Machete Fire

[Reallush]

so, what if you only got hard wood around which you can't scrape like that..

[Colhane]

@Reallush That was Candeia a very hard wood, actually the softer woods make poorer shavings.

nice plaster on finger, Did you catch your finger there cheif ?

[Colhane]

@cyberjackcyberjack Happens in the best of families. My knives cut like a mother in law's tongue, they don't ask permission and they don't beg forgiveness.

[survivalmike]

great Video as always! :-)

Thx for sharing - really appreciate it!

What kind of hat is this particular model? Hope you can help me out with that!

thx and ATB from Austria

Mike

[Colhane]

@survivalmike My hat is a Brazilian tarp hat. They are made from old truck tarp canvas. I know you can buy then in the US from Real Deal Brazil, but I have no idea where you would find them in Austria.

[survivalmike]

@Colhane Damn!

Thx for the fast reply on my question.........really like the hat alot - unhappy to hear I wont get it here in Austria!

thx a lot for your help and keep on those great videos! really love em!

All the best

Mike

[soldaatjhu]

the problem is that you dont have a machete with you when your plane crashes!

[bowhunterpetemac]

Do you have a survival school?If so where?

[winnipegdiver]

noticed a LOT of plastic bottles I hope you didn't leave them in the woods after you had left

[Colhane]

@winnipegdiver In dry season when this video was shot we have to haul all of our water in a few km to that location. That camp is a place that only we use, we literally carved it out of the jungle as a training site. When we leave all of our extra water is placed in a cache and we haul the empties out.

[lsk300mag]

@winnipegdiver no you can tell he is the type to leave it NOT!

[LimpLoser]

Gasoline is the new Candeia; experts now believe.

[orlog12]

qual é essa madeira

[Colhane]

@orlog12 Candeia. Candeia morta fique em pé muitos anos e é muito bom para ascender fogo. Tem cheiro mal como quejo ou cachrro molhado.

[giutoniolo]

@nuckkingfuts What brand is it bro?

[dunrommin]

long time good to watch your videos again



[wawhiker]

Thanks Dave!

[basszack]

I have found if I have the knife at a 45 the other way it works better for me.Just an idea.

[LowBudgetBushcraft]

I like the back of the blade technique. I'll have to try it on some north american wood types to see what works best.

I always love watching videos were someone is being taught how to do things...especially fire lighting.

Great video.

[faolbushcraft]

Great video. That is very useful wood. Is there anything in the US, specifically the south, that has those same qualities?

[axishans]

@faolbushcraft cedar is close, also cypress but less so.

[swiftjeff]

Excellent vid!

[DualSurvival]

Very interesting stuff. I did a quick google search and found out that Candeia essential oil contains a very high percentage of Bisabolol. Bisabolol is well known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties and is used in many cosmetic formulas.

[Colhane]

@DualSurvival That's why Candeia is illegally logged out of wilderness areas here. I only use dead Candeia for fuel. Brushfires kill them and since they are filled with oil they rot very slowly so it is common to find dead standing Candeia.

[Koolkid736]

Thanks!! I'm gonna try this next time i go camping! :D

[dcordry]

Wonderful video!

[elpidi0526]
