      @frozen6787 7 місяців тому +4

      @@Tristianmedia I'm pretty sure that this doesn't accomplish a ton by itself. There are lots of videos showing this, but what a lot of them DON'T mention is that they have a magnesium rod and a ferro rod. The magnesium rod is what you use to scrape bits off of to light. The ferro rod itself and the stuff you scrape off of it usually isn't flammable. The amount you need of the scrapings in my experience is not worth the effort usually.
      Admittedly though, in regards to the video. I'm relatively sure that the ferro rod Tyler has was just garbage though. For the most part, everything I saw him doing seemed fine (minus the fire retardant sleeping bag insulation) and still nothing wanted to light. I'm also slightly biased too though. I absolutely despise making fire with those things. They're truly awful the vast majority of the time, and the times they do work, it took an entire hour to get the fire going.
      EDIT: I just looked it up because I was curious, and apparently ferro rods ARE supposed to be flammable. I've personally never had any luck with the scraping method though. Maybe I'm just bad too and need more practice.

    • @Tristianmedia
      @Tristianmedia 7 місяців тому

      @@frozen6787 Thank you for the education on both rods. I could also be bias but when I go camping I always have a magnesium rod because it helps embed the particles into the dry bark that I normally find. Helps me light it faster. Or if that doesn’t work usually just use friction from wood to wood contact takes longer but it’s the most effective way to make a fire. When I was a kid I watched Cast Away and I always wanted to make a fire like that and it worked but took so long lol but I get what you mean. I believe also it was the cheap rod he had since it was a hundred dollar camping gear.

    32:30 if you're without an accelerant such as kerosene, or even maybe cottonwood fluff what you'd need to do I think is to scrape the flint a whole bunch with light pressure to build up a pile of flint dust then place your wood shavings on/mixed with the flint dust and then try to land a good spark on the majority of the dust and then quickly add shavings and oxygen to it when the dust ignites.

    Nice! Love your channel! Your ferro rod technique was spot on… The back of the blade usually needs to be prepped…. The tender was the issue. Pocket lint, paper, lint shaving’s from your jeans, and frayed cotton socks work great. Also, putting tender on the ground cools it and not having it in a bird’s nest shape makes it harder to pick it up and blow on. Keep it up! Practice, and you will master it!

    So if you ever want to do another Survival Challenge, I can give you a few tips from as a pretty avid hunter.
    When using ferro rods, or sparks in general, you want the tinder to be pretty flat and fluffed up. Moss, dried grass, and DEAD pine needles (or fir needles) work the best. Don't use anything that still has water. If it's green, leave it alone for fires. If it's brown, typically it's fine to use. Cattails also do well, but you have to dry them first if the bushy part of it is wet. Try to use the ferro rod roughly 6-8 inches away from the tinder for the best results. You'll be able to get a little more accuracy, though the sparks can go off in random directions sometimes. If you're too close, when you move away, the draft you make when you move quickly can snuff out the ember.
    You can do 1 of 2 things to keep the bugs away: Smoke them out with the fire (Use moss, leaves, and bundles of pine needles), or use herbs like Marigold, which is found in the Midwest and Southern United States. You can easily tell because they're orange flowers that look kinda like orange cotton balls. You can grind them up in your hands and get some of the oil-- you can tell that you got marigolds because they will smell faintly like bug spray you can buy at a store, that bitter, biting kind of scent. Rub that oil around your neck and the parts of your body that doesn't have clothes on it, like your arms and face. Mosquitoes and bugs like horseflies hate it.

      ​​​​@@shsd7579 ​​​ It actually does make a difference because the pressure is constant which is what creates more sparks and the rod is still which makes it easier to aim those sparks into a more concentrated area on x material. That being said, he could've shaved the magnesium rod a little which does shorten the life of the rod, but, it gives you a small pile of magnesium that sparks huge instantly almost every strike. This trick is used commonly in wetter conditions but works well to help people learn.

    the cotton in sleeping bags usually have some type of fire retardant in it. Also if you scrape the back of the knife on the feral rod to put some in a pile to aid in the lighting capabilities. Most of primitive camping is trial and error, just think about sports or even a new camera/computer there is a learning curve. I applaud you for attempting many different types of starter. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see you attempt it again.
