yaeh after its filmed how long till its uploaded

Great video . My preachy moment = Just about any tree fungi or "shelf" fungi will work for tinder . Hammer stone the s... out of it before trying to cut it up . This will remove any hard unusable material + is faster and safer . Have tried the wood ash treatment and see no benefits , but your methodology is appreciated . Thanks again and best wishes . Ancient guy in New Mexico -> Lefty Cat

Around here in Mississippi/USA, I tend to find it on dead black walnut, cottonwood and quaking aspen trees. When I first found this fungus I had no idea what the name of it was or if it was even a viable fire starter until I felt how hard it was. I had to pry it off with my knife. I cut it open and saw/felt how woody it was. So I took the ferro rod out experimenting, struck it and bam. An ember. That tiny piece smoldered forever until it was completely consumed. I was amazed! Then I started doing research and watched several videos including this one. I thought I had made a discovery at first!!! Lol. But yeah, I found some big ones yesterday and they will definitely be going into my tinder pack. Some good info right here on this video.

Back in the old days Samuel Hearne kept his tinder fungus in a leather pouch full of gun powder to keep it dry. Y'all did good work.

I always look forward to your guys videos. Another good one. You keep making, I'll keep watching!

Yes, you will run out of cloth to char but you won't run out of things to char. You could char Amadou, punk wood, and a wide variety of natural organic items if you wanted.

good to know !!!

I love amadou probably my favorite tinder for flint and steel, pity I don't get to use it too often as it doesn't grow where I live (Australia) and I have to buy it, plus now I can't import it any more as Border Force seems to have taken exception to bringing it in these days. Thanks for showing how to process it.

Instead of buying the material for fire you can always just use what's around your surroundings?

@waveman0

Жыл бұрын

@@dingolightfoot8823 I agree with the sentiment and try the best I can but as I live in suburbia it can be difficult to harvest fire materials locally. Sometimes you just have to adapt to your situation. I get where you are coming from though mate.

Lots of work, but certainly an interesting way to start fires that I've never seen before.

+Star Mountain Outdoors & Bushcraft yes indeed, thanks for the comment 👍🏼

just on the topic of char material, you can make 'char cloth' out of some punk wood or wood that's just starting to rot, it's the same process just means you won't run out of cloth as you are using wood as the char material 👍.

Great video! I was wondering if you could also use ashes from another tree?

Love seeing different ways of starting fires and different tinder's in use. But i wouldn't throw away the Char cloth just yet considering you used that to start the fire to make your tinder!.lol but great vid anyway

I know it's going to happen for you. If those 2 goofballs (said with affection) on Dutch Bushcraft Knives can reach 100,000, it will happen for you guys. It seemed to happen all of a sudden for them. I've been dropping your name around so hopefully that will do some good.
