Start a fire for camping and outdoor survival. (Ferro rod, Magnesium tinder)
In this episode we are talking about fire starting when camping, hunting and doing bushcraft or survival.
We show how to obtain Birch paper bark for use as a tinder. Birch bark is a good tinder due to its readiness to catch alight with it’s high Creosote content.
We demonstrate the use of various fire starters such as a Ferro Rod or Ferrocerium Rod, Magnesium shavings from a bar, Paraffin wax with Cotton pads and Vaseline with Cotton pads. We show combinations using a lighter and using a Ferrocerium rod.
The Magnesium bar that I use is genuine and has it’s own Ferrocerium striker!
It has this written on it: “MFD.BY DOAN MACH & EQUIP CO.INC.” You must test your Magnesium bar on purchase as useless, fake copies do exist!
When taking paper bark from trees only take a little per tree as to not do harm. This paper bark would be blown off the tree naturally overtime!
