- How to make char cloth and use it with a traditional flint and steel fire making kit. I show one method of creating char cloth using a Pocket Rocket stove, using the char cloth to ignite a Jute twine tinder bundle, and then using that to light a feather stick. Filmed in the back yard winter bushcraft shelter. This is a great skill to have for outdoor adventure, wilderness travel, camping, hiking, hunting etc.
Awesome. Easy enough. Thank you for educating those who have no idea how it's done. Now they know.
Your Jute Twine "Bird's Nest" is maybe the best idea for igniting the char cloth that I've seen. A great natural asset to your pack.
G'day from Down Under. Do you know that after I don't know how many years out camping, Scouting and Army Reserves (your National Guard?) I had not heard of 'char cloth' until today. This is brilliant stuff, well done. But I get the impression that that the 'outdoormanship' of you guys in North America have so much to teach us 'greenhorns' from Down Under. Really appreciate the knowledge, thanks.
finally an instuctional vid that doesnt waste my time with telling me about your day.your cat or your camera work difficulties....well done sir... EXACTLY the right way to make a video!
Good job! I especially like your flint & steel set up.
I couldn't imagine that way make char cloth. Thank you share video.
ive watched alot of vids on this subject .yours is the best.thanks
This is an excellent video! Well done.
Thanks brother!! Excellent video; straight to the information and physical examples. Perfect!
Great demonstration. Thanks!
Great tips! I made my first batch of char cloth yesterday and it came out perfect. Thank you for the great video.
Very cool. My little guy watched this and we're going to make some. Thanks!
Very clear explanation, thank you. I'd never heard of this before, or seen char cloth before.
Char cloth is great for fire start. A small fire kit would be a great barter item to trade.
Anyone thinks a person can survive on a small survival tin needs to rethink their survival needs.
Tins are great for single kits like fire then one for first aide and so on.
Awesome! great educational video thanks!
Very good. Learned something. I'm going to try this. Thank you.
Great video !!! extremely well presented and highly informative. This will definitely save some lives. Congrats!
Thanks Lawrence, I wasn't sure how to make it, your vid has taught me how, very helpful and appreciated... I'm off to make some now... :-)
This is such a great demonstration. Great vid, sir.
Wow, that's cool! 👍
From the UK that was a very good descriptive demonstration of this process, one of the best I have seen. Most helpful.
Great instruction. Thank you.
Great vid. One of the better ones I've seen, thanks.
Great demo. I'm going to make some this weekend. I have some oiled plumber's oakum that takes a spark easily and burns for several minutes, but this is a better, more primitive alternative I can't wait to try. Good job!
Great video. Thanks for the info!
very educational, thank you for the vid.
Great demo! Thanks
Thanks for sharing this vital technique, and keeping the vid / demo basic. Cheers
Very well done friend. Tks.
Excellent, Loren! Have you tried actually finding all of your materials out in the wild and then making a fire? No steel, no char cloth, just what God provides.
awesome brings me ideas thank you
Nice video. very informative.
Very educational, thanks for sharing atb
Best video I've seen on this subject.
Thank you. That was an excellent video tutorial.
Good information from your video am trying it out now..
I have been watching MANY YT videos about the char cloth and lighting fires but your video is the first one that has clearly explained it so I finally understand it! YAY! Thank you so much!!!
I subbed!!! :)
9 vids. Are you going to be making more?
Thanks for a very detailed and informative video. Keep it up.
You and I my friend are a rare find. We're the only ones I know of who hold the steel in the right hand and flint in the left. Everyone else strikes into the jute nest, personaly I think its harder that way.
FYI an Altoids can works great too for "cooking" the cloth
very awesome tip thank you for sharing with us.. Ryan
Jute twine? I was thinking you'd shaved your wife's back. So sorry, man, but I was laughing and wanted to share the good time. Seriously, thank you for explaining this; I want to make some char cloth and you've helped. Peace.
Cool vid, thanks man!
New Sub here. Thank you for the show & tell vid. I use to use tshirt...but discovered through grandpa, that Denim jeans are better. They won't tear or crumble as easy as Cotton Tshirt. cheers. ;-))
good demo !
Dude, you keep saying, "don't know if you can see that on the camera", Dude, you need to watch your own videos, so you can see what you can see and what you can't see on camera, love the videos, very good, God bless you and yours.
thank you sir, excellent demo!
VERY GOOD, THANK YOU
Thank You Thank You, I was curious how to and your way is perfect!
Good vid!
nice job!
Fantastic thank you.
great demonstaration
great job~
Thank you Lawrence!
Hello. I just sub'd. Great vid. You thought that very well. I'm going to try and make some this weekend. ThanksJim
fire start kit, jute, steel just everything you need can be found reasonably priced, great quality and shipped rapidly, Jas Townsend & Son, inc.
Thank you for a great demonstration. Yours is the best I've seen on youtube. Can the flint and steel like yours be purchased? Again, TY.
ME GUSTA ESTA MUY BIEN,SALUDOS ,,ALVARO ESPAÑA.
In small batches, yes. Some people would rather just make a lot at once, in which case a larger tin is better, and then you can use your Altoids tin to carry it instead.
Dziękuję.
Good video. Very descriptive. Thanks.
Best video on spark lighting ever. Great idea using jute cord unraveled. I am in Oz. I find pieces of flint that the Cumbadgery use as scrapers and knives. They look about the same as your piece of flint. Two questions, could you have filled the tin up with cotton pieces, or at least put more in, and what sort of steel do you find best. I have subscribed and liked. Great presentation. Thanks, Peace and Blessings.
You did a very good video on this topic! I made a video on the topic as well; but you got me beat for sure! Great audio and video
⭐👍for video.
You use pure cotton because it catches on fire at 455F/ 235C. See the Fire Piston wikipedia entry that mentions this.
Bada Bing! We make Fire!
And badabum.😂😂😂 I cant stop saying that. 😂😂
if u see at the near end of the video there is a stick that is just peeled with a knife,its just to get the dry wood in the middle out and u can use the thin wood as good tinder
you made me curious, so i went to google and it came up with a no brainer i never thought of before(guess that says a lot for my brain)....but anywhere that sells supplies for muzzleloaders may have them since the older ones are flint lock.....cabelas showed up on the google search
Very useful if you have no light or matches.
Awesome tutorial! Did i hear a car alarm at the end?
great
Charring cattail down will catch a spark too but it's an erratic spark.
Great video! Where can I get one of those striking kits?
This is a valid way to light a fire and i did give it a thumbs up but its easier to carry waterproof matches! I think there's only two ways to light a camp fire with matches (if you have to make and carry char cloth you may as well carry matches. The other way is the stick and friction method. With practice you can light a fire with nothing you had to have with you.
Very nice job on the video. I sell these.
Next video... a jute twine bracelet ? couldn't hurt in light of paracord bracelets.
Wow
Thank you so much ^_^
thanks, well done
1:47, nice burn on your thumb there...
Im SO curious why 30+ people didnt like this video.
Yeah I don't get it either. I got exactly the information I needed from this.
i take a piece of leather the sharp of the can put on top of the char cloth then the flint steel so it not mess up cloyh
Try Dixie Gun Works...they also have fire steels.
If you don't mind me asking sir, what did you make your steel from? It looked like
a bent piece of key stock to me.
Its looks like your thumb got a little toasty the first tinder bundle shot...saw you cup it in your fingers..ha ha. been there
have you tried it using the aluminum can, along with the char-cloth?
I couldn't hear it correctly but what is this - maybe you called it 'feather-stick' - made of?
You need to plug the whole when you take it off the fire.
yes you can :D
do you reckon a heat gun would work to make it?
Can I just use any black material
can i use an old birds nest
7:27 YOU ARE AN ACTOR OF "APOCALYPSE NOW": YOU WAS A SILENT CIA AGENT IN THE FIRST PART OF MOVIE(AT THE DINNER TABLE WITH THE GENERAL) !
thankyou for sharing ,,
How long will the char cloth stay effective in storage?
Forever as long as you keep it dry.
Save your time and go buy extra fine steel wool instead. It works even wet.
Why not just use firesticks.?
could you use dryer lint to make char cloth?
yes i did it
Can Char Cloth expire?
well it might get dry if u dont keep in a box or smtn
