You give us sooooo much really usable information sir!!! Thanks much for everything you do. I'm a old fat guy that's been fighting lukemia a long time. I'm getting all fired up about camping again and showing my son's how we used to do it. You give me great information to get started again. Blessings my friend 😇 🇺🇸
willem defaq thanks, I've been fighting it for 20 year's. It's CGL. the fight goes on till it's over. I'm blessed to live this long my friend 😇 thanks much
Great explanation of an invaluable skill. Once a person gets good at this, they can make a fire no matter what mother nature throws their way. I think a lot of people are going to find this very helpful. 👍👍👍
You make really good, informative videos and can be quite an amusing fella. Thanks. So many people feel it’s hopeless to find dry tinder in the wet woods. Dan you turn bush noobs into Bush crafters
Thank you for all of your great videos, still studying in the city so I can't really spend alot of time in the wood, but im still learning awsome stuff from you. Thank you again and greetings from Montreal!
This is where the skill and practice of "whittling" comes in handy. Learn to carve and whittle a little....it will increase your dexterity to get fine shavings. Also....gather much more than you think you need...make more shavings than you think you need. More is better in this situation.
I love featherstickin. It’s my primary method of making fires. I need to practice doing it from the start like this and one stick’in it now that I have the featherstick technique down. Awesome awesome perspective AGAIN! learning so much from you Dan!!
A simple tool that can be used to make shavings quickly and easily can be found in your kitchen drawer, a potato peeler. Also, while you're in the kitchen or rummaging through your camp groceries you'll find some excellent fire starting aids: cooking oils, meat fats, oils from your tuna or sardine can or from the top of your peanut butter jar, potato chips, wax paper. Think along these lines and you will probably find many more item that can be used in small amounts to get a fire started.
Very clear & concise demo. Your videos are so encouraging. You don't need tons of "$$$ gear" or to be "Daniel Boone" (who's that?). Just, "KISS" - Keep It Simple Stup ...er...Saint ;-) Take a break from the "rat race". Start in your yard or patio, practice a little. Then, get out there, relax, be safe, have some fun and enjoy nature! Thanks for the info.
Always good to practice this. Thankfully, I'm rather spoiled up here, as it rarely rains and I'm surrounded by birch. LOL. Still good to practice, though.
I plan on doing a video for my channel soon where i give you a shout out and try your friend corn fritter recipie..but since i am a southern boy..it's gonna be corn meal instead of flour..thanks for having a good channel

Are you gonna be okay?

Now days children only know technology. They need to learn some real skills for real life. Prayers for you and your family.
Using the inside of dead, dry, down timber is a fantastic idea. Thanks for this video!
I need to do this. Not so much for the fire building itself.... but to learn to slow down. Take my time. And relax!

Once again. Another great video with content that might save someone’s life someday. Hats off.
What a novel idea, using an axe to split wood. Here, I thought you had to baton it with your knife! 😊
Another great vid! Thanks, Dan. 👍👍
Nice!
Straight to the point!
Thx Dan!!
I've seen so many YTubers do this, but you are the only one I've seen to explain it in such detail from beginning to end. Thanks!

Great tip regarding shavings v feather sticks.
Very informative and educational. Thank you very much

Great tip for fire in the wet rainy weather bro!!
Nice tutorial....pretty brave tettering your fire on a log for the demo....worked out nicely though...

Bushcraft North of 60 it's awesome to see amazing Bushcrafters like your selves watching videos. Thanks much for all you do!! Blessings 😇🇺🇸
MrSIXGUNZ no problem! I'm no expert, just learning more about what I love.
Great video, Dan! I was curious if you could get a spark from a Ferro rod to catch some shavings that are not fat wood. Good stuff man!
Yes this wasn’t fatwood
500th like btw great content
And IF you have access to fat wood, one can use the spine on your knife and make shavings or scrapings.
like the video and a good intro..safe journeys
I plan on doing a video for my channel soon where i give you a shout out and try your friend corn fritter recipie..but since i am a southern boy..it's gonna be corn meal instead of flour..thanks for having a good channel
Nice vid
Thank you for a vid
Good information Dan
I'd like to know what type of knife is you're using? Also do you have other knives on you when you're out camping and making these videos?
Any particular wood that works better
thanks Prof. what are your thoughts on scrapings?
Scrapings are great also
Something tells me you went thru SERE training
