- I'm showing how to make and process natural tinder, amadou, from Horse Hoof Fungus (Tinder fungus, Fomes fomentarias, taulakääpä) the best and easiest way. You can use amadou as natural tinder for catching sparks when making fire with flint and steel or with a ferro rod. Tulenteko ilman tulitikkuja.
In my next video I will show you the three best ways of using amadou for making fire with flint and steel.
Bushcraft - outdoor skills.
Tulen teko ja taulan valmistus.
In my other videos I'm showing traditional techniques how to make fire by using flint and steel.
Try it yourself! It's surprisingly easy and great outdoor fun!
Paras ja helpoin tapa valmistaa taulaa taulakäävästä. Taulakäävän käsittely vaiheittain parhaan lopputuloksen saavuttamiseksi.
Taula on erittäin tehokas perinteinen vanhanajan sytyke tulen tekemiseksi retkellä.

Exceptional instructional video. My favorite aspect is your overall concise shooting style, e.g. butcher-block setup, "unadulterated" live audio, and just enough use of text/diagram overlays. Great stuff - thank you!
After this stage its also perfect to make hats and wee carry bags or for drying your fishing lures, the material is usually referred to as German felt
So interesting 🤔
I have enjoyed watching this. Thank you
Thank you for your kind comments! I'm glad that you liked the video.
Seams like a lot of prep work
It is but German tinder which is amadou was the preferred tinder back in the early 1800s because pipe smokers could keep it in their pockets without having all the black mess of charred cloth as the English
Best video on what it is and how to make it!!!! Thanks great job!
Thank you for your kind words! Great that you liked my video!
Great video. Thank you for helping me to understand how to process it.
GOD Bless you and your family
Nice video very well explained , thank you for sharing
Great video but seems like a lot of work when punk wood is so easy to acquire and process.
Yes but it is good to have as many options as possible!
Now I need to go for the fungus and give it a shot add to my fire kit!
Thank you for excellent video❤
Olen viimeaikoina tehnyt taulaa ilman tuhkalipeässä liottamista.
Olen liottanut taulan palaa tavallisessa vedessä pari päivää, ja muokannut sen sormilla venuttamalla vanuttamalla ilman vasarointia.
Kuivauksen jälkeen ottaa hyvin kipinän vastaan, kun siihen hieroo tuhkaa pintaan.
Hyvä video, ja hyvä vinkki tuo pinnan rikkominen. Tarviikin kokeilla sitä seuraavaksi.
well shot and edited video, my man! pleasure to watch and exactly the information i was looking to freshen up. thanks!
Great video! Thank you!👍
Tubes might not be good tinder, but they do smoke once lit and are good mosqito repellent.
So is spent chaga. Smells good too.
if you crack the tubules down into thin rods they smoulder very much like an incense candle. I've integrated making these as part of the process of getting at the amadou.
(edit: much in the same way the tubes are removed in the video, but then further cut into narrow square rods)
Does it have to be the ash of the tree you mentioned or do most tree ash work?
Hyvin tehty video, 5/5
Kiitos paljon!
I just peel the fungus & cut the rest up, tubes, amadeu, everything into the biggest pieces that'll fit in my char tin & char it. Work great one you learn to cast sparks into your char tin.
Keep sparkin
I love the traditional preparation of amadou and admire your adherence to the old ways of doing things. That being said I think amadou is better prepared with potassium nitrate, potash (what you are doing in the traditional manner) is simply a poor man's potassium nitrate and the amadou I've tried has all been treated with potassium nitrate has been fantastic.
Thank you for your good comment!
How much potash and water do you use?
Do the ashes need to be from Birch? Or would any hardwood ash work?
“You can remove the fungus if you don’t hurt the tree” if it has fungus on it then it is already hurt.
You are quite right with that! But I'm just referring the Finnish regulations, which say that you are allowed to collect and remove the fungus from the trees if you don't harm the tree. This means for example that you are allowed to collect chaga (or Horse hoof fungus) from the living trees by using knife. Chainsaw is not allowed...
Chaga grows on live birches & l've also seen it on hophornbeam trees. It can be harvested without harming the tree. Horsehoof fungus grows on dead birch trees.
@@eschneider8799 when horse hoof is present. The tree is already doomed,
Can you use ash other than birch? I'm in a climate that doesn't grow birch.
i have used ash from other trees. usually mix as collect bits when out.
does it ignite with a piezoelectric starter?
Ihan mahtava ohjevideo, suurkiitokset! Pitää ehdottomasti kokeilla, olen jotenkin ajatellut, että prosessiin menee paljon aikaa ja vaivaa, mutta valtaosa siitä näyttää tämän mukaan tulevan ihan itsellään? (En kyllä yhtään tajua, miten taulasta pystyy tekemään isoja, tasaisia hattuja ja muita isoja esineitä, kun ei se näytä kauhean nopealta ja kevyeltä käsitellä...)
Kiitos kommentista! Homma ei loppujen lopuksi ole mitenkään mielettömän työläs. Kannattaa etsiä mahdollisimman iso taulakääpä, koska hyödynnettävä osa on kovin pieni. Käävän pitää olla myös tuore! Kuivanut ja kuollut kääpä ei käy. Tuhkakylvyn jälkeen taula leviää hakkausvaiheessa tehokkaasti. En minäkään tiedä miten tästä voisi hatun tehdä.... Huomasin myös, että pillistön poistaminen on helpompaa kun käävän leikkaa kahteen tai kolmeen palaan.
Where is this knife from
Do you have to use birch ash or can use use other hardwoods like ash,hickory and basswood?
Hi! I have used only birch ash so I don't have experience of those other trees. Unfortunately we don't have hickory in Finland and basswood and ash are relatively rare. It is important that the liquid is alkaline. One trick that might work is to use baking soda instead oh birch ash. .
You can use pretty much any wood ash.
Birch is really good for it, like Wilderness Strong said. Combining it with pine resin or candle wax can be a good alternative as well. It's about what resources you have on hand more than specific wood.
silly. too much work
Ashed tinder... you dont need amadou
You do if you're trying to ignite it with flint and steel. Not a lot of natural materials will ignite with such a low temperature spark
Look into char cloth and you'll understand better what he's saying. @@Chungustav
And wear gloves for your left hand!!! :-o
