Starting a Fire with Everything All Wet Materials

http://survivethewild.us/ - This is a video response to Dave Canterbury's videos about how to start fire with all wet material. I preface the video saying that I mean no disrespect, I'm just answering a question he wasn't asked yet.

Basically, I'm showing if everything, even your tinder, was soaked howto get flame and keep your fire going. There are other ways ( which I may show in future videos ), but this is one way. It is also a metal exercise in staying calm and taking your time when you must get it right and can't waste valuable time or materials.

Hope everyone tries this at home!

- Joe

Ok joe i no drying what you can is common scence but here is the thing if it is a complete downpoor you cant dry anything your whole body is soaked no hiding in your shirt etc... what im saying is all these arguments are a waste of time survival is about doing what you can when you can if you cant whats your next best option??? and thats why you should always keep a fire starter and cotton balls in a old pill bottle in your coat....

@speedracer6985 Search youtube for this "Fire with Wet Birch Bark and Firesteel". But the point really is to think and improvise when you don't have your coat ;) You need to try different these all the time and understand the physics.

Now that my friend, was a piece of knowledge worth acquiring. I reckon we all should try that one at least once. Superb!!

@stopcraponutube Yeah because of all the survivors in an airplane crashes...

[SilentWolf1966]

Not much diffrent from what Dave did you dried it only difrence its dry no matter how you look at it its dry.You can always find dry ttinder if you know where to look.Never have not found dry tinder yet even in pouring rain.Not bad though.

[stopcraponutube]

Seriously, this should be shown as an in-flight movie on aircraft just incase...

[1969jmac]

The title is misleading. when you started the fire everything was NOT all wet. You spent considerable time drying things out.
