You sir are the real deal. No BS, no flashy cool guy stuff, just passing along your knowledge to us all. Thanks to you and your wonderful wife. Keep them coming I am learning a ton.
Did see your previous video. That one and this, both have got practical hands on real world demonstration. Actually, that's the hall mark of your videos. No fancy editing, no special effects, nothing. Just smooth clean instructions. Regards to you both, especially your dear wife and camerawoman Connie, without whom it just wouldn't be the same. She is like the roots that nurture a tree, but are never seen. May you both and your families be blessed. Appreciate your time and efforts to make these videos. Thank you to you both. Atb, The Solo Hiker....
My husband and I want to let you and your wife know how much we appreciate your true expression of faith. It is so refreshing to finally find a channel that we can watch with our grandchildren without fear of little ears hearing something they should not.
My philosophy is that if it is not appropriate for little ears to hear then in all probability it probably is best for big ears not to wallow in it either.
A very real service to our community, sir ... really appreciate you and Connie letting us all look over your shoulders to keep true Bushcraft alive for future generations. God Bless you both
Love, love, love your videos! It's so refreshing to watch a video packed with real-life demonstrations and valuable information without the massive egos to go with it. No showing off the next big toy from the cool bushcrafters club. No commercials disguised as lessons. Just straightforward practical information and a real life demonstration (not staged or edited to look easier than it really is) given by folks who really know what they're doing. Lonnie and Connie, you've got the best bushcraft channel on YT. You'll never know how many lives (or outings) you've saved. I am a fan for life!
Three different individuals have commented in the past that their lives were saved due to what they have learned on the channel here so far. Perhaps there have been more that did not remember where their knowledge had come from or just haven't commented about their survival experience. However if even one life was saved it makes it worth it. Hopefully in the future these videos will continue to benefit our fellow mankind.
I always appreciate "real life" videos not staged. It shows green horns what to expect without making them feel that they are misunderstanding the instructions. I wish everyone did this.
Excellent vid! if it’s been raining look for sheltered tinder. Be it punk, birch bark, cedar bark.... pro tip: if it’s still raining keep that tinder dry when you’re trying to light it. Build a little A-frame out of ash bark or what ever you can find to keep it dry while you get it goin. One drop of rain will kill those little embers.
I watch so many channels which present very useful tips for outside survival, but there’s been none that I’ve learned as much from. A true role model in every sense of the term. Thanks again for sharing with us again. Incredible. 👍
punk wood is totally under rated.. i like how you have taught us that punk wood on its own can catch a spark, coalesce, into an ember and fanned properly with additions of come more crumbs will flame up. Other instructors have only shown charred punk wood but not dried its raw form. Looks to me with a little skill and practice you are in business, punk wood, birch bark, pine resin and you got flame for sure.. thanks for sharing .. i get a lot out of your videos .. thanks J
I was walking down the hallway at work some time ago. Out of nowhere, I hear Lonnie’s voice! I follow the sound and find a co-worker watching one of your videos. He’s one of your new subscribers. I sat and spoke with him for a while about bush crafting. It appears that the current state of our state has brought him to you.
You're right Bryan, Lonnie and his wife show that staying calm and relying on your common sense you can turn a bad situation around just about every time. It's one of the things I like best about their videos also.
I agree I'd love to camp with this cool guy ..and wife of course..I've always liked to hike in woods .mt marcy was awsome and the surrounding mts. I've always had a way to build a fire, but challenge myself to make it without tools first..this man is awsome with these vids
Thank you Lonie-san. Now I'm confident to find a punk wood in the wet condition. As you know we usually have a rainy season and its continued rainy day for a couple of weeks in Japan but it could be possible to find some dry punk wood if I look for at the appropriate spot.
I really wish I knew someone around here like you to take me under their wing and teach me what they know. You know so much about wilderness skills that it's astounding.
Great video -climate is pretty close to were I live in NZ except we dont have the benefit of birch bark or spruce bows . Most of the trees when they die also attract moisture so its almost impossible to start a fire with a ferro rod or even a match and you wouldnt even bother trying a bow drill. When I went to school we actually had the benefit of outdoor education being part of the curriculum -the places you were looking for punk wood is where we were taught to look for as a source of kindling. 45 years since its probably one of the only things I learnt at school that is still useful today. A box of waterproof matches a a piece of tire tube was the prescribed method of fire lighting and had such allocated to use when ever we ventured forth into the wild.
Always appreciate your videos Lonnie. Well presented, tried and true techniques, and always useful, potentially lifesaving info. Take a good look folks...this guy is the real deal. Forage for your needs, buy used, make it yourself, or improvise. Notice that super cool $400 knife he carries?...uh...no. For the uninitiated, that is about a $12 Mora...not even full tang. Watch and learn. Thank you Lonnie and Connie!👍👍👍👍
Hi Lonnie, Another one of your good videos that show that a little knowledge and a cool head will get most of us through a tough spot. Thanks to you and your bride for keeping it simple and straight forward.
Great job you guys.. I have friends whom are supposed to be prepers.. Had no idea that punk wood or char-cloth worked so well. Save your old Bic lighters; if they still spark you can start a fire.
Great video Lonnie. A lot of folks practice fire starting, but only on nice, sunny days. Most don't want to stand out in the rain and practice, but too often that is the weather you really need a fire in.
I've added it to spruce brush and kindling to start a fire, just never tried it alone. We're spoiled with conifers, pitch and birch bark. I have a couple dozen egg carton bottoms to make into firestarters with dryer lint and wax. Think I'll try a few with roughed up punk wood and a few with thin shavings from my block plane. I suspect the punk wood and wax should burn quite a while. Hurricane Juan went through the area 16 years ago and laid down many trees. Perfect now for punkwood. They are easy to find close to me. Perfect timing. Thanks for showing us. Cheers.
I love it. I think people underestimate the usefulness of punkwood. For me it's a go to for many things like Solar ignition. Transportation of fire from one locale to another. Great video Lonnie as always. Oh and great job on those camera skills too Connie. Y'all be safe. Until next time may you never run out of Adventure and Wonder.
That’s cool Lonnie and Connie. Looks like you put a point on your Ferro rod like David West’s channel showed. It makes a big difference pinning down stubborn tinder in windy conditions . Thank you for another great video.
I do have a point on my ferro rod but it formed through use rather than intention. I started out striking in the middle of the length of the rod and the rod eventually became so thin in the middle that the tip busted off leaving me with a new pointed end. Now I continue to use the rod by striking on it's new end thus perpetuating the continuation of the pointed end. When I get a new rod, when ever that may be, I will know better and begin by striking on the end right from the start.
good follow up video, since watching the last video I knew of punk wood but never thought much about it but the last couples times out on the trails I've been looking for sources of where to find I now
10 min after your last Video about Punk Wood I'm in the Brandenburg Woods and test it out...and it works great. Thank you teaching Lonnie 😉 All the Best for you and Connie from 🇩🇪
I’ve been following you for quite sometime, I as well have been practicing for 40 +yrs in the shadows. I really enjoy your videos, you keep shit real.. I have learned more from you and Connie than anyone else. God bless! Just a heads up I too with a friend will be posting videos of real survival situations. Thank you for staying true! Much love.
Thank you both for your videos, it is always so relaxing, that I sometimes feel like I want to change my current path by going to Alaska and start a new life in the wilderness... And I was really impressed by your last example, that a single stroke sufficed to light a fire. The LORD Jesus Christ bless you both with health and give you help where needed.
Natural overhangs like where you seek punk wood are also great places to look for dry tinder as well. Great to point out the areas most might overlook for dry materials. Hope you guys are having a great Summer up there. Be well Professor! Woof Buck!
Great video. I wanted to share one trick that I have not seen on your videos: take a small tube of birch bark and fill it with bast of juniper bark that it sheads during summer (collecting it does not damage the tree) Add an ember to one end and blow.
Showing a different variety of trees and locations really did help visualise where to find this stuff.... I'll definately try to get some on my next trip to the woods and try this. Many thanks.
I'm binge watching your videos Lonnie, they're really comforting, perfect for a rainy evening in the UK. Congratulations to you both, I've learned so much!
Someday, when those who haven't taken the mark of the beast will need every bit of knowledge for survival, this knowledge will be treasured. I am sure that there are some watching who will still be here.
@Christopher Kavanaugh It is a strange thing how communicative you are concerning warning others not to communicate concerning God's Word. Jesus said that what is in the heart will come out of the mouth. I have God's Word in my heart and His Word comes out of my mouth and it flows out of my writings. The blessed hope, our coming rapture, is certainly worth writing about, and mocking it I would not do. I really cannot relate to those who sneak about concealing God's Word in the name of being religious. Religion will not save, nor good works. Only a personal relationship with God through our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ saves. The Pharisees were very religious and pious, but most of them knew not The LORD. I hope that you actually know Jesus and are not merely religious. When you know Jesus He is on your heart and you should speak about Him freely. Please do not cloak a lack of speaking forth God's Word as something that should be touted, for it should not. Doing loving works in Jesus Name is important, but to please God you must open up your mouth and confess Jesus. Per Jesus: Luke 12:8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: 9But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. Per Paul: Romans1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Like God is not in everything. There is not one thing or place that exists outside of His absolute presence. There is no knowledge or truth that is not upheld by His express will. You are religious, but your knowledge of God, His all encompassing Spirit, is very sadly lacking. You think He is neatly stuffed inside of your "religion" box. When you are within your "religious", self made boundaries you let Him out. How big of you!
@Christopher Kavanaugh Mat 6:6 is referring to pray. Do you have a prayer closet? When you pray in a closet to God, in Jesus Holy Name, you are cementing that extremely personal and intimate relationship and fellowship between you and The LORD. It is not to be an act of religion, but an act of love between you and God. It sets the stage for the rest of your day, molded in God's Spirit and love, because you have intimately communed with Him. It is not to be thrown around as an excuse to not go forth with His Word on your lips, as the other verses I already shared with you show forth very clearly we are to do. Religion cannot save you. You must come to the person of Jesus Christ to be saved. And by the way every concept in The Bible is worth repeating. The rapture is very soon to come. The people who will try to survive without the mark of the beast will be glad for every piece of survival information they were privy to. For them it may mean the difference between life and death. For them it won't be "religion", it will be their daily reality.
@Christopher Kavanaugh Real nice. People resort to insults and labeling when they don't have anything else. I don't think I would want to show up at your "feast". I know, you wouldn't want to invite me. You need to step out of religion and into a more living fellowship with Jesus Christ. I shall be at The Lamb's wedding feast. How about you?
Excellent video, usually I tend to look down for punkwood rather than up, if you had used a lighter or mixed in a bit of pine pitch that would have flamed up
Nice to see this demonstration of punk-wood in wet conditions for our region, will be trying it for the 2nd time ever. The first was a successful hunt in dry conditions, it felt great to get it to flame in the tinder bundle. But, maybe it was one time lucky, 2nd time, well, we will see. Thank you & all the best!
You guys are awesome been watching your videos sense you started. All of them have been filled with info that is truly amazing. Thanks for doing them. Would love to come to Alaska and meet you God Bless and take care
I really enjoy your videos. Very calm, methodical and authentic. I spend quite a lot of time in the wilderness myself and still pick up tips and tricks. Also, can't beat a Mora when it comes to value for money. Great knives.
Good stuff Lonnie, Punk wood is a great tool to assist fire starting. Best of all its everywhere and you sure brought out some great tips on where to find it dry.
Most usefull video yet for me. Elk season ocean front Wa. can rain enough that a saw wont run. Yes that much water in the air. There was a year we had no fire. Wool clothing kept me good other than I became a giant raisin. 2 weeks/ 8 miles from logging road.
When I read Punk Wood I thought it was going to be the fungi that grows on the trees. We used that Fungi to smolder at moose and caribou camp as well as when fishing to keep mosquitoes away. I usually use Birch Bark to start a fire, this does look like another good source.
Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. It could save someone's life in a serious situation. Waiting for the next vid. my friend. God bless and take care out there.
Alway's directly on point with the camera, Connie. Brought to mind a quote from the late great Leonard Cohen... ''Canada watches America; like a woman watches a man.'' 72719
FNBAS is the only channel for which I instantly like/thumb up the video , before even watching it. Just in case I forget.
You sir are the real deal. No BS, no flashy cool guy stuff, just passing along your knowledge to us all. Thanks to you and your wonderful wife. Keep them coming I am learning a ton.

Great video on Punk wood.

Thumb up. As always.
Sometimes the simple things are the most beneficial for long term knowledge. Thanks!!!
kudos... good and simple... as life should be... thanks
Great stuff Lonnie. I love my punk wood and use it all the time. A very valuable material for fire starting 👍🌲
Hi Lonnie,
Another one of your good videos that show that a little knowledge and a cool head will get most of us through a tough spot.
Thanks to you and your bride for keeping it simple and straight forward.

Well done Lonnie! You explain things so well! If anyone has any question after these two video, they better bring a torch! Lol!!!
Another good one .
thanks lonnie wayne
Taking the time to provide a few examples, is always best for teaching. Thanks for going above and beyond with well thought-out content.
Thanks, Lonnie. I was really surprised at how well that caught a spark. I'll remember that.
Fantastic camera work! Always in the right place at the right time with the best angle. I never feel like i can't see what's going on! Thanks, Connie!
Lonnie and Connie, thanks for sharing, always excellent instructional videos , atvb and may our Father continue to bless you 👍
Thanks for this video Lonnie and Connie. I knew you could get down from there. I did enjoy this video. Have a great weekend and stay safe.
I love it. I think people underestimate the usefulness of punkwood. For me it's a go to for many things like Solar ignition. Transportation of fire from one locale to another. Great video Lonnie as always. Oh and great job on those camera skills too Connie. Y'all be safe. Until next time may you never run out of Adventure and Wonder.
That’s cool Lonnie and Connie. Looks like you put a point on your Ferro rod like David West’s channel showed. It makes a big difference pinning down stubborn tinder in windy conditions . Thank you for another great video.

Very cool Lonnie. My best to Connie.
Thanks fer sharin sir - hi to Connie and take care
Always sharing the knowledge. I love this channel.
Awesome video absolutely love all of your videos
Charged punk wood is awesome better then char cloth
10 min after your last Video about Punk Wood I'm in the Brandenburg Woods and test it out...and it works great. Thank you teaching Lonnie 😉 All the Best for you and Connie from 🇩🇪
Life saving tips Lonnie! Keep feeding us these tips...Learn someting new every video TY Sir..Heck of a woodsman!
I fought fires for the forest service and during mop up you could always count on punky logs for holding a smoke. Awesome vids.
Thanks Lonnie very useful info.
Always fantastic to see y'all :-) two 👍👍
I’ve been following you for quite sometime, I as well have been practicing for 40 +yrs in the shadows. I really enjoy your videos, you keep shit real.. I have learned more from you and Connie than anyone else. God bless! Just a heads up
I too with a friend will be posting videos of real survival situations. Thank you for staying true! Much love.
Great video Some really good ideas to remember.
Thank you both for your videos, it is always so relaxing, that I sometimes feel like I want to change my current path by going to Alaska and start a new life in the wilderness...
And I was really impressed by your last example, that a single stroke sufficed to light a fire.
The LORD Jesus Christ bless you both with health and give you help where needed.
Lonnie, you make an awesome narrator for Nat Geo or the Smithsonian channel! Thanks far the tips and tricks!
Agree, there's something about Lonnie's voice that makes you feel like you are there.
Natural overhangs like where you seek punk wood are also great places to look
for dry tinder as well. Great to point out the areas most might overlook for dry materials.
Hope you guys are having a great Summer up there. Be well Professor! Woof Buck!
Thanks Lonnie for another 'warts and all' informative video. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Thanks Lonnie, and Connie. Like most, I've used charred punk wood, but never really thought about using it "raw" for starting a fire. Good advice.
Have heard a lot about punk wood. Have not used it, checked into it, or seen it used. Thank you. Great, always useful information.
gonna have to get out and try this out
Great video. I wanted to share one trick that I have not seen on your videos: take a small tube of birch bark and fill it with bast of juniper bark that it sheads during summer (collecting it does not damage the tree) Add an ember to one end and blow.
Nice video Lonnie 👍. More great tips, on the use of FUNKY Punk wood 😉
Showing a different variety of trees and locations really did help visualise where to find this stuff....
I'll definately try to get some on my next trip to the woods and try this.
Many thanks.
I'm binge watching your videos Lonnie, they're really comforting, perfect for a rainy evening in the UK. Congratulations to you both, I've learned so much!
Thanks Lonnie for another great video! Feel free to do as many punk wood videos as you would like, Love them! Hi Connie!
Nice camera work, Connie! You two make a great team! Learned some things from this video. Thanks, Lonnie!

Thanks Lonnie. I missed that previous video so I am going back to check it out.
Hope you enjoy it.
Punk Wood - Backwoods Tips For Fire Use
th-cam.com/video/oWvm44cnhgs/w-d-xo.html
Great info! Have a good weekend!
Excellent video, usually I tend to look down for punkwood rather than up, if you had used a lighter or mixed in a bit of pine pitch that would have flamed up
Much of this would have flamed up had the humidity been dryer as well.
Love your videos Lonnie… You speak so clearly and methodically.. Love listening to you and learning…THANKS!!!
Great video on that punk wood tender fire. Learned a lot. Thanks for sharing, sir.
great advice
Always great to see you both. Hope you are both well.
Stay safe and God Bless.

That was great I never knew what punk wood was and how easy it was to start a fire by thank you and your wife
Nice to see this demonstration of punk-wood in wet conditions for our region, will be trying it for the 2nd time ever. The first was a successful hunt in dry conditions, it felt great to get it to flame in the tinder bundle. But, maybe it was one time lucky, 2nd time, well, we will see.
Thank you & all the best!
You guys are awesome been watching your videos sense you started. All of them have been filled with info that is truly amazing. Thanks for doing them. Would love to come to Alaska and meet you God Bless and take care
I really enjoy your videos. Very calm, methodical and authentic. I spend quite a lot of time in the wilderness myself and still pick up tips and tricks.
Also, can't beat a Mora when it comes to value for money. Great knives.
Thanks, Lonnie and Connie! Looks like you are doing well up there. 👍
Thank you Lonnie always something to learn from you. Regards to you and Connie 👍👌🇬🇧
Great job Lonnie and Connie. You have the best video's. Many thanks.
Good stuff Lonnie, Punk wood is a great tool to assist fire starting. Best of all its everywhere and you sure brought out some great tips on where to find it dry.
Thank you Lonnie and Connie. You two are really awesome people.
Hello, Very nice vídeo, thanks for sharing this tips.
Excellent photography work Connie.
Most usefull video yet for me. Elk season ocean front Wa. can rain enough that a saw wont run. Yes that much water in the air. There was a year we had no fire. Wool clothing kept me good other than I became a giant raisin. 2 weeks/ 8 miles from logging road.
Always enjoy watching & learning from your videos, Lonnie, Great Filming Connie ! Scratch for Buck. ATB T God Bless
When I read Punk Wood I thought it was going to be the fungi that grows on the trees. We used that Fungi to smolder at moose and caribou camp as well as when fishing to keep mosquitoes away. I usually use Birch Bark to start a fire, this does look like another good source.
Always learn something. Bless both of you.
Thanks for the uploads lon, great camera work con.
Yeah,I never knew anything about punkwood, really thanks man
Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. It could save someone's life in a serious situation. Waiting for the next vid. my friend. God bless and take care out there.
Alway's directly on point with the camera, Connie.
Brought to mind a quote from the late great Leonard Cohen...
