Oh

Oh

s missionary survival so you're going to go over a simple firelake all the TP stay tuned as usual we're going to start with the raft of sticks on the bottom to get up fire up off the ground and just start building Emma's right away like most of the file a to get a fire started I start with two bundles of twigs whether you use a tinder bundle put right there to create your ignition source will use a piece of birch bark river the cases what we do is we make an X of twigs lean them forward a little bit that creates a little overhang kind of a cave once a fire get started we just lean it forward a little bit so the flame can start building through okay and once my initial twigs ignite i'm going to move up to a thicker sighs i'll be making an X as well I can take one or two at a time I'm going to make an X and I'm going to put some sticks right in the middle of the two I'm going to go on the side and the side again and then on the front you can start to see TP shape it's going to make as you keep piling up your fuel in that pattern k let's do it I'm going to go with birch bark

I'm going to wait for the flame to start making its way through my twigs ok so now I'm going to add my next step following that pattern for my fire making equipment away as it starts to build all right so now from this point I continue the pattern with larger fuel

and then you can see of a nice tall flame as it climbs up the fuel it's in the nice TP shape and this style of TP instead of the building ahead of time cone shape is much superior to the cone shape because it allows a lot of airflow to go in and it really allows everything to burn really well and everything has plenty of oxygen and it just stacks very easy it's very stable doesn't fall over and it really just makes fire making a breeze well swim in native survival appreciate your views you call me you support you guys the next one take care
