  1. why dont these videos show how to start a fire under adverse wet, snowy windy conditions. as it really is in the wilderness. your giving people false hope thinking it is so easy to start a fire in the woods. You could endanger lives that way with mis-information

  2. Yeah, real easy if you are working with SOFTWOOD species. They are just like Balsawood so even a girl could chop it up and start a fire. Try doing that with Australian hardwood varieties, then you will need real bushcraft and fire starting skills.

  3. Note to literally everyone that uses an axe or hatchet, DO NOT start cutting your kindling by holding it then starting your split. Yes I am aware nearly everyone does this. But have you seen what happens then that multiple pound razor blade slips into your hand? Lay the log down flat on your chopping block and strike the center it will split the same with 0 risk of telling a funny story about how you lost a finger.

  4. I really don't understand all the work people put into starting a fire? I live in humid, wet, Florida and I've never failed to get a fire started. BUT I just gather wood of varying size. If you're surviving or even just camping why would you want to spend an hour or two splitting big pieces of wood to make small pieces of wood? Just snap off twigs and start a damn fire?

  5. Learned as a kid to gather all my fire building material before I even thought about starting a fire. I learned to gather plenty of all sizes around me so when I start I don't have to chase for more because it's about to go out and I don't have more to add before it goes out. Biggest lesson was NOT TO MAKE SOME KIND OF BIG TEEPEE and then try to get it lit, trying to stick your hand inside to light the smaller wood. That's for TV. I see lots of people do that all the time and get frustrated when their fire goes out. Learned that the hard way too when I was a kid, tearing it all apart and starting over 2 or three or 4 times. Where I'm from, I go with thin birch bark, then small dead balsam twigs, then balsam branches, then the bigger stuff. I break it up into, from shorter lengths for the twigs, to a little longer for the branches, then 2" and bigger and don't rush it by heaping it up before I know I have small coals going good that aren't going to fizzle out.
