I've been watching bushcraft videos for a couple years now. (Including many of yours!!) Congratulations!! You made a video showing something, that I am almost certain, nobody else has ever shown!! Great job!!
Depends where you live. Here in So. Calif, we use the Milkweed Ovum for flint & steel as a common occurrence. Takes the low grade sparks well. Also it's a common topic on the Bushcraft USA forum. All that aside, Dan does some excellent videos!
You show here a natural no char method. I have been watching this Father & Son team from out west, known as Wilderness Strong Channel where they've actually found several basic natural plant materials which take to flint & steel when processed properly. They used processed plants like Mugwort, Stinging nettle, Water leaf, Burdock, and about 1 dozen other common plants which readily take to sparks in a few strikes. It is revolutionary what they have done. This here is revolutionary. The more options you have and the better prepared you are the more you stand to succeed in a survival situation.

Milkweed is one of the most awesome "visual wind check" while hunting. The wind will carry the little fibers and allow you to see direction, speed, currents, up/down drafts, et cetera. Having a resealable baggie, plastic pill bottle or other water tight container of the full dried pods is very handy.
An excellent substitute for char. Just goes to show that even an old hiveranno like me can learn something new. In the black powder community, we will make ‘rub-cloth’. Take your cotton material (I like to take used gun cleaning patches) and get it wet. Then rub some black powder into it. When it dries, it’s better than char-cloth. No need to carry a metal tin or build a fire first. Even if it gets wet again, it will work after it dries out. Best part..... when you are blowing your bundle into flames, it smells like fireworks. 😎
David West channel shows how to use wood ash rubbed into cotton cloth that will smolder like char. He's a wizard. Hundreds of vids on fire making. To quote THE MAN, "The more you know, the less you need".😳
Very thinly shaved mullein stalk will take a spark from flint & steel as well. Like the milkweed ovum, it must be dry. You can get many fire starts from a fairly short length of stalk. I keep a chunk along with other tinders in my kit.
Michael L. Hoel Nice video, very informative. Milkweed is one of my very favorite bushcraft plants. It makes excellent cordage, rivaling nylon in strength, young shoots, flowers, and green pods are edible. The fluff from winter pods, like yours, also makes a great fire starter. Place a pinch of fluff at the base of a tinder bundle. Direct a flint spark or fire rod spark at it and it will burst into flame like gasoline. The flash is very quick, but if positioned with the right tinder it will ignite dry grass or cedar fluff instantly. Fluff from other winter weed sources, like golden rod flowers, will also work, but is more laborious to gather. I will add your technique to my bushcraft knowledge. Thanks.
Before I started watching your videos I never even knew about flint and steel, char, or char cloth. For many years I've always been starting fires with very volatile material and just a spark from flint. I really appreciate your ability to make something very simple and teachable. That is a gift.
I have never seen milkweed here in Western Washington. I just checked, and it turns out we have zero native species. They only exist east of the Cascades (Eastern WA), so it was really interesting to learn about a plant I wasn't familiar with. Thank you for the clear visuals!
I was just thinking the same, never see milkweed here in the Willamette Valley or anywhere from the coast to the top of the Cascades, just out near Bend and east from there.
AWESOME LESSON! As someone with tons of experience and also do an open to public lean-to at mississinewa 1812 I've never heard of seen of this and am excited to go try!!! Tks
Informative video and valuable to know should anyone ever find themselves in a survival situation. I haven't seen this demonstrated before and wonder if there are other substitutes for char? Thank you.
a comment above mentions a channel called wilderness strong. they outline about a dozen plants that can be used to catch a spark when you have no charred material
did not know this from the flint and steel aspect - thanks again for another tool - of course, it gets added to my other lists too - Ferro rod, lighter, etc. cause where I am at and knowing milkweed well, it will stay dry in some cases where other tinder will not - can't wait to give this a try
Just recently started buskcrafting and leaning a lot of tricks even if some of it is old, it's new to me. Thanks to you Dan and a few others on TH-cam. Thanks. Oh, BTW Sunday we may get snow and I may get a chance to use this stuff in more severe weather than usual.
Tinder flash, burns at a higher temperature than steel and chalcedony sparks. What is in the soil that deposited on the flower? Or are farmers intervening? Great video👏👏 Thank you😁👊🙏🍻🔥🔥🔥
Awesome videos. I live in NE Ohio, about a mile West from PA and I-80. Can't wait to build a fire in the snowstorm they are predicting. Haven't had much of a winter this year and I hope we get what they say we got coming.
That is neat. I've never seen this way before. I was thinking that you could also use tinder fungus or horseshoe fungus also. And the last alot longer. But I do like this milkweed trick. Thanks.
FYI - milkweed is the only host plant for the monarch caterpillar and it is essential to the survival of the monarch butterfly, which is on the verge of listing as either an endangered or threatened species. Please consider planting milkweed to support this butterfly, an important pollinator species. Expanding milkweed plantings is probably the most important action you can take to assist in the recovery of the monarch.
I keep some of the fluffy stuff in my fire kit but I didn't know that about the ovum. Thanks so much I love watching you I always learn something no matter how old I am. Just another tool for the kit. Thanks again have a great day stay safe and keep your powder dry!
Man your a big inspiration... thing is always been outdoorsy but ever since I started watching the Alone show I've had an itch... turns out YOU were there!! Only finding that out after I binge watch all your stuff and have been trying them out myself and one day I was watching alone and I was like NO WAY COULD IT BE? IT IS!! YOU DID AMAZING BROTHER!! P.S I tweaked the fat wood and did a feather stick at the end were the residue is heavy and made a torch during winter!! Thanks man!!! Keep the content rolling
As much as I would love to use this as an alternative. I live in Texas, Central Texas, and here we have to find other things to use as tender. So my advice is this, go out into your local area and look around for things that have a high probability of catching a spark from your fire making tools. Experiment with them and whichever one's work best, put them in a ziplock bag and took it away and your bag. Another good option that I use is I will take dryer lint from out of the screen of my dryer and put it in a ziplock bag. I have used it many a times out camping. You just pull it apart and thin it out and it catches a spark very quickly! And it doesn't just smolder it starts to actually ignite into fire. But the best thing you can take away from this video is know your environment and know what alternatives you have available to you from your environment.
@@ahayseed654 I use those to put in my ammo cans and my magazine bag to absorb the moisture. I try to reuse whatever I can! But that is a great idea to use them for as well!👍🏼
milkweed ovum, polypores, chaga, stinging nettle, there are several options for non-char flint and steel, all of the previous will take a spark from flint and steel without charring.
How about making a couple videos on what to expect when coming to you bushcraft classes. A lay out of the gear list and maybe some alternatives of some of the gear. Or if you already have a video of this, point me in the right direction. Thanks keep up the awesome content
Another example of stuff you have in the lowlands that we lack up here in the Rockies. I just never forget Char. Maybe we have an equivalent that I am not aware of?
A little black powder, even the synthetic stuff can help as a starter also... Most dry grass will light right off a spark too if its dry enough. Ive soaked cotton patches in black powder slurry too, that works well, just nothing left to salvage char wise from those patches, definitely not something you want in your hands as a fire starter. Lol but it works well.
I discovered these last summer as they can have so much fluff coming out in the late summer you could fill a grocery bag standing in one spot. Now I know about the most interesting part of these...
That's really cool man! I was always wondering about that if you didn't have char cloth what would you do. Not sure if we have those in my neck of the woods though. We call milk weed different where I live. If you snap the stem on the milk weed back home it has a milky substance inside it. And I believe it has medical properties too. I'd have to relearn about that though....lol. Thanks for the info man. Great video as always
I've never been able to make a fire with this - thats just me though. What I can do reliably is friction fire with a bow drill, but it takes at least an hour to gather materials, make the kit and get a fire going. Whereas if milkweed is available and you can pull it off, it might just be a few minutes. Or a few minutes wasted. I'd probably consider it plan C.
or Chaga. There's probably hundreds of other materials but non of us tried to turn some bark or resin into powder. Actually I did but it doesnt count with ferro rod
Whaaaat? "At some point they are also edible." Never heard that one before. Hope you can elaborate on that bit of info sometime soon. Thanks for sharing Dan, you're the best.
@@parnold-mora8924 That is what I have done. I change the water after a few minutes of boiling and boil again to remove any excess tanins. I'm not sure if the pod itself is ever very palatable or edible for that matter
The ovum is also a perfect place to practice your glass skills with the sun and the magnifying glass cuz it will spark then switch it to your bird's nest
Hello from British Columbia 🇨🇦🎄🌲 I was unsuccessful in my char attempt in the oven... although wrapped tightly in aluminum foil it was starting to smoke. I was a little concerned about the smoke detector going off so I took it outside...it was not even as dark as an Oreo 😭😒
I've not seen this method before. How the hell can that be when milkweed is a common resource & somehow I missed it. Thanks for the new ignition option, Dan.
That was awesome Dan!!! I have never thought of using that !! Could we use the fluff from a cattail too ? Anyways great tool for the toolbox ! Take care and stay safe my friend!!
Cattails work but you can't use it like an ember. It's more of a flash tinder and burns really fast. But if you have enough dry materials with it, you can easily light a fire with Cattails and some good sparks.
This is a question I’ve asked myself more than once without sufficient answer, thank you. Are there any other natural sources you can use for char-less flint and steel fire?
If you can find Chaga fungus in your area it will take spark. I'm testing as many local fungi as I can find, with mixed results. But, heh, it's Bushcraft practice for a survival scenario. Like carving a TRY stick. The more you practice, the more natural it becomes. Love a challenge. Try untangling a ball of string. Good use for we, with OCD. Seriously, consistent practice, like whittling on the back step, builds confidence & muscle memory. Better than clicking channels cause there's nothing worth watching.😎
@@evanf1443 just FYI if you find a source of Chaga, you will make more selling that as a mushroom for health enthusiasts, supposed to be good for idk what, but you'll get waaaay more money than even if you sold as tinder to other Bushcrafters. Good luck hunting and foraging!

Wow. Thank you or this. I have used chaga to catch a spark , but wasn't aware of this material's capability . One more tool in the box !
I learn more from you via these short videos than from anyone else. Keep up the good work.

that intro blew my mind. gonna have to sit down for a bit.

You can use stinging nettle fibers also even green fibers after they have been dried for 2 hours and compressed.
Thanks, Dan!

Milkweed is invasive in Holland, so I might be able to try this soon!
Milkweed can also be processed into cordage while it’s still green similar linen. I’ve seen primitive bows that use milkweed to make the bow string.

Hey Dan! Cool! Great video! Thanks!
We have a lot of milkweek in my area. Going to have to try that trick. Thanks you
You come up with the best ideas.
Milkweed ovum is very good and I've also used the pith of mullein and sunflower when I couldn't find milkweed and had nothing else with me.
I’ve never seen that one before. Thanks 🇨🇦👍
In addition to milkweed, also: great burdock leaves, stinging nettle, and waterleaf (dried and processed) - credit to Wilderness Strong

Awesome! Thanks 👍
🇺🇸🙋♀️🐴🍃 Pretty cool! But I think there's different types of milkweed, cuz the ones around here don't grow pods like that.
I want to see you do the water harvesting trick of digging a hole and placing plastic over the hole.

Flint and steel what luxury. Back in my day you had to rub sticks together to make a fire ;-)

Thank you
Great video, Thanks
Hey, now that it is winter and the ground is frozen, can you address tent stake tips? You cannot drive them into frozen ground
Thank you! I was wondering if milkweed would be any good as a firestarter (I played with the seed pods a lot as a kid) but I hadn't tested it yet
Cool. Thanx for sharing. Have you ever fire rolled them ?
How well does that ember transfer to another tinder source to extend the coal?
👍 great. Thanks again
Good one, very good.
Nice job.!
Now does the milkweed piece have to be center over and near the edge of the flint when strinking? I couldn't see it that well. It looks pretty close.
Just wish the was a birds-eye-view. I am going to try this out. Thanks. Great TH-cam!
