You Tried To Tell Me For Years That Charcoal Would Fire Roll

I tried cotton and charcoal for the Fire Roll many years ago. I didn't get an ignition; and, it just left behind a big black mess on my hands, the boards, and the Fire Table. I wasn't willing to revisit the technique again even though many people down through the years kept telling me that it works... Well, about an hour ago another subscriber told me that he's seen it work... repeatedly. I told him I was going outside right now and give it another try.
LOL!!! It works beautifully. I got pieces of charcoal out of the fire pit, pulverized it, and got ignition 2 out of 3 times. It takes about twice the work to get ignition compared to ashes , but is well worth it!

David West its still a mess. Awesome as always David. Be blessed brother

[@itsmeagain.1212]

Thanks for sharing this.
I bet you would be a really fun fishing buddy too.
Betting you could cook up a awesome fish too.
Thanks again.
I'm going to practice this .

[@rideronthewhitehorse2012]

nice

[@noneyobiz337]

He reminds me of Bob Ross just a calm chill type of dude

[@jtoombs56]

I was expecting you to toss a fresh crow over that nice charcoal roll fire, lol!

[@fly1327]

How the hell did I end up here? But I sure learned something!

[@CaptainAwsome]

the algorithm works in mysterious ways

[@michaelsmilder8827]

I felt the same way

[@Suckafree96_]

😂😂 same

[@zohanrock]

wow the most laid back, casual way of making fire i've seen on YT.

[@scamacho773]

Experts never rush.

[@StephenCooteNZ]

Well, dang. I have been a primitive technology enthusiast for nearly all my life and until today I was not aware of this phenomenon. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes from New Zealand.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Thanks Stephen!

[@PandorasFolly]

UA-cam, "here is how you make a charcoal fireroll"
Me, "what's a fireroll?....oh! That's cool as hell!"

[@davebloggs]

great video nicely done. Many years ago i had the privilege of meeting a very eccentric chap who said he could light a fire out of just about any thing . well i said ok lets see this where upon he pulled the lining out of his jeans pocket cut up a section scraped some charcoal from an old forest fire tree and proceed to make a roll and run it between 2 flat rocks hey presto fire. as a kid i was stunned to see this but never doubted him again. it looks way easier with cotton balls and some wood boards for sure, but a skill well worth learning. great video for sure.

[@JCWest-pr2mx]

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.

[@jasonpettit9984]

It just shows,your never to old to learn something new.... knowledge is the key...

[@redfaux74]

And a cup that is never too full.

[@antonnotna5919]

That is, by far, the coolest thing I've seen for a long time

[@mickerdoodle51]

Takes a good man to say I was wrong. Thank you for this good lesson...

[@jwsanders1214]

Yep , I've been reading the Bible almost every day for 40 years , and God shows me something new all the time . Now I'm going to show my grandsons how to fire roll , Thanks !

[@Barbutt]

Learn something new every day and you’re sure to learn something new tomorrow, God willing!

[@tdjohnsky]

J W Sanders which is the beginning of wisdom.

[@alexandergutfeldt1144]

Never heard of this technique!
Looks like I'll be binge watching!
Thank you!

[@sgtrock68]

Thanks for that. I had not even heard of that one. I thought for sure I had seen (not necessarily mastered)all the basic fire making techniques ever devised since the beginning of time. This is a new one.

[@ronaldlewis6062]

We may need this survival skill I’m sure glad I saw the demo and think I can actually get it done. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

[@canastasiou68]

Another great lesson in fire starting. Cheers David ✌

[@fallenangelwi25]

We all learn new things every day

[@phila3884]

I just discovered your playlist. I've never tried any primitive fire making technique. I like the idea of charcoal because it's something you might find on the trail in a fire-scarred area.

[@vvogt4252]

Great Information! Thanks for teaching us older guys a New Old Trick.

[@johnkalweit1778]

Great to have another option. Thanks

[@JEFLeb35712]

Awesome. Learned something new once again.

[@titsup4u]

I believe you are a good man David. Thank you for looking after us.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Thanks friend!

[@mechanicalmind496]

we're all wrong from time to time. sometimes for seconds, sometimes years. it takes an honest man to admit fault.

[@wesleymartin6506]

I learned something new again.thanks Mr.

[@jimbritt2874]

Neat little trick , never seen that done before . Thank's for the lesson 👍👍

[@StanleyMathai]

That was excellent Brother David!

[@RT10Viperman]

This is the first Ive heard of this...! Thanks for sharing...!

[@mikesherman6191]

Good to know David thanks for doing all them 🔥 videos

[@donaldbarrett2267]

After I saw this video, I watched a few more of your videos. AMAZING!!!! I never seen the fire roll technique.

[@jerryleejohnsonjr1377]

Wow!........never heard or seen this before, might save my life one day, thanks !

[@FullNelson007]

Awesome is all I can say.. I'll be trying this one myself. Thanks for sharing David!🌬💨🔥

[@draven3838]

Just taught me something new I didn't know ,thanks

[@oddballdynamics.9658]

Thank you, I love learning new things.

[@artsymamanana]

I use it in my woodstove as a fire starter. It absorbs any flammable extremely well. I never saw anyone do this.

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

What a cool method to start fires! I love it!

[@shaunlast3436]

Learn something new every day

[@1bacq1]

Thank you for showing me that. Now i am going to go check out a wood ash fire roll.

[@johnlaurin8899]

Always learning!
Thanks Dave!!

[@Chris-in-ky-ky4ckp]

Good experiment, material prep seems to be a fairly universal cardinal rule.

[@thefirstnoob5577]

I learned a new way to start a fire. Thanks.

[@patmancrowley8509]

Thanks, David. I appreciate fire starter video's.

[@henrycorichi7847]

Super cool!

[@jefw37]

I learned something new today! Thanks!

[@scottwilson1258]

Thank You Sir!!!

[@365survivalist]

Brilliant videos David 👌

[@JW-kj8zf]

Thanks for the video!!

[@TerryC69]

Hi David! One of the things that folks a bit longer in the tooth, like you and I, enjoy is the liberty that comes in the realization that we don't have to know everything. We can just say, "I don't know" and not feel diminished one little bit. I always enjoy the process in your videos but I also pay close attention to your observations as well. Happy ignitions, brother!

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Meaningful compliments. TY!

[@lukewarmwater6412]

never seen this technique before, gonna have to try it.

[@adamlutsch1975]

Very cool technique. I love it

[@joerockme7485]

THANKS , DAVID GOOD JOB I LEARN SOMETHING TODAY !

[@workinprogress5821]

That's really cool.
The things I learn on UA-cam.

[@LordFatih88]

wow awesome sir

[@michaeltubbs8767]

I learned something new. Thank you.

[@richardsolomon8076]

Nicely done David :)

[@rcnelson]

This technique rubbed me the right way.

[@pricklypear7934]

Haha!😄

[@MrArcher0]

Lol caught me off guard and had me chuckling for a good 5 minutes

[@BlakesNaturelife]

Awesome video!!!

[@leebolton234]

Cool, I’m going to teach my kids

[@billymitchem5256]

Great info

[@martinswaine2140]

Brilliant no idea that u can start a fire that way I will have go myself brilliant 😋

[@LAALPETE]

Fine steel wool works too. It's a bit more difficult, but you get a really hot ember which lasts.

[@CuteLesbo69]

I grew up in the outdoors, very confident in my ability to survive off of the land, this just blew my mind.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Mine too.

[@masterdanprice2904]

Absolutely amazing

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Please check out my fire roll playlist.

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Good demonstration David

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Thanks friend!

[@OdeeOz]

Cool survival tip for sure!

[@strongspear7315]

Well done, thanks

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Thanks for watching!

[@SimonSozzi7258]

Good stuff

[@kaybree6738]

Thank you. The teacher is teachable. Enjoying the videos. Amazing.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Thanks Kay!

[@kaybree6738]

David West The more the options, the more the training, the less the panic when the need arises.
Thank you.

[@cindycarlton2926]

Thank you

[@codyramos3200]

excellent demonstration easy to find catalyst for combustion sounds like a bet when drinking with some buddies who can make fire with out using sparks or fire haha

[@ronaldgillaspy9654]

I definitely learned something 👍

[@fernandsavoie6641]

Oh wow! Am I ever glad I stumbled on your video…looks like I’m going to be busy trying out the fire rolls on your playlist…thanks for sharing.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Fun!

[@SimonSozzi7258]

Magic! 🤯

[@LordFatih88]

thanks for good info sir

[@kking5652]

Never seen this one, Thanks.

[@rocketg4360]

I was a boy scout for 12 years, and this blows my mind. Didnt know anything like this existed. Will try!

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Please visit my fire roll playlist.

[@frenchbullfrog]

Thanks for that

[@angelaforsyth1092]

I love the little coffee can stove.

[@SKIDSnSTUFF]

And for our next trick, David West uses coffee for a fire roll.

[@davidhart8115]

My Scoutmasters never taught me fire rolls. Thank you Sir David West.

[@gregkail4348]

Now That is something I didn't expect 👍

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

TY! See my fire roll playlist.

[@jshicke]

That is a very neat method. I will have to try that myself.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Please check out my fire roll playlist.

[@noneyobiz337]

DAMN fire rolling seems to be one of the easier ways to make 🔥

[@johnlambert8929]

thanx that is just cool,like ya said better than a fire drill.and other friction methods!!!

[@SteveHMcIntosh]

That was an awesome video thank you very much

[@kenbellchambers4577]

Thanks, another nice bit of survival knowledge. I am going to try it with cotton cloth as that is a more likely thing to find lying around.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

You have to learn with the easy cotton and ashes first. Please check out my fire roll playlist.

[@retireddriver16]

Nice

[@MrFmiller]

You were using the perfect tool for pulverizing. Had you simply put the charcoal on the board and slid the other one over it the charcoal would be reduced to very fine dust very fast. It is a prehistoric way to grind grains into flour. In the field splitting a log in half and using the two halves works well.

[@Gum05]

Thanks for that info! That’s exactly how I tried to do it and my cotton roll got reduced to a tiny roll with dust all over my boards. I got ignition once, but never again.
Got to get a couple rocks and try it again!

[@stevetaylor6141]

Thanks for ur videos David ur stuff teaches alot of people keep up the good work brother

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Thanks Steve.

[@stevetaylor6141]

Anytime

[@jeffvaughn7987]

Very cool..

[@storbokki371]

OMG, I wasn't expecting that first timelapse. I busted out laughing after first being startled. haha

[@jackfrost3560]

Nice video most people don't know how to start a 🔥.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Thanks Jack!

[@MrJbaker020]

Amazing

[@mckinleypotter1785]

Ive always gathered charcoal from campfires 2 start nxt 1 with 20+yrs hiking mnts

[@donaldbarrett2267]

Man do you have some fast hands!

[@calvinhoward2407]

Once you have fire you can always have fire 👍👍👍👍👍

[@damagedtile]

Hearing you determine that it is harder with the charcoal, Im eager to give Reg wood ashes a try , looks like I have been paddling up stream all this time. Thanks David

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

It may have been harder because of the moisture in it straight off the ground like that. I'll work with it some more and let everybody know what I think.

[@bigviper64]

Very interesting! My Fireplace is FULL of Ashes this Winter. I'll add some of the ashes to my Vaseline Soaked Cotton Balls and then try lighting it with rhe Fresnel Lens you showed us earlier...if that works well, I'll fill a Zip Lock Bag full of those Cotton Balls for my next camping trip.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

That sounds like a recipe for a lot of smoke and no flames. Let me know how it turns out.

[@byrdhemenway1213]

Epic so cool

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Thanks BH!
