Bro EXACTLY what I was thinking 😂😂😂😂 Anybody who has built a brush fire from wood they sourced in the woods near their camp knows damn well its typically NEVER as easy as this. By no means am I a fire expert or anything, but I have built hundreds of brush fires and its tricky as hell. I've had my share of cold ass nights hunting during the rainy season in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and the unforgiving b!tch of the Louisiana bayou 😅 because I wasn't able to source any dry wood and ran out of daylight. I always bring a propane heater with me now just in case because I learned my lesson the hard way. You become smart from making dumbass decisions that you HAVE to fix. This dude is great and he means well. This video is great if you are camping by your home and have pre cut and dried wood. But this, unfortunately, will not work in many situations. Although 🤔, I will say that how he stacked his wood like a little brush cabin was awesome. When I saw how it directed the flames into a point like that, I immediately thought that I could use my cast iron cooking rack over that to cook much better. When I go on a big hunt, I always go heavy and bring my Dutch oven setup and I think this may be perfect for it. So even though as we kinda figured out this video is pretty much pointless 😅 BUT I did get that cool idea from it that's definitely going in my hunting toolbox 😂😂

Pro tip: always bring someone who knows what they’re doing

Note all the air space between the bits of wood. It's absolutely necessary. Smaller chips = Smaller spaces, yet still they MUST be there. Airflow brings in oxygen. More oxygen = hotter fire = bigger wood will burn. Blowing GENTLY on an "almost" fire adds that extra bit of oxygen & helps that spark ignite.

The way you were holding that log while tapping down with the hatchet is exactly how I was trying to split a log last week when I almost lost a finger. The axe slipped and whacked me good on the hand. Needed stitches. Be careful people!

Seriously… It’s been a cold winter and I’ve chopped a ton of wood recently and I can’t believe that was mentioned as the “correct” way to chop wood/build a fire.

Depending on your situation, this might be needed info. Whenever you put fuel on top of your fire, it will create smoke. Whenever the fuel is below the fire and it burns down, there is not noticeable smoke produced.

Always ensure that your wood is entirely bone dry as well! Campers: There is NOTHING wrong with using a dollar store firestarter brick. But yes, to avoid wastage and save time, you should cut your purchased wood into smaller pieces -- leave the bigger wet pieces for the bottom and sides.

I like the burn down spaced layers style where you criss cross flat layers of the kindling getting larger as you go down to full logs or some splits.

I grew up on the coast of BC tons of rain. My dad would give me and my brother 2 matches and told us to start a fire early spring. Possibly the hardest thing I've ever had to accomplish in my life

the majority of my life...building a fire meant we cut down or cut up a fallen pine tree and sectioned it to 3-4 ft lengths, then tossed it all into a huge bonfire, added a gallon of gasoline and then tossed in a road flare. It worked.

Eagle scout here. I never had dry firewood unless I was at home with my firepit.

Wow! Another fire-starting how-to video just like the 400 million others! We really needed this!

Good video. Recommend as you are doing to bring kiln dried pine firewood into the bush. If all you have is a tomahawk and a knife, it should work

The most important part that you used but didn't highlight is the large wood base. Always start on a wood platform. This keeps the fire off the cold ground, allows the base to radiate back on the kindling, and allows for good airflow to the base of the fire where it matters most.

When using flint and steel, keep the steel in place and pull the flint. Its more directed and you wont accidentally hit your tender pile.

If you stick the knife into a large piece of wood you can use the small pieces of wood and instead of shaving away from you with the knife in your hand, you will pull the small stick towards you (with the knife shaving the little curls off the side for easy lighting). This way keeps people who may not be familiar with knives from cutting themselves with a knife slip, which can happen to anyone. I've found this way to be more effective, because I have greater control over the cut, because I'm using two hands for one task(pulling the wood inwards which inherently is more controllable compared to pushing away). Allows me to feather one stick really well and it burns like a beast. Long winded , explanation, but hopefully it helps somebody and potentially save somebody from an injury.

Make fire eggs, take the cardboard egg crates, melt down Vaseline, make a paste using saw dust, fill you crates with the paste, optionally line with foil or wax paper to prevent soaking through, now just pack that, a knife and a ferro-rod, it sounds more complicated than it is, plus it stores FOREVER

The store bought, precut, seasoned, dry hardwood helps a lot when you're trapped in the wilderness and need a fire for survival.

I love the jump cut. Almost like the tiny ferro would actually start that tinder.

Super safe hand placement 😂 definitely didn't end your video with a cut on your hand, lol.

Most dry wood can be pulled apart by hand for kindling/tinder. Much safer than wielding a knife/hatchet

My grandfather always used to say your best friend in the woods is a good axe

In boy scouts we liked using dry ferns to start fires, it would take place of the shavings, super easy to get to catch fire

Bro came str8 from lowes with the cleanest firewood i haver seen!

I like the lighter fluid tho. It makes fire starting fun… If you plan to go into the woods, get some vasaline, cotton balls and a ziplock bag. Put a generous glob of the vasaline into the ziplock bag with a bunch of cotton balls. Mix them up and you have a very fast way to start a fire with a small spark. Don’t waste energy on shaving the kindling.

It's nicely dried, because dry wood is optimal for building a fire. The video you want would only serve as a "how not to" video. If you don't bring your own logs, you should be looking for dead trees and branches. The likelihood of starting a fire from a freshly cut tree is near nil.

It helps that the wood being used is seasoned well.. Most people just grab whatever fallen wood they find laying around the wooded area they are in. That is tougher to get going..

Imagine it’s 6am, freezing cold and everything is wet, and you have to find dry foliage and wood that can ignite

This is awesome - thank you!

Kindling! What a fantastic idea! It never occurred to me to use kindling. I always figured you needed to sift half of the gas tank of your car and poured onto a bunch of logs. Great advice! 🙄😂

The oak around will not split at all, the best way i found to get small pieces is a chain saw

So that’s what he does when he isn’t bartending in Deadpool 😂

The real tricks are finding dry wood while raining. And usable wood when covered in snow. If dry, just find 8 dry sticks about the size of your index finger, break them into 4 inch pieces. Get a handful of pine needles, stack sticks up like a checker board allowing air in between. Light a stick match and put it into needles. Then add larger pieces of wood as needed...

Awesome videos brother 😁🙌😁

Gen Z needs this video. I’m an 80s baby. We all knew how to light a good fire. Camping all through the summer holidays 😎

I like the Dakota fire pit, but your style is cool too. Thanks

Excellent. I recommend everyone put together an EDC pouch (Every day carry) in which you should have a ferro rod or moisture-proof matches or even a bic lighter. Some way of starting a fire, because you never know.

🔥 You are working waaaaay too hard. 🔥

I’m not just one of them people who can’t start a fire, I’m THE GUY who cancels camping trips because I can’t start a fire.

You can tell he spends a lot of time outdoors

2nd class Scout stuff. Good job

So satisfying 😂

In a pine forest, just use pine needles. It only takes 1 match if they are dry.
