Your ferro rod worked just fine. What you need to do is process your fuel down to tinder before trying to throw sparks onto it. The lining of that sleeping bag is polyester which is synthetic. You need organic material like cotton, etc to catch a spark. Another spot you could have sourced cotton tinder from in by scraping your knife along your jeans to get a wad of cotton lint. Keep working on your fire building skills and you'll get it.
I ws thinking the same with the jeans but also couldn't he scrape a pile of dust from the ferro rod onto whatever tender he was using and catch the ferro dust on fire? Also isn't pine sap flammable?
@chelseawebb8461 pine sap is flammable, but you still want it to be as fibrous as possible. Throwing sparks onto pine needles won't start a fire. If you take the time to process them into fine material, they may take a spark. Scraping fat wood into shavings will be one of the most effective fire starters you can have.
That would take literally years lmao if he would do that you see how long it took him to carve that handle like I love watching his videos by all means but he needs better technique
Uh. ... U think hes capable of that? Lmfao... End up with some sticks leaned against a tree and still somehow not be able to figure that out. Lol. But hey its entertaining
Next time you find yourself in a situation where you are using the rod, scrape a small pile of the rod onto a leaf. Put that leaf onto a pile of other leafs then strike the rod onto the small pile of rod. This will cause a small fire that would have lit the pile quickly. I hope that makes sense. Basically you are grinding the rod without lighting it until you need to strike it.
FYI your doing the striker wrong. you swipe your blade towards whatever your lighting while the striker stays stationary. (preferrable with the end of the striker right against the material your lighting. Bring your lint from your dryer just keep a bag of it in some ziplocks and you will have no issue to strike/start a fire that is "free" so to speak lol.
His method of striking the ferro rod is just fine, especially for new users. It keeps you from sliding a blade around and prevents you from knocking your tinder pile over by hitting your knife into it. That being said, I strike mine towards my tinder pile, but that's because I'm comfortable with my gear and have lit many fires this way. That dryer lint idea is great though. My chosen fire starting tinder is dryer lint with a spoonful of Vaseline (petroleum jelly) worked into it inside of a small ziplock bag. The Vaseline keeps the fire going after the sparks hit it and helps light up the rest of your fire.
@@dickmonti9899 The steel wool and battery trick is such a weird and niche idea to pack for a camping trip. You know what else starts a fire every time? A lighter. If you're gonna bring something like that just bring a stupid lighter...
@@TheSquizzlet Weird and niche? Steel wool and battery has been used for DECADES. Ever go ice fishing? BIC lighter does not work well (or sometimes at all) in extreme cold. Steel wool/lighter works EVERYTIME. Many people don't/won't buy a lighter because they do not smoke.
Your “Cotton” is polyester fill… it chars because it’s melting. Pine needles, leave chips, and wood chips will not light in the forms you had them in. You literally need wood that is crushed to a pulp… like ground between two rocks. Polyester will light with a lighter, but not from a spark
Coming from a seasonal bushcrafter and camper I know you did your best with the knowledge you have but OMG I just want to reach through the screen and help you, we all started out somewhere
This is the best cold steel knife commercial I've ever seen. So strong, not even a caveman can break it lmao 😂. Had me rolling in the floor watching you put those tent poles in lmao 😂 🤣
I thought that too ! small dry stuff for kindling,plus bigger stuff around to keep the fire going,plus the green stuff will smoke more it's wet and not burn as easy ! i learnt all this in the scouts ! UK a long time ago though ! plus it's not really survival he is doing,it's just camping !
Not only could he have used anything else, but he picked the middle of the tree where he had to make two cuts, to get the literal worst / hardest to work with piece of a tree. to save himself absolutely 0 effort splitting wood.
Please don't cut down and kill green trees. You should be able to find a still solid, non punky baton by looking for some dead standing wood. It should still have lots of strength and that way you will only be taking from a dead tree.
Every video, no matter what he gets, he always finds something to complain about. I can tell Tyler is the type of guy who thinks he's right about everything and always has to argue. Also he claims he watched a lot of surivorman and learned a lot from the show yet he does everything wrong 😂
I actually have the same knife he's using in this video, and while the blade stays sharp for a while, anything outside of the blade, and holding the blade in, everything else besides the case and the blade itself is useless. The only way you're going to be able to get any use out of the ferro-rod that it comes with is by shaving some of it off into your bundle, and THEN trying to light it with it. Even then, it's honestly easier to just use a plasma lighter, or use a torch
maybe scrape a bit off the tip of ferro rod in a little pile, hit that with a spark. anchor knife and pull ferro rod back. i prefer to square up the spine of the knife for scraping too. sock lint works pretty well as tinder
hey man i absolutely love your videos keep up the great content , and done let some haters get to you , we there you accomplish it or not we’re all here to support you and to laugh at your videos, do more vids like this
Need firewood... spend 2 hours choppin wood with a knife to make a club to chop wood... with a knife, because "I work smart not hard" While in the back ground is A SHIT LOAD OF LOGS AND BRANCHES LITERALLY EVERYWHERE,
F- for survival. Every single thing poor Tyler did here was a complete failure. 😂😂😂 Putting the tent on a slope, the completely unnecessary wood chopping, starting the fire, making the food - EVERYTHING went against the book. 😂😂
That over the shoulder headlamp and pot toss were on point! Also, I have never seen tent structural posts go in like that....we always slid one segment in to the connector, connected the next to it, slid it in, connected the next...so you dont have a long unwieldy rod sticking 4ft behind you as it fights you when you line it up...that was odd to watch. I kinda like this a an example. This is exactly how 90% of the "preppers" would end up. All the gear they dont actually know how to use, enough youtube knowledge to dunning-kreuger themselves, and blind confidence....then they burn calories hacking at a tree, 12ft from one that is already downed, to make a baton that is way too big with even more effort. Work Harder, Not Smarder!
Yes those yellow leaves in a pile without crumbleing them up would have started a fire! However unless you take waterproof matches or a lighter, the best thing to take camping to make a fire is some glycerin and potassium permangenate. pour the the two together and a few seconds, instant fire.
You already have some trees on the ground you could use. And chop them into campfire wood. I would have got a cheap $5 wood saw and a $5 fixed blade knife.
Better to use the spine of your knife to rack back and forth for good dry soft wood to start fire with, and do the same with the Flint, racking fast with spine of blade angled toward the wood.
Buy a good survival guidebook. Practice some of it in your back yard. What works for you and what doesn't. $100 to $1,000, it's all useless if you don't know how to use it. You would be in a world of hurt if you were in a real survival situation. Please don't cut down any more trees. There is more than enough falling trees to work with.
that knife... is actually a spearhead!... and you gotta see the Chinese copy of that... for the same price, shorter thicker handle, [just enough to handle] longer, wider, thicket blade, that can be used as a short machete too... only downside it doesn't come with a sheath... but I'm making one out of leather my self... I forgot... it comes in 4 different shapes too...
that was the most painful thing I have watched from both of your channels lol but it show that what you see others do isn't as easy as it seems...great vid tho
Broooo easy way to start a fire with a magnesium stick is to hold the stick in the tinder and don't move it and scrape with the knife really fast up and down to make a lot of sparks fast, everything you tried would have worked even without the bark under it (though a rock would have been better)
Once down I use the fire to cut my wood. Just let it burn itself in half and then put the two halves let them burn themselves in half and so on and so on.
dude had me screaming at him in my mind at that part with him bending the wood.... "just bend it the other direction not chop the rest off! work smarter not harder!"
you mentioned Boy Scouts, funny story I got my Eagle Scout ranking days before my 18th birthday. I stayed focused and kept going until I reached the goal.
FYI, next time you want to start a fire, make sure you have several tampons. Trust me, it makes all the difference in the world. You open the tampon when ready and fray it open then use the fire starter
A 2 hours video from Tyler is welcomed any day of the year, wish there was more like this
Tyler is really good at putting me to sleep. Idk y I fall asleep when I watch his videos but man I appreciate it since I don't hardly get any sleep
Same here! It’s because he has a calm voice I think. I can’t really fall asleep without any background noise.
@@Emmilyjeweet yeah. I was wide awake but then 5 or 7 minutes into the video I fell asleep
I literally fell asleep as he was chopping at that tiny tree... woke and he was still chopping.. then turned it down a bit and slept for hours.
@@stoneskinreb same
it's called being bored

@@chelseawebb8461You right about scraping off ferro dust. Works every time.
Tyler goes outdoor (caveman) as a series would be so nice. Maybe building your own wooden hut or something, depending on laws etc.
That would take literally years lmao if he would do that you see how long it took him to carve that handle like I love watching his videos by all means but he needs better technique
Uh. ... U think hes capable of that? Lmfao... End up with some sticks leaned against a tree and still somehow not be able to figure that out. Lol. But hey its entertaining
@YourMajesty100 I'm 75% sure him being dumb is an act for the camera. This is his job and him being goofy is a lot funnier than him not.
I struggle sometimes to keep watching but it's so entertaining to see just how bad you are in nature 😂
Bad at everything, let’s be honest
Lol for real
Same I even used the cheap ones for harbor Freight and they work fine
I never saw a person set up a tent at an angle...
You never seen someone set up a tent at an angle lol 😆
NGL would enjoy more videos like this.
Tyler vs Wild. Rated T for Tyler.

Oh damn thanks 🌲 that tip. I’m outta here.
This is the best cold steel knife commercial I've ever seen. So strong, not even a caveman can break it lmao 😂. Had me rolling in the floor watching you put those tent poles in lmao 😂 🤣
Why do I get the feeling that your surviving with your house right behind the camera?
He's testing the gear not himself. Of course he's right by his house.
So much dead wood on the hillside and he's hacking at a green tree with that little knife.
I thought that too ! small dry stuff for kindling,plus bigger stuff around to keep the fire going,plus the green stuff will smoke more it's wet and not burn as easy ! i learnt all this in the scouts ! UK a long time ago though ! plus it's not really survival he is doing,it's just camping !
Tyler is slowly trying to turn his channel into timber tube 😂😂
😂😂
I love ya Tyler but OMG, how long did it take you to make a baton when you had fallen wood everywhere? Great video as always.
Not only could he have used anything else, but he picked the middle of the tree where he had to make two cuts, to get the literal worst / hardest to work with piece of a tree. to save himself absolutely 0 effort splitting wood.
Exactly! He’s using green wood!
Found the comment I was looking for 😂
@@darlenefraser3022hey! dont be so salty! 😠😠😠
@@Three-gil and you are singling me out because… ?
Tyler would 100% die in about 24 hours of actually having to survive anywhere.
That was painful to watch 😖 but your tenacity is incredible! 👍🏼
Please don't cut down and kill green trees. You should be able to find a still solid, non punky baton by looking for some dead standing wood. It should still have lots of strength and that way you will only be taking from a dead tree.
Oh cry me a river weirdo
I would have just looked for a log to hit the knife with and saved about 3 hours 😂
Only Tyler can setup camp on the side of a mountain mans a true legend
Once he admitted to spending $101 and not the $100 his thumbnail stated, I bailed.
Such clickbait!!!!
Just kidding ❤
If you get the fire started with the magnesium, you shave off some magnesium before you throw the sparks and it lights up like a dream!!!
Every video, no matter what he gets, he always finds something to complain about. I can tell Tyler is the type of guy who thinks he's right about everything and always has to argue. Also he claims he watched a lot of surivorman and learned a lot from the show yet he does everything wrong 😂
watching Tyler try to hack away at a tree for 5 minutes instead of batoning it made me shake my head in pity.
I love when it's a learning situation. Very entertaining. In my world i definitely can relate. Perseverance fella!
😂 watching this guy, I appreciate the survivalist who makes it look so easy
I presume this is just the ‘uncut’ version of the one already screened…
The title literally says that
Damn you can read titles? That’s cool
Can genuinely say this is the first 2 hour video I’ve watched all the way through
Better than watching the chiefs.
Relax, I’m an eagles fan 😂
Only Tyler can prevent a forest fire!
I actually have the same knife he's using in this video, and while the blade stays sharp for a while, anything outside of the blade, and holding the blade in, everything else besides the case and the blade itself is useless.

😂 you’re making me crazy watching you strike the ferro rod
Does anyone realize the way Tyler throws things behind him and is able to hit the spot without looking
It is amazing how he manages to not hit the huge rock and instead land the thing safely.
Years of practice!
That's actually weird lol.. it's edited I know it
Lowkey he’s an assassin, but youtube is just a little side hustle lol
Stamps pls
I love watching these videos again years later. Now $100will just about get you the food and the kfs.
You know how he put the tent up and made it harder for himself then he should have
He’s tyler tard
You need wood shavings not chips and grind some of that flint on them before sparking them 🥲
Tyler, you know they say wood knocks attract Big Foot. Part of me wishes Big Foot was real and pay Tyler a visit, lol 😂
Brothers in Arms. They’d just embrace and scratch each other.
Bigfoot is real, it did visit Tyler, in the mini Jeep durability test video.
Bro I never missed an episode of survivor man lol that show was awesome! I'm still watching all those episodes to this day.

Cotton balls with Vaseline works real well for starting fires. Tyler even went out of your dryer.

Can't use knife to scrap fibers off your pants and socks also for good fire starter.
You should get one of those pocket chain saw chains
Feel like the whole video was basically trying to start a fire
🤟😂🤟

Not a four person tent. Maybe it said for a person.
Does anyone think ol Daniel Boone will get a fire going?
All those fry leaves and you wanted to widdle down the wood? You already has many shavings from making your spear end,.
re-titled: epic fail-uncut
that was the most painful thing I have watched from both of your channels lol but it show that what you see others do isn't as easy as it seems...great vid tho
Never set your tent on an incline, use a flat surface.
Good thinking pull the fire resistant insulation out of the sleeping bag.
Wow a long video!!! Awesome!!!

Does anyone wonder why he needs a 25lbs baton? I could have lived there for 6 months without having to cut any wood for a fire.
I was surprised to see the boots l, I thought you were ganna be out there in your sandles LOL 😆
dude had me screaming at him in my mind at that part with him bending the wood.... "just bend it the other direction not chop the rest off! work smarter not harder!"
A baton is to make stuff fast and easy. It hurt watching him cut that lol
Did nobody else see the big ass spider crawl into his beard right after he opens the bag of food😂😂😂
When you know it's going be just one of those days. Handle fallsome off.
He says this is not his backyard but something tells me he’s probably less than a mile from his backyard
You will get a small ember not a flame. you then feed the ember with air and needles or grass.
Knifes are great but folding saws are the true survival tool.
I came here for the comments about the ferro rod and YT did not disappoint 😬
You see, that tent assumws that you have two people lay side by side and stack two more on top for the total of four people.
Just call this an asmr video and embrace your true calling Tyler

That's enough wood for 2 hours not 2 days.
Perhaps a smaller 1~1 1/2" baton right at the start - for me, less 'swinging blade' fatigue. You're Top Shelf, but no coffee?
