Carrying Fire

How long can you keep the ember in there for?

[pitatapiu]

@everfish I suppose as long as you like, but make sure it has fuel obviously.

What kind of shoes are those? Did you make them? I was trying to find a simple shoe to make myself.

[pitatapiu]

@Adahy1 Yes I did make them, I had some scrap hide splits laying around when I was in Montana, so I put together a pair of woodland style moccasins. They've since been worn literally into the ground.

How long can you carry your ember using that method (bowl) ?

[pitatapiu]

as long as it has fuel. i often carry polypore fungus and put small pieces in to keep it going

[DIGITZOO]

[pitatapiu]

@draconis93 yes, I usually don't look to my pockets for survival tools though. Too much valuable materials outside my pockets.

[pitatapiu]

thanks :-) My friend made it for me

[aznkid648]

Thx... im making a bow drill right now.. but the problem is that there is snow outside, making everything wet. can i replace the dry grass, etc. for cotton? i heard cotton was highly flammable..

[pitatapiu]

yes, cotton will work. just dont use anything synthetic.

[aznkid648]

Ok thanks much!

[aznkid648]

where can i find tinder?

[pitatapiu]

dried grass, dried bark, shredded pine needles even.  anything fiberous and dry.

[stumptacular]

if your pottery seems a little fragile even though you fired it, you can add some "grog" by grinding some of a brick, or granules of previously fired pots that have broken ito the raw clay... look into it if you havent already... greatly strengthens clay

[bowcatz]

Show us more of what you do to survive in the wild. Did you make the bowl?

[pitatapiu]

Yes, I used clay found in my back yard actualy. It was almost a pure white clay too. I fired it a few times to get it to harden up to an aceptable level.

[stumptacular]

great debris hut owen, i would like to see more videos from you regarding your shelter...

dont stop there, show us the ember!

that hickory torch i was telling you about is another great way to carry the fire to and from camps... especially if you arer walking after dark ;)

[pitatapiu]

Well, since theres interest, I'll make a video of me using the method I talk about. I'll see if I can make a torch or two and demonstrate that to in another video. I my have to space it all out a bit. So much for only 10 minutes per video!

[stumptacular]

well dont stop there!!! show us!

hey owen, great debris hut bro...

[pitatapiu]

sorry if the sound and video arent synced up, I'm not sure whats wrong with it.
