  • what king of wood was that?

  • @gnomehater63 Random stuff from my yard, so probably some walnut, pecan, and maple.

  • nice method of making your fire but I think that your sweedish fire steel is the best but scriping it with a knife is not good because you might dill the blade and its not very good for the knife, Good Vid tho

  • I definitely agree, which is why I used the spine (back) of the knife.

  • Depends on what kind of wood you use and what you mean by staying lit. The one I built would probably have a flame coming off it for a good 30 minutes if I didn't add any more wood, plus it would smolder for a good while longer.

  • u shuld puy ur web address on the side as a hyper link...

    for lazy people like me ^^

  • Done :)

  • @goingprepared Some people would shoot you (not literally.. figuratively) for using that stuff just to burn. Lol.

  • No need to say sorry. Your the one teaching us

  • Get off the line, THERE'S A TRAIN COMIN' !

  • Excellent Vid! I normally use the tepee method, but tried this type a few days ago, and was very impressed. Within five minutes the flame was up and roaring. Thanks.

  • 5:43 "...as you can see once you get the first little FART lit the rest of it lights by its self." #lol

  • The point of a Log cabin fire is that it burns longer, and it burns like a candle, so you start the fire from the top, you need to build a mini Teepee style fire on top of the thing...

  • my first thought while watching this was: is there anyone out there who really needs to spend 6 minutes watching how to do something as unbelievably simple as taking a match and lighting some wood for a fire,,,, and then I am thinking yes probably is someone does need to watch this guy light a fire with his cottonballs and log cabin method than it should probably be even longer because they must be really thick in the head!

  • What knife was that?
