Micro Fire Rolls, Why When And How To Use Them
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лют 2022
- Micro Fire Rolls are ideal when you only have a very short top board, when you only have bits and pieces of cotton left to work with, or when you're just not strong enough to apply enough downward pressure to ignite a full size fire roll.
I use Micro Fire Rolls with my 8" handheld boards or when I'm top boarding with my Mora Companion, Old Hickory Butcher Knife blade, machete blade, and believe it or not, the scales on my Stanley 10-049 (See LINK below).

How long have you been working on firelighting methods, Sir?
I've got something faster than that I use a matched or a lighter !!! Lol !!!! Seriosely never knew you could do that with a cotton ball ! Still they're are so many ways to start a fire ,peace old denim cotton pecease dip it in wax its water proof or a bow and a stick thanks for the knowledge cause very soon were gone need all the knowledge we can get ,have a good one and god blesse .
That was very interesting. Never in my life heard of a fire roll before.
Thank You, please see my fire roll playlist.
As always, David is the best at this and one of the most honest instructors of fire making skills.
Too kind. TY!
Wow that is awesome,i say that because my grandpa is the only other person i seen use that technique to dtart a fire,good video sir brings back memories of my grandpa
I watch survival videos and like to practice those skills whenever I get the chance. It blows my mind that I had never heard of this incredible fire starting technique until I found this channel.
It's not like so many other methods that take a ton of practice and specific types of materials. I literally watched David do this and went outside, grabbed random pieces of wood and got it to work within a few minutes. Mind blown. I then found other videos where you can use flat rocks and about anything else, as long as you can get a roll going. After seeing David get ignition from green ragweed, I'm going to find out how many different materials I can get to ignite with this method.
Cool. There's been dozens discovered already.
I've heard people using rust and sand instead of ashes. It blows my mind too how fast the works
I tried this today and my wife was wondering what I was up to again. Thanks for the new knowledge on another way to start fire!
People will start looking at you sideways if you practice to much.
That first sentence is a universal statement made by all husbands throughout time! Lol
Thank you for your time and tutelage! First time I've been here but not the last.
I appreciate it Greg!
The king of fire starting!!!
Thanks friend!
Agreed
First time hearing about fire rolls. Thx
...you make it look so easy! A true master of the craft.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
My pleasure! Thank you!
Is it just me or are these fire rolls the coolest technique?
Coolest!
That is awesome !!!! I've always been into the outdoors and lately I'm pushing myself out more and trying to get where I can stay on the trail for a few hundred miles at a time
Another incredible video; thanks David for sharing your knowledge.
That was impressive, especially with the Mora handle. Thanks for keeping me inspired to try new things.
Did it with my Stanley Pocketknife also. LINK is in the Description.
Whoa! That was like a magic trick. I've never heard of that before, I love it.
See my fire roll playlist.
Fantastic!!! I'm 80 years old , was a Cub Scout, a Boy Scout and have camped for many years and cannot say I have ever even heard of a FIRE ROLL! I will try it tomorrow. Super video and so very informative. THANKS!
See my fire roll playlist and tutorials within.
Coolest thing I've seen today. Amazing what can be done with almost nothing. Course our ancestors would laugh at most of us at what little we know. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
You're going to like the technique! Please see my fire roll playlist.
Grandma's Ashes work really well !!!!!!
She's not in them. I hope she chose Jesus.
4:47 Yes, David, It is amazing what you do!
Thank you!
Just found your channel. Great video! My favorite fire tool alongside my knife is a Japanese block plane. It's small and light and allows me to make paper thin shavings for kindling out of even wet wood. It can also be used as a top board with your fire rolls and make the bottom board from any piece of dry wood the right size. It is also good for making wedges to baton for splitting logs. Try it!
No, I'll use my Mora.
A little bit of knowledge goes a long way thanks for sharing my friend. 🔥
Like many others, I had never heard of a fire roll before, and you made it seem easy and simple.
Guess who will be playing in the backyard tonight.
Thank you.
You're gonna love the technique. See my fire roll playlist.
Great tips there. It looks so much more efficient than using a bow.
I think so too!
David , good video , I've never seen the Micro fire roll done before , thanks for sharing ,God bless !
Thanks Michael! Friend!
David, you’re a magician! That was awesome.
Thanks friend!
Great vid. I sent this to my son he is all into the firemaking and off grid camping.
Thank you Douglas!
Heck, with the last name we have no wonder great minds think alike.

That little section of field right behind you I bet you've found some arrow heads. Oh one more thing Madison heights High school class of 1975 You remind me of Mr. Mccutcheon my history teacher he was a good teacher he would have liked you. He was a hands on teacher he showed us how to start a fire. Man how times have changed.
I looked, nothing.
Thats a good one!! Also seems fairly easy to get ignition saving calories when they are really needed!!
Easy. TY!!
I loved you on diners, drive-in and dives
Check out my cooking playlist. I take you to Flavor Town!
Awesome! Makes me wonder why anyone would ever want to wear themselves out with a bow drill. Thank you!
Even easier though, EDC 3 types of fire makers.
Love your videos keep up the great work😀
Thanks DB!
Outstanding !
Thanks Bruce!
Nice!
Good vid. Thanks. {Nice weather; enjoy it. 🙂}
Today was another pleasant one... 61 degrees. TY!
Keep up the good work brother
I experimented with an ultra-micro fireroll and was successful. I removed the cotton from both ends of one Q-Tip, opened those fibers up as much as possible, rolled into a cylinder, flattened it - added a little ash, rolled it and got the tiny ember. It was a fun challenge.
I have failed with Q-tip cotton before.
Subscribed, never seen that done before ! Thanks 👍🏻
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks!
Your the 3rd person ever to give. Thank you so much!
Awesome
I find your lessons on fire informative and provides useful techniques.
Is it possible to make fire rolls ahead of time and storing for future use?
Yes, here's a video from my fire roll playlist. SOLAR Fire Roll Dispenser (But Sunshine Is Optional) ua-cam.com/video/HLxzp3dwfVE/v-deo.html
Love your videos watching from the emerald isle
Welcome North Carolina!
Nice 👍
Thanks friend!
Alright I said I'll subscribe to this guy he'll have some other ideas we haven't thought of .We like ....... and we're from Alaska .Thank you we learned something we didn't already know .
You're going to find a lot of that here. Enjoy!
Still fascinates the crap out of me how you do that lol!
Fascinating technique! Thanks!
awsome
Baby fire rolls, so cute and they work, fast.
Hand held fire boards are easy to board with when using a micro.
Wow, don't see a viewing percentage like that often.
40k+ Subscribers and 40k+ views.
Seems like your subscribers really like what you do and make sure they watch.
30% to upper 40s%... that's not normal?
FIRST VIDEO IVE SEEN SIR AND DAVES THE NAME TOO, LOL I SUB.!!! THIS IS COOL, IM A NEWISH PREPPER AND NEVER ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE IN LIFE!!! HELLO FROM ARKANSAS!
Thanks and welcome!
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl NO PROBLEM! HELLO AND I LOVE SEEING NEW STUFF THAT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SUCH SIMPLE INGREDIENTS!
I will do this
You will succeed.
Hello David! I love the videos and they are going to come handy. I am making go pack that will contain a friction board. Is it easier to use a board that is milled such as a 2x4 pine or something else?
Practice. TY Luther.
Can one use natural materials in place of cotton, such as milk weed & cattail fluff? This is the first time I've seen this method!
Very cool! Thank you for sharing it!
Yes, please see my fire roll playlist.
Very good video I seen a couple of your other videos and I tried it very easy and works great question do you think the dust in the exhaust of your car would work I tried it but no luck for me . But I'm new to this.
I don't know. I've tried other soot that has not worked.
👍🏻👍🏻
Char cloth is so easy to make.
Would an ashed fire roll ignite with solar? Thank you and another amazing video!
Yes. See my ashed tinder playlist.
Hey Dave can make fire rolls a head of time can take backpack for hiking and camping if so what store them in ?? Oh by the way very Kool channel 🔥🔥
Yes, anything airtight, but I encourage everybody to EDC 3 fire makers.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl thanks getting back to me running through your videos now great find thank you again
so a little thought that I had. can you use dryer lint instead oh a cotton ball? I"ll have to give this a try . BTW first time I"ve seen this method of fire starting. VEERRY INNTERESTING.
Fibers are too weak and not 100% cotton. See my fire roll playlist.
What type of ashes do you use , from birch , pine , fir wood etc.
Any wood ashes work and a lot of bio-mass ashes do too.
Hello David! Do you think you could make a fire roll from cat tail seeds - cottony floaters from the cat tail head? I was just wondering what other natural unprocessed materials might do well as a fire roll. What if you needed a fire and didn't have any cotton on you? Of course there is bow drilling etc., but what else can be used for fire rolls?
If you have already made that video I am sorry that I have missed it, but I have been watching you for years now. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
There are many materials that work. See my fire roll playlist.
I saw this video’s title, and I thought, marijuana must be legal in his state. Pleasantly surprised, and I learned something as well! Thank you, sir!
Dave , do you ever take these demos to the field on tape ?
Here's a bow drill I did in the woods.
👏👏👏👍👍
🙋♂️
David will a cotton tee shirt scrap fire roll or would cotton only work
Boggycreekbeast is the only one I've seen do it. See my fire roll playlist. I have lots of fabric fire rolls in it.
David is it wise to pre-make fire rolls and store them in a container for future use?

So does the ash make it ignite easier from the rolling between the hand boards ?
Yes, see my fire roll playlist.
Two things I see here have a micro fire roll premade in your cloth char tin.
Will a micro fire roll take a spark in a emergency with flint and steel and or a Ferro rod?.
Ferro rod, F&S is not hot enough.
Can you make them ahead of time an keep them dry to use later ?
Here's the video, ua-cam.com/video/HLxzp3dwfVE/v-deo.html
I think when I try to fire roll that I do the 10 warm up and then start rolling
But I think after that apply to much pressure because it gets very long and very thin
I feel some heat on it
The harder you press down the less strokes you have to do. You shouldn't need preheats for cotton and ashes. I do 10 strokes, rotate the fire roll 180 degrees and do 10 more for a half cotton ball ignition. If I bear down as hard as I can it will ignite in 10 strokes. Some get it in 6 strokes. 1 stroke is a forward and return.
So the key is putting a lot of pressure on it? How rough should the boards be?
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl
I'll try it again tomorrow appreciate the help sir you are the master/ keeper of the flame
This man's real name is Prometheus.
Cool...So less material ignites easier in a roll...?
Yes, but for a much weaker and less enduring ember.
Have you ever tried Aluminum powder and rust?
Or magnesium shavings?
Yes. See my fire roll playlist.
8 seconds of constant rolling! That's fastest I've ever seen to get smoke going without a lighter or matches or other store bought tools
It's an easy technique.
