Campfire Starters Episode 6

Ferrocerium Rod Strikes

No Match Campfires

Firecraft. The practice of starting fires for camping or survival with sustainable fire-starting methods.

Episode six.

So this is the sixth fire from this same Fatwood stick and we’re going to use the QUICK-FIRE SURVIVE, survival kit.

It’s a larger version of the QUICK-FIRE Striker. The SURVIVE has two compartments for survival items.

You can you use your fatwood stick to bounce the Sparks back onto the fatwood fluff. We were at 20 strikes after fire #5 and here we go, 21 22. You see 24. 25. The first little thing that I did there wasn’t really a strike, just kind of moved my hand.

This fatwood will start quite quickly. Look at the sap in it, Actually it is the pitch and that resin is already melted with a little bit of fire. Not every fatwood stick is exactly the same. They’re all different, but they’re all from the stumps that are rich in the resin. Hence, they are fat wood.

The re-count from video replay of the fire starting is listed in the animated counter above.

Episode five. We’re doing a deep dive into QUICK-FIRE Fatwood and QUICK-FIRE Ferrocerium Rod to see how many strikes the ferro rod has and how many campfires can be started with one fatwood stick. Make sure your knife that you’re using, has a flat Edge. You can also use the striker to fluff the fatwood. But if you use a striker, you got to clean it off after before striking or at least use the other side of the striker metal.
Fatwood sticks are hewn from pine stumps from old stumps.and in parts of the forest that have been logged decades previously so no trees were harmed.. They are manufactured in Peachland British Columbia.

Using fatwood in the forest is a sustainable method of starting a campfire.

You can see this is part of a fatwood stick. It is original and was broken off from an old stump. And then we the fatwood down to a smaller size harvest our fatwood sticks and provide them on the website.

So, we had 17 strikes previously on the striker, and this is fire number five.

Episode five.

19.

Quick fire.

As advertised. All counts were updated after replaying the video and are stated in the title and episode cover art.

Episode 4

Using QUICK-FIRE fatwood we’re going to find out how many fires a stick of fatwood ignites.

The ferrocerium rod that we put into the QUICK-FIRE survival kit is the same Ferrocerium Rod that we use in the lightweight, compact QUICK-FIRE Striker.

You can also use the striker component to scrape the fat wood or fluff, the fat wood. I like to use my knife, if I have it. If I use my knife, I don’t have to clean the fatwood from the striker.

So we were at uh 13 I think

I’ll recount after I watch the video.

16, 17… could have stopped on the 16.

QUICK-FIRE, as advertised!

That’s the one.

This quick fire fat wood is harvested from Pine stumps in British Columbia in parts of the forest that were logged decades previously.
I am counting each ignition of fatwood as 1 fire started. I am presupposing that for every ignition of fatwood, there would be tinder other larger fuel available to keep the fire burning.

Episode 3. We’re going to continue counting, how many strikes the striker has.

11.

13.
The animated tally above shows the re-counted number of ferro rod strikes.
