  • @BumJuiceDrinker The purpose of the video was to show where to find the driest wood possible and how to use pine pitch to light wood that is otherwise too damp to start easily. Many people are not aware of how to use pine pitch in this way. The source of ignition wasn't the point. Your other comments were removed because while constructive criticism and conversation by people who have something to contribute to the pool of information is appreciated, sniping is not welcome.

  • About the "purism" type comments on this video - all the ancient folks whose purism you are entranced with would have used a lighter if they had one. Bush skill development is about having a variety of skills, not about doing things the "pure" way (except in authentic, traditional ceremonial settings). So, relax and learn from this man; he knows a lot.

  • Great video, with the honest common sense that can escape a cold, wet, tired hiker. I just posted what might be a good companion video, "Wet, cold resin fire," on luvhambo's channel. Near the end you can see my always-carry BCNW01.

  • Great vid !

  • bushcraft... with matches??? FAIL!!!!

  • @BumJuiceDrinker damn right!!!

  • Brilliant !!

  • Excellent clear video, thanks for the tips.

  • here is a little tip that i have found out myself about fire

    when you see you fire is dying down and all that is lit is embers bring your head right down to the ground or as low as you possibly can then blow slowly on the embers speed up your blowing slowly and you will end up getting flame back

    it does work for me ive been using this methood for 2-3 years and its never let me down

    hope this helps

  • Great video but pine sap will even start wet pine needles and wet wood works great hand only down fall you get all over youhands

  • You should make more instructional videos, this was fantastic.
