Love the teaching of characteristics instead of "go find a cedar tree". Hate when other "survival guides" on youtube will refer to very area specific and sometimes hard to find natural resources to use as tinder. My favorite term is tinder weeds.

the best tinder processing tutorial ever seen

Good job. Got taught this stuff by my "Daniel Boone" uncle when i was about twelve, although he was using a Zippo lighter!

I’m just an old camper in no way a survivalist my breaking down body has caused me to miss that train for that art form but I feel like I can have enough knowledge to start a camp fire instead of thinking out fire wood is made of asbestos after a weekend at hickory run or French creek two of my favorite campgrounds

Thanks for the info. Very useful.

I like using pine needles from close to the trunk of a large tree, they're usually protected in rain or snow and take spark easily.

I know this is an older video but Thank you! this is exactly what I was looking for. I'm new to all this. Subbed :)

Nice information 🙂

Sir. You are very, very good looking.

That was awesome, very informative. Also, don't be afraid to use them all. One thing I find I do is get lazy. I try to cut corners and it makes starting the fire harder. If you put in a lot of time processing the tinder it's starts so easy you think you wasted your time. When I don't put in the time I'll struggle to get it started.

I grew up with the teaching that one of the first things you consider once your fire's established is tomorrows fire. Drying tinder/kindling by your fire take little thought or effort and can also be stored/cached for future visits by yourself or others who come after you.

These videos are extremely important these days. Because the world is falling apart!!

Need fine kindling? Simply take any old stick and shave it...I have never thought of that before, actually.

whip out the xm42 and no problem ya I know knock it off

Use dead grass and dry it next to the body under the clothing, or in your pocket. Also, old man’s beard.

Very helpful. Thanks for the great video.
