At least here in Australia, people are overly scared of fire. I think people are generally too worried about embers in the wind and not careful about root systems and the surface they're on. Unless you're throwing plastic into the fire, which can get carried up and away and burn longer and hotter, it's unlikely an ember in the wind alone can do much. Go try to light a leaf on fire with a ferro rod and see how far you get. Not extinguishing a fire properly, not clearing the area (up down and around) is much more important. This was a great video Blackie, well done mate. Glad to see you getting some acknowledgement from Mr Canterbury too!

Great Boy Scout training on fires , old school. Thanks Blackie.

This is your the most important video so far Blackie. Forests fires are much more frequent than survival situations. I have been asking for years on many big outdoor channel for fire safety videos. No responses

This was a very badly needed video. I've been waiting for someone to talk about fire safety and "root fire" per say...using a 3 or 4 forked limb cut down works well in dry conditions for raking away ground cover for those of us that don't dance 😉 Root fire and flying embers are my biggest concerns. Nobody talks enough about fire safety or first aid. I've researched fire proof blankets to lay in a fire pit/hole to cover with about 3 inches of loose dirt before adding the fire nest and woodpile. THANKS Blackie! 🙂

Home Depot sells 5 lb boxes of fatwood for like $12. Perfectly easy way to always have a piece with you on a hiking, canoe, camping trip!!

Bravo, Bravo, Bravo...! This is the (FIRST) and only (Professional) video where safety for self, others, the flora and fauna, is brought to the forefront. Your direct presentation really brings the message home. Once again, Bravo, Bravo, Bravo...!

Excellent advice. Too many so-called experts/reviewers talk about their fave wood-burning stoves but NEVER mention SAFETY nor the cost of their kit.
Another seemingly common trait is for people to complain about millitary cook kits being hard to adjust for temperature. Those mil kits were designed to HEAT prepared food, NOT do any real cooking since troops in the field have no time (nor supplies) for "fancy cooking" !! Example: M40 not having a simmer-ring.

Blackie, Great Video and Outstanding Information on fire safety and care . Thanks for sharing this information. Tim L.

[davidtarbassian]

To many people have a difficult time understanding true responsibility. Glad you made this video so people can understand fire safety.

[phillipmerritt]

I believe they give credit to Ben Franklin. It says take care of the little things and the big things that take care of themselves.

[jeffrichards]

Great tips, Thanks Blackie. You're right. I don't recall seeing many videos where they mention fire safety.👍

Hi Blackie, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for your time to make these videos Another one is people lighting too close to trees, there roots can catch fire, We have to make a 3 metre circle, that is if we are allowed to make a fire.

[outbackowl]

Hi Blackie greetings from Australia, this video should be compulsory for all ages especially for young children, thank you for sharing it.

If it's that dry, resist the urge to light a fire.

[Flashahol]

This is an important lesson that should be taught to anyone having access to a lighter.
I throw a bit of water on the center of the dead fire before leaving; If you hear anything other than water falling on dirt, you need to douse it.

Blackie I like what you said in this video, but I want to extend it to other things. As that fire safety applies to things like Welding, Gender Reveal party's that involve fire works as well. I say that as I have seen an entire town in Central Texas burnt to the ground, because someone failed to practice fire safety while welding. And I have seen an entire town that had to be moved because of an underground coal fire, as well as all those fires in California that got started because of things like Gender Reveal party's where fire safety was neglected. A million acres of land, untold number of houses and towns burnt to the town over a Gender Reveal party gone wrong is not something you want to happen while camping.

Good discussion! As someone who spends a lot of time in the high dry Sierras, I have 2 deeply held beliefs. (1) Get over your notions that you need a fire to enjoy the wilderness. If it’s not frozen or wet you do not. (2) Those little butane backpacking stoves is usually all you need, and when it’s out, it’s out.

Blackie, When i was young and was in boy scouts they told us that we needed to clear a 10 ft by 10 fr area of all leaves, sticks, pine needles ect.before building a fire and that has always worked for me and my wife and we are both in our late 50 s now.

Good informational video Blackie , thanks for sharing , God bless !
