@@wildernessstrong6131 So far you've shown me lots of ways to start a fire in the 10ish videos of yours that I've watched so far, and I've been watching bushcraft, survival, Primitive method videos since 2016 and have watched 10s of thousands of videos and thousands of hrs of videos. You have some unique methods that no one else is showing!
Great tips! Also don’t forget about feather sticks, or even just plain old shavings from just about any straight grained wood, but especially fat wood!
I really like the fact that you try to make it hard, because... it's not always summer, and it's not always sunny outside ! I've been struggling to find tinder these past 2 weeks, raining everyday, and your videos do help a lot !! Thanks again, and keep it up :)
So much good info from your vids. Very clear and easy to understand your narration too....but then again I finally found out you are in Oregon, and my first 24 years were in eastern Oregon....so we speak the same way. Lol
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.
It’s nice hearing that this content reminds you of your dad. It was a big part of my culture growing up and my dad and I have been working on passing it along to my kids as well. Thanks for the comment.
Keep sharing! Some day this nation may just remember that a blend of ancient and modern elegant strategies is a timeless recipe for resilience and engaging livelihoods. Thanks for helping us reconnect to that crucial wing from our ancestors. As my neighbors on our eastern border say, "live free or die". You are serving us all well in this regard.
Another great video. Id like to see you do a video on how the aboriginals may have transported the hand drill to protect it from the elements or maybe how you do it if not carrying a quiver for arrows to protect it in, cause we know in the wet environment it is not always easy to harvest a stalk that is ready to use on the spot.
Some of the best videos ever on fire making!! Keep them coming!
Huge compliment thanks!!

I'm 72 and been doing flint and steel and bow drill, but I have learned so much more from your videos. Thank you. I also live in Oregon
That’s great to hear! So glad you’ve enjoyed the videos. Oregon is a wonderful place for nature, bushcraft/wilderness survival education.
The way these videos are created, narration, editing, script.. is like watching something from Discovery channel. Very well done.
Huge compliment! Thank you.
This channel is gold
lol. Thank you!! 🙏
Freaking awesome! Cold and wet days are here now!
Another great fire lighting demo. Fir trees really are gold when it come to wet fire making.
Thanks BA!

Excellent video and narration! Thanks
what a brilliant and innovative series of survival videos...!
Thanks for the great compliment!

“Not always Summer”…that’s certainly true…sometimes it feels like it’s always Winter here. Glad the videos are helping.
Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Great tips! Next chance I get I'm going looking for some of that fire-dripping stuff.
Totally awesome

Tried twice to reply to your comment but couldn’t find the right words so I’ll just say amen and thank you. 🙏

That’s a good idea. We’ll put some thought into that one.
