS content on your videos, It has been a bit jarring to see your video end without the "thank you" bit at the end I am used to. Still love the channel brother.
The human beings will not forget you for the knowledge that you serves us
Thank you🌹
That lighter trick with the para cord was genius! Thanks Dave! 👍✊
You can also carry them inside of a Mentos Pure mint case (plastic) which also prevents the fuel tab from being depressed. It also makes a relatively air tight seal.
Brilliant using an empty lighter to create spark for char. Hoarders rule.
Uhhhhh have you seen that show? I feel bad.
I have seen a lot of people make char clothe but I think that was the beat demonstration of it being used right after. I didn’t know it sparked THAT easy
Have you ever even been out in the wilderness son? 🤦
In the old days, cloth was expensive and old timers were not about to use their clothing for char cloth. When the vent hole stops smoking, cover the hole with a piece of leather / buckskin carried inside the char tin. Very nice video David.
Great vid Dave.. one good thing about YT is showing newer Outdoors enthusiasts.. when I was younger I was lucky enough to learn from an older neighbour that passed it down..🇺🇲🤠
Punk woods is my favorite material to use for char. Cattail heads are pretty good too
I haven't done that in 40 years, I think I'll do that tomorrow, I have a small tin in my shop. Its always good to keep in practice. 👍👍👍👍👍❤🇺🇸
Thanks, David! This lesson complements well the content of your book and helped me understand the usefulness of having carbonized pieces in my toolbox.
Must be a couple hundred or more bushcraft channels on UA-cam now. Dave is still the best.
Great video! I love the 36 bank line around the button to prevent gas from escaping! I'm gonna try that.
Random comments for the algorithms "Wear more hats! People aren't wearing enough hats."
Random reply for algorithm ; bought new hat today, next week i will get socks.
That charred punk wood caught that spark so easy. I am amazed. Easy to make and so easy to use.
Thanks, Dave.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us through the years!
Stay safe and have fun!
I love learning things like this. Good stuff!
I'm going to extrapolate on this. The empty discarded lighter you may find is a great find. It will ignite Fuzzy flower tops, lint from your clothing, tinder fungus, even shredded toilet paper ect... Tip: Take the metal cover off to facilitate better contact with the sparks from the lighter and roll it backwards just a bit to get bigger (as far as that tiny little ferro rod is concerned) and better sparks.
I want to thank Dave and his family and friends, the pathfinders school, all the instructors and affiliates and all the 'Canterburries' {his viewers}, I love this 'masters' content, keep marching on big Dave C 'Uncle Dave' 🪓🔪🌲🔥
AMAZING !!!!!
Awesomeness ❗️ THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT THIS IS JUST GREAT !!!!
Brilliant! I’ve always heard about this but never seen anyone actually do it from start to finish. Thank you for taking the time
Informative, useful, and concise, as usual. Nothing but respect for you, Cody, Dan, and Sean. Thank you all for being such valuable resources to the rest of the community.
Punkwood, raw or charred, my favorite. So accessible.
Tying the bic trigger, need to do that, too! Thanks Dave!
Great video Dave! You present fantastic videos, my friend!
Excellent video Dave. These short tutorials are amazing.
Agreed. It's like Einstein said:
"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."
Thanks for your videos
Just bought some of your books
and I really like them
Great video Dave thank you for sharing and all the knowledge expertise that you teach us thank you for what you do
David is the reason I got into survival and as an avid outdoorsman his lessons have saved my young dumb butt from... unpleasant situations more than once. Keep up the great work boss.
Awesome video as always. I still have a leg and a half of old jeans to char as well as a bunch of birch punk wood to char. I use an old sterno can for my char tin. Stay safe and be well. Thanks for sharing.
The use of the firebox was totally on point. I had never thought of that. Probably because I never saw it on any other video. And I have heard of using just the spark from a lighter but never seen it done. Thanks for the enlightenment. (Pun intended)
Awesome information,,,I always learn something new from every one of your vids Dave,at least one,and I appreciate your time and knowledge,thank brother....
Nice work sir. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
Much love from Switzerland
Great channel. I watch all your videos. Great work.
👍
Hi Dave, 😊, thanks for the video, just loved the trick whith the lighter, I will take that on board, and try it out ASAP, hoping you and your's are keeping well, best wishe's, Stuart.uk.
Dave is the guru in my book, always learn even on things that I think I already know.
Well demonstrated, to the point. Thanks for sharing. 👍
I make char-cloth with ab Altoids container sometimes, but I completely forgot that it works with punk. Thanks for showing us Dave! I hope you and the family are doing well and safe!
You can tell that Dave is the inspiration for so many bush craft UA-camrs
Good information, clearly presented. Thanks for sharing.
getting old my friend haha. love that you're still at it!
I used charred frass, typically brushed away when harvesting punkwood. "Wood boring Beatle larvae excrement". A highly condensed wood pulp, takes a cool spark easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Obrigado Dave por mais esse video!👍
That's very good material! Thank you.
Beautiful alchemy my friend!
Revisiting a good old classic :)
The punk wood parts that are not fully charred may not take a spark, but will keep the ember alive, so I don't fret much about getting all pieces completely charred. They also will take solar ignition easily when darkened.
Great stuff I learned quite a bit!
Thank God I found this channel
Thanks. Looks like a nice day to be out.
I know exactly how to find punk wood although i didn't know it had a specific name and i also didn't know it could be used as this. Seems better than cloth! Thanks for some more great knowledge! Keep it coming😁🇺🇸
Didn't think about that. Learned something new today. Thank you, sir.
I can't believe anyone could put a thumbs down on this kinda of education! Thanks Dave for broadening our minds once again with information that may very well be useful in the future
Nice, lots of punk wood around.
Good stuff as always!
99% of everything I have learned about woodcraft/survival is from Dave. Thank you Dave
Good stuff Dave! Thanks
Absolutely amazing thank for the vid
Amazing! Very good!!!
I learned the hard way many years ago about sparks catching on charred wood. In my first experiment with flint and steel I didn't know about char cloth and tried to ignite hair tinder. Working over an old fire ring I struck sparks into my tinder until I bloodied my knuckles on the striker. I finally noticed that a spark had caught on a charred piece of old camp fire wood. Using that I finally made fire. I have more success making fire these days.
Excellent video thanks!
Great video and thanks for sharing brother!!👊👊
Uncle Dave, lost ya for a while, found you again. Subscribed 🤘
Great video ! Old bluejeans work great for char cloth, a video on compression starters would be great !!
Excellent! Thank you!
Sure like that jacket Mr. Dave !
good stuff to know!!! Thanks man nice video
BRILLIANT INFO VIDEO MY FELLOW OHIO BROTHER !!! Well keep coming back if you keep making them , Let me be the 1st personal thank you today on this video... GOD BLESS
Off topic Dave, but the stitching on that Woobie Jacket is insane.
Thank you DAVE.
I love this stuff.
Good Advice and Good Video !
Great content
Great information thank you
Great vid. 👍
@pathfinder Thanks for another great video! And I think you answered a question for me. I've noticed that older char material doesn't light/take a spark as well. So I'm guessing instead of tossing it and making more, all I would need to do is re-char it!? Thanks again for the great videos and knowledge! I'm probably at the point where I have about learned what you have forgotten! Lol!
That is great stuff!
good flick, Dave.
Very nice.
Dave out here looking like bushcraft Santa lol
Good stuff 🤠
Thank you
>for the "I didn't know it sparked THAT easy
If I remember correctly, Flint and steel throws "cold" sparks at 500 degrees Fahrenheit whilst magnesium rods throw 15,000 degree sparks. You can light tinder bundles with just a Ferro rod but you need a 3rd party (char) for flint and steel.
Hypothetically, anything that catches fire from flint and steels cold spark will ignite from a broken lighter
Daves an effing beast!!
_my char tin has lumps of charred chaga, charred cotton and charred amadeu. Its more of a tin to throw a spark in than pick a bit of charred material to catch a spark on_
wow !!!! good man
Great vid!! I have a question about the bow drill vid you did a while back .is it hard to find the right drilling borad and does it need to be dead or alive drill borad???
I like charred punkwood much better than charcloth. Not only is it readily available in nature unlike manufactured cloth, the ember also lasts much longer.
DJ... please see my post if needed. Punk wood.... is it wood that is somewhere in between rotten and good? I know good wood. What is punk wood please? Is it another name for rotten wood?
rite on man,,
Just to add from my experience of mistakes:
Rapidly cooling down the tin box produced condensation for me after opening.
Using an unknown "cotton" cloth produced a weird mess of hard, black, I'm assuming plastic, char that wouldn't combust.
A light fitting lid, with escape hole, actually combusted the material.
So! what I learned was let the box cool naturally, be certain of the materials used, and make sure the lid is snug and only one exit for escaping gas.
Awesome
Dry (by not charred) punk wood will also catch a spark from an empty lighter and create an ember.
Great video! Question, please: Dave, what is the stove/fire box called you are using in this video? Looks interesting! How much does it weigh?
Carry charred material in fire kit, make more charred material with every fire.
Dave, can you give an update on the house? Is it complete yet? Thanks. 🇺🇸😎
Hi Dave, seeing the gas ignite leaving the tin was some good syn gas production, have you ever done that on a larger scale to run a generator or otherwise?
Could you use a 6" piece of black iron pipe with end caps and a drilled hole as a tin?
Tried this a few years ago, it’s really good but not easy to keep as it powders easily
Cool!!!🤘😁🤘
I use an old turtle wax tin to make my punk char in
Dave
Would you make a video on the best natural materials that you have used found in the woods for charing?
Scott Mohr , I think he just did.
@@BruceNitroxpro
Inner bark on poplar tree's, pith,
Cattail fuzz.
With his wealth of information there has to be other materials worth trying? ; )
The genius isn't that he used a broke lighter, I discovered that when i was 15. Whats genius is using that cord forcing you to use the flint saving you the most valuable gas for when it's needed most.
