One Spark Firestarter ~ DIY Bushcraft Style ~ The BEST!

This is the ONLY firestarter you will ever need! This is the way I started fires on Vancouver Island on ALONE Season 4 on the History Channel. My husband Dave and I survived 49 days in the wilderness and this is how I started fires in that rainforest environment. This firestarter will light with ONE spark every time! Give it a try.

Thank you for your comments, views, and support of this channel!

Good job. Looks like a handy fire starter. I personally am partial to natural local found materials. This method of yours fits that criteria very well for places that have those or similar materials.

we need two things to stay alive water and fire, thanks for the vid !

That is so much easier than rubbing two boy scouts together. Since I have the type of trees you needed to make your fire starter I plan to make a batch to carry along in my outdoor adventures pack. It certainly would eliminate the boy scouts complaining.

Where I lived in the mountains I had a few 4 foot across, 4 to 5 foot tall, bull pine stumps that had hollowed out for making turpentine 100 or more years ago. The entire thing was some of the nicest fatwood you've ever seen. I would cut slices off the stumps, split into smaller pieces, and eventually down to 6 inch long and about the size of large fireplace match sticks. Then bundle it up and give away as gifts.

You've taught so many of us so many cool things! Thanks Girl in the Woods!

Are you playing with fire? Ha ha. Great demonstration. Easier than I would have guessed. 😺💞

Though it isn't bushcraft per se, I shred my junk mail and put handfuls of it in silicone muffin pans I thrifted. Then I pour salvaged wax from candles that burned unevenly over the paper shreds and stick in the dried evergreens from our Christmas tree and wreaths along with small dried pine cones. The wax binds the mix into a wild little puck of flammable goodness. Lighting a protruding piece gives me about 30 minutes of constant flame to build a fire around, even in wind and light rain.

Your most important words - "Be inventive" . It has been said - Necessity is the mother of invention ... which you most perfectly demonstrate .
Respect and Thanks for this video .

A little piece of Canada always keeping you warm

Really like your fire starter better than mine and I have all the things I need in my woods to make it. Why didn’t I ever think of it?! I’ve been using wood shavings, pine cones and stuff that I put in paper egg cartons and fill with melted paraffin. Not the same as when you’re out in Vancouver Island. You gotta do it in the wilds instead of bringing it from the house! I’m going to try your method. Love the use of the shells!

An awesome, "all natural" alternative to cottonballs soaked with Vaseline! Thanks for sharing, Brooke!

this is super helfpful! Love that you have the best dog breed in the world!

I love watching her I’m all the way down in texas

My dog Buddy would get mad when the hike was interrupted. I think it is universal in dogs that get to hike a lot.

I used to break up pine tree stumps in SE and E Texas and make “sticks of heart of pine” for fire starting. . Still have some of them. Yep works!

[shelbyarmit]

That's quite interesting. (Starting fire). The marrow of a tree.

[ekaymartin]

Such a beautiful fur baby! She just wants to keep going momma. Lol.

Thanks for all the info. ..love love watching your videos! Yay Brooke!

Great video, many years ago more than 25 years my wife and I were kayaking along the west coast of Vancouver Island after days of rain and dampness are lighters would not work it was a big hassle to get fires going, when I got back from that trip I found my first fire steel, now I never leave on any trip with out at least 3, one on a lanyard and my fire kit. live and learn, never stop learning it will save your life. keep up the great work teaching!

[stuartrogers]

Nice one Brooke it’s great learning your secrets!
