How to Start a Fire - Bushcraft Basics

[AirsoftCentralTV]

What lighter is that?

[NaturalBushcraft]

@AirsoftCentralTV "The PB-207 'BLUE FLAME' Pocket Micro Torch" it's a good one :)

This was so much better then watching some goon run around and drink his own urine.

Tesco Value, Lol!

I appreciate how you police after yourself and limit the size of fires to cooking requirments.

[darkskilling]

great vid, but one question: what if you don'T have a lighter / matches? XD

[darkskilling]

@darkskilling or actually I probably just don'T get correctly what bushcraft is :p

[notyranny1]

Very well done.

[NorwegianKnifeDude]

what do you do if everything's wet?

[NaturalBushcraft]

@NorwegianKnifeDude Easy, you make Feather-sticks! Search for our video on "Making a feather stick" - This will help you find dry wood, kindling & tinder in wet conditions. Of course find whatever natural-shelter you can whilst you make your feathersticks :) All the best,

Ashley Cawley.

Just had to come back and watch it again, really good video bud! I'm just curious though what boots are they you're wearing. Just looking about at the moment for a good pair for this Winter :) Wulamallessin!

[NaturalBushcraft]

@CiaranRooney125 Para-boots bud :)

[CiaranRooney125]

@NaturalBushcraft Ahh sweet, Thanks Ashley!

[dragonflyhiker]

[Naturliebe]

Great Video. Very nicely explained.

Greetings Tito

[alucardkrk]

nice vid guys!

[nathanshepherd1]

Very well done. Very simple style of video that makes it easy to follow and learn from. If this video helps just a few people get out and enjoy a fire in the woods then it will have been a great success. More videos in this style please.

Nathan.

[NaturalBushcraft]

[WesternBushcraft]

[dclement7]

Great video Ashley looks like the Kent country side I love this little corner of our country where did you film it?

[NaturalBushcraft]

@38MarcW It's in Cornwall, UK :)

[Conceptskatemedia]

Fantastic!

[Solanum20]

Great Vid., Ashley! Promoting respect of the land we have available to us is always a cause well worth educating others over.

Nice video, great info. Take care.

[MrHatManS]

Shweet vid dude, nice amount of effort shown in all your parts of constructing and deconstructing a basic fire, pleasure to watch.

[NaturalBushcraft]

@MrHatManS Thanks bud :)

[mrmazmann]

Great video as always! Can't wait for the next one!

[HalfQ]

Good starter vid vid for learners dude. Well put together. If they start there they will not go far wrong :)

[NOLA556]

I recently started a fire with nothing but fat pine shavings and a flint steel for the first time and naturalbushcraft was my motivation to try it. thanks guys! great videos!

[NaturalBushcraft]

@NOLA556 Wow! That's great to hear bud, well done :)

[bushcraftourway]

natural bushcraft videos take me WAY back :)

[CiaranRooney125]

Man i remember my first day trying to light a Fire back in Nov 2010! I had a lighter, a roll of toilet roll, Fire lighters and the forest was completely dry and i failed miserable xD How times have changed, i can get a Fire going now with just Flint & Steel with Amadou :) Really enjoyed that Ashely! Really respect you for showing people that we need to care,honour,love & look after the area we light our Fire in!

[gaiagale]

well done! ...especially the part where you spread the ashes with your hands ...if one can handle the ashes with bare hands then the carbon bits are definitely cool enough to be re-introduced back to the land

thanks for sharing this basic yet thorough demonstration of Bushcraft technique

respect

[hobbexp]

Another great vid, Ashley! Always makes my day to see a NB video. I like how you also stress the responsibilities of fire making. Too many wildfires occur here in Idaho from irresponsible fire lighting. Question: what kind of rucksack are you using in this video? Keep up the fantastic work! Cheers!

[NaturalBushcraft]

@antpop1 Thanks bud, that means a lot :)

We're lucky here in the UK that we don't have problems with wildfires much at all, mostly due to the climate.

The Rucksack is a "Pro Force Trooper 45" if you search YouTube for that you will find me doing a full review of it! :) all the best,

Ashley.

[mattdoughty1]

great video ashley

[benbushcraft]

Good tutorial! From the start until the end. No traces. Take care, Benedikt

[AwakenedBuddhist]

Awesome video.



[RuralSurvival]

Great video Ash!

Do you mind if we do a video response of how to cook on a open fire?

[NaturalBushcraft]

@RuralSurvival No, absolutely, feel free! :)

[RuralSurvival]

@NaturalBushcraft

Thanks!

[Davidbirtles1]

This is a very good video. Simple and straight to the point, which I like and appreciate. I see to many videos where people never consider the post-fire clean up, and I like the respect you give to the landscape, my local hills are scarred by old fire pits that haven't been looked after or well maintained. Keep these videos up. If you don't mind me asking where about do you film these?

Peace. Dave.

[NaturalBushcraft]

@Davidbirtles1 Hi Dave, thank you very much for your kind comments, greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately this is the one site where the land-owner has asked me to keep the location secret. Any other of my filming locations I could have told you! Generally speaking I do all of my filming in Cornwall, UK some are shot up on Dartmoor. There are a couple of woodlands local to me St Mawgan / St Columb areas where I have filmed before. All the best,

Ashley Cawley.

[Waldhandwerk]

Good lesson, thanks for showing. Happy Weekend, Sepp

[PaganGlade]

Great video :) Thanks for all you do in sharing your craft! Much love and peace to you guys at Natural Bushcraft ~PG~

[NaturalBushcraft]

@PaganGlade Thanks <3

[jimmyisikura]

Very accurate and well put together information, you are a great service to the bushcraft community

[NaturalBushcraft]

@jimmyisikura Thanks bud, that means a lot. We have actually had quite a few youngsters joining our community forum as of late and I thought it'd be good to go back to basics, it's always good to do this for new people to this hobby also.

Glad to share it with the world, Oll an Gwella,

Ashley Cawley.
