Clay, I don't know why you don't have over a million subscribers. You know what you're talking about and prove it by living/practicing it. Too many spew their ideas without ever putting them into practice. Keep up the great videos!
Because it takes years and years to get noticed build momentum and then build a huge subscriber base. I'm growing at 10% plus per month and it's still going to take me 5 years to get to that number
For some reason i can not create a comment. But i wanted to say.. i think a big misconception with ferrocirium rods. Is due to them condstantly being called "flint sticks" wich implys a completly different method of use. Flint is struck with steel. A ferro rod can create soarks from anytthing sharp scraping particles off.
@@Valorius hey man I have some questions about the channel is it worth making a TH-cam channel of my now making process i have seen your videos you kinda touch a bit of everything
There's almost nothing better than good quality dirt time out in nature with your lady and/or your little ones. Your wife seems like a very special woman based upon what you mentioned about her in your book and how much interest she takes in those things that are important to you. Thanks for the great video, it was insightful as always.
This makes me giggle so much today... yesterday I tried lightning my brasero with a rod for the 1st time... with dampish tinder... watching this, I understand I wasn't generating enough sparks quick enough... I had a real hard time and at one stage said outloud "I'm certainly no frikkin Clay Hayes at this!"... so your video is very timely, thank you.
@@clayhayeshunter yup... the 'wringing' of the tinder bundle is a great step to add and i shall scrape off some rod into the budle beforehand next time... i have a log burner at home, i'lll force myself to light that with a rod for a week as practice
It's midnight and raining here in Australia and I'm just about to go and light a fire at my camp and brew up some hot chocolate. I'll have to use my Ferro rod to start it now.
Great video. I have watched thousands of bushcraft videos, and there is such a difference from watching a less experienced and skilled youtuber and a well seasoned one that lives it. The confidence comes across the camera. Well done brother.
Love the content including your wife. Her perspective when learning might be very relevant and interesting to my adult daughters. Women often see things and processes differently (sometimes better!) than we do. 👍🏼
I love that you did all this with a humble folding multitool. I prefer to carry a sturdy fixed blade in the woods in addition to my multitool, but it's always nice to be reminded that most camp-chores can be accomplished with just a Leatherman. Well done.
I've been using that trick for really wet days, of scrubbing off ferro shavings into a little 'fireworks stand' for a good decade now. Works wonders! Somehow you're the first other outdoorsman/survivalist I've heard mention it til now too?! I do find the 6" rods are mountains easier to control and use though, especially with frozen hands and a tired brain. Not to mention they last 'forever', especially if/when you drop one on the trail or around camp and can see that bright 550 cord you tied in the lanyard hole! That old Vaseline cotton ball idea can be a messy hassle if it lets loose inside your pack. Unroll the cotton balls into straight pieces (logs!🙃) and dip them in melted wax. They stay waterproof then, so you can have them loose in your pack with the ferro rod and to use them just "snap" about an inch off one end... Opening up bone dry cotton fibers that you can fluff up even more if you want, into a giant candle wick of sorts. One fine pissing rain WA day out hunting I got sick of being soggy. I told my buddy I was going to start a fire to dry out and he let out a solid laugh! 15 minutes of prep work later and he was amazed what a waxed cotton ball can do.
Excellent tutelage brother! You might also consider recommending hair or beard trimmings, lint scraped from cotton clothing, and larger tinder crushed with rocks for fine tinder. Additionally, fine plastic shavings are a good accelerant for less than optimum fine tinder. One other thing, (sorry to run on), an empty Bic in a closed fist creates a devastating weapon and can still be used to spark fine tinder lightly coated in accelerant. Keep up the good work, knowledge of the truth is power!
I like to use a cotton ball + an individual serving packet of instant coffee ( a Fire Roll) Once i get the fire going, there are a couple of extra packets of coffee and a water bottle full of water so i might as well go ahead and make a cup of coffee and set back and admire my warm fire....
I'm in the UK. EVERYTHING is always damp! When I'm walking I collect good tinder as I go and put it into my inside chest pockets to dry by the time I set up camp. Clematis seed heads or Birch bark finely shaved are what I'm currently using. This is a great instructional video.
I have encountered some ferro rods with a coating on them...kinda like paint. You have to scrape that coating off before you start getting sparks. Test your ferro rod before you put it down into your tinder to make certain you are getting a good shower of sparks. 😊😊😊
Hello from Finland 👋 I always have my fire rod with me. I'm using it when I'm hiking or camping 🏕️ I don't care about matches even I might have them too with me . Nice Job with your videos 👍
If you only have a bic lighter and it runs out of fuel, you can use the method shown at 6:30. The lighter contains a thin ferrorod. Just spin the wheel ever so slowly while holding the lighter upside-down so that the dust can fall onto your tinder.
Thanks for the vid. Got a survival kit for Christmas from my son that has a ferro rod. He knows I'm in to making fire. I've used a fire piston on char cloth and amadou (horses hoof fungi) which is here in the Northeast but need to practice my ferro rod skills. Looks much easier. again THANKS for the vid. :-) and Happy New Year. Just subbed.
Pretty basic, but simplicity is key. That was a good troubleshoot for someone who might have difficulties starting a fire with a ferrorod. I mostly use flint and steel in my videos but always carry bic lighters and ferrorod(s) 😅
I carry 3 lighters. When they get wet, they still work, I have proved this over and over with people. Soak it in water, shake it off and strike a flame.
Hey Clay! Sorry to say I have only recently found your channel..... I'm watching you from over here in the UK. Simply awesome and so interesting videos. Very jellous of you living in such wonderful surroundings. Keep up the great work! 👍
I've always found wind to be more of a problem than rain, you can always work under the tarp in the rain, but particularly with loose tinder the wind can really take the piss.
I like to wrap one end of my ferro rods in duct tape to make a knob that you can hold on to. Then if you are dealing with damp or stubborn materials you can remove some of the duct tape and make a bundle of thin strips that you can ignite with the ferro rod. The duct tape will burn hot enough to ignite the damp kindling.
I watched you and Liz. My daughter did the same thing. I showed her the pull technique I saw some where. I know all about fero-rods... kinda. Probably couldn't have started a fire with one until recently from watching your videos. It's on my this year to do list. That and a friction fire. Can't wait for the next lesson. I already subscribe to Liz's channel so I'll pop over there.
Just for those who don't already know this, you can also put Ferro particles on your tinder bundle using a Bic lighter. Just turn the ignition wheel at a slower speed that doesn't produce spark and you'll be able to add the particles to your bundle as an accelerant. It actually works, and is helpful when the tinder is sub-par or somewhat damp.
I consider myself very proficient with a ferro rod…. If I were to teach someone how to use one, this video would be where I would direct them. Excellent job, I love the channel, keep them coming.😊
Hello Clay, grateful for the advice and videos you provide. My area is "similar" to the Florida swamps, from what I saw in videos, very humid. Well, as a way to contribute something, what I use as tinder when everything is wet due to rain storms, or as a node for fire by friction, is the internal part of the shells of dry trees such as willow, or alders, peeling off and massaging, they form fine shavings, like threads, which are flammable and are protected from moisture. greetings from 🇦🇷
You are such a good teacher, that’s why I subscribed ages ago I’ve learned so much from you, and I thought I knew heaps, thank you for putting you knowledge and wisdom out there for the world to learn, thank you again and bless you.
Really good video for most people. I carry "Prepared Tender" for wet weather! I have practiced in wet weather! I do know where to fine DRY tinder in wet weather.
In my US Army Aviation survival training we found it hard to beat our issue magnesium bar faro rod combo as it most always has the capability to get a fire started with sometimes conditions called for a hotter flame to get a fire started so now I always have a issue magnesium fire starter in my pocket plus when I'm in the Backcountry I carry a large faro rod
The biggest difference I've found with a ferro rod's ease of use is the striker. Softer rods are more forgiving on "bad" strikers, but a plain stamped steel striker (like the standard überleben style, not the ambi one) seem to work very well on both hard and soft ferro, mainly due to the natural burr formed and accentuated through the stamping and finishing process. My recommendation is to buy the cheapest rods you can find fitting the dimensions you want, then buy a handful of stamped steel strikers on the cheap - and/or file your knives' spines down to facilitate easy striking. It becomes a little trickier if you want a rod handle. In that case you'd be better off buying a name brand US or Euro set to avoid the rod slipping out or the handle cracking.
So, like this just showed up somehow in my feed. Watched it. Loved it. I’ve watched others explain their take on using a ferro rod. Compared to your techniques, I learned so much more valuable information. Thanks. Time to subscribe 😊
Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge, skills and passion. You're a great teacher. I appreciate the time, effort and dedication you put into each one of your videos.
ferro rods are relatively easy to understand and bigger is always better, my preferred one is a 10"x 1/2" and a dedicated scraper, I use an 8% cobalt (65HRC) high-speed lathe bit (200mm x 8mmx8mm), slow and steady in the stroke-like peeling a carrot and taking as much of the rod as you can. Tinder preparation is next as far as Tinder is concerned. If I can I always try for fatwood, fatwood fluff is almost a perfect tinder and takes a spark easily and burns wet or dry.
Try pinning the bundle of dust / tinder under the fire starter and then strike vertically. In my experience it works 95% of the times and tinder doesn't fly away. Plus, most of the sparks fall in the tinder bundle.
You might want to add (in another edit, another video) that you need to scrape of the outer coating. I had never seen anyone use a ferro rod before, just heard about them, and I thought that coating _was_ the thing to light with and tried really hard not to scrape it off ... Until I saw another UK video demonstrating how he removed the coating first :D
I don't even understand people who mock carrying a ferro rod. I guess it's a reminder that a lot more people than we think don't understand the basics of 'survival'.
Bruh at around 1:55 you straight up rip the dry grass with your bare hands. How do you do this without cutting your hands up and getting grass splinters in your skin? My second question is do you think you would still be able to get your grass to light if your ferro rod was not immediately adjacent to the grass? I guess I'm asking this because I feel like I can only generate huge sparks when I maybe 4 to 5 in away from my material and although those Sparks are landing inside of my material I never get them to ignite. Seems like the main difference between your technique and mine is that your feral ride is touching your tinder and you're doing repetitive quick strokes back and forth bombarding the tinder with sparks.
I carry two Bic lighters in case I need fuel from one to get a fire started in wet conditions. Ferro rod with magnesium like the one you're using is the best. The more you do, the more you know.!
Amazing how many people use ferro rods backwards! Hold the knife/scraper steady and aim the sparks at a SPECIFIC target, then pull the ferro rod out from under the blade and it will shoot ALL the spark straight into that spot. Try it and you'll quickly see what I mean.
Can you please demonstrate these skills in the pouring rain without the use of a tarp or cover? Also can you please demonstrate how to make clothing with nothing but primitive materials.

Great tips with those Ferro rod shavings and fluffing the tinder. Good job, care for details as a pro.
Glad it was helpful!
Super helpful tips here, Clay. Definitely will be practicing these. Thank you. Curious, what kind of First Lite pants are you wearing in this video?
How long does a regular length Ferro rod last like the one used in this video
You’d have to start a lot of fires to use one up.
Try pinning the bundle of dust / tinder under the fire starter and then strike vertically. In my experience it works 95% of the times and tinder doesn't fly away. Plus, most of the sparks fall in the tinder bundle.

Hi Clay, great video and channel. Do you do product reviews?
The end is near. 10:51
Great demo Clay.
I enjoy your and Liz's videos. Do have a question, are all ferro rods created equal?
That I’m not sure. I’ve heard there are differences in the hardness but I’ve never seen enough to make much of a difference.
Thanks for this; I am quite good with flint and steel but I am embarrassingly bad with ferro. Now I know why! it is the absolute opposite.
Hey there! Great video! Would you mind going over some ferro rod maintenance too? Sealers and whatnot to prevent rusting
I've never seen one rust.
Great video. It gets easier with practice.
Yes it does!
Informative video, but I prefer the one about bowhunting. Your bowhunting videos are the best.
For some bowhunting stuff in the hopper.

Have you used some of those magnesium bars or strips? Thanks.
Excellent
You can tell this guy is a true outdoorsman by the beard.
Oh man what a technique I never thoguht about anchor and spamming the shi out of it. Didn’t realize I needed more pressure either
Turning a tinder bundle over is definitely a great tip to do!
Gotta get one of those!
Ferro rods are by far, the most spark you can get. They are awesome. Get a good ferro rod and a Morakniv knife, and you will always have fire
