You guys are the pioneer spirit incarnate. This video is what other survival channels would not dare to do. So many "survival TY gurus" starting fires on picnic tables under their patio roofs...ugh. So well done!. ...Plus you got a great narrative voice and mannerism. I hope the algorithm treats you and Dad well. Gonna keep making comments to do what I can to boost ya.
For less severe conditions you can make a fairy breathable pouch out of a cotton bandana for carrying the tinder with you. The cotton allows enough airflow through that damp materials (though maybe not wet materials) can dry as you go along. This was a great idea though, and I’ll be adding it to the tool box for sure. Have you thought of how this method would fair if it was actively raining?
Hey thanks for the comment. If it was actively raining steady and not on/off like we had, we’d still gather tinder, process it, tie it to our cord and keep it protected under our coat near our body heat. In covered sheltered areas pull it out for some swinging and continue processing with our hands to create lots of friction to help dry. It would definitely be tougher in steady rain because we wouldn’t be walking around swinging it.
😁Not deleted, temporarily not public. They were published at a time when TH-cam was barely suggesting our content to anyone so they didn’t receive very many views. I’m going to republish them under a new title and thumbnail in the future to see if YT algorithm will give them a little more attention and push. Cool that you noticed! Lol.
Something else to add to your lowland tinder arsenal of the PNW if you haven’t already experimented with it. The dry runners of last years Morning Glory. I gathered them when the grass blades nearby were extremely damp, but the morning glory was dry enough to ignite from a ferro rod strike and seemed very volatile. I have also used friction to generate enough heat from rolling between the hands to remove 90 percent of the moisture from the inner bark of robust tinders like Cedar and Popular, when gathered from the wet downed weathered logs found on the ground.

Hey thanks for the great comments!
I live in the Northeast of our great nation. Glad to know that nettles, cotton wood, and bracken made your list.
Howdy neighbor..I'm in the NE as well!
Knowing how wet it can be here in the Pacific Northwest, I found this VERY interesting. I always carry some dry tinder with me and some fatwood.
Dry tinder and Fatwood…a great combo.
Ditto
Awesome job with the cordage! 👍 👍

@@wildernessstrong6131 thanks for the reply, like I said I’m definitely going to have to add this one to my tool box
I don’t know how I just realized this, why did you delete the poison oak videos?

All of that is fantastic information. Keep it coming…thanks for watching and sharing.
And drying it with your body ??
Yes definitely. We have used body heat as well to help dry tinder.
fatwood mate, even wet it will burn
