Greetings from the dry side, my fellow Oregonians!
Hey greetings back to ya! We love the dry side of OR. Planning on making some trips over there soon. Thanks for watching!
Years and years of hard work ,learning your knowledge and sharing it .seriously this channel is the best
Very much appreciated. Glad you’re enjoying the content. We’ve got some fun stuff coming out soon so stay tuned!
Your videos are so helpful!! Thanks so much! Cheers from Canada 👍
Some good reminders for me and some great new ideas! Thank you so much!
You’re killing it. Fantastic instruction and production
So appreciated! Thanks for the compliment.
What a fantastic and kind video to put out.
By kind, I mean it would take us years to find out all this information and you're giving it away to us without hesitation.
This is what UA-cam is for.
Thank you so much.
You’re welcome and thank you for the kind compliment. We appreciate it.
I have a ton of nettles in my back yard along the fence. I'm going to have to fool around with it some time. Very interesting!
I grew up in the PNW on the Olympic Pen. We were always builiding fire. We used mostly drift wood.
I just now discovered this channel. I am really liking it. In fact I subscribed! Even this old school woodsman from the Ozarks is learning new things. Thanks 👍
Great to hear. Glad to have you on board!
Can’t wait to see what else you’ve got coming up!
Great video 👏🏻
In my neck of the woods we have juniper which falls in the same category as your cedars. Love your content!
You guys are putting out some incredible videos, keep up the good work!
We will and thank you!
Excellent!!! Best video i 've seen about fire in wet enviroment-weather!
That is much appreciated! Thanks.
very good
Best bushcraft videos i have seen so far. I have watched a lot for flint and steel and you testing all those materials to find what works, awsome. Sting nettle, water leaf, and great burdock i will be finding this spring. Can't wait to try it for myself have to see how it works in my fire piston too.
Thanks for the great compliment! Glad you’re enjoying the videos.
Excellent content as usual.
Wow what an amazingly informational and well produced video, even though i knew most of this info, it still taught me a thing or two, very nice video my friend. Fantastic job keeping it interesting. Thanks so much.
Good to hear that! Thanks for the great comment/compliment.
Great video. Very detailed and practical. I loved that you used different fire sources in the same video. As I don't live in an area with cedar, I look forward for the next video of fire in wet conditions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Amazing videos. My friend and I go camping every weekend and like to try different methods of creating a fire. We live in Florida so this video helped a lot haha. I was wondering if you could make a video about the best methods to start a fire with the Florida plants/environment. I understand this might be hard since you are from Oregon. Thanks!
Weekly fire making practice…that’s fantastic. I’ll check to see if we share any common resources Oregon/Florida.
Thanks for watching, glad you’re enjoying the content.
me, I carry a UCO lantern and Beeswax candle The candle ignites easily and swiftly dries out a teepee of dry sticks.
I really enjoyed this video, thanks for the insights! I saw the nettle one too. Awesome content. Sub'd 😊👍
That’s great to hear. Welcome aboard!
Another truly enjoyable video! In Maryland stinging nettles were everywhere. Here in Florida I need find out if it even exists down here. My quest continues. Thank you for the inspiration!
So processed cedar bark can catch a spark uncharred...
We haven’t had success with cedar and Flint/Steel yet. Great with ferro rod ofcourse.
What kind of wood do you use for the hand drill and fire board?
We have a few combos we use. I think in that video we used a cedar board and ocean spray drill. Glad you’re enjoying all the videos.
Would this work with Eastern Red Cedar trees?
Thats a great question. Our experience with Juniper/East Red Cedar is that it can be used for most of the same tasks as Western Red Cedar including fire making.
I keep looking at the handle of your knife....it looks so familiar like a Coldsteel. Then I look in your description of equipment and I see the Coldsteel Trail master! I have the O1 version for over 15 years. I would like to buy a CPM-3V version soon! But another knife that I really enjoy using for the outdoors is the Coldsteel Recon Tanto in any of the steel available. Great batoning, chopping knife!
