How to Start a Fire - Bushcraft Basics

[Ashley Cawley]

great video. Next step up is to use a fire steel to light it instead of a lighter.

I actually use my Firesteel 90% of the time when I'm out camping however in this video I purposely wanted to keep the ignition tool simple (because that wasn't really what we wanted to focus on). What I'm getting at is a match or lighter is a lot easier for youngsters or new bushcrafters to use, this let's them focus on the fire-building instead of struggling with lighting their tinder.

Thanks for your feedback Glad you enjoyed the vid!
