Survival Skills: Firemaking, Southeast US by Nutnfancy

PART 1 OF 2:
A detailed fire making exercise in the Southeastern United States by Nutnfancy. Quite a different climate and foliage than the usual Nutnfancy Knife Clinic in the Rocky Mountains, this southern location provided an equally excellent location for wilderness craft. Tools used included the excellent, high value KaBar Heavy Bowie and Cold Steel Roach Belly knives, a Sawvivor backpacking saw, WD40, and a Light My Fire flint and steel. All came along and were used for demonstration purposes but not necessarily by necessity. The intent is to show viable backpacking fire tools that will get the job doneweight and compactness for carry purposes being important considerations. The secret time-saving weapon in this particular time-crunched clinic was one stick of fatwood, discussed in the video. Safety considerations, chopping, cutting, knife philosophy, and fire building techniques are necessarily discussed as the work progresses in this two-part series. If the response is good, I may do more wilderness skills videos but they might be few since they take a lot of work and are time-consuming.

@MrMegaQ

1) You can't dislike the video, because ratings are disabled - FAIL

2) He goes out on day long hiking trips up snow covered mountains, and he has the videos to prove it

3) If you took the time to see said videos, you would realize whatever it is you think you do that makes you better then him at survival situations or any other thing, your not better.

Oh wow and I just checked your channel and all you have are 2 call of duty videos, what a wana be you are

@TheOnetimeatbandcamp well can you chop a tree down with your hands?

[jgsnipe1]

i know that you are busy VERY BUSY actually but i would really like it if you could do somthing like this with the parang i think you willl be surprised by how great they work they might as well be the axe of the knife community but very heavy

[stusf12]

i liked this video, you should do more survival videos and videos in different parts of the US (if you have time)

[MedManTheBrave]

Hi Nutn. This was a first video i saw from your production. I was searching for a fire starting video. I have never seen anyone to use a WD40 in this way. Also the use of a knife to cutting fire wood was for me a interesting experiance. I was teached for this taskt to use a axe. But it seems like a good idea with the proper knife. Thank you for the efford. M. from Slovakia

Great video. Just going back through some vids of yours I have not watched. One idea if you will permit me. I'm a sharpener by hobby and sometimes trade. When I go out and do wood walks or nature hikes or want to test some surviving implements I like to bring 2 knives as one is all around utility the other big heavy duty work. You might want to look into putting a high bevel on your edge for chopping. It will keep the edge longer and 3 In One oil is what I use with my pocket whetstone. Thanks!
