How to Start a Campfire

- How to start a campfire,
roast marshmallows & make s'mores.
Kindling - scraps of wood, you can chop some pieces off of your log if needed with a hatchet.
Newspaper - something light (cardboard works if you have to, but
Dry wood - start with dry wood, once the fire is hot, you can add wood that is a little wetter.
Air circulation is crucial - don't smother it.
S'more (give me some more, yes please)
Graham crackers, marshmallows, milk chocolate.
Be sure to put out the fire completely when you are done.
Even if it looks out, embers can still be burning underneath.

That garden is almost as beautiful as our dad’s personality and jokes
Agreed
Agreed 🍷👌🏻
th-cam.com/video/bhS_EPzumsY/w-d-xo.html
I am watching this video so my dad won’t be yelling at me “THATS NOT HOW YOU DO IT!”
Lol to be fair if its not his way its not right..
Scott Harrison even if his way is so flawed😂
Why would my grandpa be like that?
Subtle
@@godspi4609 same, except my dad's a perfectionist so he usually is right, but PLEASE GO EASY ON ME MAN
This channel is so great. My dad isn’t around anymore, so I’m here for the wholesome daddliness. ❤️
Me too
Same i love his channel because he base around people who don’t or dads that are not there for they family
Mine died this year. Parents were never real parents. Was taught minimal things by my dad, he never wanted to do anything or hard to get him to teach anything. I kinda wish I was allowed to do some kind of scout program and do things like this. Came across the channel looking up how to do something and one of his videos was one of the results.
@HELLO HUMAN NICE TO SEE YOU It's because you are, the "Dad, how do I?" Family!
Me too, I lost my dad in 2015, and he taught me a lot, but we always think we have more time than we do 💔
Side note: those flowers in the back 👁👄👁 . Gorgeous
Thanks, my wife is the gardner. 😃🙏
I was going to say that too!!!! Such a pretty and well maintained garden!
Dad, how do I? Alright time to make a video with your wife 💜.
Dad, how do I? Omg we can have a “mom, how do I?” Episode on gardening. I tend to kill all plant life 😭
Alicia Tanksley this is such a great idea!!! Wow!! Please dad!! Tell mom if she can start one too!!
I felt really bad for a second because when I saw this video I thought "who the hell doesn't know how to start a fire and make s'mores?" and then I realized I had a father figure in my life to teach me how to do it. Seeing your videos make me appreciate my father figures alot more, and help me realize how lucky I am. I don't get to see my father too often anymore because I live 2 thousand miles away from him, But having him in my life as a kid until I moved out is something took for granted until I saw your channel.
Some people also like grew up in a flat. Or in my case. You never really make a fire at home and the only time you have ever roasted marshmallows was over the bbq. And or you are a girl. With a brother and well "it's a mans job"..
I was also blessed with a great Dad. Looking back, it's amazing what he taught me without me realising. This Dad takes all my kudos.
Mine left when my mom got pregnant of me.
i love when you say "hey kids" ❤️❤️
SockmonkeyGirl my favorite part
Me too
th-cam.com/video/bhS_EPzumsY/w-d-xo.html
And that’s on daddy issues 😄
Me to
You, sir, are a treasure. Thanks for all the good you’re putting out into the world.
Thanks for the encouragement 🙏
Hi. I grew up without a dad. He was a drunkie and so he left me when I was young. Im a girl yes. But I love doing boy things like building and learning about cars. And my mother who knew almost everything to hell me didnt know this stuff. I only commented on this vid because it's new and so you have a chance to read this. Thank you for being a dad to 2.5 I think... million people. Btw it does sound like my mom is bad. But she isnt. She was just taught not to dk men jobs. She wants me to be able to achieve my dreams. No matter what the job is she supports me.
Stay strong
Hello sis
I thought there was no such thing as "boy or girl things" anymore :o anyone can do whatever the hell they want
@@NobleManager i agree. Yet my mom has told me that things are a mans job. I don't mind relationships that much but i am pretty damn gay. Sooo what man should i rely upon? My brother? Fuck no.
Those arent boy things theyre just things
Hi, my English is bad, so I use a translator. I want to say thank you for being there! I remember subscribing to your channel after my father came home drunk again. You helped me a lot!
I have never made a s'more in my life, although I have wanted to for a long time. Neither of my parents, both of whom are now deceased, were the s'more-making type, so until I watched this video I thought the opportunity had passed me by. Thank you for posting it. I will use this video while I attempt to make my own s'mores next week after I go to the store. Thanks for doing what you do!
S'mores are a part of the whole campfire experience. 😊👍🙏
@@DadhowdoI Thanks!
Not as fun as fire made but you can make them in a microwave.
or you can roast your marshmallows over the stove!!!:) works good as well
Have fun!
I think I speak on behalf of most, if not all of the 2.4 million of us, when I say what you’re doing here is really special. To those of us who grew up without a father figure you and your channel really mean a lot to us. Knowing there’s someone out there with this amount of kindness and support in his heart to reach out to the fatherless gives us so much hope. Thank you so much!
"You got this. I'm proud of you. And God bless you."
My tear ducts were activated after hearing these words 🥺 thank you, dad
Growing up and living in asia, we don’t have the chance to go camping, let alone make s’mores. Thank you for this valuable experience, dad 😊
Maybe some day Kathy 😊🙏
Never stop these videos. The world needs more people like you.
Thanks for the encouragement 🙏
On this channel, dislikes should be banned
Agreed Jefferson
Thanks Thomas Jefferson
Yes
This is the only thing you’ve said that Alexander Hamilton would agree with
The dislikes are probably TH-cam bots, so that it’s “Balanced”
The dad jokes are amazing, I swear. This channel is extremely useful, I'm so glad I found it.
The wholesome energy is immaculate, I’m crying 🥺🥺🥺
You got this Nathaly! 😊🙏
I am too
Thank you❤ as a woman it never hurts to learn these basic skills!
Beautiful Allison, glad you are here.
I want everyone to learn! 😊🙏
Thank you “dad” for helping me start a fire on our snow day from school in Mississippi. My dad passed away in 2015, best dad anyone could wish for. you’ve helped me a lot around the house as a single mom since I found your channel. He taught me a lot, be we always think we have more time than we get 💔
Oh and the dad joke really was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
😅
I love the dad jokes 🥺❤️
Haha thanks Sarah. 😃🙏
👍
astr9o h bruh
astr9o h not the place dude
So strange, I was literally watching videos on how to start a fire. Then I open my subscriptions to find this! Thanks dad!
Smiya Coron or the fbi can read your mind and is watching you
Dads got ur back!
Same!!
I grew up without dad since i was born. I never had one, i dont even know if he is alive or not. Im too afraid of asking my mom who my dad is. Grewing without dad made me such a coward and introverted. Now i am 19 and studying mechanical engineering i had to study things on my own. This channel helps me a lot to me. Sry for bad english :D
After the past few days I needed to hear from a dad. It's been tough right now. Thank you
This random internet stranger hopes your day/week gets better!
I hope things get better soon. ♥️
There’s light after the darkness i promise you ❤️
Please teach us how to plant flowers next! 🌷🌹🌻
Yes he said his wife is the gardener in a comment maybe she could guest star
I showed this to my cousin, she never grew up with a fatherly figure, and thanked me for it.
Great, thanks for the encouragement 🙏
as someone who is teaching kids fire-building skills I want to point out the difference in the amount of kindling he has to logs he has a lot more kindling than logs (this is something that tripped me up & almost everyone kid I've worked with) another thing is be patient with the fire treat it like a living growing thing (feed it little food then work your way up to big stuff)
My Dad was a deadbeat drunk who left when I was an infant. He taught me nothing. Thanks for this TH-cam page, I will be referencing it often.
Him: makes these vids for kids with no dad because that’s what heroes do
HI DAD GOOD MORNING ✊
Hi safira! 😃🙏
What a great thing you’re doing here. I’m learning so much
Thanks Vicky, glad you are here 😊 🙏
LOL Dad. You spent 10 years telling me not to play with matches, now you're teaching me how to start a fire and make "flaming projectiles." Love you!
He should also make a shirt that says “Are you winning?”
I feel terrible every time the dad joke makes me laugh 😂
I always laugh 😆
My Dad was one of my most favorite people. He taught me so much. Thanks for teaching me more and bringing back some great Dad memories!
I'm a single mom, here to learn not just for me, but for my son too. Thank you for this gift. I hope you continue to share!
My dad is around but he's not the teaching type. He's usually the one who starts the fireplace in the winter. When he's not home it falls to me and sometimes it's difficult. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for doing this, my daughter showed me this. You are also helping kids whose dads just dont care. Thank you with all my heart.
You're welcome Anastasia, thanks for the encouragement. :0)
I’m always ending up crying when I watch our dad’s videos ❤️
I'm on 3 seconds in and just have to say... Even just the thumbnail and title... Oh my heart! This guy is so wonderful!! ♥️ My heart just melted!!!
To this day I await for my trip to America where I go camping and make s’mores
Do they not have camp sites where you live? Or would you just rather go camping in America? Either way, I hope when you do go camping, you enjoy your s’more! They’re so great when they’ve been made over a fire
Yea :D I’ve been camping before but it doesn’t feel like the same vibe as it seems to in America. I wanna get the proper experience :3
Camping and s’mores is all over the world, though. Asia, too...
Lil Pingu there’s definitely some beautiful scenery in America to enjoy through camping, good luck!
Arthur James bruuhhhh, you don’t get it. It’s not the same vibeeee, hahah
I am literary crying this is the best I love the dad joke 😭😭😭😂😂❤️❤️ I love u so much dad!!
As a firefighter/inspector, my dad will be pleased that I learned a proper way to start a camp fire.
dad, how do i clean a grill? i heard wire brushes weren’t good because it could leave small bristles behind. what do you suggest?
Gonna bump this cause i need to do it soon! How do we clean a grill?
@@Caboosinator175 Crumpled-up aluminum foil works well.
Nah! Forget about brushes and aluminum. You just have to clean your grill using half an onion 😌 try it and thank me later!
@@marisolr13 You are absolutely right! I found all sorts of TH-cam videos on this time-proven method, and was able to use it last night. Thanks so much for this!
@SueBohlinDallas you’re welcome! 😁
Your patio is due for one of those "oddly satisfying" pressure washer videos! haha
Good stuff, keep up the good work, sir!
Oh wow, that wasn’t so hard! What was I doing all my life... 😭😭😭 I can’t wait for my next campfire experience!!!
Dry wood and kindling are key 🔑 👌
Just remember to be patient with the fire. Some times the kindling
doesnt catch fire right away because it is not dry enough, the weather is damp.or windy just try again
Love this, great jokes !!! 😜😎👍
ℍ𝕚
Cainza 78 Hi !
Haha, thank you! 😆🙏
Dad, how do I? 😜😁👍
Mihai, cum fac ? Cum
I WAS HOPING TO GO CAMPING FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WEEKEND AND IM SO EXCITED YOU MADE THIS VIDEO!
Excuse me
👁👄👁
CORONA
VIRUS
thank you my good man
🧐
Have a great time don’t forget your mask be careful
Sara Mohamed Kadry yo just shut up lol
@@sarauhettiff8250 when you catch the virus then talk about safety
We recently went camping. We are in our 60s. We spent at least an hour trying to make a camp fire. It was a frustrating experience. We finally got it going but we’re too exhausted to enjoy it. LOL. We came home and watched some videos. One guy was amazing and made a fire using wet wood and duct tape rolls believe it or not. He wanted to show how to make a fire even in the rain. Anyhow, your video showed how important kindling is. We thought we used a sure thing. We read that you can stuff toilet paper rolls with dryer lint but it didn’t work too well. This was so helpful. Patience is definitely key. Also, can you believe I’ve never had a s’more? Thank you for this wonderful video. And your garden is spectacular.
Good for you guys. Never to old to learn !!!
This is a kind man I honestly love this guy
every time i do something i learned form you i say "my dad taught me this" and feel good thank you for being a dad.
Doesn’t get much more wholesome than a campfire & s’mores! Thanks Dad
Man I lost my dad in 2014 and this honestly makes me cry. Thank you for everything you do for people.
Thanks for being the best internet dad 🥺
You’re like the dad I’ve never had, thank you so much man
I LOVE this video never ever in my 29yrs of living did I think of making s’mores I lost my dad 10days before I was born my mom was always a single parent who would always work so much and try her best Now I’m gonna try my best and do this with her I know she would love it! 💕💕Thank you Sr. ❤️
Yesss for yearssss I asked my dad to teach me and he never would but taught my brother when he was 11 😒😂
Love the positive message on the shirt !
Love this channel. Thank you. Hello from Russia with love.
Nice, glad you are here from Russia 🇷🇺 🙏
I always burn the marshmallows but I've learned to oh and
As a pro tip you can give the Firestarter a light spray of olive oil* that'll help it burn for a bit longer to assist the kindling as well i learned this from a scout master from when i was in the scouts
*it doesn't matter the grade of olive oil either
Thanks for the tips Dad! I recently found your channel and I've watched all your videos. Unfortunately, my Dad passed away when I was 14 and your videos always cheer me up. I'm planning on visiting my boyfriend in the U.S., who's new house has a fire pit, and I've been wanting to making s'mores with him - I've never had one before. I'll be sure to use your tips once I'm able to fly over and visit him!
“Hey kids” *heart melts *
Another few tips for deep woods camping. 1) use dry, fast burning wood to start, like pine and then add heavier dense wood laterwhen the heat can handle it, like oak (make sure everything is cut small enough to allow easy burning). 2) if you're overwhelmed with tall trees that block out any wind in your area (inhibiting airflow and constant oxygen), just blow a fan on it on the light setting from a safe distance (don't use any setting that causes burning papers or embers to be blown away). 3) please make sure you're being safe with over lying brush that could take a flame. Burn within your means and always be aware of how your fire might interact with the forest/buildings around you. Cut away any overhanging limbs within 5 to 6 feet from the top of your fire.
When my dad came home (after a longgggg time ) he mostly yeald at me what im doing wrong and not what i did right.
Thx man im happy there are people like you
( sry for my bad eng.)
You're welcome 😊
Your my new dad. My dad has anger issues. And he called me a liar cause he was mad about toilet paper in the bathroom and I'm actually kinda scared of him. He has OCD to. And drinking problems... ADOPT ME NOW PLEASE
i hope you are doing great
Most of the s’mores I’ve had have had cold center marshmallows. Now I know the secret
I got so much from this chanel. Its not only about the knowledge, but also the feeling when i realise how dads aroud the world really tryin hard to show their love to us as their kids. I still have dad, and this channel makes me love my dad more and more. Thankyou❤
I am thrilled you have this channel. DAD How do I? It brought tears to my eyes when I heard of this. Thank you so much for filling this need. My dad is gone. My husband is gone. I figure a lot out on my own. How often I wish Dad was still here to go to and ask How do I? God bless you!
I only laugh at Chandler Bing's jokes but when out internet dad makes Dad jokes I'll laugh and enjoy no matter what
Hey Dad! I've missed you!
Hey Angel! 😃🙏
@@DadhowdoI Thank you. 😃 This totally made my day!😄
Thank you for doing all of this, you're helpful to all kids who doesn't feel the love of their dads.
You are so warm hearted teaching kids how to do these stuff if they don't have a dad 😊
Remember kids... if you’re out foraging wood for a camp fire, in the rain, the inside is still dry and will burn if you split it. Always go prepared!
Love it! Maybe add an addendum about having a bucket of water or sand nearby, and also how to properly put it out? (I was taught: bucket of water, churn ashes, and repeat until you see nothing glowing.)
Also, now I'm hungry. :D Thanks, Dad!
And to always check 1) your local regulations and 2) DNR reports for burn advisories.
@Dad, Not nit-picking, just trying to be helpful and safe. Love your videos!
A good indicator for that is that there is no more steam coming form the extinguished fire if you put it out with water
In the Scouts, in my time the traditional way to extinguish the camp fire was to....well, you know, a sort of male incontinence thing (if you catch my drift). Checking the wind direction first.
Thank you for doing these videos! Unfortunately, I'm a grown woman now raising a son of my own as a single mom, but I love watching your videos. I would've had such a different life if I would've be lucky enough to have a dad like you growing up. Keep doing what your doing!
Thanks for the encouragement Liz. 🙏
@@DadhowdoI Thanks for reply!!! 🤗
My Dad didn't have a Dad growing up - so he's struggled my entire life on how to be a Father to me. I learned a lot from him about tools and building things - he definitely did that right and never made me feel like - as a girl - I don't need to know these types of things. I had a project I wanted to do in my studio - something simple - cutting some wood and giving it a clear coat to make a solid surface on a wire shelf. And I did it without losing any fingers! I was pretty proud of myself...and I thought about you and your channel :)
I'm so fortunate that - even though my Dad was not the nicest person when I was growing up - that he still let me know that I could do anything I wanted to. Thank you for this channel and giving us the knowledge we need to not be scared to do something :)
Hey I never learned this! Thanks internet dad! (I feel like I would be betraying my own dad if I just say “thanks dad” so I always add “internet” haha)
Thanks Dad!
Thank you for helping us with simple things. Im really happy that I found this channel and you. I don't have a proper relationship with my biological dad and these videos make me very happy bc it feels like you're actually teaching me all these cool things and being a dad to me and all these other watchers and stuff. The dad jokes make my day too. Thank you.
My dad passed away a couple years ago and some of the things on your Channel are a lot of help to me. He wasn’t able to teach me some of the things that are on your account. Thank you❤️
This is my only source of serotonin thanks for making these videos
49 years old. Just got divorced. Time to learn how to do these things. Special thank you for doing these videos.
I grew up thinking I was better off without a dad till I found this channel. It won't fill 15 years but it will help.
eu tenho um pai, mas vim aqui admirar esse moço. Senhor, saiba que todas as crianças que não tem um pai são extremamente gratos pelos seus vídeos. Muito sucesso para você ❤
This made me want to go camping so bad 😭😭 wish I had a backyard to do this
Your channel should come with a "LOVE" option. "LIKE" doesn't seem strong enough. Sometimes,I watch you for the content that I need to teach my little man. Sometimes, I watch you to remind myself that good men do still exist. Thank you for what you are doing. You, sir, are a blessing.
Thank you for the encouragement Suzanne. 🙏
I want to say thank you. as a woman i was never thought these things. so i like to learn
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you!!!!
Ran and tried it out on a charcoal grill - It works - Thanks for the lessons. My father passed about 6 years ago. You really are a great help to those of us without someone to teach us just the simple things in life.
Thanks for the encouragement Teresa. 😃🙏
I just wanted to say thank you for making this channel. My dad passed away when I was 10 and your channel has helped me quite a bit. I hope you have an awesome day☺️
shame over the people who dislike dads videos! ;(
Honestly
thank you!
My dad used to take my brothers and I camping, but I haven't seen any of them in four years and I just miss them. It sucks because before he left, he was basically the best part of my life. I've moved on but it still gets to me sometimes. I was watching falsettos and I love that Jason has like three dad's.
Thank you again for another wonderful, wholesome Dad video.
I love this channel! I never had a dad or a mom, and I don't trust men in general. You have taught me so much, thanks!!!
You made this just in time! Thanks!
I recently went camping and this helped me a ton! I also noticed how beautiful the flowers were it’s good to know that people take time out of their day to help the unfortunate without dads
I’m watching you right now on my local news in Houston Texas much love for you man from
Houston keep up what your doing dad thanks 🙏
Thanks for the encouragement Matthew. 🙏
Thank you for all you do.
