hey what's up Turtles Creek here with blackout outdoors
and today I wanted to do a video showing how to get a fire going in wet conditions it may not look wet today I can assure you it is yesterday and the day before it rained a lot it's very beautiful out today but nonetheless things are still very saturated so I'm going to take you through the process of how I get a fire going and some of the techniques I use in wet conditions with marginal material so when you're in the forest and you want to have a fire and everything's wet soaked there's a few ways you can procure dry wood and one way is to split a round piece of wood this is about quartered you split a round piece of wood down and then all this interior wood is dry even if it's been soaking now you want to look for wood that's usually standing dead and standing as opposed to laying like this the water will hit it and soak it if it's like this it'll more shed but basically you want to split it open to get the dry wood on the inside so this is tulip poplar and I found a big downed tree of that section of it and I buck that down with my silky saw to get manageable sections probably underfoot under 12 inches right around there and this actually this size of wood this is going to be like my base the base I'm going to create on the ground to keep the fire initially off the wet damp ground so this is why this is bigger this piece was only half some of these recorded but I kept these big to keep my platform now this will allow me also to put my fire on top of this and this will turn into coal as soon as the fire gets going so this will create a coal base right away without anything burning on top that's important step very important step in the winter and in or wet conditions to have a platform you don't necessarily need to split this your platform you could keep logs but this way because it's open and dry wood my coal base will start sooner than if it weren't split this next pile over here this is more of my fuel kept this to fuel size a little bit smaller than this but still split pride quartered some of this is even damp on the outside this is even damp this is still hot this is actually pretty marginal non-ideal stuff's rotted on the outside and I'm breaking apart but this inside here is definitely harder a little nicer wood and this is a little bit fuel sighs like I said I'll put this on once I have a decent flame and I'm looking at only for fun you want to put this on until it's hot until I know the fire sustain I want to put this to specific pieces of wood on this is my fuel pile and this isn't what you see in front of you isn't completely everything I'd have to have a sustained or keep the fire going for a long period of time this is basically get the fire going and keep it sustained and that way if you do have more wood good to go or you can walk away and process a little process some more of some more wood moving over here this is sort of the kindling this is the kindling which is an important step that is very important that doesn't get really talked about or giving as much emphasis as maybe it could or should but basically this is going to take that initial flame once I have a twig bundle and or I feather sticks in this instance that's going to take that flame from that sort of quick burning bundle or feather sticks and that's going to help sustain that flame even more to then I can add some fuel on top of it but this is a very important step and I again I use my hatchet to do all of this the only thing I'll use my knife for are the feather sticks I use my hatchet because it's just that much easier I don't worry about potentially damaging the edge of my knife through ppattani all of this stuff I could possibly do a video people were interested in seeing how I use the Hatcher or more going into depth about splitting wood with a hatchet and the way I used today because it's pretty safe as long as you keep a few things in mind and it produces pretty good results even to get this Kinlan
I could even go a little bit smaller than this I could use my knife to just jam in the center and kind of split it up a little bit more but I feel like this is okay knowing the conditions to feeling this wood I feel like this is going to be fine but again kindling very important step and down here I have feather sticks a lot of times I'll use the twig bundle but where I am specifically in the Valley bottoms the hemlocks I use a lot of the dead hemlock branches the end of the branches but when it's raining and actively raining there's not a lot of needle relief cover from that tree so there's branches or twigs get soaked there's no cover from them so what you can do spit on some wood down like I have here just take a piece like this and go out with my with my knife to create some feather sticks and I'll get an initial flame from my fire kit which I'll show once I get the fire all going but feather sticks are nice I really didn't try to have too many curls I really wasn't concerned with this curling over on itself too many times I just wanted something that's going to take a flame and sort of just you know get that initial flame and can get it roaring I wasn't really so concerned with having too many curls over itself and that's basically the setup as I have here and then you will see what's in my fire kit once I start building the fire so let's do that right now and I'll take you through that process and get this fire going the first part of having a fire is if you're going to have a fire safely is you want to scout if there's already a fire ring with rocks built around it great build they're already they're already been disturbed do it but where I am right now it's not really an option so I'm going to do it safe try to get down to mineral soil as best I can get all the organics all that layer substrate clear down to actual dirt see how this is not dry at all this is really really damp so that's where my base comes into play and why it's important
not playing to have a giant fire this is just a fire for us they get warm hangout but still have a hot fire one side my base right here also want to build fill this up a little bit on the back which is going to act as a rest for me to lay Mike in link up now make more sense once I do it and you know the step isn't really always necessary to do this when you're making a fire if you're in perfect conditions or really ideal conditions you don't need to do all this I can build a fire right off the ground if it's dry because it's wet keep in mind everything when we doing the techniques I'm using is because I'm dealing with moisture feather sticks on there for now now I'm going to get into now I'm going to get into my my fire kit I have a bunch of little little goodies in here but as my fire kit goes this is actually a tulip tree the bark in our bark of the tulip tree sort of actually it's reverse wrap cordage of it but I found it's a really nice way to store it I'm going to cut a piece off break this open and then this will give me a flame but not a really hot flame but then this is like super impregnated cotton and I sort of flattened it down so to catch a flame really well really quick excuse me and it'll hold a flame for our small thin it is it will really give me a strong consistent flame even in wet conditions and or wind this will burn really well I also have a little impregnated piece of pine wood with a lot of pitch in there act as the same thing it will hold a flame once it catches 4 it will hold a flame really well and for an extended period of time that way I have some time to mess around if things aren't perfect what I'm going to do now is cut a piece of this off on my on my base besides reverse-wrap cordage and see once I start on twisting this so it's just coming apart and I'm going to go on each side and twist it some more expose these fibers and if it is wet if it was raining excuse me it is wet out but if it was actively raining what you want to do is do this underneath you if you're hunched over you want to use your back as a block for the rain or the precipitation if it's snowing that's coming down so for if it was raining I'd be huddling and leaning over all of this right now but I don't need to do that because it's not actively raining but yesterday it was I'd use the same method yesterday and it was raining everything was soaked that'll probably be enough but if conditions aren't ideal or if it's really cold you need a fire going you want to give yourself the best chances and opportunities to get a fire going so you don't want to skimp and you don't want to sort of rush through any part of the process because with fire preparation is key when ideals aren't our student when conditions aren't ideal when conditions aren't ideal or are ideal geez if it's perfect out you don't have to do all this if it's not you got to take your time that's what I'm trying to say there's a lot of different reasons you'd want to start a fire in a lot of different uses for a fire okay so here's my striker I keep on me when I'm out in the forest this isn't in a kit it's not on my knife sheath this is actually on my body here this is actually one an old keychain of Mead the design I wasn't really fond of I mean it worked but I changed a few things size-wise so what I do is put this either around my belt my belt can go through here or I can put it on my belt loop then I have a striker attached to it that way I don't need a knife I don't need to find any material this is on my body at all time now the next step is I'm almost ready to get the fire going before I even try to get a flame I'm making sure I have everything where I want it in materials I sort of planned out how it's going to go down I'll actually try something different today I want to take this I want this one on the bottom I have about 3 3 feather sticks to a degree this one up here take out some of these curls so I want to give myself the best chance so what I'm gonna do here put my feather sticks sort of like this because as we all know or potentially we all know that fire loves loves to climb it means it needs space between the fuel and its end that promotes oxygen airflow which in turn creates Heat blah blah blah get a good fire so I'm setting this up so that as I like this I'll be able to have a nice rest for my kindling and now I do that and I think I want to put a bunch of kindling and then set some stuff on top of the killing help promote those flames to reach through the kindling I think we're going to be good with this what I'm going to do now is use this tool poplar bark to get a flame to get an initial flame this does not really keep a hot a hot extended flame it's just for an initial flame I'm going to use this then to use you actually actually almost like a candle in a wick to get a really strong flame on this and I'm going to put this down here and light my feather sticks so the process is going to be I'm going to strike this get a flame get this burning I'm going to light this cotton with wax this is beeswax and I could probably today conditions I could probably just lift this up and use this tool it bark to get my few feather sticks lit
but this is an insurance policy if it's windy or it's actively raining something that will hold a flame like birchbark works really well for that things of that nature but I just want to demonstrate that this step could be very useful condition depending so now let's try this
see that has a nice flame but and catch it trying to get this call it and once this catches this is dangerously hot and it's going to hold a flame really long so I'm going to do is get that under there not put it out which I did it's all right
see this little piece how long it's holding it excuse me an insurance policy smother it again pick this up put my key nervous
then get that back feather stick lit sort of got sort of rushed but that'll catch see it smoking a little bit more air you can add a bunch of kindling at this point but you just wanna make sure you're not not blocking air flow from from the boughs of the fire just going to keep adding a bunch because I want this to be sustained it's wet I'm cold make the leave like I said before I'm going to put the last bit of curls on there to sort of promote those flames to reach up where I want them to help burn that kid link and once I feel comfortable start adding some fuel some bigger pieces to that I can let all this burn but I'm really happy with the fire as it is now that's sustained the base is already on fire and starting to coals one thing I'm critiquing up myself is that initial start of the fire I probably should have had my feather sticks a little bit nicer or just thought that out a little bit more because I really wanted to catch them sort of light them or get them caught all at once but that's my only critique of my at this attempt at this specific fire but speaks for itself you know I'm still able able to get it to work
even with really wet wood that need to split down so if you have any techniques that you think I could use or found anything you liked about this video leave a comment remember to do all the lake subscribe and sharing on YouTube check us out on black outdoors comm its Creek signing out with black outdoors later Turtles
