a Fresno once and I also have my fire steel and wet fire for sure fire okay in a survival situation you need to conserve your resources wet fire is good one time even in the rain a lighter it is flame but it's eventually going to run out of fluid a Fresno winds is only good if you have the Sun you have to have the Sun to use that and firesteel is good if you have wet fire or thousands of uses if you have wet fire or dry material I'm going to show you how to use it or start a fire using a Ferro rod with dry material areas like this that is next to low water that has been exposed to the Sun with dry materials with like the stringing materials like this as dry it's perfect for starting fires so this is where I've collected from this area and this is what we're going to use to start our fire I have my bundle and you want to wrap it up a bit so you have maximum surface area for your faux rug and we're doing this you're using a Ferro rod you don't want to push the knife you want to pull the Ferro rod toward you so that your fire is not going everywhere see ladies we can start fires my name is iris Canterbury from the Pathfinder school thank you for watching and thank you for your sport

From the lore of bushcraft to all things related to self-sustainability, the Pathfinder vision is to pass on the knowledge of outdoor self-reliance. Providing basic to advanced self-reliance training and survival gear, our goal is to offer both practical knowledge and survival gear that will stand the test of time. From emergency preparedness to sustainability, the Pathfinder way is to share and educate.

Here you can explore the world of survival knives, survival kits and simple tips on outdoor self-reliance. We are always learning and enjoy passing on the knowledge we acquire.

There is no substitute for having a plan in the event of the unexpected.
