I went to see Ray on his tour : An evening with Ray Mears', he lit a fire on stage on three separate occasions using three different methods ( the above being one of them) all this within an auditorium with 2000 people watching intently .You could've heard a pin drop - each time he got the fire started, there was an audible sigh of satisfaction to be heard by the whole crowd.
Ray was absolutely fantastic : Fascinating, knowledgeable - but yet humble.
That was an event I'll never forget ...

He really makes it look easy. I am glad cleared up the misconception about the softness and hardness of wood.

You can trawl through heaps of different videos on how to do this, but at the end of the day, Mr Mears is the best.

I'm utterly speechless. Wow. That was the fastest fire starting using a stick that I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing!!

[stcSOLDIER]

Excellent job Ray Mears! You make it look simple but that's only natural coming from your vast experience. Thank you for openly sharing the technique.

I think what people underestimate the most of this video is The amount a physical strength need to make it look this easy

[jarodmorris]

Every time I watch a video like this, I think of one of my elementary school teachers who told me it was impossible to make fire by rubbing 2 sticks together. 

[NeillWylie]

Can't believe how fast that wood started smoking. Holy cow!

[tommyatkins]

Ray is a legend. Makes this look soooo easy, its not. Ray if you`re reading, how do I stop the cordage burning through friction?

[xxIVANxx]

it is easy! the only thing is that he was in perfect conditions and also had the right wood, sometimes that's not the case however..

Neil D. Tyson had a famous census… while speaking to an auditorium of people he asked “how many people had a good teacher?. The majority of the auditorium raised their hands. He then asked “how many had two good teachers” most of the hands went down. He then asked again for three good teachers almost no hands were raised. Now in the west to get through even elementary school you should had been thought by at least 10 if not more teachers. Realistically, by the time time you are finished with school you could have gone through maybe 100 teachers. That is an appalling thought on the reality of the effectiveness of teachers. So when you hear what hero’s and how great teachers are, just remember which teacher is telling you that and remember your personal history with how good your teachers were.

He makes it look so easy - I've been trying for days and the only time I got near to fire was by accident.  If I get stranded I hope I have a lighter or fire steel with me.

Fantastic Video & Work Ray. Keep up the great work. Kind Regards Nicholas.

[maxt]

making a "set" takes maybe 20 min, but once you have all the components it takes maybe a 2 min to get a fire. Also, once you have a set you can use it to make many more fires with it,

[highhorseperthian]

This guy went Beast Mode using that knife holy shit!

[shillelaghslaw]

seriously. ray mears is awesome. He makes this look so easy and i can tell you from experience, its not!

[ChasenGunzOutdoors]

[PeterNordBushcraft]

Thanks so much I am in the process of learning this and although I have seen it many times now that I am attempting it I went back to your video for instruction. Thank you very much!

[ryrez]
