In this video, I'll show you how to make fire even in the wettest weather WITHOUT a match! KZfaq is full of friction fire videos done in optimal weather conditions where everything is dry and easy as pie. Well that ain't gonna happen in a real life wilderness survival situation. You need to know how to start fire, without a lighter or matches, in wet weather. This week we're heading out after an all night rain storm to take on one a huge survival challenge - to gather materials for a bow drill friction fire in wet weather. I'll talk about where to find fire making materials from tender and kindling to bulk fire wood. Then I'll use only my Leatherman P4 to build a friction fire kit.
Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow building, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!

I really enjoy how systematic and efficient you are without skipping any of the parts we need to see. There’s a fine line between a video being way too long to hold attention and being so short it’s not actually teaching anything. Yours are are perfect. Appreciated.

Thank you for sharing these skills. I have actually returned a broken leatherman, i took it back to the shop i originally bought it from. A good 4 or 5 years later, and they remembered me, id bought other things over the years, so not a complete stranger to the staff. They sent it off, i received a new leatherman. But, as you said, the old one was gone. Any sentimental attachments had to be abandoned. And the model i received was a newer model, so different in small ways from the one i had had. And of course, a wholly different feel. That original one, was a looser action on all opening and closing than any since. And i missed that. I snapped the cutting blade off. It was being used regularly, mostly pliers, but knives, and occasionally the screw drivers and poking implements... Lifetime warranty on leathermans is legit! From an Australian!

You had tons of dry wood that was easy to harvest underneath all those fallen trees there. I've built fires from scratch while it was pouring rain by getting materials from unorthodox places. Wet cedar and pine branches will burn damp once you have the initial flame going and pine sap is an incredible fire accelerant. Sap saved my butt during a storm in West Virginia once. BTW, I had Leatherman replace my Surge when l sent it in for a simple repair. Same issue. I was stunned when they offered me a complete replacement. Best customer service.

Hello Clay, great video! A tip if you have to betoan with folding knives: Do not unfold the blade completely and do not let it engage in the lock! Fold out the blade only 90°, so the bearing of the blade is less stressed and the blade lock is protected against destruction.

Up here in the pacific north west the native americans used to use cedar root as cordage. It grows very long and thin, it's a great source of natural fiber that was used for basically anything, baskets made of that material survive to today. It's possible if you harvest it at the right time and know what to look for that that cedar can provide you with cordage as well

It's great to see the whole thing and the fact you don't use many tools is exactly my way of thinking. I had to learn with the shitest cheap tools and not many of them, it made me much better at the job and when I finally could afford a decent knife, axe and saw I was so much better at everything that it's now almost effortless

The best friction fire demo I've seen out of a number watched. I'm a retired teacher and you've done your homework! It takes a lot of planning and skill to communicate this clearly. I haven't made a friction fire yet, but I've started practicing the steps, and I did make a fire using a small lens in sunlight. I noticed one small detail not specifically mentioned that seems pretty important: the thin strip of wood under the fire-board that receives the dust and allows for the transfer of the coal. Thank you.

The best tip I ever received was, "Learn how to build a fire under any circumstances and any situations, but do your best to never, ever get into one of those situations." I can't even imagine a situation where I would be in the deep woods without proper fire starting items, including Esbit tabs. I have the distributed so I'd have to lose my backpack and my belt and my pants before I'd be out. If that were the case, I wouldn't have a knife, either.

Another helpful video of yours - thanks for showing ! Allow for some remarks a) never baton with a folding knife in a fully opened position, just open it to 90° and never baton on the tip of the blade, it's the weakest point - cut some wedges from smaller stuff first and only use the blade to start a split, then go on with the wedges (watch the videos from Felix Immler, the Victorinox-guy). b) don't exaggerate - 100% is maximum, there is nothing beyond it (like 150% humidity) c) Paracord is not the best cordage to use, because it's slippery and stretchy. Boot-laces are usually made from polyester of equal strenght, less stretchy and better grip, so replacing them with paracord is ridiculous. The only reason why paracord is so prominent relates to the first 'Survival Handbook', issued to WWII fighter and bomber pilots/crews, which always had their parachutes with them , so nobody would add a tarp or other cordage to their 'Survival Kit' d) Another method with the hearthboard is to make a second divet side-by-side instead of a notch and connect the two divets. The dust collects in the second divet, no need for something underneath the board.

Nice info. 40 year Scouter ( Boy Scouts) and 27 year vet here. New to GL. West of Tampa. Apart from a local Scout camp we can't cut or even trespass into woods ( swamp to me). Preserves or tame parks or endless shopping centers and HOA's. Where is wilderness you use? Am still learning trees and other flora/ fauna here ( grew up in rural NJ and 50 years in Il, Wisc and MO. Very different. Nice video. BTW if you are heading out to woods, good idea is pill bottle with felt from dryer lint screen. Plus flint and steel or old dead Bic for spark as back up to the waterproof matches in your pocket next to compass.

There's something very primal and satisfying about watching a MAN build a fire from scratch. Every MAN should know this as a passage into adulthood. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 SUBBED!

You can get tinder from "Duff" under trees, where the ground is somewhat dry. The dry duff is under the leaf litter, pine straw, and such, etc. The top will be wet or damp but under neath it will be bone dry!.

Nice job, I learned a few things. I have been making my spindles out of branches but I get the feeling that this is a better way to get more dust. My spindle points always burnish quickly and I would have to stop and put grooves in the point to get more dust. I also was told to use a hardwood for the spindle but I think that that is wrong also. Thank you.

Leatherman also replaces just the blade if you want to keep te same multitool. I did just that with my Leatherman wave! Great work out there!

Thank you brother learned a lot today and fortunately I live in the Mojave desert or so I have plenty of dried tender however I am not proficient friction fires and I feel as though I can actually go out and produce one now and I'm actually going to work on it so when I need to do it I can I know a couple guys out here who grew up here and that's kind of like a ridah patches thing is to be able to make a freaking fire anyway good job on the video

I have one of the very first Leatherman tools, made in the US. It can’t be replaced since the parts aren’t available. I have another that is engraved, gift from my wife. It needs some tools replaced on it, they’ll send back your repaired piece rather than a full replacement I’m pretty sure.

Good job and a good instruction actually. I have taken up to a whole day before I have gotten my coals and I hate it when that happens. But it's been awhile since I've done it and I really do need to get out and practice a little more. Sometimes it's hard to get out and do this when you have a severe back problem but as everything else I do I just have to push through the pain. Thanks for the video
