Building a Fire with Flint and Magnesium

[1960markN]

a better way to use that tool is to HOLD it near the magnesium shavings with your knife pressing down, and PULL the Flint thing AWAY from the tinder. This way you will not scatter everything when your knife accidently hits the tinder pile

[acmadsen]

you suck lol.

[1960markN]

What would McGyver do?

[SuperRandomdude12]

@1960markN make an explosive microwave?

[airbullet10]

Ass hole

pussy gettin al tired and crap

[itachi26395]

not even real forest if u look wen he crosse property line u can see a house and its not bad ass u wanna do somtin badass do wat i did light a fkin gallon of gass on fire and watch wat happens (u most likely get burned like me but its not that bad if u stand far from wer u lite it

[ochgottnochma]

you must be the son of mac gyver. xD

[markkim1010]

first and foremost, shave a "quarter" size shavings of mag, then just slide on the flint(don't strike), that is all, you made it much harder then what it is.

[m2me1952]

I liked it!!! I can never get magnesium to burn, and you did. I'm trying again today. Thanks for the insight.  Matt from Minnesota

[SNUZZLETHAT]

Assuming you are about 26, I am roughly half your age and am probably way more efficient in fire making and many other survival skills.

[peeweejj]

At least he's got a damn good reason for making the video

[xyoukilled]

this dudes high as hell

[brucemcmurtrie]

An entertaining video. Using the tool is harder than it first looks. Some hints: Put the magnesium on a hard surface and scrap down hard, that way you do not have to fight the force of the knife. Hold the knife at 90 degrees tot the magnesium surface whilst scraping. When using the flint hold the knife steady just over the magnesium shaving pile and draw the flint upwards against the knife blade therefore directing all the sparks towards the magnesium pile.

[ScarFace9797]

is he serious a wise man once told me get enough fire wood to last the night them times it by 10. No one ever told you that Les stroud said that you dip shit. And no its the flint that makes the spark. at 6:20 you can see his hair is pushed up cause hes frustrated. Man this video is so stupid. Please don't this is going to be another embarrassment. Next tome listen to your Dad.

[cobhcdr]

@ScarFace9797 wow what a dick, this video was pretty informative.

[ScarFace9797]

@cobhcdr listen this video isn't informative at all i can make a fire with a Mag stick in like half a minute. I think this is a joke so don't reply to someones comments if it has nothing to do with you.

[cobhcdr]

@ScarFace9797 you wanna FIGHT?

[ScarFace9797]

@cobhcdr haha lol?? Are you serious? You can tell this video is stupid especially when his Dad is telling him this is going to be ANOTHER EMBARRASSMENT!! its his own Dad bro.

[ScarFace9797]

is he serious a wise man once told me get enough fire wood to last the night them times it by 10. No one ever told you that Les stroud said that you dip shit.

[ScarFace9797]

All i'm going to use is my magnesium flint tool, a knife and whatever i can find in the back. Here we can see dry grass and a lighter.

[nanakeyks]

This guy talks like dolph lundgen from universal soldier wtf?

[ivandragon9]

YEAH I HAVE THE SAME MAGNISIUM FOR ME IT WAS LIKE 7 OR 8 BUCKS



[MCDEVVOMAN]

i love this guy hahahaha!!! he makes every little thing sound dangerous.. oh look a tree.. i was nearly killed by one before.. haahaha

[samstterhamstteer]

listen from 8:50 to 9:00 lollll!!!!!!!! i bet everyone missed that one

[samstterhamstteer]

it took you this long..collect the magnesium first on a leaf or piece of paper enough to fill a tea size spoon, and keep the stick faced straight againts the floor and scrape downwards with the backside of the knife and put what you collected under the leaves and branches then ignite

[jacob67854]

u r gay

[duffyg420]

yqAJGe

[bsheller]

Get to the fucking point

[alanrobbo]

DONT GIVE UP THE DAY JOB AT MC DONNALDS

[cobhcdr]

@alanrobbo LOL you can't even spell McDonalds you fucking retard.

[cas123321]

screw this dumb shit. oh and boy scouts are gay

[spamllpitdept]

Nice way to ruin a good knife

[Jester995]

Bear Grylls is a fucking fraud.

[jamesjernigan1]

YA i saw tellphoone poles in the backround in one of his episodes

survivor man is bye himself and if he gets hurt he might die

[Jester995]

If the people who thumbed me down don't belive he is a fraud go search up the video "Bear Grylls is a Phony". This stupid dramatic jump he does in that video is hilarious so is the music.

[Matthew2649]

thats correct

[pingchandlerpong]

dramatic

[Yutsoku]

Fan of the Les Stroud quotes I take it? :P

[gemini451960]

Come on, I know a boy scout when I see one. (Probably Eagle at that!) That was great !

[xx1madawgxx3]

no actually. my first question was... does this kid ride the rock/?

[lionkid05]

u beter have peen fucking joking u prik

[fuckuewetube]

Stupid video. Where's your video on smoking cock?

[Kazzz56]

Hahahaahahahaa "have i been back there? just once. Did i survive? just barely..." NO SHIT LOL you funny as

[okman4ever]

thank you for not giving up.

[doublesides86]

this wood i will not use LOL

[chodefaceMike]

a wise man my asss les stroud said that HAHAHAA

[blakeandneko]

birch can light even when wet, thats how good it is.

[boredgamesguy]

Nice work. Im so glad to see there are other peeps out there who are as bored as I am. Seen all the survivormans and working thru man vs. wild. You should check out the Bushcraft videos on here too, if you digg survival stuff you would like that guy...

[georgeolik]

nice video

[borderraven]

I put the scraper or knife blade to the flint and pull the flint up. This way, sparks are directed to the magnesium pile. Avoid cutting yourself.

[squirts1]

what a tool...

[broadwaybaby93]

hahahahahha

Hatchet (the book) is good....

that was random. ur cool

[ERCCRE123]

'oh please dont put it on a website'

ROFLOL

[miguelsotoseudonimo]

Poor. Watch Owen (11 y/o?) doing this in no-time. watch?v=Vz2Xey5ssVc

[monkeyboy4746]

Did I really hear him say that the trees were exfoliating?

[DeathsHeadWhitePower]

Dude you are good for TV shows hahaha

[ROFLpwnedvideos]

My survival kit has strike anywhere matches, lighter, one of the flint-magnesium rods you had AND I have 550 chord that I could use for a bow drill.

I'm covered on the fire front.

[nonstoperosion]

i loved the line "this wood i will not use" sooo dramatic and r those cuts real

[13pianist13]

nice job Lewis and Clark

[lilperch64]

you fuckin made the fire on top of wood

[deljugo]

haha the dad was funny

[twistedbrowneyes]

You fail.

[oobergooberkc]

lol frickin hillariously dramatic. i love the 'had to do something badass' part. perfect intro, got me hooked. rock on dude

[bestSVMS]

i have heard it to be 3-5 times bigger than you think

not 10 times

[BaconBeast11]

I did this outside but i put the fire in two cinderblocks, and it made this big black smoke and some peaple cruising by thought there was a fire.XD

[dukcaboose]

the amount of mag. shaves that you used can light like 5 more fires...but since its ur first time..i guess its good

[chrissept21]

its five times bigger you dink

[Avenged727]

ive got the same thing and it takes forever to get a fire!

[kirbyboy75]

check my vid and u have to spark it closer

[lemuelbecc]

Man, you are so cool.

[zooby1]

HAHAHAHAHA, thats why the match stick was invented..... and if not, ffs use some dry grass to get it gowing first then use some kindling.

[imafreak4xbox360]

bear grylls rocks

[poolattendant]

how much of a fraud can Bear Grylls be? He obviously builds a shelter(I'm assuming he stays in it) He eats grubs and crap. And he drinks by squeezing water out of poo. If he is a fraud (which he's not) then he's going to a lot of trouble to do so.

Interesting vid BTW Kudos! I found that a kleenex works well as your initial tinder.

[penutbutrmonky96]

bear grylls is a fraud. his show admitted to building his shelter for him. that means hes not alone

[titus2013]

its make it 5x bigger not 10.....

[dragoprince89]

dude u need to get a dry leaf and then press the magnesuim tool on it and then scrape to keep it still and then u put the magnesium in a little pile u put the tool directly on the little chavings then boom

[AARlayOwenBloom]

every single man vs wild? ohh i like this guy!

[AARlayOwenBloom]

BEAR GRYLLS ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[rezzoro]

you should have just threw in the whole chunk of magnesium to save from injury

[janniq1]

How long did you scrape to get so much magnesium shavings?

[pharris03]

Greatest youtube video ever. 5*

[ZZOTH]

next time collect the shavings on a green leaf, cup the leaf so the shavings fall in a little pile. then transport them into the tinder, then ignite. p.s. bear grylls is a fraud, les stroud is a true survivalist pimp.

[AARlayOwenBloom]

fraud or not he deserves a "WHOOOHOOOO"

[RyaSte12]

Its not more magneisam im 13 wanna join scots so i do :P you need to do it harder agianst the flint with knife

[byndthethrshhld]

hilarious

[hipelephant]

Yay!

[Runescape1567]

well i guess hes never heard of a lighter

[Blue24U]

That was funny, entertaining, and i learned to build a fire.

[yoronfire]

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaay

[dankbong]

wow

i just wanna say that my whole 1st hour chemistry class watched this this morning on the big projector

wow

[ArmsMinDeDingDon]

wow that took long enough

[spyromo4]

omg fialiny i foud a vado like this please!!!!!!!!!!!!! tell me 1 rock is finlt the other is somthing else please help

[aculite6of6satan6]

WOW ur...pretty bad first dont use the blade of ur knife the bk works just as good...in the bush ud be dead if u were doin it that long oh and old mans beard (it grows on spruce trees works wayyy better then birch)

[jedgamil]

where do u get the flint PLEASE ANSWER

[Mastershake845]

EMS

[hipelephant]

You can get a small "flint and steel" set at "millets" for £7 i think it was

[davidintexas2008]

haha. he didn't answer

[survivormanjr1]

@jedgamil walmart or an outdoors place



[timaaaa34]

too much talk more with the fire making now do it now

[coldarcayne]

omg

[bobanator3000]

how much was the flint??? plzzz answer

[Mastershake845]

i think like eight bucks or something.

[speller5cramit]

im watchin this and what i gotta say is GET ON WITH IT

u talk way too much

[joeymmeezz]

you talk to much

[2453dee]

dude you gotta aim the knife downward for the spark to go down!

[kubah88]

You fucking suck, How could you not do it the first time, your dad was right, its just another embarrassment. Try using steal wool and a nine volt if you can't manage a stupid flint rock.

[addman10]

it wasnt the point that there wernt enough mag shavings he shoulda held the flint closer

[roloss]

Use another tool of your swiss army knife the blade must to be sharpen always....

[roloss]

Use another tool of your swiss knife because the knife needs to be sharpen always.....

[roloss]

If you use the back of the swiss be careful because they do not have lock.

Or use another tool of your swiss, because the blade needs to be sharpen always ....

[n8doggystyle]

yup u made a fire so ur a B.A. lol

[JQ10KA]

Had me worried when he said "Before I start making the fire, I want to show you my tool."

[SilverMatchCo]

he should of put the flint closer to the shavings it would have worked better the first time!!!

[nelsonx1234]

You're my hero :D

[JackLacka]

why wouldn't granite work. it is harder than flint and i'm thinking would make a bit more friction!

[gokin]

gotta love the final fantasy level up music when the fire starts

[canibusemaculusyeah]

are you serious you never made a fire

[nickynwong]

It would be more advisable to use the back of the saw or awl to scrape the mag and ferrocium rod. You mistook it as flint - that is a different thing altogether. Only in flint does small pieces of the metal come off. The one your using its the rod that breaks off.

[10trev10]

what a douche bag i mean seriously what a fag u look like a regirgitated piece of shit not to mention the gayest piece of ass ears seriosly look at those things who are u will smith?

[scolex7]

its funny.. thanks...

[firewalker117]

i know that you must not live to far down south running in the woods with that shirt on i dont know about other people but mosquitos are very annoying and sometimes demonic...

[RodrigoVanilla93]

try using some other hard metal object to strike your flint, cos by using ur swiss army knife, the blade will get ruined.

[rhjglk]

i threw a the instructions yah,im pritty badass

[ownag3r]

haha dude i laughed my ass off

comedy ftw

[KHRaccoon]

fires pollute the ozone layer tho.

[carps02]

this is so legit. balls to the wall extreme man. i almost went double digits in my pants when watching this (rubs stomach and whines)

[Wiggs13811]

Hey for a first day it was ok my first fire was just like that was not sure what i was doing wrong it ended up being not enough MAG.+the wrong tinder

[golfingpro599]

lol i agree, you dont put it on the leaf anyways you put the shavings on a flat surface like a piece of bark then you put the flint side right next to it also on the bark then put the knife on the flint and well, yea awsome first try tho =)

[dxgmaster]

you were striking the flint wrong

if you stiked it right you woulndt have need all that magnesuim

[BrunoQAZ]

you are stupid

[snackiecakesxd]

are you the mastershake from xbox live, because if you are then you must know ice killer or blazey61 lolz

[InfluxUK]

that was a complete bore

there's thousands of ways to start a fire, it's not like everyone carries a bar of magnesium with them all the time

[airhockeychamp1]

dude put the bar against the ground at a 45 degree angle, then scrape the magnesium at same with striking the flint

[slashjr1992]

dude use the back of the blade to strike the flint it works alot better and its easier

[Denis543]

dude your a rokkie i can get it started on the first try

[Mastershake845]

not really sure what a rokkie is.... but thanks!

[jnvhbcj]

he means your like rocky balboa cause u keep trying!

[awesome321123]

i think he means a rookie not rokkie

[theglus]

thanks for posting this despite wat ur dad said

[sk8boardhugger]

how the heck did u cut your leg?.....

[Mastershake845]

the bugs were pretty crazy and i kept swatting at them. one time... i swatted with the wrong hand.

[markjjustiniano]

wow that was long.
