  • what was that brown stuff you ignited at the beginning? can you do it without it as well?

  • @NorwegianKnifeDude I used char cloth. I can light fires without it but it takes a bit more work. Good idea for a new video.

  • Hi, I just had a question: is firemaking in the woods allowed in the UK? In Belgium, the country where I live, it's not allowed. Hope you answer.

    Grtz, mandgsurvival

  • @mandgsurvival

    Fires are not allowed in UK woodlands with out the consent of the land owner.

    I find it hard to understand why people cant just do this stuff for fun. Im not a paranoid survivalist.

  • I love the guys who diss videos like this because they brought something with them. It's not a black or white world. Your skills develop along a continuum; you don't just wake up one day being a self sufficient bushman. These guys will not be satisfied until you walk naked into the woods and build yourself a Ritz Carlton with your bare hands, LOL.

  • is there a fucking war going on in the background lol?

  • very fine grass will work BETTER than char cloth w/ firesteel

  • what type of wood are you using for bed and twigs and what alternative tree for the tinder nest could i find

  • whats up with the bangin eh

  • the editing of this guy's videos is distracting

  • I have found drying things out in my pockets as i travle works well also and to find it dry under logs sloping trees ect all good places for dry tinder.Charcloth helps though...

  • Good music. Eddie Vedder +1

  • "Preparation"

  • You have the look of a man who has spent along time alone in forests.

  • nice video, and nice song..

    thanks.
