[StickInc1]

i love your website!

[canteencorner]

@StickInc1 Thanks we appreciate that!

[Aidan8555]

when the log caught fire a little why did you continue blowing it? is it to keep the ember going??

[ExtremeJeffEnigma]

Is fire steel just a stick of steel? I think I've seen Bear Grylls use one before.

[canteencorner]

@ExtremeJeffEnigma It is a rod that is also called a Ferrosium rod, when you scrape it with a hard edge that is high carbon steel, there is a reaction that creates the sparks.

The rolling boil is more of a visual signal to let you know it's purified. You don't need to boil for several minutes (only @ altitude). Great videos though, keep'm coming mate : )

[KiltPatrick]

Would that trick work with a single, charred stick? Or do you need 2 charred pieces of wood for that to work?.

Neat stuff. Good work!

[Dancerpro1]

@KiltPatrick

You have to have the two. They feed off of each other building heat until, fire.

I have seen this vid four times and I am still amazed I love this video

[FridaySternShow]

nice work

[flipster12000]

U dull your knife if you keep striking that thing on the sharp side. lol

[canteencorner]

@flipster12000 Look closer my friend, I'm not striking it with the knife edge. The Fallkniven has a sharp edged spine made just for striking a firesteel. That is what I am using as a striker.

[cochiez]

awesome. well done.

[Manny4155]

Where can I get that firesteel?

[canteencorner]

@Manny4155 Hedgehog Leatherworks website.

[dubbedcrazy]

[jeepnicc]

[otter46544]

Great tip.  I like it.

[4770589]

what kind of wood is that?

[canteencorner]

I believe it is a piece of walnut, that is what I have the most of in the wood pile at the moment

[4770589]

ok cool thanks

[Spaceman7o]

dude i think you should do a Dakota fire pit big make a small hole where the wood will go and the place the cup on the soil.

[canteencorner]

Thanks - Dave is a good friend, when ever he asks me to come out I do my best to make it - it is a 4 hour drive to get out where he hangs in the woods, but it is always worth it.

[johnboyrebel27]

Great video Rob!!! I like that idea od fire starting, where I hike at there are alot of left over campfires so thats a good trick to know!!!
