Video Transcription

it's missionary survival thanks for joining me today for another segment of our one minute five project and today I'm going to talk about bundles I don't mean tinder stay tuned alright so Manya practicing some skills it's a few degrees above freezing so it's like 34 35 degrees Suns going down it's only going to get colder so I got tons of wool on and if you're looking for a wool we got tons of it on our site basically today I'm going to work on the twig bundle fire which is basically like taking a bunch of twigs and compressing them into a nice bundle alright and then you break them have all the breaks on one side and you light a match and you put it right up inside that bundle where all those broken ends are the twigs and the mat the fire just walks right up into the bundle now usually you tie it with something whether it be roots or cordage with these I mean it's tons of things you know grass doesn't matter series tied down to a nice tight bundle that way you can hold on to that cordage well starting to flame up you can even whip it around try to get some more oxygen into the bundle so it's a pretty cool way of lighting fire and it's not one that you see too often so I figured I would work on that today okay so the ground is really wet underneath the leaves and on top of the leaves there's a lot of leaves actually have water sitting on top of them sir training the last couple days off and on constantly you know just off and on drizzle for last two maybe three days anyways um you know limiting your exposure to moisture for your fire and for you yourself is very important see like right here I just put a little pile of leaves right here as a moisture barrier for my knee because if I just stick my knee right in this raw dirt right here it's wet I mean it's it's what you know so you know my pants are gonna get wet and words being you know basically freezing right now it's just a degree or two above that's just going to make me cold and start to become a problem and that's one more thing that's lowering my core temperature of my body so just thinking ahead and doing little things like this you know my other knee isn't touching the ground my foot is right so nothing is getting what for me personally I'm gonna do the same for my fire I have a small little platform here that I'm going to be putting my my bundle on after and then I'm just going to add my few on top of it this is just a small a small platform and it will get the job done I don't need this big elaborate deal you know if if it was really soaked right I would make it wider than I think i need and i would go 90 degrees perpendicular side make two platforms you can keep doing that to get above standing water if you actually have to light a fire and standing water too okay so let's get started okay so here's our ignition source there was a very famous native from California koishi and when he was asked what he thought the greatest technology that white man the dominant culture had ever invented that he had ever seen and he was introduced into the culture you know he hung out at universities and he was in the cities in California straight from the wilds this is what he said the match this is the greatest technology that he'd seen the culmination of our technology so that's pretty cool something to do is just take a piece of Flint from my mic it just strike anywhere match and like i said earlier i'm going to apply the flame inside the bundle this way let's give a shot

all right now get somewhere and my fuel to it there's the one-minute mark here we go well it is knee-high it will be burning 10 minutes from now put my kid away and my match is away from the fire so if I walk away I come back in 10 minutes it's still going to be burning now I've got some stuff on here that's thicker you know I got some half-inch stuff that's closer to an inch on here like this one right here now it's not only about the size of a fuel that makes something sustainable a fire sustainable in my opinion the definition of a sustainable fire is not only fuel size fuel size can be a a watermark if you will a definition of a sustainable fire however there are other things that burn other than wood so you really can't use fuel size you can mix in a sustainable fire out of dung you can also make a sustainable fire out of burning fungus so there are many things that can burn you know dung really is a big one so you don't have to only go by fuel size now usually if you have something burning that's an inch in diameter that's fuel then it's going to burn for 10 minutes at least so you can then walk away and come back 10 minutes later after doing whatever you have to do grab more fuel etc and it should still be cranking away for you so in my opinion that's the definition of a sustainable fire where it's the fire burns

for 10 minutes no problems and when you come back it's still burning so I think fuel size definitely plays a part in that but it's not the only measure of it as other fuels can be burned so I think it's really a time factor all right let's finish today's survival thanks for joining me today for another one minute fire project and this one barely passed I'll tend to bunt a twig bundle with a match we'll get you a one-minute fire that's sustainable but not including prep right that's from actually starting to let your tinder from that point on but it will do it I mean barely it was it was knee-high it was solid so I'm Brennan right along but you know it's not as powerful and fast as some of the other methods that some people have already shown including myself so again you know I just wanted to throw out my two cents on what I think a sustainable fire is no doubt would that's one inch in diameter burning it's going to be sustainable fire no doubt about that at all and basically what I wanted to do in this project was show sustainable fires that

burn for 10 minutes and are sustainable but might not actually have a 1-inch diameter piece of fuel it doesn't have to only be that one fuel you know like I said we'll give it burn you know we can be burning dung and many other types of fuel that will still give us the definition of what a one-inch piece of fuel will give you if one inch piece of fuel is burning especially a couple of them then you're going to get 10 minutes without the fire going out so that's the end that's that's the definition in my opinion is that that's what that will give you okay well there are other ways to do it other than just that to get to that end as well so the end not the means is really the key to this and you know I'm working on it's one of a fire project because i'm using a lot of pine but it doesn't mean that guys can't be using birch spruce you know aspen cottonwood you know cedar you know just tons of different fuels that can make a one-minute fire so I think it's a I think it's a pretty cool concept an experiment to see what other guys can come up with and I'm going to be doing some more vids on this as well you know I'm thinking during wet weather you know and obviously I probably going with feather sticks right so stay tuned for that and appreciate your views your comments need support I'll see you guys in the next one take care mud

I could hold it now safe
