Plenty of interesting skills displayed here. I tried one time to get water to boil in a birch bark container sitting directly on coals. I never did get it to boil. Perhaps if the bottom of the container had been directly in flames I might have got it to boil eventually. I have used hot rocks to boil water many times however. Works well as you also showed here.

Thanks Lonnie. 🙂 I propped it up on the hot rocks that I used for stone boiling, so I could keep cramming fresh coals underneath. I never got that big rolling boil that I got from dropping the rocks into the container, but it simmered with little bubbles from the edges long enough that I had confidence that all the mirco-critters were dead. I remember seeing your stone boiling videos a while ago and they were definitely a motivating factor in trying this. I have had a few previous failed attempts at making a watertight container before this, so this was my first success with this method. 🙂

Knowledge, skill, endurance, patience and its obvious lots of practice, you have got it all going on here. Nicely done. When I was a younger man I drank water out of every lake river and stream I was next too. I never got sick. I'm older and wiser now and am much more selective about where I get my drinking water.

Thanks Charlie! 🙂 I know the world is a dirtier place in some regards, but I think our society may have gone a little bit overboard insisting that all water from nature needs to be purified. I occasionally drink directly from small creeks coming down steep slopes just for the experience of it. The water in this creek was in a snowfield just hours before and if I had to guess, I could probably drink straight out of it without getting sick. There are other places that I have been that are wild and remote, but still much more likely to be contaminated. I have read some interesting articles that seemed to claim that the threat of Giardia and Crypto are both way overblown in many parts of the country, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if that's credible. I enjoy drinking straight from nature and will continue to when it makes sense.

I have a K-Bar. I "acquired" it 52 yrs ago while on a combat tour in Vietnam. It never failed me then and 52 yrs later it is still doing it's duty. If I only had one thing to bring with me it's my K-Bar!

Hey man I thought I would tell you hat I made that green wood fire with privit hedge it took me 2 hrs and 15 minutes to get it . I was elated. It was another Tom Hanks moment for me ! When you first came out with that video . I almost left you channel because I said " that's impossible " . You my friend are rewriting the books. If you told me that a hen dips snuff I would look under her wing for a spit can . Also encouraged by David West channel too, I thought if that old fart can do it, so can I ,although I'm about 4 yrs older than him. You truly are rewriting the books . Learning this also helped with my high humidity problems.

Thanks man! In my experience, bark seems easiest to peel this time of year, but will remain reasonable until we get deep into the summer drought, at which point it gets a little tougher. It is much harder in the winter, but I have been able to get strips for cordage. I doubt I would be able to get a solid piece for a container that time of year, but I have wondered if heating a piece of wood over the fire after soaking it might loosen up the bark. Another experiment for my list.
