Clarise! I wanted to say that although this was necessarily new info for me, i still got some good tips out of it and I absolutely loved watching! You are such a great teacher! Great job! So glad I know you're a sister in Christ! God bless!
Really good information thank you. I remember trying to light fires on training exercises many years ago and there is an art to getting a fire going in the wet. Not easy unless you know what you are doing and you obviously do. Thank you
Thank you for sharing this information. This is one of the best explanations of the fire triangle and fire making, in any conditions, that I’ve seen on TH-cam. I believe you covered most of the segments of the process and I can tell you have experience in the wild. I also like that you included a biblical reference in your presentation. Thank you again for sharing some of your knowledge and faith.
Thanks so much for your feedback. I'm glad it's been encouraging and I know we can talk endlessly about making fire but like you said the important bits are here for those who need some wet weather suggestions. C
Many thanks for that. Timely for me as I have decided to take myself back to bacis starting with firelighting under difficult conditions. By coincidence we appear to carry the same knife. Thanks again for the excellent video.

Yes for sure! And in different environments the climate may be wetter in summer so who knows when it comes in handy. Always nice to hear from you Jack. C
The inner bark trick is priceless! I believe I would try processing it by rubbing it between two flat-ish rocks. They could both be palm sized, or one could be large and stationary, and the other could be palm sized. I imagine this kind of technique was the impetuous for the grain mill. In any case, this would allow you to process the material to much finer stands, using much less effort.
Thanks for your beautiful video and explination. There are many ways to clean the sap. If needed to clean in the field I use olive oil which I carry for cooking.
A good video for anyone learning survival skills and anyone who braais in the Western Cape where dry commercial firewood is harder to find than a bureaucrat that believes in accountability. 😏
I would suggest to not use a saw gathering fatwood. I use a good chopperfor that job. My 240Skrama is my choice. 😁 I love your channel! Keep up the great content.
Absolutely. Dragging a saw (any saw but especially the en vogue Japanese pruning saws) through sappy wood is not advised. That being said on SHTF+1 if I have a choice between a last case of batteries versus a last case of WD40 I’ll take the WD. It’s a critical component of quickly re-tuning tools. All the older oils work but they take forever to break up the sap and they’re messy and wasteful
Try a little Kontakt60 spray to take the resin of your blade, cleans everything of my blades so far but have not tried it on the resin, so let us know if works lol.
Lovely accent but the for the part of getting resin of a blade, use the babywipes. If you need natural materials ash from the fire combined with water and a bit of elbow grease shoult to the trick. Or u could try it with an oil. Please keep up the good work and be a rolemodel for all the ladies and girls out there.
on a night on a river, I found a place fit to camp, I had been traveling down the greenbrier river by jonboat and no camp worthy flat land was there for miles and miles, it was getting dark, I pulled my boat up on a gravel bar and made camp. it had been raining for days. I found an old tire in the flood trash of trees and things that had gotten stuck on the shore after a flood. I cut strips of rubber from the tire and was able to start a fire with those. gotta love some trash once in a while.

This might be cheating, but I carry a very small can of WD40 spray. It's not a great lubricating oil, but, it's great for cleaning up sticky stuff. It dries like a wax, which is great for protecting metal surfaces. A blade that is coated with WD40 is less likely to get very sticky to begin with. Clean off what does stick with the spray. WD40 is also somewhat flammable.
@@MarcMallary Thanks! We don't have a lot of bitch around but it's always good to have a flaky bark. It would still need processing. Hair won't burn I'm afraid. Hunter is turning into a mountain dog very quickly! C
We definitely need more gorgeous women out there doing survival, camping so fourth. I'm tired of just seeing guys doing it lol. I know there's women out there who can do this stuff also so get your gorgeous butts out there and show us what you can do. This woman definitely would make a great wife.

Hi there! Thanks so much for your comment I'm really glad you've found value even though you've already got the skills down. Blessings! C
Clarise quite a bit of a fine video missy😊

Hi there! Thanks for adding your comment, it's true, working with wet materials or in the rain is tricky. Much appreciated. C
This is a valuable skill that is not readily practiced where I live in New Zealand. Thank you 🇿🇦 🇳🇿
You're welcome and thanks so much for watching. C
Excellent fundamental lesson in survival, very comprehensive fire starter lesson, thank you.

@@stephengonzalez5578 Hi Stephen! Thanks for your comment and for pointing out the important things again. Have a blessed weekend. C
This is all great information. Well said.
Most of this also applies to winter fire making

Nice idea about the rocks! Im lazy to process my tinder bundles so will defs give it a try😅C

First time seeing you, very intuitive, you've added to my limited knowledge , thanks, is that a green river knife you were using, loved the video.

Ethyl alcohol works great for cleaning stuff from resin! Nice video by the way
Try naptha/lighter fluid to get the sap off the blade
Cool will give it a go thanks for watching!

Ooh interesting story thanks for sharing. Just the other day I filmed a video about cooking on such a fire. Keep an eye out for it. C
@@LiveReady right on
Fat wood for favorable fire conditions. Pine sap for unfavorable conditions. Turpentine can be used to remove sap, as well as many other uses.
Hi there! Thanks so much for adding your suggestions here. Will try the pine sap😎 C
",,,To effectively clean pine resin from a saw, soak the blade in a solution of warm water and dish soap, then scrub with a nylon brush; for stubborn resin, use a solvent like mineral spirits, denatured alcohol, or a specialized blade cleaner, and always ensure to thoroughly dry the blade afterwards...."
I use turpentine on my woodworking tools. Often, when they start to cut slowly, they only need to be cleaned, not sharpened.
Interesting, will pay attention to that in future, thanks! C

Birch bark, pine conss lights well.
Maybe hair would work as tinder.
I like hunter.
@@MarcMallary Thanks! We don't have a lot of bitch around but it's always good to have a flaky bark. It would still need processing. Hair won't burn I'm afraid. Hunter is turning into a mountain dog very quickly! C
Use gorilla duck tape and cottonwool soaked in Vaseline. I always carry that.
Witam i pozdrawiam 🙂🙂🙂
Hello back and thanks for watching! C
That hood would make a good tinder bundle and accept a spark. Lol
Try lacquer thinner for resin removal, but use proper resistant gloves. It can make more delicate fingers raw.
Is your accent South African?
A follw up to my comment below would be if you dont like a heavy tool to add to your pack maybe a small camp axe or tomahawk.Again, Great channel!👍
5:16 WD40 and a fine wire brush
Who taught you these skills?
Mostly self taught. I learnt the inner bark trick from a fellow survivalist. C
We definitely need more gorgeous women out there doing survival, camping so fourth. I'm tired of just seeing guys doing it lol. I know there's women out there who can do this stuff also so get your gorgeous butts out there and show us what you can do. This woman definitely would make a great wife.
😂 Thanks so much for your comment Robert I really needed that. And yes it would be great to see more women survivalists around. C
I know twenty five more than just bleach and brake fluid. I studied fire technology Stephen bris aus luv ya keep warm and cook.
Interesting! Someone asked me just yesterday if I could run a fire making course, right up my alley😎 C
Mix bleach and brake fluid. Boom
Sounds dangerous😂
Yeah, who in their right mind would leave home without bleach and brake fluid to go wild camping, go figure
GASOLINE ⛽️ 😊
Ehha Mama ,ich will auch mal draußen Feuer machen .Dann sehen alle das ich sehr mutig bin.
Ok. You talk waaaaay to much. Just give the basic info and get working.
