laughs idly with a weather like this you are caught in the middle of the fray storm anyway it's not so easy to start the fire

for emergency or to or me yourself but with some experience you can do it and this video

regardless exactly that to start a fire in a condition of heavy rain the first thing you want to do is to find a cover in the wood unless the thunderstorm where you have to please pay attention as to the lightning anyway in other cases like this when the rain is really heavy you want to find a good cover in the wood from a big tree where you will use a uses that cover from the rain and then you will try to use the font or the top if you have it with you in a case like this were we have no in the north making a significant wind and we want to cover from the rain the better configuration I can find for my top is there a configuration so I will put to the top right between a this and that we and the start my fire here for a start-up regarding this conditioner I'm not able to show you how to set up the top because I don't know how to do that for the rain is that too too heavy and I have to cover the camera for the rain so I will show you the tarp already mounted and then I will show you the process of starting the fire we will capture this whole tree and use it for a to start a fire now as longer that we are cover like like now under the cover I will show it later we can start to build our bed for the tiles in the section that we are right under this configuration conditions guys as a walk you can ask or if you want to learn starting this condition is the first time do that how we can start to speaking the woods for me to that Beltran is they take away their house apart well if replaced almost common from the rain the best covert rendering the difficult part under the rain is that you don't have much time in the process between our making a split in the wood and starting the fire because if you wait too much and if you make it too much time too much time doing that the wood will become white again and so all the old process will be useless now we start to street the water in the middle log in the middle exactly you should use one of your clothes to take keep the wood dry you see this isn't wood fibers really dry you want to try to make a fastest Pfizer stick eventually you can also use the tip of your knife like this you put the tip here you split the wood like this

after you if you want to use the knife like this I always use it and they if you have a good knife with a good blazer it won't suffer a bit for it you might experience at least I've never broken a tip of the knife doing this as I said is very important that you make this processor quick as possible as possible to avoid the would become words too much again and making this whole process work less so now it's time to make fantastic you can also use something too underneath to recover the the defenders let the drops from a the process funky this also easier to make a good pile of these feathers instead of first making a productive missile depends on the type of the water you are a dealing with because I will found type of wood is that easier to make feather sticks with other types is a much easier to make a pile of feathers and use them to for the file

this is one of the most important a purpose of the process you see I'm using this go collect when I would to becoming a to West you split it again and start the process all over again now it's time to be in our bed to fortify sorry for the camera I know that takes not the best you can ask for but the condition as I said are the worst for you try to make a small bed not a necessary of plywood but of the type of wood that they can keep your feathers away from the water in this case we'll use this you see this is the bed for the fire and this is the pile of feathers that I said before now we start a fire we figure how good the file you

now it's time for the smaller sticks we can find

now we can start to test other bigger sticks

you

it's very important that you don't stop feeding a dry wood in this part of the process it's a special little feature that's the way I would you start to the fire you are done with it in this condition you have to spend much time feeding the fire before we relaxed a bit better start to put other bigger sticks in it also these pieces for food that are the outer part of the initial log from the use that this point of the process is they're much easier keep feeding them

this way you can have a good cover and also you can keep cutting the water that you need now that the fire is there clapping going you can put in a bigger type of wood pieces of wood you just split the water log in there four pieces you got it you don't need anything else so what you see I have also used this a piece of bigger fruit as a cover for my fire no I can't take a break and warm up myself a bit because I don't know if you can see it but I'm a really wet not able to print this piece of wood but I will use it anyway now let's boil some water and have a good kick given a hero raining a lot I don't want to enter myself outside so I will adjust user I just put X my iPod near the fire and that's it for me guys to start a fire in the rain you have to make much practice so it's a not enough to sorry for the way the guys it's not enough watch a video youtuber and to start the fire in the under the rain you have to practice a lot now that the rain stopped for a while I can show you the simple of reconfiguration of my poncho

really simple but effective you can see the smoke from the top means that the top have no risk of burning because even if the fire is a hundred the water will keep it from burning the water on the outside part will keep it from burning so you don't have to worry about it so it's beginning to rain again very obvious but the situation as you look at these are much much better than before going on like another matter you know what put this on my back otherwise it will become a really wet [Applause]

good guys
