That is a neat little stool , I like the tripod stand too to mount over the fire , gives me an idea to make one. That is awesome job on getting that fire going, I may have to try that I believe I have some Polypore in my shed that I got off a birch it has the same consistency of Chaga. I really want to find chaga to make some tea and now this too lol. Have a great weekend my friend.

awesome Kevin we will have to add this to our fire building skills this summer..

Great video buddy! I’m excited to try this out on our next adventure together!

Looking forward to seeing the canoe trip.

Editing it now. Stay tuned!

My first thought was how can anyone waste precious chaga. But I can see that you don’t use much.

Howdy Kevin! I didn't know you could start a fire with Chaga! I just moved to Northern Maine('the county') recently, and a new friend of mine that I've been working with for the last month gave me a couple bags of it just yesterday as a matter of fact! I was going to make some tea out of it this weekend, it's supposed to be good for you. He and his wife are selling Chaga and Fiddleheads at the Patten, ME lumberman's museum tomorrow (fiddlehead fair!). it's always a treat to watch one of your videos, always learn something new! I camped out last Saturday night on a lake at Scopan / Maine Public Lands. I paddled 7.5 miles(one way) and found a campsite. Fought the wind and rain on way down, but Sunday am was gorgeous and sunny/no wind for paddle back. Didn't see another soul out there, and no bugs!!! Was a little chilly in the am, I think that was the last 30 degree night up here, it's gotten real warm this week, 70's this afternoon. Here's to summer 2024 season my friend! 😎

Sounds like my kind of adventure brother! Great to hear you're out there living life. As always, thanks so much for taking the time to watch. Hope to see you again on the next one.

Hey Kevin, great job starting the fire. Pretty amazing fire starting technique. I think all the work you put into it warranted something better than ramen noodles, like maybe a nice piece of steak grilled over the fire. Was the chaga pretty dry or had it recently been found. Also, does it matter if the brown, or black portion of the chaga is rubbed against the maple log? Keep these good videos coming. Thanks for sharing.

Really interesting method of fire making ! Right on ! Thanks for sharing my friend !

Give it a try! I was amazed at how well it worked. Best wishes my friend.

Pretty darned cool fire hack! Who would have ever thought, eh?! And just when I thought I had seen it all, lol. Terrific B roll of the Fiddleheads and the Eastern Newt! Good seeing you out and about in the ever-beautiful VT woods again. Thanks Kevin for sharing this nice outing and the very interesting and unique Chaga friction fire tip. ATB 🐀

Okay... WOW. I haven't seen or read about this before, I thought I'd read most of what has been written on firestarting. Thanks! Subscribed. Cheers from Toronto.
