  • some 1 correct me this teacher at skool say you have to keep doing tht for a half hour yes/no

  • I just showed that you only need to do it for about 30 seconds!

  • nice vid

  • Thanks!

  • did you have cotton balls in that bundle of tinder?

  • Yeah I had a tiny bit of cotton just on top as a coal extender because the yucca fibers are too coarse to hold an ember because it just falls through the bundle and I didn't have any other materials to hand!

  • Then ignition material you're using is quite moist! Dry it in an oven at 200 degrees F, then store it in sealed containers, such as tins or plastic bags.

    Good demo!

  • at 2:13 you can hear the fire say something

  • well done!

  • doing that on a woo deck thats real smart :)

  • Great video - you're a good scout - BP!

  • When your blowing on your bundle you want to blow from the underneath it causes more of a draft and I just works better

  • @ahwolfdog I know right! But I can't do anything about it.
