Ferrocerium Rod Technique and Upside Down Fire for Wilderness Survival

[jimmyq33]

Hi Adam, sorry I know I am a little late to the party but can you tell me what that puff of smoke is about 2:42 into this video? :) Multiple takes or were you being sneaky with a prelight? Honest question slightly on topic, if I am have a BK2 do I need a Fallkniven too or is it just my hoarding nature that makes me think I should have one?

[WAFFLES081]

I actually like to use the bottom serration on my knife, since the spine for me doesnt work too well.

The bottom serration works really well also, since you can have like two contact points at once.

you shouldn't have to blow on the fire.....just saying

[Equip2Endure]

@kingtut1964 , yeah, we cooked dinner with that fire, and the wife wanted me to hurry up. ;)

Thanks for the Great Tip on using the "Pull Away"

to protect the tinder structure & to focusing the sparks on the target area ::)

[matt4270]

Great method! If you use this in a fireplace or wood stove, the hot teepee fire pre -warms the chimney so you get less smoke. Good if you're neighbors are whiny A-holes!

I like your videos bro you are very well versed in your techniques I am always learning from you and re-learning things forgot; you are "by the books"(Your Eagle Palms were most likely earned i am sure.) I use the self-fedding method only when its really wet because I like to have a little more control on how much coals i have and wood I use. Sometimes its hard to find dry wood in florida, lol. I gotta conserve! It is a great way to make a large campfire or extended use fire

[TheBluepaint]

nice...good job bro, not many have shown this or a self feeder. later

[leftie4all]

Are there situations where you would not choose to go for the upside down fire? And what to do then? How many types of fire are ther actualy? Great vid, thanks!

[marshall3win]

great vid adam! i was always told to start from the bottom and have the fire work up but you just proved everybody wrong!

[CdnLifeguard71]

Nice job. good instruction on proper use and I'm a big fan of the upside down fire.

[dirtbiker6794]

I've always been told that this type of fire was called a top burn

[Livingnthewoods41]

[MadSmokerBBQ]

[Tacticalgearhead]

Ah that's technique I've never seen done before, cool.

[EDINBURGSTAR]

Very good technique with the firesteel Thanks.

[ramsd1]

Adam, what is the benefit for an upside down fire vs. other methods. Thanks for the great vids.

[Equip2Endure]

@ramsd1 , it's a great fire that you can start and then walk away from and get other camp tasks done. It's low maintenance, and last for a good amount of time. Also, if your in a wet area, the bottom level will block a good amount of moisture from the ground, making fire construction easier.

[MrEhud77]

@ramsd1 It only took me trying it once...now it's the only way I'll light a dry fire

[ZombieTactics]

Few people ever show the straw technique ... nice to see you using it here. :-)
