bushcraft survival tarp shelter with fire

[HomeMadeGunNut]

The smoke from the fire is kind of magical on a cold night.

[NolikargAven]

hey a have a few questions. whats that thing he uses to light it up?? he gets it from a small bag or something...and that other thing he does the fire really quick...in the start... whats that???he rubs that into other thing... please answer!!

[BestKeptSecretCrew]

This guys gonna have a sore back in the morning if hes sleeping in that hammock...

[rbxtreme96]

@BestKeptSecretCrew nope, hammocks are far more comfortable than sleeping on the ground

[Brasso182]

@AsTheSunSets777 you can get flints off ebay , dirt cheap, just type in fire steel..

[VinVilhjalmsson]

Not really related to the video this one, but have you ever used pine resin for water proofing?

[kandiamo]

What's to keep the ground cover from becoming a brush fire?

[sandymilne1]

dont smuther the fire

[YoYoPie304]

WTF is that noise in the background, around 2:40?

[nolimit67901]

lol @ 2:15 he wanders off to take a leak :)~

[prostijn]

if it was not dry outside than you have no fire you are bad

[JEHIAHL]

what a fire beastly fire sparker. Nice job. 5/5

[Oksendal5]

How far should the fire be from the tarp to prevent the tarp from being damaged? Does the distance depend on the woods being burn?

Thanks for your time.

yours Paul.

[colorblind99]

Right, once you got woke up you would be toast.

[jimmyk1love]

It's actually heat, OXYGEN, and fuel that one needs

[VinVilhjalmsson]

@jimmyk1love Actually you can make a fire with Chlorine and sulphur devoid of OXYGEN. When you start a sentence with actually your only one step away from another guy laying an actually on you. Unless of course your Brian Cox or another Physicist. In my opinion these guys are the only ones I would trust to lead a sentence with actually....OF course in the future they too will look stupid as another Einstein rewrites their work.

[sandrifter]

And the fire makes you tea......super indeed, but I'd like it more if my fire made Jack Daniels :)

[devinmuslim1]

only white men make fires for everyone to see. your fire has too much smoke.

[sherman546]

@devinmuslim1 Why dont you make a fire and video it to show us how it's done. Oh wait, are you black? Forget it.

[motorscustom]

buen video (very good)

[goldenscales]

Red man build small fire, cook food and stay warm. White man build big fire, go hungry and stay warm running for firewood! Lol!

[dshdestoyer]

u killed the fire



[kebabs19]

so when the rain comes in at an angle, or there is wind, this guy is fucked

[Spikestrip55]

@kebabs19 He appears to be able to reconfigure pretty quickly...

[sasop117]

Sticks as a base!! Never thought of that, thanks!

[Selousi]

Very good tutorial.

Brief and to the point!

[thedeathbychoclate]

what do you use to light your fire?

[Spikestrip55]

@thedeathbychoclate It's a Firesteel. Ebay or google it on where to buy.

[bennyboyshaw]

Nice fire.

Doesn't that hammock set up ache your back at that angle?? Or is that your preference??

[HammockerSam]

@bennyboyshaw Exactly what I was thinking. I have been taught to keep it as tight as possible. Maybe it's being used more as a seat at the moment than a bed

[bennyboyshaw]

@HammockerSam Each to their own I guess.. I prefer tight for a whole night out though.

[Reallybigmonkey1]

@bennyboyshaw I see what you mean, I would have wanted two trees spread further apart so I could strech out the hammock

[MyJogger]

Enjoyed this one.

Keep em coming.

[Cannonbo]

you recognise a master when what he does seems soooo easy :-)

[bizzarrogeorge]

Hah! "You can now relax, while the fire makes you tea!"  Good stuff!

[RavenBlaze]

that must have been really dry tinder, it caught without blowing

[mountainman1996]

dude if i was to be judgemental i would then say you were a bushcraft master! haha amazing vid 5/5

[jtdrummer2112]

Maybe it was the Blair Witch

[swissenkaka]

thanks!!!!

[chefslot]

Hi man, good video's, could you tell me the make and name of hammock please.

Dude he's welsh there's no coyates in wales, lol.

[jpomatto13]

No fluff in this presentation. You get that fire going well and fast. Great job 5/5

[francescaloves2hike]

Chipbeats82: Those were coyotes, my friend. Or...kids. I'm not sure which...

[fxdrdnme]

Kids definently. There wasnt any yipp or howl. Believe me i hunt them....

[chipbeats82]

why are there cackling ghosts at 2:30.. creepy

[kamiel001]

you realy should consider changing the title into " how to make some useless smoke"

[1ZacMac]

@kamiel001 ...guess you didn't watch the whole video

[kamiel001]

i'm the troll , you're right , i didn't whatch the whole vid. but i don't think that syntetic sleeping bags are safe when you make a fire next to it?

[chicago6584]

Cool video man. 5/5 cheers

[irishcowgirl77]

What a wonderful video!! Your great fire making skill literally made me laugh out loud! (Out of amazement to be sure!) I have trouble just lighting candles with a lighter... This makes me want to go practice my fire building!

[WEZO24522164]

maybe the camera angle.....the fire is not as close as you think.....dshrute13 is spot on any further away and you would not get heat

[kkiill90]

@WEZO24522164 The fire was a solid 1/2-1 yard away

[rhelte]

Fire near tarp? Good idea???

[dshrute13]

yes it is.. unless it is too close then obviously thats a bad idea. but you do need warmth when using only a tarp system to sleep.

[rhelte]

Well agree with you only if you use a cheap tarp, i wont risk to do that with a silnylon one, one turn with the wind and its a swiss chesse...

[sluglicker]

A roaring fire in 2 minutes! Excellent videos. Keep 'em coming and thanks!

[wewilhelm]

Excellent

[seabass410]

wow is that a fire lol

[dalilknifeguru]

more videos plz!!! i agree with idmak90 u have alot to teach

[ldmak90]

why no new videos? You obviously have MUCH to teach. Your vids are among the best I've ever seen.

[RonRay]

Excellent again!

5*****

[glazemeister]

your a pro

[heelyman101]

what tinder was used? im not good at using natural tinders :(

[WEZO24522164]

the tinder is birch bark

[HomeMadeGunNut]

@WEZO24522164 Went out and scouted around today and i have only found one birch tree and its protected by 3meters of thorns and nettles all the way around lol.

[hornstra1]

you' re a teacher or a taxman.

[fraud66]

Yeah, I know. I was just joking. I subscribed to his channel.

[fraud66]

Hey! Don't you know that you're not suppose to leave your fire unattended?!?

[Nate54567]

Hey! didnt u know that this guy is a great woodsman and knows what he's doing ?!?

[enda345]

GREAT vid

[Aligowers00]

ur videos are great next time im out and about ill make some vids of me and my friends using ur information and advice

5 stars once again :)

[hoosierarcher]

I didn't read all the comments but I have to say that if you wait until each layer of fuel from tinder to thinnest to thickest kindling was burning well you'd get less smoke. You just have to have a wee bit more patience. other ways great vid. 4 stars

[Nate54567]

smoke doesnt matter when ur in the woods. i find when ur in the woods its ur own little world and it doesnt matter if u get a bit dirty or a lil smokey.

[hoosierarcher]

I don't mind smelling like smoke but coughing is not one of my favorite things. Oh and there are times when smoke matters. Like I said before great vid.

[adventuresocal]

with my luck I'd roll off that Hamock and into my own fire...I don't like the elevated bedding so close to the flame.

[Kingmaconha]

dude i love your videos make more you have taught me alot

[homercalg]

Love these videos, I hope he posts more...Great job.

[normhaha]

i enjoy your videos, you're very knowledgeable

[jimmythecool911]

where in south wales is that? do u know dunvant by any chance?

[WEZO24522164]

is dunvant in Swansea i am more Cardiff way

[jimmythecool911]

OH MY GOD!! my dad has a house there and i lived the 4 a year, my cosins still do

[WEZO24522164]

i could see Cardiff from the top of the ridge...

[jramirez27]

@WEZO24522164 is that a opinel 12

[NaturesInstinct]

you are pro! great set up.

[bushcraftbaird112]

i think pine resin makes a great fire-starter. i used some the other day and it works brilliantly.

-thanks for the video

[jimmythecool911]

COOL WHERE ABOUTS IS THAT?

[WEZO24522164]

south wales

[fegman]

Just a quick question, on your tarp shelter, you have lashed a ridge pole of wood between the two trees; do you find that during heavy rain, that water is "conducted" through the tarp, to the ridge pole and that the tarp leaks because it is too tightly drawn out over the pole?

Great video though pal!

[WEZO24522164]

i have not used this tarp in really heavy rain but never had a tarp or poncho leek on me before because of a ridge pole

[bwhite53]

Whatever happened to the concept of clearing the flammable underbrush, and circling the firepit w/rocks for added safety before making a fire?

[martinaxman]

This is a great firebuilding tutoral, but I have to disagree. Your description stated that "this is me practicing shelter building" so pyrotech didn't deserve the beatdown. He's right about the fire. A first year scout knows *for safety*you clear the area around the firepit to avoid problems. You may get away with it provided you are attentive, but it's not worth the risk. I'm a ten year scout leader with a whole lot of experience, & we've never burnt a finger even with 20 kids running around.

[pyrotechnition38]

i think that this was a very good shelter building educational video but when builfing ur fire u shud clear off the surrounding ground because u wont b relaxing very long when ur whole camp is burning

[AKBOY92]

Wow, that wood was very dry. In alaska its always damp! I have a way harder time light'in my fires.

[shelbysguns]

thank you

[shelbysguns]

okay so your using the army model and you have filed a notch in the back of your carbon steel knife? right?

[WEZO24522164]

hold your knife as you would normally sharp edge facing down... then file the flat top edge horizontally....dont make any notches

[CreamPie9uy]

Awesome tip mate! Just tried it on my mora knife. Works a million times better than the metal dog tag type striker that came with the knife. I was amazed at the difference! Thanks.

[shelbysguns]

it cant be a regular fire steel is it

[WEZO24522164]

yes its a regular fire steel the secret to get good sparks is to file the back edge of your knife

[shelbysguns]

what flint is that it trows fireballs with your knife

[chrissept21]

its cuz its an opeinl knife its carbon and has a spine like a skate allmost its sharpon a 90 degrees

[dawnrun911]

You should go camping in the Thuringian Forest Germany, I go every year for a couple of weeks. I do not take much with me. It is best to pack light and hone your skills.

[RandomTask2008]

This is one American that enjoys watching your videos. I'm Scotch-Irish by the way. Give me BBC TV anyday I can't stand American TV. Don't pay any attention to these ignorant rabble! We Love our brothers and sister in the UK!

[WEZO24522164]

thank you very much fellow Celt

[chrissept21]

hahah i like you all ready great comment i too am the same way i like survivorman tho lol and its canadian

[KanoakaVirus]

supersexiboi dont forget who gave you country back, and remind me.. what languge do you speak? go eat some more mcdonalds and masturbate over jerry springer ya american retard,

[Scoobermabbz]

Typical Dick head american to get the Irish and the Welsh confused. Pussy english? Come to the UK and say that you litlle dick sucker!

[beast12101]

I enjoy your videos, and your attitude toward bushcraft, any chance you'll be out this winter making videos for winter camping

[WEZO24522164]

long term winter camp in the next week or two

[beast12101]

wonderful, Im looking forward to the them. My winter trip got pushed a week cause of avalanche danger, it should be colder next week, im going to try to take some video as well. thanks

[WEZO24522164]

actually i am welsh not Irish ....ask an adult to explain

[jackoadeetayo1]

there are some really spooky noises that start at 2:32 into the vid.

[Monst780]

Very nice looking but you wont be doing that on the west coast of North America where the wood is mostly cedar and sends crackling sparks all over the place, never mind the setup time, flat ground and two trees nice and close by in the right place.

[hornstra1]

a smokin' mikado!

[OhMightyDollar]

what are the 2 sticks he's using to ignite the fire?

[flamefinger1989]

its a fire steel look them up

[chrissept21]

man you dont piss around do you?

[FriarTuck1961]

Super video!

I love to see a Master of Bushcraft at work.

Cymru am byth

[pwnstr08]

very nice your a real pro

[Colhane]

You're doing a great job with your videos, keep up the good work!

In Brazil we have two seasons for fire, its either tinderbox dry and you risk a forest fire just scuffing your feet on the ground, or its sopping wet and you can't get a fire going for the life of you.

Clearing the ground down to bare earth is very important for us in dry season. In the rainy season it isn't so critical but it does make it easier to remove all traces of the camp.

[wombatstew1]

Excellent! Perhaps you could touch on the vital importance of clearing a fire-proof base so you don't start a forest fire, and explain the flint and steel you used for the ignition.

[Knapping4Fun]

Many Thanks!

Straight to the point.

A master at work.

[nokinja]

I'd recommend anyone doing this to clear the ground around your fire before you start. Or else you're looking at a possible forest fire, depending on the location.

[robinkoeman]

Great video! Can you make a video about your items/gear once please?

Anyway, you got another subscriber(!)

[jfizzle33]

great camping spot!!!

[Innoroth]

Great work, man. You really should do a series of videos on all survival matters. I would certainly watch them.

[mexicanohastalamadr3]

can you make a video of your knfe

[audiofreeq]

thanks Taff for a great & simple demo on fire lighting.looking forward to your next video.

[koolhorsegal45]

how about being on side that doesn't have smoke

[redbellyblackprod]

Excellent also, but I was always tought to clear the ground back to soil, I would suspect that once this fire burn't down the ground would light up? Perhaps I'm missing a point? look forward to more;o)

[hobbexp]

nice fire,, what is the name on the fire you make ???

[bushztick]

yeahh,, we like to see,, kit and knife,, :0)

[nezza33]

Hey mate think you can do a video on your kit?

[bushztick]

good,, thanks for show us how to make a good fire,, can you show your knife to?? in your next video??

[lusl1094]

Nice job building the fire.

[bricardiff1969]

nice one keep it up.
