Thanks you for watching this video. In the meantime I have designed my own survival knife which you can find at my online store: www.survivallilly.at/shop Thank you so much for your support
Survival Lilly where do you buy the flint equipment??
The flint is easy to buy in Europe, in US probably too. It's not an unusual stone. Here in Czech, most gift shops around cave complexes have them and specialised geology shops have them surely. It's cheap, just look. And for steel you can use almost any piece of steel or iron you find. People have invented various specialised designs for comfortable use.
When using the firesteel, try to scrape by applying more presure, and next to the tip of your firesteel rod ; using half (or less) of your rod's lenght will prevent it from thinning out and breaking in half, or losing a large portion of it. Also, another way to use it is by keeping the striker motionless and the firesteel rod traveling (dragging it to you) - this would allow the sparks to reach the shavings/tinder/etc. without the risk of moving or touching it by accident (when striking the normal way).
Hope I was able to express myself clearly, because english is not my primarily language and haven't used it for a couple of years :)
"One is none, two is one." Love it.
I had a buddy/co-worker once who used to light his pipe with flint and Tinder. He was a re-enactor at a classic outdoor museum. One day a guy asked him for a "light", he took out his flint and tinder and lit the cigarette with them. What a boss!! With a good tinder, creating a flame is no problem. He used charred cloth.
Excellent video, as always lily! Here's a little tip. If you are running low on matches you can split them with your knife and get two fires from one match. If you have a book of matches you can peel them into two halves. This really helps extend your resources. I know this is not a method native to your area, but I love the bamboo saw method of fire starting! Thank you for all you do!
Great video as usual.
The ordinary cheap lighter is better than some may think. When the gas runs out the metal top can be removed and the hot sparks used to light hundreds more fires.
If the lighter gets wet then you only need to put in in a pocket or inner clothing for a while and it will dry and work again,
Many thanks for your helpful videos.
I've watched several now, I find your strategies knowledgeable, and your dog lovable.
Thank you for all the videos. I'm really enjoying them because they are well made, well thought out and informative without the high level of chatter that many contributors use. A picture is worth a thousand words and bushcrafters are practical people who often learn by watching a process, then doing it themselves. They don't always need a running commentary on everything they do, so your films of you enjoying the great outdoors are a breath of fresh air, in many ways. Please keep up the good work.
Hi Lilly,
Wow, you make everything look so easy! Thank you for all your ideas and the proof of concept!
Wow I'm an idiot. At 2:11 I heard the fly with my headphones on and it freaked me out and I started swatting around my head. Sounded like there was a fly about to fly into my ear haha.
Serious ASMR with that fly... and I am indoors... lol
Same
well Josh , they claim idots are born every day. I guess the saying is true . :)
👍good educational material for individuals who don't know these tricks & materials!! Good job Lilly!!
The bow drill method was one of those taught to us in the Air Force, and the other was the use of the fire storm method which you used here. It is nice to know how to survive in the wilderness and each branch of the military here in the United States teach their personnel how to survive if stranded in a strange place.
One of your earlier videos here that I just found - it is actually quite good. Eventually I will catch up and view all of them. Nicely done - thumbs up!

Thanks for the videos, it's nice to see more people getting involved in bushcrafting :)
Great video :)
Regarding spreading the fire your "birds nest": Your breath is very likely to be more moist than the air around you, so if it tends to not work, try generating the wind by waving it around.
A few more mentions. Zippo lighter and it's wind proof too. Perma-Match Fire Starter. It is a steel match stick dipped in lighter fluid and makes 13,000 lights and costs $2.99 at Amazon. Nice video. Keep it up Lilly.
I store all my fire making items in an altoid tin. The tin can be used to make char cloth. Contents on my metal altoid tin is, frenzel lense, lighter, charcloth, ferro rod, steel wool(steel wool will also take a spark and ignite) dryer lent, bits of wax string, extra cloth to make char cloth, the tin is secured closed with a large rubber band (can also be used for tinder). So in one small tin, approx. 1" x 2.5" x 4" I have several tinder options and fire starting options.
I've seen a lot of people stretch small balloons over the end of a Bic Lighter to keep it sealed and waterproof. Very effective and cheap insurance, though I personally prefer a Ferrocerium rod.
Thermite is also a good option. Some may argue it is only good at melting steel but it would be a good replacement for the black powder.
I always carry fine steel wool in my fire kit, nice to see someone demonstrate with steel wool. keep up the good work
If you didn't know, fine steel wool can also be lit with a ferro rod. Just wrap the steel wool in twine or grass, strike the rod and blow until you get a flame.
Thanks for the video. As suggested, 3 methods of fire starting is a must (can be simple and of little added weight). In discussions with others regarding wilderness excursions, the traditional ‘camp fire’ is becoming less common (by choice) as tree resources become ever more scarce and that wild fires are an ever increasing threat (many areas have prohibited ‘ground fire’). The shift has already happened toward high efficient stoves of bottled fuel. The fire starting techniques discussed in the video are important in that they are survival skills and are a part of emergency preparedness.
Cheers
Great demo, tips and information; THANKS!
Thank you Lilly...Great Video
In the US if you know what you are looking for you can make your own decent black powder. Hi Yield (brand name) stump remover is mostly potassium nitrate, sulphur is found in garden areas of stores, carbon is easy to make.
Excellent video, specially ths pros and cons of each product. Thank you for sharing. Love the accebt too. Cheers!!
Tolles Video Lilly..schön gezeigt und erklärt auf welche Arten man Feuer zustande bringt..ich bin schon gespannt auf dein Bowdrill Video
lg Gü
Great Job! Love the demonstrations!
I love your video's. They are so informative and you do them well. Great job !
Just a note on striking matches properly: I live in a very windy area, and what I do is to hold the match with the head pointing toward my body and using my ring finger to support the splint while striking it. Upon ignition, my hand is already basically in a "cupped" fashion which helps give me time to draw my opposite hand to complete the cupping motion. This protects the match from the wind a little bit better for me. Maybe it will also help you ;)
Thanks for sharing, that was informative.
Lilly, I really enjoy watching you with your survival techniques. Everyone should know how to start a fire even when it's raining. It's great you're showing that a woman can do these things in this male dominated world.
Another quick and easy fire starter is potassium permanganate and glycerin. they have medical uses as well
Another excellent video! Thanks!
Thank you young Lady for your very well done video!! My favorite method is the glass tis a shame it is limited by the weather....but we have all of the others! Great work!!!
Another great video! Appreciating your work and passing on your knowledge, here in London England 👍
Great video. Thanks!
Great video lilly!
Thanks Lilly --A great and very informative video.
You have inspired me to start practicing and perfecting a few different methods of fire starting. Looks like great fun and very useful.
Love your videos and your accent, I've learned some new tricks from you. That forest looks amazing. Danke schoon fur de videos, subscribed!
Did anyone else have earphones on and shoo that fly away @ 2:11 ?
She wont to burn the fly
That fly made me swat at my headphones. Good use of B-Roll footage though.

HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT SHAVING BIRCH LIKE THAT!!! YOU ARE GENIUS LILY!!!!
That's a great video, and it's great to see your progression from then till now! Take care : )
another awesome video on so many different kinds of fire lighting.thanks for taking the time to show how its done.
Very informative! Thank you!
Love all your videos!
I learned some things from this, and your demonstration of techniques I already knew about was very well presented and helpful.
I also like your video capture and editing. Very well done.
Thanks for all you share with us.
Good Vibrations
This is such a great video! I love re-watching your video's.
Really awesome video! Thank you for sharing all the ways to make fire! Super important! God bless you Lilly!
Nice demo thanks.
Great stuff Young Lady ! Thanks for sharing and spreading the knowledge.. I always enjoy you and dog, out in the woods.. Will have to keep an eye out for a lens similar to that.. I keep a couple of Fresnel lenses on hand usually but like having a nice glass handy as well..
Excellent tips
Awesome video. Thank you very much
Wow. Great video, Lilly! Very good technique. I will try some of these the next time I'm outdoors, which is next week. :-) And love your dog too.
Survival Lilly is Awesome!, glad I stumbled onto her channel, looking forward to all her videos. Keep up the great work Lilly

Wonderful video Lilly! Loved your camera angles and editing. Very nice tutorial too on the assorted ways to make a fire... : o)
Thank you very much Liliy
Thank you for sharing!! :)
I've watched several fire making videos, this is the first one I've seen where the disposable lighter is considered. I find the cheap disposable lighter to be my go to fire starter, inexpensive, reliable, simple, small enough to carry many. Of course I also have matches and magnesium fire starter as back up.
first day watching you and I'm very impressed you know everything.
It's handy to know everything when you make educational videos :)
Great video!!!
Potassium permanganate and glycerin work great together. I keep a little bottle of each in my emergency kit.
Great video, thank you
Great video!
Lilly I love all your videos. Thanks for being so cool.
Hey, sehr schönes und interessantes Video !! Das Sturmfeuerzeug fand ich gut,hab so ein Teil etwas größer von Proxon,ist aber zu groß zum mitnehmen,aber so in Feuerzeuggröße ist das echt interessant,klasse,
LG Brummer
Awesome video!
Things ignite a lot better if you strike the sparks straight into them. For that, it is best to firmly place the tip of the fire steel into or next to your tinder and strike down.
Excellent video. Very informative, too. Looking forward to your next video.
brilliant instructional video well done cheers BriBo
Starkes Video liebe lilly. Der schnitt und die verschiedenen Blickwinkel kommen echt geil rüber. Danke für das super Video. Wie immer 1a :-)
Bussal da Mike
If your lighter gets wet, you simply blow really hard on the wheel 3-5 times, and then roll the wheel the opposite way a few times. This drys the flint, and then it will strike a spark and lite the gas... This drys the flint by friction & evaporation... It will work.
Good work Girl!
Eine Deutsche in Amerikanische Wald?! I just found your videos tonight and I have to tell you they are great. I'm from Georgia, USA and am an avid outdoorsman, and speak German. I definitely subscribed, I look forward to seeing many more of your videos...
Hey thanks for your comments. Sorry I took so long to reply. No one had ever commented. I hope my videos has helped. I'm not an expert, just trying to help. God bless
Great video! Thank you! :)
Nice videos. I enjoy them all. That fly at 2.11 made me swat my earphones off hee hee.
You are the queen of woodcraft!!!!!!!
Great stuff for sure!!!
I love the blonde hair, looks very natural on you. And of course the out door survival videos as always!
Great vid!!!!!
Fantastic video. Very informative, Enjoyed it . Great job
The flint and steel was the most interesting part. I'd like to learn how to do that. Excellent presentation and video production!
I hunt with a flintlock The black powder in the pan is a finer grade than the that in the rifle. However any good black powder should ignite with a spark. You have done a very fine job with this video. I also believe in carrying fat wood and collecting a supply of pine pitch wherever I find it. Taught my sons to do the same. You are a treasure
Great vid, very informative. But this is what we have to come to expect from you:). Keep up the good work.
good job. What I heard of black powder is you have to crush a little bit of it ( never use it myself). Maybe one tip when blowing bird nest my teacher told me. Further distance from mouth ( decrease moisture) and slower breath
great video!
very good video, it is handy to know several methods of fire starting , then pick the three which work for you best, and have them at hand, cheers and keep up the great videos :)
dear miss survival LILLY...CITY BOY.. thanks you forever.. now even us looffaass. ..can now easily start a fire to make cold food hott...you are an icon for all earthlings to learn...live long&prosper........
Great stuff - all very handy info...
Hi Lilly could you do a show on fishing items that could fit into a small can and demonstrate how to use them to catch fish? Thank you.
very good.. thanks
Excellent!! Good to see that you threw in the black powder. That seems to be an unexplored fire starter, but a very effective one!! I'll have to play with that one.
Good job bring all these different styles together in one vid!!
Now bring on the bow drill ;-)
I keep most of those items in my bug-out bag, but with something extra - several credit-card sized Fresnel lenses. You never know when a magnifying lens could be misplaced. I also have a piezo-electric device from a cigarette lighter as well.
Three bottles of lighter fluid also reside in my bag, just in case I can't find dry tinder.
Good video lilly
Sehr, sehr schöner Feuer Film Lilly. Tolle Video Arbeit auch. LG Sepp
Great Video Lilly. Im going to link it to my bushcraft group on FB.
