it's a mission a survival today we can go over a tinder bundle type let's not use the write-off stay tuned alright so usually you can just pick up leaves we're off the ground they're good to go once has been raining a lot lately and we just had a storm come through so everything is real wet on the underside but we can find leaf somewhere else at work alright so all I need to do is just find some leaves hung up in trees like this pluck some of these I'm good to go alright so here's what I got should be plenty alright so the process really isn't much actually almost nothing I just remove the leaves from the twigs alright this is dry because I've been hanging so I just put it aside not a big deal now I'm gonna just kind of put it into a bundle slightly because it's not really going to be a nice circle bundle like you know you have cedar bark and other things like that like birch bark yeah so you just have to kind of work with it a little bit just pressing my thumbs in the middle all right so to help out with this I like to put a coal extender in the middle seeing as it is damp out cloaks tender helps to make your ember bigger make it last longer you can generate more heat for a longer amount of time which helps it dry out anything that might still be too damp that's a healthy amber a leaf bundle drill messy you have to be careful with it may we have it Wow

just weeks don't want to catch I'll be fired burst again we're going to grab the absolute best wigs I have grab a few more keep my amber going alright so let this be a lesson that you never want to give up on your bundle you know even though it looks like it's not going to like you know it really doesn't want to like you know stay with it and it doesn't mean just keep blowing on it until the fuel is spent and keep trying to light the twigs or whatever if you feel you have on top of your tin abbulu because once that runs out you're done right so I think it's a very important to know that sometimes you have to pull apart what you have before it's completely spent and get your best stuff together you know all the little twigs whatever you have to do and kind of like rebuild that really quick and put your best stuff right above where your ember is and give it out that last push and that way you're giving it the best shot you can you know so you never give up on on your em burn em I give up never give up on you tinder bundle but that doesn't mean again just blowing it and blowing and blowing it hoping it works and then oh it's gone you know I've seen a lot of guys fail at that when it gets to that point and that was the difference you know like really quick I took off everything that wasn't working you know and put all my best stuff and I put it on the best way to it I was really particular and I made a nice little X right over my amber with the small stuff possible you know everything that that is really important to make sure that that it's going to catch you know the dry stuff I have the small stuff I had and put a right where it belonged to give myself the best chance so that was the leaf tender bundle we can pick leaves right up off the ground if you want unless it just got finished raining then everything's pretty wet and then you have to grab stuff in the trees like I did today and it was still pretty damp you know my bundle didn't really want to flame up if that's the case to stick with it and modify your twigs if necessary well this is been missionary survival appreciate your views a comment any sport in the next one take [Music]
