Video Transcription

hey its mission in survival i got a request to do a video making char cloth so that's all going to do today stay tuned alright so just got my long hunter chin with a few pieces of 100-percent cotton shirt i'm going to do is just lay them inside the tin I prefer to have them not touch if possible not too much anyways I like to lay them on top so something like that you know I could put a fifth piece right in the middle no problem there's four pieces in there okay and so my ten just has a single hole in it right here so it gets hot in here gases stop being produced from everything burning inside the combustion it leaves the tin air can't get inside so it can't actually fully combust it just charged and that's what we want so now I'm going to take this and just put it right on my fire usually right inside the embers if i can it's really hot then what I'm going to do is I'm going to watch the smoke coming out of here when the smoke stops I'm going to pull off the fire it's that easy okay so there it is inside my fire there's a smoke coming out so I'm going to just watch that and again once it stops and pull it off it's that simple

looks like it's almost done a little bit of a flame at the end showing that there is some gas coming out that is ignitable all right looks like it's out to me there's no smoke coming from this smoke coming from a stick right here no smoke coming from my 10 I'm gonna pull it off the fire let it cool down all right see we got okay char cloth now let's see if it takes a spark okay this is my char cloth one steal see what happens here we go alright

second hip

much in the bundle right here there it is all right let's been mentioning survival just want to do this request vid I'm making try cloth it's pretty simple it's going to deal with the tin then you just put a single hole in your tin and you put a few pieces of cloth inside and throw it on your fire as you can see it's very effective thank you for your views convey sport seen the next one take care
