Double Fire Rolling Mugwort David West 2023-06-17 | The Double Fire Rolling technique, sadly, only produces the weakest of embers. Therefore, it takes a long time to bring the tinder bundle to flames. You might say, just have some punkwood or other coal extender ready to transfer the ember to. Please remember, though, Punkwood and other coal extenders already easily fire roll. THEY are what you’d be rolling instead of the Mugwort. No, the next time I’ll have a big pile of Pine Needles dust prepped and ready to encapsulate that very weak ember. Please follow the LINKs below and SUBSCRIBE.

Undercooked Char Cloth, Proving It’s Viability David West 2023-06-15 | I got impatient yesterday and pulled my Tuna Can Char Tin from the fire before the 12 pieces of denim had completely charred. Yes, I could have put it back in the fire and cooked it longer, but I knew it was already reactive enough.

Tiny Pocketknife Cutting Saplings n Branches, Stanley 10-049 David West 2023-06-12 | We all know this easy technique, but never get out there and practice it! Simply grab the branch, bend to stress the fibers, then at a 45 degree angle push cut from the top while continuing to apply bending pressure. The fibers in the first half of the cut will actually pop up and out of the way of the advancing knife. This technique will easily slice through branches and saplings with the smallest of pocketknives. Of course, I’m using my little Stanley 10-049 with the short 1 1/2” blade.

Is My Way Of Striking A Ferro Rod “The Worst”? David West 2023-06-03 | Please Comment... 99% of the time, I push sparks down the Ferro rod and towards the tinder.

You Can Still Fire Roll Rained On Wood Ashes If… David West 2023-05-31 | … there hasn’t been so much rain that all the Potassium Carbonate has been leached out. Also, sometimes when the ashes are very wet, you can scoop up a finger full of the paste, predry it in your shirt, and then fire roll it.

I Became A Better Fire Maker Today. Ferro Rod, Fire Roll David West 2023-05-26 | After 10 years of practice, I became a better fire maker today! My current Pine Needles (tinder) are much more coarse than usual. When processing them down into tinder bundles and bird’s nests the usual way, they're becoming too dense and are no longer going to flames quickly. Ferro Rod sparks and embers are now taking twice as long to ignite Pine Needles. It should have occurred to me sooner,not to break them down into such fine pieces as usual. These 1 in 10 batches of coarse Pine Needles only need to be bent well, but left long and loosely packed. Let me show you what I'm talking about and the difference that it made.

Char Cloth Or Fire Roll, How To Test Materials For 100% Cotton David West 2023-04-21 | When using Cotton materials to make char cloth or Fire Rolls, they have to be 100% Cotton. If not, they'll produce very hard to ignite fire starters. When I made char cloth from an 80/20 blend of Cotton and Polyester, it worked, but had hard places in it and could only barely catch a spark. When I fire rolled some 80/20, it didn't ignite and left behind hard places in the failed fire roll. Those hard places were from the melted man made materials. That's how we can test these "100% Cotton" labeled fabrics and cotton balls that are coming from dishonest manufacturers. Set the materials on fire, snuff them out, and feel for the hard places. Of course, this same test works for any material that you have questions about. Additionally, when the materials pass the first test, I still like to try them out and see if they perform normally. Let me show you. Please follow the LINK below and SUBSCRIBE. Thank You!Rudiger Roll, Fire Roll Playlistyoutube.com/playlist?list=PLkoXX8XsMW3kLMA7kY_LznhzK5nOrA3Wd
How I Sharpen My Mora Companion Stainless, Edge And Spine David West 2023-04-20 | I sharpen my Mora Companion Stainless knife with a Smith's Diamond Stone. It has a coarse and a fine side. I sharpen the Scandi Grind and then sharpen that edge to convex. It's so much more durable than just the Scandi Grind alone which I've folded over a couple of times in the past. As for the spine, the initial sharpening has to be done with a grinder to get down past those rolled corners and turn them into a good sharp 90 degrees. THEN, over time, I use the coarse diamond stone to touch them up and keep them sharp. Let me show you. Please follow the LINK below and SUBSCRIBE.
