then squirrel huntin so one squirrel lost him in the woods so I thought I would take a break and go with the rest of what I have in my pack first thing I'm going to show you is a ultimate survival technologies waterproof box we already went over the wet fire and the lighter and my third fire option surefire was a Fresno Lance that I forgot earlier I also have a signaling mirror and a whistle audio and visual signaling spare batteries for my headlamp aqua mira water filter tablets a button compass that is calibrated for my area of the United States and the last item I have is a ultimate survival technologies pocket chainsaw in case I need to cut down a a larger tree I also have a diamond sharpening rod piece I need to sharpen my knife and I also have my pets old headlamp the advantage to having a headlamp like this is it has multiple settings have bright dim dimmer and then you have flashing for signaling okay here I have my bandanna as tracks help me identify animals it's orange for signaling I can use it for to make char cloth that's cotton I can use it for a wash rag a water filter use it for a bandanna on your head a bandage if you would need one there are many uses for a bandanna last thing I'm going to show you in my pack is wipes I always keep wiping wipes in my bag I think women probably care more about this than guys do but I keep them for hygiene and also if I would have gotten a squirrel tonight skinning it gutting it I would have had a way to clean my hands off or if I just have to relieve myself in the woods then I have a way to do that ok ladies while we're out here I want to talk about fire I have three ways to start fire and my kick okay and my kit I have my lighter I have my Fresnel lens

a Fresno once and I also have my fire steel and wet fire for sure fire okay in a survival situation you need to conserve your resources wet fire is good one time even in the rain a lighter it is flame but it's eventually going to run out of fluid a Fresno winds is only good if you have the Sun you have to have the Sun to use that and firesteel is good if you have wet fire or thousands of uses if you have wet fire or dry material I'm going to show you how to use it or start a fire using a Ferro rod with dry material areas like this that is next to low water that has been exposed to the Sun with dry materials with like the stringing materials like this as dry it's perfect for starting fires so this is where I've collected from this area and this is what we're going to use to start our fire I have my bundle and you want to wrap it up a bit so you have maximum surface area for your faux rug and we're doing this you're using a Ferro rod you don't want to push the knife you want to pull the Ferro rod toward you so that your fire is not going everywhere see ladies we can start fires my name is iris Canterbury from the Pathfinder school thank you for watching and thank you for your sport
