Hey man, rest the ferro rod right on the kindle, then place your knife's spine on it, maybe like 2 inches from the handle and at a 45 degree-ish angle so the spine corner will scrape the rod. Then just pull the rod towards you, leaving the knife in place. Make sure to put some pressure to really get some sparks out. Nice video, hope to see more.
Usually, they will replace the drone. So it should not be a problem. I see some have already told you about cotton balls, soaked in Vaseline. Also, make sure you have plenty of twigs to put on the fire 🔥 to keep it going. I had a pad for my Tundra that had ridges on the bottom to make the floor smooth to lay on. I used 2 exercise pads to lay on with my sleeping bag / pillow 😴. You will find out that each trip you will learn new thing to bring! Another awesome video! And it's great to see your subscriber list growing! As always, thanks for sharing your adventures! Rick From Virginia
sweet...i got a '11 Tacoma with 5' foot bed and Leer topper. I am driving from Alaska to the lower 48 in May and camping along the way. First of this type of adventure in this rig. Got a "foot box" which actually allows for the tailgate to be left down and while covering that space, attaches on the bottom of the closed topper door. This allows for that little bit of extra space, although sleeping diagonal will work. I'll have to see how it works! Safe travels!!
Nice! That extra space will work wonders! I did forget I had the cover on in the middle of the night and popped up and hit my head pretty hard lol. Your setup should do just fine! It may get hot in there if you get to the warmer areas. Safe travels to you as well!
Whooo! Pisgah looks like a beauty area. I'm happy to see you get the fire going with the ferro rod. For advice there, get closer. You want the rod right up to your tinder. Put the rod as close to the handle of the knife as possible and bear down with good force. Practice keeping a consistent angle and adjust that angle to find the point that works best. You want a good shower of sparks that continue to burn for a couple seconds. You'll get that with the right angle and enough pressure. Keeping the rod as close to your hand gives you the best control. Next, success requires a tinder that takes the sparks easily. Fibrous, dry material that burns readily is best. That's why the cotton balls lit right up. There are many sources of good natural tinder in the forest. Dry birch bark is excellent. Scrape the white side with the knife to make some fine, fibrous tinder that will light easily with the ferro rod then bend the end of the bark over into the flame or use a second piece. It burns great. Fatwood can be harvested from pine trees and scraped with the spine of your knife to make probably the best natural tinder you can get. Best to watch some videos that explain how to find and process it. Lastly, gather more material in each size. A big tinder bundle, a big pile of small dry twigs, a big pile of medium twigs then a big pile of kindling will help when the weather is not so good or dry wood is scarce. Then practice, practice, practice. Keep the videos coming man, I'm really enjoying them. I live in Canada and love watching content from the Carolinas especially Pisgah.
Thanks so much for the advice and kind words! There is a STUNNING site up there that I have my eye on. I will have to get lucky to find it unoccupied, but I can’t wait to show that one to all of you. It’s jaw dropping
Keep it up you will learn as far as your ferro rod you always need some kind of a fire starter such as cotton balls you might want to put vaseline on your cotton balls,,,,,don’t hold your ferro rod so high the closer to your fire starter you are the better you are put your cotton ball on a piece of wood put the end of the rod next to your cotton ball and strike
I knew you could do it. Yayyy! You're more adventurous than I ever was!I'm all about comfort and ease when I camp. I take along a double air mattress, an instant tent and a portable gas grill 😂 You're roughing it for sure!
Really enjoying your videos. We hope to get a truck tent this year. We moved to the U.P. Of Michigan last spring and after our first winter back in the snow (we moved from Jacksonville,FL) we’re ready to get back to camping and exploring! Keep up the good work!
@@TH-camHowTo we lived in Colorado before moving to Florida and we had Coachman travel trailer. We had to sell it when we moved to Florida because it would have cost too much to park it in a storage lot. From the research I’ve done the UP has tons of camping! I hope you do a video if you decide to camp here.
Good job on the fire! I was thinking you should have brought some cotton balls, when you suddenly added them. I sometimes get a cotton ball and spread vaseline/petroleum jelly on the cotton ball and place a few in a ziploc bag for the trip. Put a cotton ball in your kindling and it will burn for at least two minutes, even in light rain.
Another awesome video man! I love camping out of my truck! It's the best kind of camping you can do! You'll have to check my channel out! I just got done building my overland truck camper setup my f350. Me and my pup travel out of it together! Keep up with the awesome content!
I’ve been watching! I see you have a new one scheduled soon. I’ll be checking it out! I like the two dynamics of you channel, truck camping mixed in with abandoned places
@@TH-camHowTo Awesome! I've been loving your content lately too! Sometimes I wish I had a smaller truck like yours haha gets down smaller trails. I've gotta watch what I go down sometimes.

This is what I will try next time! I’ve heard it from a couple people. Thanks for the advice and trying to help a newcomer!

Thanks Rick! I believe a purchase in the near future will be a little camping pad. That truck bed was rough on me

Cool video. Put the ferro rod closer to what you are attempting to light.
Thanks for the help!
You will get er done! 😃
You are surprisingly correct!

@@TH-camHowTo find some fat wood cut it up to small sticks wonderful fire starter
Watch the David West Channel
I like the truck! Haha you’ll get the hang of ferro rod fire starts
I appreciate it! I’ve gotten a little better since lol
@@TH-camHowTo well, I got some ferro rod trick videos on my channel if it helps!
@@AlaskanFrontier1 I’ll be sure to check you out!
@@TH-camHowTo thanks dude. I’ve been enjoying your content. And of course you got your Tacoma in the best color
@@AlaskanFrontier1 just looked at your channel a little bit ago and saw a Tacoma of the same color! I subscribed!

My dad is from Michigan and the UP is one of my dream destinations for camping!

@@paulpeschiera6038 I absolutely will!

I was very lucky to have brought the cotton! Wouldn’t have started it without!
Gotta get closer to your tinder bundle. But remember that the tinder bundle is what matters most. "Great tinder bundle = less work" 😆
I’m still working on this lol. I’m getting some better sparks though!
You will find tricks that fit you when starting a fire and you will find a lot of things that will fit your needs and no body else's
Thanks for the words! I like that outlook. A lot of people sometimes think their way or the highway
Crash my drone. No a big deal as long as you still alive and kicking broh. Drone can always be replaced but not u. Nice video!
Yessir! That’s exactly the mindset I tried to have to keep from being discouraged
You need to get closer.
Thanks for the comments and advice!
Well it's a shame that you caught flack for it, but you're good! As for people talking junk...good luck with that!
Yea there will always be people to rain on your parade, but can't let it get you down!
@@TH-camHowTo nope!
Me and my cousin hit the dock and the drone fell about 6-7ft into the lake. I think I have a video of in on my channel
My heart was broken lol. It’s out for repair now
What park was you in
This was in Pisgah National Forest
You can do it my wife can do it
I did it!
Hey let me know to where and I'll send you a real MRE so you can eat it for your next video.
Thank you for the offer! I actually just got one in the mail that I ordered! I have a pretty good idea for the video

@@TH-camHowTo for sure! We’ll definitely have to do that!
Another great one! We all learn with you, it's cool! Just followed your Instagram. Keep it up!
Thank you for the continued support!
