hey what's up turtles it's creek here in black outdoors I'm gonna walk about today and i found a resource that i wanted to share with you this is going to fall along fall along the lines of fire how to make fire at a natural material in the forest where you can find and this is i found some tinder some shredded bark you want to try to get the shot rabbit start talking a little bit about what i'm seeing this is just old bark that's on this branch soom was probably driftwood got washed down when the creek rose the flood levels push this up on land it's been really worn you can see this bark superdry this is a great resource for a fire tender I'm just going to gather some of they get a ball and see if it'll take a spark I'm not even sure what type of tree this is really not that important i can see the resource that i could potentially use

let's try to break this up and I want to caution if you are what if you do want to use natural tinder natural materials there's there's a time the time frame involved that you can't rush it you have to take your time to set things up properly and I'm going to try to not rush this for the video but do it sort of speed it expediently for the sake of time but this is definitely something you don't want to rush try to expose all these fibers really get everything broken down small little nest that might might be ready I'll try it let's see see if it'll take a spark we're good

natural tinder with the rod you could do I think this stuff is so dry and fibrous enough if you had flint and steel the sparks will not be as hot as a spare cm rod I still believe that would it would catch this uh this tinder material this dress ready bark skirt starting out black outdoors later turtles you
