Becky, just FYI...when you clean the filter in your clothes dryer you can save the lint in a zip lock bag or other water tight container and it works very well for sparking a fire. I've been using it for years. Jim

I've learned so much from watching your videos.. Stay safe and healthy from NYC, USA

You are wise beyond your years, Miss Becky! Sending you blessings and safe travel prayers from Pauline, S.C. USA!

I have never used this, from now on I will. You gave a really good explanation and demonstration. You are gold.😀

Becky this is best presentation which you have done. thank you Becky!

A year ago tomorrow you uploaded this. Great video! Excellent techniques and very educational!!! I like to hold my steel at about a 30 degree angle. Then insert my fero rod into the tinder. I then keep my steel in the same spot and pull out on the fero rod. This creates a nice concentrated area of sparks and helps to keep from creating bumps on my fero rods by holding it at an angle.

thank you i’m getting my first rod today i appreciate it😁😁😁😄

I really love your video's. I just got into buscrafting and wildcamping. I absolutely love it! But still have to learn a lot. I learned making fires and what you can do with wood and knots at the scouts 20 years ago. I thought i did not forget anything but..well...yes i did😳. I also know stuff about eating out of nature. So plants, herbals and mushrooms. Really like it! I like to watch video's where i can learn from. Thank you!! Greets from the Netherlands

Well done with the details and comparisons you illustrate in this video it makes a change from what you normally see

Almost 100,000 subs now. Thanks for the real deal on the ferro rods. One of the best videos I've ever seen on usage.

Great demonstration Becky I’ll definitely be buying one of these 👍

Thanks for the tips Becky. I have a couple of tips for you too. To be legal in the UK, your knife should have a folding blade. And you want to keep that hair away from the flames !! All the best, Kevin.

Wise Words on fire starting from sparks. Very well expressed and comprehensive instruction. Lighter flints are usually tiny and don't provide many lights in comparison with those rods!

Wow Thank You very much for this video. Im learning so much. Most videos ive seen they just very basically go "ferro rod makes sparks" and thats really it but no one except you has actually gone in depth with it. Seriously im only 8 minutes into the video and my ferro rod knowledge has already tripled. :)

I'm dabbling with fire starting in all types of weather, I'm in the Northeastern part of the United States. Learned alot with your vids. Thank you.

Great video becky. Looking forward to seeing the next one.

Fero rods: wider and softer (more heat) is better IMHO. I have used up five Baylite and three Lightmyfire, and now am using a one inch diameter 8" Fatboy. I hold my striker(knife ridge) braced against my boot, and pull the rod. This is much more stable, produces more compact heat spray, and is less likely to spread your tinder bundle. And Heat is what you want when you already have Air and Fuel. :-) I also make a V with my kindling. Point facing down wind. Place my tinder in the V and light it. I then flat lay more kindling across open end of the V, over the tinder flame. Once the fire peeks through that I add more kindling diagonal to the first flat lay like an arrow shaft. Once the flames come through that I start adding fuel. Usually I place fuel near the point and two corners to make a triangle over the "now hopefully deep coal bed". No "expert" here, this is just how I do it... Flint and steel thought, I always use Char(Chaga or Denim) to make an ember. Much harder until you have it down through practice. Great review! Seriously, you are doing really well. I want to re-iterate, Great! Review! I am loving your videos!

Good vídeo.

A pretty good series of how to use fire steel, a really good idea with different videos about different things, a good idea you've got. 😀

Hi Becky love watching you're videos you put things in perspective lot better when you're in the country and not in the house later girl outdoor I mean country girl

Thanks Becky , great vid buddy

Outstanding video on how best to use a ferro rod. Have a super wonderful day.

You're a good teacher. Thanks, Becky. 👍🙂

Great video Becky. Getting into bush craft and love your channel. You explain things perfectly

wonderful Becky, I personally have never used a faro rod, but it looks like I will have to invest in one, thank you for this

I have several ferro rods and they have strikers with them which I can use to make a fire with. The tender we have here in the Southern United States is rich pine wood which I have also to start a fire with and also have lent from the dryer which I keep in my backpack to start a fire with. You are very talented and know what you are doing and talking about when it comes to bushcraft and many can learn from you there. I love your knife and the sheath you have for it, and the other tools you need to sharpen it and keep your firesteel on.

Love watching your videos as they are very informative.

Great video Becky as always perfect for people starting out very informative 👍

Hi Beks. Thanks for the vid.

once again lov Great video

a very detailed and full of great knowledge and info video about ferro usage. This is one of the best ferro rod vid I have seen on youtube. Becky you are amazing!! Thumbs up. Already sub long ago

Nice to see how your video making is improving.

Nice video becky

Nice bit of info right here!

Awesome and informative video..

Love it

Great idea bringing back some of the basic Bush craft highlights. Some of us seem to get a little rusty. So there are different hardness ferrule rods.I like the softer one, less work. Great video see you soon. 🤗 👍

Good one.. Becky... 👏

I have a pendant fire steel from Wolf Creek Forge, on etsy, that I gave square edges with a grinder. I use that as my striker since my knife spine isn't hard enough. It works perfect because the smith who made it hardened it so well. It was only around $20 too. I actually carry a flint and steel kit, a Djeep lighter, 25 lifeboat matches and a 1/2 x 6 ferro rod as a back up.

Awesome, 🤗 👍

Thats nice

Hi Becky, great informative video there. Thanks for sharing Ash 👍🏼

Nice to see you.. waiting for the video .. from 🇮🇳

Nice video Becky,Love you.

Cool video mate all the best seth 🇬🇧

Hey Becky, stay blessed, lots of Love from Pakistan.

Just found your channel while searching for the TBS Boar, been binge watching all afternoon, and noticed this is your fourth (different) bushcraft knife in the last year. I can't help it, I'm pedantic when it comes gear. LOL So you've gone from the TBS Boar with the birch handle, to the TBS Boar with the curly maple handle, to the Survival Lilly Knife, to the TBS AHMA Puukko with a curly birch handle. Well done. :) ...The Ahma Puukko looks like a sweet tool; creates nice feather sticks (from the FS video), and throws a good spark.

i watch all ur videos and i see something new on your hand, tattoo. nice beck

Congrats on the 50000 subs !

Love you so much :)

Умничка, супер 👍😉

They wee fork thingies look the biz, great skillset btw. Keep up the good work.

You've used the fire out of that one ferro rod. Cheers lassy

Great video ,n information n technics, bravo young lady ,wow 50 k views, ok ms becky ,cheers

Lovely x

Wow 🤗

That is so strange. My ferro rod just came the same day you uploaded this video. I was meant to get the parcel tomorrow haha

Wow

Greg Ovens, who's quite a survivalist, recommends longer Ferro rods when you can get them.

Wao que bonita es

Hi Becky fabulous video and a lot information thanks for sharing thumbs yup regards hugs :-) :-) :-)

Hi Becky, enjoyed your video. Looking forward to watching your new upcoming series. We have fires almost daily here, and the ferro rod is our go to fire igniter. Hey you are a 'south paw' too..that's our name for lefty's. G is too. Birch bark is plentiful here so that's what we use mostly for fire starting. Thank you. btw, Congrats on reaching 50K ... wow. You've worked so hard for it woot woot. Glenn & Maureen

A nice education video becky keep them coming I always carry two one on my belt and in my fire kit then if I take my MSK knife system and neck knife have a total of 6 atvb Jimmy 😎😎

You are right size matters

Love love❤❤❤

Cordage would be great, personally I would add some waxed polyester yarn (used for sail Repair and wipping ropes) and some braided fishingline (0.15-0.2mm powerbraid, power pro, fire line...) the braided fishing line is great for sewing as well. Another addition that takes very little room, a couple needles and a pair of fishing flies. Just add strip of felt to inside of retaining flap to hold them. Fishing flies are better than hooks for improvised fishing as they do not require bait but can still be used with bait if desired.

well done kid

keep safe 🇵🇭
