[CiaranRooney125]

Very helpfull tips on the tinder bundle Ashley! I have a terrible habit in the beggining that i blow way way way too hard breaking up the charcloth and the ember xD Thanks a ton :)

It was really pleasant to see someone who is indefinitely a more experienced outdoorsman than I have trouble with starting a fire. I say this not out of spite but out of relief. I'll try a new method of fire starting and when I fail, I immediately start to ponder on what I did or could have done wrong. Some times things don't work the first time!

I recently found Natural Bushcraft and am quite grateful for the instruction I've learned.

Much thanks gents! Please, keep them coming!

@caseybcrocker I absolutely know what you mean, I remember when I was learning various fire lighting techniques you'd look to other resources be it books or videos for help on technique and when it didn't work you could feel disappointed and doubt your every move. Everyone fails sometimes (it's only natural) the thing is with something like Video a lot of the time you only see the edited version where it worked first time to keep the audience interested.

[caseybcrocker]

@NaturalBushcraft Precisely. Much thanks sir. May God bless you and yours.

@NaturalBushcraft I had some problem with that before i used aluminium foile and acctualy cotton becuse cotton burns so fast normaly that its hard to get a fire started before it burns down but be aware of that the smoke cooming out is poisonus bi gas its called in swedish but i dont know the english word if you do it inside in a fireplace it might be dangerus. i know that you probably know this but you didnt say it in the vid great vid btw =)

[Subvert1024]

Does this work better than dryer lint? That what I use and I've never had any complaints. Interesting video

[weerobot]

Another great video.

[Joker0316]

Just a quick tip... I use 100% cotton T-shirts and it works great

[garythesaint44]

hahahahahahaha, point taken, as said, was an informative video but the gum was not.

[garythesaint44]

good informative video, but lose the chewing gum next time;)

[NaturalBushcraft]

@garythesaint44 I'm sorry Gary, would you like your money back?

[NancyToday]

That was AWESOME! I'm gona get some old bluejeans and make some of this! My tipi campfires will NEVER be the same! Thanks tonnes!

[NaturalBushcraft]

@NancyToday I'm glad :D

It might be worth noting that recently I had trouble with making charcloth from jean-denim, I couldn't understand it at first but Justin told me that in some Jeans they have started to use fire-retardent in them and it dosen't make good Charcloth.You can always try denim, or alternatively I've started using cheap kitchen towels. If you want any further info there is an article about making Charcloth on our website, All the best

@zealiscool It is an old, tried & tested method, which made life a lot easier when you had to make a fire from a spark, but us Bushcrafters still use it regularly today. :)

[DPur3B]

Hey youre really a proffesional in being a guide :D thanks i subbed already

[KunaiKnight]

very cool thanks for messaging me about your channel i'm gonna subscribe

[liverpoolsniper]

i know you can do it that way but i got tought that if you get a piece of cloth and burn it normal till it burns out then it can work that way and it worked loads for me and i havent tried that for ages tried it like yesterday and it doesnt work no more am just wondering why! lol ? but anyways mate Great vid loved it

[NaturalBushcraft]

It'll be differences in the material your burning.

[liverpoolsniper]

oh will it thats why then lol thanks m8 :)

liked tha video nice one! :)

[r4nger5tube]

Seconded - I particulalry like the way you kept in the first unsuccessful attempt - very nice touch for us beginners out there!!

Thanks very much for taking the time, man - good series - please keep it up!

[kvn1201]

Cool video. awesome choice of song at the end too.

[NaturalBushcraft]

Thanks bud, appreciate that :)

[Kris35Productions]

what kind of matrial is the unburned charcolth made of???????? please respond

[NaturalBushcraft]

As said in the video numerous times; Denim. You should try listening before asking. If you don't know what Denim is it's cotton.

[Kris35Productions]

well as you could have known im from holland and no whe don't speak english so yeah i don't know what denim was anyway thanks for responding

[rickypz2]

Well basicly any organic material that is non synthethic. In the past there were some regions that had no access to cotton, so they used materials sometimes as things as fungi, if its organic most probably it will char. the prosses for charring is called pyrolysis.

[sueycidal93]

5/5!

[canadianbushman]

I realy like that you didnt edit out the first attempt, I know from experience that it doesn't always work on the first try. And people who try to get into the hobby of bushcraft sometimes get discouraged with the slightest failure. To keep trying is the best advise. I think it is an honorable thing you have done by showing the first fail, and letting others know what the problems can be so they will keep trying.

Make more vids. I like your style.

[filbertten]

Great Video!!!!

TY
