This is probably THE best video on how to correctly make a fire on you tube! I know it has been said many times, but this should be taught in school. I'm glad you are sharing something that at one time was common knowledge in such an informative and entertaining way. Keep on it brother.

Fuel-Oxygen-Heat: (FIRE) THE most understood concept of survival. Rain-Cold-Fair, an absolute necessity. Physical-Psychological-Sustainable. Master The Basics. Very well done Dave. Beyond what you have on your back.

This isn't about trying not to die. It's about learning how to live.

Best fire starting vid yet. Simple and straight to the point. I will be sharing this. Thanks Dave.

I have been with you for a few years, now. You have become a truly excellent instructor. Your intro was about as good as it gets. Really glad to see you striving and improving, over time.

Excellent. Love that you clearly explain the reasoning that underlies the steps in your process.

I love these basic videos for helping to teach my wife these things. We plan on going to the wilderness alot more in the future and this is the perfect primer for her to learn survival skills. Thanks again.

Well done Sir! A most definitive treatment of a foundational skill. I enjoyed the rope and stick trick at the beginning! Once I used that method to gain dry wood. The momentum of the stick jerked the slick rope from my hand, and the stick lodged in the branches with the end of the rope dangling 10 ft above my head. As I stood in disbelief at my predicament I know I could hear the squirrels laughing at me! Tie the other end of the rope to your wrist! Thanks again Dave!

I swear, you cover so many more of the important little details that almost every other person skips over. That bit the fine fibers falling out of the bark is a perfect example.

Thanks again Dave for the lesson. The wet bark versus bone dry bark was a great tip. I have learned so much from your videos and appreciate you teaching The Path.

I'd just about kill for the opportunity but providing for the family comes first, so I'll have to miss you on this trip. Enjoy the banquet and don't stop your outstanding work. Take care.

Coffee time......Good job Dave !!!!!!!!!

ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW - GREAT THANK YOU DAVE. HOWDY ROCKY MTS.

Every time I watch a new video I pick a little something up. Thanks Dave.

Even his hat is multi functional.

great job buddy Im glad to see you are still able to open my mind about fire lays and construction you've been a big influence on me and my channel thanks and keep up the great work

This is a pretty awesome technique, I tried this out tonight and had my fire going strong in less than 2 minutes.

Great video just got my first fire lighter at 27. never to late to start learning. can't wait to try this out. I was pleased to see that I already instinctively ordered all of my sticks and resources before starting the fire. I've just been teaching myself but these videos help greatly 😊 so thank you

Great video. Thanks Dave.

Once again you are on top of it Dave. Ill check it out.
