Dude your a great dad. Not only did you make your girls day showing her she could make a fire. But you've taught her that perseverance pays off. Thats the kind of parenting we need more of. Keep up the good work.
The striker is a corona brand tool sharpener with a custom Handel. Very cool idea because you can fix up your hawk or knife in the field, not to mention a striker. Love it.
Big thumbs up to all involved. Brought a tear to my eye watching a caring Dad patiently teaching his daughter. Using a gift from another who wanted to see her succeed, as well. World needs more of these men. God Bless.
Great video it's good to see a dad taking time with their kids "especially daughters" teaching them things like this instead of the usual dads of the day playing video games with their kids great job!!!
Quite the little wolf pup you got there, she'll be a force of nature to be reckoned with in no time... good to see people starting their kids off with good life skills... all the best to you and your pack
on a real note, you should get a medal of honor for teaching the wolf pup so well. we need more of this. the lack of teaching of these kind of skills is why we are all struggling to learn now. we lost that tradition of passing this knowlage from generation to generation when we discovered oil, and electricity. life became to easy. we forgot how to struggle. and forgot that we still needed to teach our kids how to survive. you broke that circle, and I hope to see others do so as well.
I'm seeing this video for the first time that's fantastic what you did with your daughter it reminds me of my daughter when she was young. We used to spend a lot of time together and still do. Great video by the way.
These are lessons i want for my 2 daughters to give sometime. I think that basic ''survival'' skills, orientation skills, animal aware skills etc, are necessary qualities a small kid must aquire -prefferably at an early age. Our world isn't so nice, and when i see the vast amount of refugees in my country, i can't stop thinking that maybe some day i''ll be in their condition and must survive, me and my family... Many congrats!
Great job little one. Your a great father, so patient. I taught my son and he got very upset during the process. If we had that setup would have been much easier. Keep up the great work.
I just thought that was adorable. It brought tears to my eyes. Thanks Joe. I think you are very smart for starting your little girl prepping now. . Wolf customs big props. I've got a 13 autistic grandson I've told nothing is beyond his capability. I'm 55, disabled and new to prepping but I've even got my 40yr old lil sis wanting a lifestraw.
I loved this. I love how you have your little girl out teaching her stuff about the outdoors and bonding with her. these days all kids do is watch tv and play video games . when I was a kid we would get off the school bus and would be outside playing until dark. I am 24 and I have a 3yr old daughter, she is still young to do much with her but not much longer. I have her wanting to go hunting and fishing with me already lol.
It may seem like it but she's not to young bud. Take her along with you from time to time. She will love it and you will to. It's only going to get better brother.
***** Amen brother! Very good advice. I'm 52 and my baby girl is now 19 and I so wish that I would have done more like that and earlier than I started because before you know it their grown and it will break your heart because those chances are gone.
Great job Kayleigh! This is an awesome testament to the product that Joe has produced. We tend to test our skills and equipment under the best of conditions. But in the dead of winter, when it's snowing and you've just fallen out of your canoe, your motor skills will certainly be compromised to say the least. In those circumstances, it may be almost impossible to use those tiny strikers that come with the average ferro rod. I'd rather rely on something that even a seven year old can use.
That it surely possible that she will pass on her Knowledge just as her Dad has done . Blessing many people with knowledge . As always God bless you all .
Lovely video. And the title is justified too. If you are ever suffering from hypothermia, with the confusion and loss of motor skills which goes with that, you really want to have a ferro rod designed and tested to work for anybody, not just an adult in perfect condition.
Great how you let her try and try again, I know how frustrating it is when trying to teach something lol, so happy when she finally got it going great video!
God bless I and ur family....for I teaching these valuable skills to your daughter more fathers should watch and be an example to their children so that there ever ready for any situation if they ever were to get separated from family you are truly an example of what a father should be I noticed this in this short video continue doing what you're doing bring them up in the right way even if the extra they're sure to come back to the way they were talk by good parent God bless you your channel and your family
The striker is an old fashion knife sharpener, I got one at orchard supply, it does a great job at making sparks. She had the motion down, but she had the wrong angle as soon as she changed the angle of the striker she got the fire going.... Great job!
Yeah, that's what I've since learned but I really appreciate the info. My little one did great and your correct. Once she got the angle she was off to the races. Thanks again sir. Justin
Justin, this has to be the most heart-warming bush craft video I've seen. It's five minutes after I watched it and I still have a big smile on my face. I'm a new subscriber to your site and to Larry Robert's site and I always enjoy sharing your experiences and learning from both of you. I know you have time constraints, so there's no need to reply. Good luck with your store and keep up the good work!
I am sincerely impressed on three fronts. The first being what Joe came up with, Thinking even in arthritic hands, nice. Of course your daughter, but also, best or most important for last, the calm, collected and supportive father. Okay, she wins hands down, but great job taking the silver!
I've have been using this same stuff for years. The strike is a lawn mower sharpener, that's what you have in your hand, only difference he put wood the handle, comes with a rubber coated handle.
That looks like a corona speedy sharpener that has different clothes on I'm just waiting for mine to show up from Amazon. This was a great video nice to see dad's out with their kids! Thanks for sharing this bruv! Stay safe. Cheers, Jerbs.
What looks just like that and works very well for the same task is a corona knife and tool sharpener. It's a carbide tool meant for sharpening garden tool edges.
I'm sure you are right, and I'm sure that's what it is, but who cares, somebody actually took their time to take the handle off a carbide sharpener and put their time and effort into making a new handle for somebody else's little girl. I think it's beautiful, and also pretty amazing if you ask me.
Agreed. They work great. I did not take the time to put a handle on mine but I always have one in every fire kit. If for nothing but to save my main blade. Even the spine of it.
have been looking for a quality rod, an that looks like that's it. could you find out where he got the ferro rod from? good ,long, thick,quality rods are harder to come by than you might think, an I have tested quite a few.. ps nothing beats the good times with the little ones does it? good job,well done
***** You will be man. The moment you lay eyes on your kid for the first time you realize you would feed yourself to a shark if it meant they could take one more breath. We truly don't know what love is until then. She is by far the best thing I've ever done.
Now...that's what it's all about. A bit of patience and practice and encouragement! That's some parental skills of high quality. It doesn't make a bit of difference if a kid used up 50 ferro rods and 10 strikers! The important thing is she has learned to keep trying. Before long, she'll be in charge of firecraft, and dad will know that if she applies this lesson she can accomplish most anything. Teach em HOW TO HANDLE FRUSTRATION. EXCELLENT VIDEO! She did great!
It was great to see her succeed although I think she would have sooner if she would have followed her instincts in the beginning and held that striker more perpendicular rather than laying it more flat. Awesome vids bro you are a great dad also always enjoy each and everyone of them!!!
Dude your a great dad. Not only did you make your girls day showing her she could make a fire. But you've taught her that perseverance pays off. Thats the kind of parenting we need more of. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, but I honestly believe it was her that taught me perseverance. She never gives up.
Great to see a dad investing time in his daughter to teach her some valuable skills
The striker is a corona brand tool sharpener with a custom Handel. Very cool idea because you can fix up your hawk or knife in the field, not to mention a striker. Love it.

World needs more of these men.
God Bless.
Hey, I REALLY enjoyed how you encouraged your daughter and how she related to you! Great example of a dad & daughter.
Dan Rogers Thank you Dan.
I had a smile throughout the video and my face cramped up lol! Your daughter is so cute! You're a great dad, thanks for sharing!
Thank you sir. I really appreciate it.
As soon as I saw her line up the striker at a better angle (almost 90 degrees) I knew she was going to get sparks. Awesome!
Nice to see Daddy helping and teaching her little daughter! great video. thank you!
Miguel Angel Thank you sir.
Great video it's good to see a dad taking time with their kids "especially daughters" teaching them things like this instead of the usual dads of the day playing video games with their kids great job!!!
Great video with the girl. She'll remember that for years, because you helped her. The best part is you let her try it herself!
Quite the little wolf pup you got there, she'll be a force of nature to be reckoned with in no time... good to see people starting their kids off with good life skills... all the best to you and your pack
Nice vid as usual Justin, your daughter is a cutie. And Good for you Joe Mobley thats an awesome gift and alot of heart was put into it.
Survival skills and patience both taught by an awesome father.
Those are beautiful ferro rods and strikers.
astrangeone Thank you sir.
You seem to be a good father. Patient, supportive,
and validating. Instead of losing your patience and temper. Good job brother.
Thank you Brian I appreciate it.
This is priceless man!
Your daughters squeal of happiness when that spark flew and she made her own fire was just amazing.
I loved it man. Thanks for watching.
I was tickled pink when she got that spark...just can't wipe that smile of my face. Way to go to both of you!
You are an awesome dad. Seriously, just beautiful watching you with your sweet child. All blessings to you and yours.
+bloodgout Thank you so much.

Very much welcome grierwolf, and you're right, those things work great for ferro rods... Adorable kid too, I got a kick out of her frustrated grunt!
I'm seeing this video for the first time that's fantastic what you did with your daughter it reminds me of my daughter when she was young. We used to spend a lot of time together and still do. Great video by the way.

Great job by your daughter, once she worked out the angle the sparks flew. She never gave up and achieved success. Thank you for sharing.
Looks just like my daughter and me. Beautiful! Great job, little lady.
Thank you for this lovely video. ♡
Great job little one. Your a great father, so patient. I taught my son and he got very upset during the process. If we had that setup would have been much easier. Keep up the great work.
THank you Larry
That was amazing sir! Well done little one. You are teaching your daughter some life long skills.
Good on her for getting her fire lit. Good on you for encouraging her. Great video.😊👍🏼
Awesome video as a father of four daughters I can really appreciate this video
Our little ladies will always be the light behind every father's eyes.
excellent coaching dad -
we need more dads teaching kids these skills and embracing being prepared!!!!
awesome awesome !!!

Your daughter did great work with that fire starting kit . God bless you and your family .
Benjamin Reyes Thank you my friend. Maybe someday she will bring home a friend and pass it on like your daughter did with the bow.
That it surely possible that she will pass on her Knowledge just as her Dad has done . Blessing many people with knowledge . As always God bless you all .
Another bushcrafter has joined the ranks! Awesome.
❤❤❤❤❤ that is so awesome dad!!! Great job!! And great job to Joe in making a cool gadget for your daughter!!! Man I love this video!!!
She never gave up... Good video
I have 3 girls, and I love watching them grow and learn. its great to see others, and how they theach their children. thanks for sharing.
+Matthew Tikka thank you
Lovely video. And the title is justified too. If you are ever suffering from hypothermia, with the confusion and loss of motor skills which goes with that, you really want to have a ferro rod designed and tested to work for anybody, not just an adult in perfect condition.
Excellent job working with her! Almost brought a tear to my eye.
Loved the video. Kids are a joy to watch learning new skills.
OMG she's sooooooooooooooooo adorable :D OMG I was smiling when she did it. awwwwwwwww

She is a sweetheart. Thank you for sharing.
Great how you let her try and try again, I know how frustrating it is when trying to teach something lol, so happy when she finally got it going great video!

+Jay Bronson Thank you Jay. I really appreciate that and I certainly try to be the best dad a dad could be. :)
Great video, made my day! Good man and great Dad. Blessing to you and family.
That is awesome!!! Every time she starts a fire she's gonna remember that day.
I need to get her back on it. She's rusty. :)
The striker is an old fashion knife sharpener, I got one at orchard supply, it does a great job at making sparks.
She had the motion down, but she had the wrong angle as soon as she changed the angle of the striker she got the fire going.... Great job!

Way cool video. Great kit. Great dad. What a sweetheart
How precious!
Your a good father. I miss teaching my kids “stuff”.
Father/Daughter time= priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic rod and scraper! Top notch work from the look of it.
Sure is nice!
scarz1951 Thank you sir.
thats a carbide sharpener with a custom wood handle. IMO that is the best striker i have ever used. Great video.
I've have been using this same stuff for years. The strike is a lawn mower sharpener, that's what you have in your hand, only difference he put wood the handle, comes with a rubber coated handle.
That looks like a corona speedy sharpener that has different clothes on I'm just waiting for mine to show up from Amazon. This was a great video nice to see dad's out with their kids! Thanks for sharing this bruv! Stay safe. Cheers, Jerbs.
It looks like a mish-metal rod. Beautifully made.
That was fantastic! She is so great. Good on you...
Keyser Soze Thank you much. She did great.
The striker looks like either and off-the-shelf Corona or BlueHawk carbide tool sharpener that has had wooden handle scales fitted.
Martyntd5 It's bluehawk.
Great job little lady! and awesome father hood !
Thank you. She loves that encouragement.
AWESOME!!! Great job young lady!!
Vinny outside Thank you sir. She did great.
I just came across this video & so glad I did. That was grt. Thank u
that is so so cool. joe is a great guy and its great that she got it
great video! love to see the torch literally being passed.
That is so cool your teaching your kids to make fire !!!keep up the good work!!🤙
awesome vid , i cant wait to show my little one how to do this stuff, she has it in her heart. well done man,
good job man got to peak there interest at a very young age that's something to be proud of!!!
Thank you, I really appreciate it.
great video guys! Love seeing family and friends teaming up!
always gonna be the best when a "BUDDY" sends you a free gift!!!
The striker appears to be a carbide sharpening tool put into a beautiful wood handle.
The striker is a carbide sharpener, and indeed these do make fine strikers for ferro rods.
What a fantastic video in all aspects!!!!!
What looks just like that and works very well for the same task is a corona knife and tool sharpener. It's a carbide tool meant for sharpening garden tool edges.
Yeah, come to fine out that is exactly what it is. Works very well.
Great video.She is a little angel.
Looks like Kaylie (sp?) is all about the prepper jewelry, eh? Truly sweet! Good job Dad!
Man, you are a great dad. Fabulous little girl.
Is there a place a person could buy this ferro rod and striker?
By the way, the ferro rod striker looks like a Blue Hawk Carbide sharpener with the original handle replaced by a wooden one.
Yup
I'm sure you are right, and I'm sure that's what it is, but who cares, somebody actually took their time to take the handle off a carbide sharpener and put their time and effort into making a new handle for somebody else's little girl. I think it's beautiful, and also pretty amazing if you ask me.
I was gonna say it looks like the Speedy Sharp. Just wondering if using a carbide sharpener as a ferro rod striker could wear the edges down.
Agreed. They work great. I did not take the time to put a handle on mine but I always have one in every fire kit. If for nothing but to save my main blade. Even the spine of it.
Awesome! She's super cute, great job!
That just brought a smile to my face. Congratulations to you both:)
Enjoyed the video. Keep up the great work. God Bless
Awesome vid! I couldn't stop smiling while i watching it.
Thanks for showing us how parenting is done right. :-)
+jonNH123 Thank you Jon. I appreciate that sir.
That is a really nice striker.
That striker looks like a speedy sharp.
Great dad loved this video Adam from wales
YAY babygirl! Way to go!
have been looking for a quality rod, an that looks like that's it. could you find out where he got the ferro rod from? good ,long, thick,quality rods are harder to come by than you might think, an I have tested quite a few.. ps nothing beats the good times with the little ones does it? good job,well done
Put a smile on my face.
Great job Dad! Nice video
awesome video. i hope when i have kids im as good a dad as you.
***** You will be man. The moment you lay eyes on your kid for the first time you realize you would feed yourself to a shark if it meant they could take one more breath. We truly don't know what love is until then. She is by far the best thing I've ever done.
that's awsum great job little lady
She did great didn't she? I was supper proud of her.
I'm teaching my friends 3 yr old daughter bushcraft stuff she's a sponge

You're awesome and so is your daughter. I really love the gobs of sparks that throws! What steel is it?
Wonderful video.!

I was so happy for you both.
Jay
Jay Kelley I was so proud of her.
Will, one thing for sure, she don't give up easily😏
so cute !!!!!! great job !!!!
Thank you sir. She did great.
Great gift.
It was great to see her succeed although I think she would have sooner if she would have followed her instincts in the beginning and held that striker more perpendicular rather than laying it more flat. Awesome vids bro you are a great dad also always enjoy each and everyone of them!!!
Thank you. Yeah, sometimes it might just be best to let them do it there way.
Great ...👍👍👍👍👍...how much does it cost
