@NaturalBushcraft Thank you my friend! The tinder was a jute nest. About 4 inches of jute made that. Thanks for watching!

You make it look easy and its one of the hardest fire methods I have ever done but one of the most gratifying also. Thanks for sharing this great VId...

[PackRat556]

@cjc5531 Thank you CJ! I appreciate you watching my friend!

[streamsoflivingwater]

Sweet!

[Pir8AdventureLeague]

Man, you're starting them young! It's always a great thing to see a family sharing knowledge :D

[Tengan65]

Wonderful vid... Keep up the good work!

[Cheator40]

Nice vid PackRat... mad skillz on that bow drill fire, you made that look easy and we all know its not. Cool to see you teaching fire skills to your cousins son also.

[TheYTViolation]

Well done. Very nice. Cool for the youngster to not just spark a fire, but spark an interest in the outdoors. Thanks!

[Cr0cket20]

So cool to see the little guy succeed in making the fire.

Great vid ! you should have showed him the reverse steel use where you pull the ferocium rod in stead of flicking the steel. As a kid i hated it when adults would "show" me how to do some thing by holding my hands then giving me credit when the task was accomplished, even tho i couldn't replicate it. Your kids will appreciate it more if they REALLY do it themselves. A little more patients goes a long ways.

[PackRat556]

@astrialkil I understand your point. I did try to show him reverse method, "pull the rod", but he didn't have the coordination to do that. I also tried to let him do it on his own for about 10 to 15 minutes with no result. When he said "daddy I don't want to do this anymore!" we knew we better help him see it could be done. He was quite satisfied with the results on this run, and we will work towards getting him to do it on his own with each outing. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[CampfireTalk]

Very nice PackRat, passing on an appreciation of God's creation is one of the greatest gifts we can give our kids & the next generation.

[sonofsigns]

packrat seems to put some of the big timers to shame. helluva job

[Involved6]

Instilling the value of self-reliance in him at such a young age will have profoundly positive effects on the rest of his life. Wish my old man taught me like that!

[EDINBURGSTAR]

That little one is a future bushcraft guru.  Thanks

[JimboJitsu]

fun times, what was the tinder bundle you used?

[astrialkil]

@JimboJitsu It looked like cattail fluff to me, or maybe milk weed.

[sugerbear520]

[SoldierMonkey1]

I don't mean to knock your fire making skills, you are obviously well practiced; but watching the Little Guy light it up ... way more fun!

Thanks for showing this important bushcraft skill, taking our families out to experience it with us.

[hinckleypoland]

You too were super excited when Jr. lit the cotton. Awesome stuff PR.
