 Well, I'm filming you. Well, I know you're filming me. Why are you filming me? I thought maybe you would tell what we're going to do. Oh, I think we're getting ready to build a fire Okay so We've gathered Some stuff here to see if we can get a fire started. Okay Well what poo bears done Trying to block the sunlight y'all, but what poo bears done She's gathered me up some Pie needles And we went down the road and we bought some firewood now all the time of course guys I know I'm going to get a lot of slack about that by hey You know you can always buy firewood, but when you can you know like I said, we're this not a survival situation This is a camping situation So I've split up some small wood Next size up and then a couple pieces next size up and then the next size up and then of course We've got pieces over here for burning for the night now What I've done is I've kind of dug this out a little bit. I know survival situations You know you might not have a shovel while in a survival situation. Guess what if our car breaks down What do we have in the trunk? That's right, and here it is. It's an emergency survival shovel, but anyway, like I said, we're not surviving We're not trying to do that right now What we are doing is just doing some little camping tricks and tips and so what I've done is I've Flatten this out really good. Now what I'm going to do with this here this piece here I'm gonna set it in here and have a base Okay, now that's going to burn down to make some good coals now See we're fortunate enough being a pine tree so as you can see all the pine needles pine cones They are excellent at starting fire not to start fire But once you get a flame going they are excellent to catch now Let me show you what you can look around for now understand if you're in the desert You're not gonna have this if you're in Alaska, you know an ice you're not gonna have this and But like if you're out in the woods Surely you can find a pine tree or another tree like I said this just camping. We're fortunate enough to do this to be able to be in these pines now Like look for if it's wet out if it just rain look for stuff like that on The tree before you gather up on the ground, of course naturally it's gonna be wet on the ground Look for now see these trees, you know have been picked clean because we are in a campsite, but Normally, you know if you're out in the middle know where you find yourself in that situation You know look for branches on the tree that are dead, you know like this If you listen, well That was not quite dead, but that will work It will save you but look for stuff on the tree before you do on the ground now these pine needles they do They will dry out pretty quick So like if you get some and Grab my handful Warm them up in your hand Spread them out a little bit if you get a little Sun Sun set them somewhere to where the sunshine will dry them out or carry them in Your pocket or underneath your armpit for warm them up It will dry them out enough, but like I said, we're just we're just doing a camping video here So I've had some comments about wanting to see us how we do the fire and as to how we do it now There's one woman was it Monica That wanted to see a lot was it Monica That wanted to see a lot of different things well in this series We're gonna cover pretty much everything she wanted to see so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna set the tripod up It's a little windy. I hope you can hear me and Hope you can see it. Okay. I'm gonna set tripod up and I'll be back with you what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna flatten this down a little bit more I'm gonna use that as my base now if you want a heat fire You want to use rocks as your base the flattest rocks you can get because once they get hot They will warm the ground up since since you know, it's like Right now. It's like 79 80 degrees. We don't need a heat fire. It's only gonna get down I don't know. It's probably gonna be 56 tonight, so it's not we don't need a heat fire, but in that situation Yes, you want to use rocks, but this we're I'm just making a base because the ground as you can see Oops as you can see is still a little damp and that will take your you know your coals away And but so I'm gonna use this as a base and by the time this burns through this ground is gonna be 90% Dry, so I'm gonna be back with I'm gonna set tripod up and I'll be back with you in just a sec Okay, back with you YouTube now if you watched or video I know a lot of you have can you comment it on what you want to see you saw this and A lot of people Will use these matches. They're like 250. I seen one more today. They're $2.50 or waterproof matches All that is is there's a little piece of wax Over the tip not the whole match. That's what makes waterproof. So here's the secret You want some waterproof matches go buy you a box of Ohio blue tips for three bucks You get 1000 match, whatever, you know, don't quote me on that, but you know what? I mean get a whole bunch of them and Like you can do at home and dip the ends Just the ends of them that you strike into the wax. That's what you need That's where the this the sulfur sulfate, whatever it's called starts the fire from that's where that is That's what you want waterproof. And that's all waterproof matches are so there's there's a good little tip to make your own now Like I said, this is dry Okay I'm gonna fluff some of this up Now the reason why I have this sitting on here like I said, that's damp So never set your any kind of striker or fire starter on the direct ground if you can help it because it will You know it can draw moisture. So let's get some of this going here or get some of this down Let's dig it out of here This is just actual dryer lint right out of out of our dryer now. I'm using probably 50 cent piece size of Lent there and I'm gonna try with that Now like I said in the other video you can actually Scrape some of this magnesium off in there as well But I'm gonna try this without the magnesium and see what happens now. This will work as a striker Of course you take it off chain. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna use my knife Now everybody says don't don't do it. Don't use your knife You know a dull knife is better than no knife, you know, but if you're going to use your knife I'm gonna use the back of it Like this is what I'm gonna do You can do this because how often do you go clear up here? You can do that too. I might end up doing it I don't know, but let's just see how this happens. See how this plays out. So what I'm gonna do set this here Now I'm gonna take some of our our Pine needles here and let's see if I can get the lint to take us take us Take a spark See what we can do here Now what I usually do instead of going like this see how that's you can push actually push that away So what I'm gonna try to do if I can is pull the flint stick back So the spark Goes down there instead of going like this and knocking your stuff everywhere So give that a shot. Sometimes it don't always work But if you're good enough, yeah, you can do that if you if you can stay back and direct your spark I'm not that great yet. So I'm gonna see what I can do right here on the edge of this knife Oh, it did on the first one. I didn't see it. Okay. Here we go now always have your Your your fire-building stuff real handy like I just showed you in order So let's get this going to start on first one Yeah, when I struck when I started striking I couldn't stop. I seen it catch So now there's that remember do not put this on the ground Set it somewhere your knife. It don't matter, but I just bought that Who better got for me actually Now let's get some of this in here Like this now. Let's put some more of this on here Now this one you have to blow on a little bit Once you get this on there, but anytime you see smoke and sparks like that you're all right and then a lot of guys they're good enough they can They can actually build the fire just like this and then start it and all they got to do is blow on it And they're already they're already done. They're skipping a step and them guys are good. I'm not that great I have done it but since we're just camping You know, I should practice up on it more because sometimes I may need to do that You never know see how that's starting right there already that would start and I haven't even blown on it So I might not even worry about blowing on it and it'll have to be pretty now What I'm building is called a TP fire because going like this a lot of guys build a log hamfire or whatnot and their fires burn Really long and really hot as well, but it takes longer Always takes at least a good hour no matter how you build a fire, but they do it that way and I have done it that way But this is a little bit easier just camping But if I was talking about heat and long-term I would I would do it the way them guys do it And you can use bricks to or rocks like I said for a heat fire, but since we're not needing that right now I'm sweating I'm just gonna do it this way So now see as you can see I did not have to blow on this But the damper the weather of course you're gonna have to blow on it the colder you're gonna have to blow on this one Fortunately, I have good dry wood You're not always gonna be in that situation, but the next time Maybe we're out if it's raining real hard. Maybe Monday if it rains while we're still here I'll come out and try to build a fire for you in the rain. I've done it before I know I can do it and I'm 100% confident I can do it again Because I'm prepared for that always be prepared all these pine needles pine cones Put them somewhere put them in your shoulder put them in your tent if your car can't put them in the car Keep them dry guess what you're gonna have a fire when nobody else does so Now I'm moving up a little bit bigger actually my my base I probably should have dug it out a little bit more But this I just used as a wind block You don't want to make it too deep unless you're building a spit to like cook a hog or something But you don't want to go too deep and drown out your air So as you can see we're getting plenty of air. I'm gonna move this stuff out of the way I'm gonna hand it to Poo Bear right behind me. Thank you. I'm gonna keep a knife there you go and This is an Ozark trail knife Now that's not a promo for them. I don't work for them by no means, but I just gave $8 and something for it a Walmart Wasn't there a real wooden handle. It is nice. It does have the now it is a little tight, but I mean it still flips out good So I'm kind of doing a little review as well. That's got a little clip. It's nice. It's nice knife It's not super duper sharp, but most knives aren't if you want them sharp sharpen them yourself and you can get them sharp This one I wasn't worried about it's sharp enough for what I'm gonna do with it this weekend Like I said, I'm not gonna do a review on how good the blade is I'm sure it will break if I get into batoning too much with it and stuff. I'm sure I could baton you know little stuff if I wanted to but this is just you know just in case I got a this is just You know, it's a little knife Like I said, it's not survival in a survival situation. You're only want to do a lot more than what I'm doing here So but this is just camping just little tips and tricks that that make it a little more fun When you start a fire with a spark instead of you know half a gallon of gasoline two jugs of lighter fluid and You know, I mean, it's all right. You get it going get going quick sometimes But this is kind of cool, especially if you want to impress your friends or family which had a comment They're going camping for the first time with their family this summer and what was it poo boneless? Yeah Now I can't remember I printed this out So I can name your names which I will you know if you keep watching series I will name your names But she's going to bone leg and was talking about it in here It sounded familiar, but I didn't the reason why I didn't respond yet was because I thought poo went but I wasn't sure and Pooh bear went when she was a kid The lining of Ohio into Kentucky not too far. Yeah, so just kind of just right over in Kentucky and she had mentioned it before but but Pooh bear said you will have an awesome time if you go there So and I'm sure you know that been so long ago. I'll bet not like now They've got you know with more things and technology. I bet they've got a lot more things You know and added on and stuff as well. So poo bear had a great time and and she was really She just thought it was cool to hear You know that somebody was going to there so and she said but she said you you'll have an awesome time But anyway back to the subject you were in person friends now right now you're blowing this I don't have to But I'm going to see but I'm going to and there you go now as that burns down a little bit once You get more flames going it'll take a few minutes, but once you get more flames going I'm gonna move you here You can start adding bigger stuff, but so I just wanted to do that for you and Get you moved up here But so hope you enjoyed that and just blow it take your time especially if it's damp out take your time do your preparation set everything out make sure you're good to go and If it is damp out remember you stuff off that off the trees if you can now I understand for you survivalists and preppers Look, you're not always gonna be around trees and always gonna break down Round trees, but if I break down in the car. I've already got a shelter. I've always get I've already got a fire starter I've got floor mats. I've got carpet. I've got headliner I Can make a fire no problems like cinnamon smoker I've you know always got lighter We will survive. I know how to do snares. I've caught animals with snares I don't like to because I like a good clean kill because I am hungry, but in a survival situation I have done that if you guys want to see it. I know a lot of you don't I can do a video like that I really don't want to but if I do and I do catch something which I will I will eat it I do not mess around. I don't like people who kill for the thrill, you know, they those guys can kiss my ass Kill if you need food If you hunt, that's fine. If you don't eat it pass it on give it salvation army. They will give it to someone Don't just kill something just to kill it Don't just go out and kill, you know a 12-point buck because you want the rack and leave it Lay and don't give a shit about it. Don't do that because if you're one of those guys and you're subscribed to me I'm subscribed right now because I don't go for that Like I said, I am but but you got to think though in a survival situation. I will do what I got to do you know that the chain of what is it the food chain, you know, I mean We eat animals animals eat us animals eat other animals. I mean, you know right down the line Some of you don't I understand that man. I'm not against that if you're vegetarian or big and whatever That's fine. That's that's that's great, but I do like me and You know if I was somewhere and and I got too close to Baron I got attacked. He's gonna eat me So, you know, you got to think about it in survival situation I will eat and I will eat meat I will gain weight. I you know, I gotta keep them, you know carbs going but for now there's your fire and I'm gonna get this going. I think maybe Puber might be getting a little hungry Maybe we'll do some maybe I'll do a little video Maybe some cooking on tripod or something. So but there's your fire building. So There's gonna be plenty more like I said, maybe tonight But either way you keep watching the series. You will see me boil water In a plastic jug So gonna be awesome stick around. Thanks for watching
