Video Transcription

hello my friends we today we will discuss the importance of the chocolate for childhood Vita of the facialist importance the type of material and know how to use it and to find it to treat to make the child wouldn't recruit we will also discuss the difference between the two materials when his one is better when the point calls of this two materials and the anyway I use them all fully during all year in the summer and because I use them with a magnifier lens and also in a in a winter you can use them in a sunny day winter but anyway you can always use them and learning how to use them very well is a really important in bushcraft activities and a survival activities so say with me and the elastic example when you can find this material like this one like this which is a fluffy non-bank would really soft to the touch this is a good material to make a child should be rotten but you see this is rotten but it can be used my teacher would profit child in this case it's a bit thin this type thin and so when you put it inside to make child it could become a dinner and so it's a routine to use but the type of material is perfect I'm sure you I will find another piece thicker piece this thick of material will show you a better example of this this other piece is a perfect for our purpose so we will use it to show the method this piece of law gear is another good example when you can put your feet in your fingernail inside like this and leave a sign on it it's perfect material to to make childhood you can rub it and use it this is perfect material to make childhood and you use a child or chocolate you also need a good material to make a bird nest material like this is perfect you see is really dry stuff and it's a really good to make a bird nest good bonus appear like this like that or even a the you have seen me do you can find them as if I can find it one right now let's see one of this vine that are perfect to catch the sparks so a type of line here you put it to dry on the Sun you grab the pieces that are right Narsha

you see and with this you can make a good burnished perfect earnest see personally personally I usually prefer childhood to chocolate that's because I always find it along the way on my trailer on my path but her I always find some piece of wood that funky wood that could be used to make Chuck would on the contrary you have to use cotton and even if not difficult to find and all the t-shirt to use it and it has truth at Tisha's the idiot will last anyway piece of chocolate so not a matter of finding the material but they form it easier because I use a piece to start my fire and then I grab another piece along the way to use the next time while I usually forget to take a piece of cotton with me to make chocolate and the horse for me is better so I would because in my experience it will ask a bit more because a and there it will develop a bigger amount of heat inside the burners which are wood and so it's important because when you blow in inside the furnace to let the oxygen flow it's really important to make the piece of charcoal short last long enough to make the burners catch fire so for me the even if it's a bit more difficult to make to use a sock would and you need just a bit more experience than a charcoal chocolate but it will last more inside ballast so for me it's a better choice but it's only matter of taste I guess anyway it's through that the sharp wood chocolate the chocolate is much easier to catch the spark or even had to use it with the magnifier less exposed to the Sun unfortunately this today is a bit late and I'm not sure if I will get in time to use the magnifier lens and show you the process but it's important to know that even with your fire still they're really useful to understand the importance of chocolate or chocolate because with a single spark of the fire still you will catch for sure the charcoal wood and so you will your fire still will last a lot much much much longer if you use a the charred wood instead of trying to start a fire just with the fastest so it's important even with a fastest then you can use it with vintage steel and with other methods using the spine of your knife

if it's a high carbon steel we have many many methods to start a fire with a chocolate or so would even a with the stones I have a I did it once just once you have to find the right stone Center to be honest with you and just a friend of mine show me the right type of stone to use and I'm not sure that I will I will find that type will recognize that type of the half of a stone even if I see it so you have to learn the stones to use them with sparks so wood or charcoal you just need something like this in a steel with a small hole here to let the oxygen flow and then you put your piece or childhood or a piece of cotton inside you put it inside the wound and the fire or event or if you use like me in this case a our stove you will put put it on the other stove let's do it you see I've lost a piece this piece I will make it this offer this that I always bring with me that's it now this is our quick Bernette okay as I said it's a bit too late for the Sun to start it with my magnifier lens so I will use a I guess I will use them afar still you see

now adjuster with no hurry at all you just put it inside like this and you blow you see that the smoke is already coming out from from there the process is really simple okay now we just simply put the wood on the fire

[Applause]

I'm using a dry route to start a fire because a worker pretty well and you can put these pieces that we have found along the way inside here like this simple like this as you will see to shrink a lot during the process the whole process will last less than a half an hour and you don't see the smoke coming out anymore the process is done you see the smoke the good part is that we want to have to be too precise with the time it's also important that you don't open this piece of steel before it will cool down because otherwise the the tower or the chocolate will take fire in the moment that you expose it to the oxygen a for me the process is completed so

let's leave it to cool down I will show you the later and now let's boil some water and have some good tea and the sunset the same this is the material you need to start your fire

let's enjoy together the concept the last last shadow of our day keeping some cookies with the teeth you know guys even a smaller smaller almost over like this then give you some heat not in full winter but eventually in this season that it's a warm enough you can use it to warm yourself a bit since the - we have some company if I can show you not scaring white animals sting me [Music]

my dog is not a great all of this he come come

me wait let's go back to a smaller fire camp in provide parking and the third week and the let's have our key minimalist the Sun is gone down completely

this place is a full of God's route but they don't attack humans unless you provoke them or too much I like to enjoy the this part of the day when everything come down and you don't have anything else to do you can enjoy your your time without any re I think everybody needs to have some of this time for yourself and there is not difficult to to have it it's just that sometimes we have to use to the the comforts and so when you finished the work you finish your a day at work it's easier to lay down on the on the bed or in front of the TV and don't not get out don't go out but sometimes you will miss something special if you with just that bit of effort more you can get a lot of beauty if you sue my friends
