Great video! Just a tip, take a flat file and touch up the 90° on the spine of your knife and it will make those scrapings a lot easier. Also when you stike your rod, plant your hand and pull your rid back to you. It makes it a lot easier to aim your sparks and you dont risk accidentally hitting your tender with your hand or knife. Are you using a mora? They are great knives.
Up north we call fatlighter as fatwood. I have seen people use a shirt or small canvas when they process the cedar, to save even the smallest pieces. Keep up the good video work.
excellent and practical 👍

Thank you. That’s a good idea.
Great video. I like the way you teach, without your ego getting in the way, like a lot of content creators.
Thanks!
Yeah, you can tell he just wants to share his knowledge, and that's a great thing.
Cool video. I don't have much in the way of fat wood here, but I do have a lot of birch bark.
Birch bark works great. I haven’t seen very much birch bark here
