Survival Skills: Fire Making in the Snow

Just making a fire in snowy conditions. Not the best video but still get the point of needing dry materials.

I love how even being sick won't keep people from doing what they love to do. Get well soon!

[PittRules55]

@TheCanadianKnifeGuru Thanks.

That knife seems like it's either not sharp enough or too light. Probably too light. But for $10, it seems like a decent knife. You might get better results if you start off with smaller pieces of wood with sharp edges so they'll catch fire easily. I don't know. I don't know, I don't have much experience in that.

It's good to see you're making video's again.

@richardah1 its not really reliable it the handle broke.

I only use birch bark for tinder in norway as i find it to be the best natural resource for making a fire. If you have birch bark where you are at i recommend it, it works even if relatively wet. Some more strikes on the ferrorod but it wont dissapoint, also THATS a sustainable fire. Whatever a sustainable fire would be ;) cheers.

Try to split some of that wood you split into smaller pieces, branches may be unpredictable. I just came back from a trip, and we made fire in first attempt using dead wood we collected , it was already dark when we arrived at the place so fumbling in the forrest after deadwood kinda cool if you ask me. I bring a bacho laplander saw and my bk2.

why not just snap that puny branch with your hands? It's not thick at all.

Why was your kindling under the flame? You should have put some of the twigs on top!

nice vid what did u use to edit/cut time?

[richardah1]

@PittRules55 Well, that sucks. I guess that rattling sound was a hint it wouldn't last. I think you said it was stainless steel so it may just have been too soft or maybe too brittle. I have an old Buck fixed blade and the cutting edge bent a little when I was delimbing a branch. I wasn't even hitting that hard. It was stainless steel too. I think the model was Buck 119.
