Half the fun of this channel is reading how upset some people get over tyler doing something incorrectly

I love how surprised Tyler is about how many sticks and rocks are in the forest.

What Tyler was calling "cotton" was most likely flame-resistant polyester fiberfill. It is designed to not hold a flame.

Man you went through an entire character arc trying to get that fire going. I had a smile from ear to ear during the whole video and I'd love to see more of it

the way the headlamp landed on the tent bag when u threw it was perfect

I feel like you could do a whole video on Ferro-starters now and find out if they're all equal.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud Tyler talking about needing wood for a fire surrounded by fallen trees, leaves and pine needles, starts cutting down a tree, I love your videos Tyler you are hilarious

Tyler the only one who can be both unhinged and still make a wholesome content.

I think this should become a series using the knowledge you get from each time you do it and see the progress you make. Survival skills are very important to have

You have to slowly scrape the flint onto the tinder. build a small pile and then spark that up. You were so close.

The fact that he made a sea bear circle proves he is an elite level survivalist 😅

POV: You find a wild Tyler alone in the woods rambling to a camera for 45mins

That polyester fiberfill is one of the best fire retardant materials out there. 😂

Ok so we now know the man who literally sets fire to everything he sees can’t start a fire.. this has to be the start of a new “Tyler learns how to start a fire” thing! Who’s with me?! 😂❤

Sea bears!? Tyler you're crazy! Everybody knows you only have to worry about seabears underwater! Youre in the woods, but luckily your circle will protect you from woodsharks.

Yes, I definitely enjoyed this! Especially how you didn't sugar coat the difficulty you had with lighting a fire. No typical Hollywood special effects, just some real guy, in the forest, throwing sparks into flammable materials, to absolutely no effect! 😂

100% need to see more of this type of content. ... Or at least one good 5 hour video of Tyler trying to start a fire without a lighter.

Next time you empty the lint trap in your dryer save a little for fire-starter, it lights instantly with a ferro rod.

Did anyone else feel like Dwight from the office watching Michael trying to survive?

I really wished the camera didn’t die. Tyler was getting into a really cool topic. Thinking about how people survived with little knowledge, tools and definitely the convenience and technology that we have today. Thanks for sharing that Tyler

Tyler being amazed that there's wood .. in a forest. Wait until he finds out there's water in the ocean too.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2128">35:28</a> was the closest Tyer came to using the flint correctly, YES I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THIS KIND OF THING.

Always find a way for an 89 cent cheapo lighter to fit into the budget 🤣

I think fire would be my first task in a survival situation. It's a huge moral boost for you to then build you camp.

I think Tyler would be the first casualty in an apocalypse scenario lol.

Next up: Tyler lost at sea with $101 of Amazon crap!

Humans are absolutely funny. Also, I love that "fire starting" is the majority of the video. To all you judgemental people, Tyler is teaching you why to learn how to make fire before being condescending. Mad respect for pure frustration. 😂

Tyler has more patience than me I would’ve pulled out the lighter after 5 minutes 🤣 great video

Me and hubby yelling at television that Tyler is doing it wrong. Brings us together as a family. 😂😂😂

Forest full of fallen limbs and this man spends an hour cutting a tree down with a knife

It doesn't matter if Tyler does things right or wrong this is KZfaq it's all about entertainment and just having a good time.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1950">32:30</a> if you're without an accelerant such as kerosene, or even maybe cottonwood fluff what you'd need to do I think is to scrape the flint a whole bunch with light pressure to build up a pile of flint dust then place your wood shavings on/mixed with the flint dust and then try to land a good spark on the majority of the dust and then quickly add shavings and oxygen to it when the dust ignites.

Sleeping on a hill not quite a good idea! But you will find that out

The sea bear circle had me laughing so hard

So if you ever want to do another Survival Challenge, I can give you a few tips from as a pretty avid hunter. When using ferro rods, or sparks in general, you want the tinder to be pretty flat and fluffed up. Moss, dried grass, and DEAD pine needles (or fir needles) work the best. Don't use anything that still has water. If it's green, leave it alone for fires. If it's brown, typically it's fine to use. Cattails also do well, but you have to dry them first if the bushy part of it is wet. Try to use the ferro rod roughly 6-8 inches away from the tinder for the best results. You'll be able to get a little more accuracy, though the sparks can go off in random directions sometimes. If you're too close, when you move away, the draft you make when you move quickly can snuff out the ember. You can do 1 of 2 things to keep the bugs away: Smoke them out with the fire (Use moss, leaves, and bundles of pine needles), or use herbs like Marigold, which is found in the Midwest and Southern United States. You can easily tell because they're orange flowers that look kinda like orange cotton balls. You can grind them up in your hands and get some of the oil-- you can tell that you got marigolds because they will smell faintly like bug spray you can buy at a store, that bitter, biting kind of scent. Rub that oil around your neck and the parts of your body that doesn't have clothes on it, like your arms and face. Mosquitoes and bugs like horseflies hate it.

Its crazy how so many people dont realize you can gently scrape the starter stick until there is a pile of the powder from it. When that pile of powder is hit with sparks, it will light right up.

Would definitely like to see more for sure. It's refreshing to see the survival type stuff from people who don't act like they know everything and are learning. Awesome vid!

I definitely want to see more videos where you just try some random gear and go camping for a night.

This was a fun video, Tyler. It made me want to go camping! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1703">28:23</a> A really good way to get kindling is to shave your jeans. I know it sounds ridiculous but you can shave off bits of denim that will catch fire very easily. I would like to see more videos like this.

Hey Tyler! Just a tip for next time, the flint, if you strike it slowly you can shave some magnesium off and gather it in a pile and strike the flint to make sparks you can make a small fire

I swear that Tyler is playing a character. Surrounded by downed trees, "I need to cut down this tree" 😂

one of the best videos ,30 min spliting logs and not using them , trying sparks and then using a lighter, best survival video ever

Nice! Love your channel! Your ferro rod technique was spot on… The back of the blade usually needs to be prepped…. The tender was the issue. Pocket lint, paper, lint shaving’s from your jeans, and frayed cotton socks work great. Also, putting tender on the ground cools it and not having it in a bird’s nest shape makes it harder to pick it up and blow on. Keep it up! Practice, and you will master it!

Dude spending all that time cutting a tree down when there’s fallen trees in the background 😂..love him

I want to see more this type of stuff. ;) If you found pine needles the pine tree they came from might have some resin or fat wood. That would have helped with your fire making. Using a fero rod isn't easy. I just make sure to have plenty of lighters. Easy is better. I'm glad your brought one with you. That 4 person tent was talking about new born babies. It will fit 4 newborn babies. I buy a 6 person tent for each person. That is just about right for 1 adult with room for your bavk pack. It's been fun. I enjoy your channel. Thanks

Please, dear, God, don’t ever let me be in a survival situation with Tyler lol enjoyable to watch, but would kill me to be a part of

Folks worried about how a guy does something while he talks about sea bears and chubacabras is hilarious

Should definitely do more of this kind of survival stuff. Especially since you have all that battle box stuff.

Please please please do more of these. Practice makes perfect. Would love to see how you evolve into mastering survival. You did great and really enjoyed watching. Thanks Tyler

Tyler trying to start a fire has me CRYING 😂😂😂

Ted talk and Camping with Tyler needs to become a series.

For using a ferro rod, what is recommended is to use the back side of the knife to shave off some of the magnesium into a small pile then strike the starter to throw sparks onto the pile then the magnesium shavings should catch fire and boom you have fire

Tyler on a fallen log, legs spread whacking a stick with a knife. One wrong hit and it's a self vasectomy in the making.

Tyler your suppose to “shave” the fire starter into your pile of pine needles or leaves or twigs until you have a nice visible coating over your pile then spark into that. The residue that you have “shaved” into the pile will ignite and start your fire. And your sleeping bag is fire retardant lol You crack me up

I'm sure there's 100 other comments like this, but it helps if you grind some of your ferro rod material into what you're trying to light. The sparks from ferro ignite the grindings in the material which help in sparking the ignition source. Can't wait for another survival challenge

Tyler this is by FAR your best video ever, Ive never laughed soo hard at one your videos, you're the gift that keeps on giving. So lucky to have discovered your channel. I really feel like you were on to something before your camera died about a simulation etc haha. To answer your final question on if you should do it again 100% !!!! Thank you so much for the great content mate. Love from England. Shaz

Was anyone else shouting when he was setting the tent up on the side of a hill?

To start the fire you needed a nest of finer material to catch the spark. Second, pull the knife across the flint keeping the flint still. Also the sleeping bag Material is normally not cotton.

if you looked for some birch trees around, there is a type of very flammable oil in the bark of birch trees you could have used, and make it feather off instead of taking the wood off completely, then you have it in basically a manageable bush and is much easier to catch a spark and combust into flames :)

Great video! I love watching all your videos. Please never stop being yourself in these videos. Thats what make them so good and real.

Tyler was never a Boy Scout, and it shows (or if he was, he never learned anything from it).

When you’re using the flint, don’t pull the flint away from the steel. Leave the flint just above the pine needles and push the steel down. This was cool. Would like to see more like this!

I remember when my cousin forgot to make a circle around his tent to keep out the Sea Bears. He got attacked but thankfully he lived and is fine with no life effecting injuries. 😊

Glad you survived Tyler. 😊 Sitting here at work laughing my ass off watching 'cave man' try to start a fire!

We just gonna ignore how Tyler doesn’t want to get his pants dirty while camping in the woods so he sits on the bag?

I can’t believe that had the audacity to call that a 4 person tent. 😂

I have never laughed so hard at myself, laughing at you. Bless your heart. 😂

Yes i for sure want to see more of this type of stuff! I loved the longer video format and wish it were even longer and the survival challenge was so fun!

Welcome to this week's episode of "Inspect my wood". Thank you, Tyler, the panel rates it 8/10. Thanks for showing it to us🤣🤣🤣 this was fun. I think we should do that again. I hope you got some sleep, I know I wouldn't have. I can recommend getting a ferro rod with a magnesium strip. It makes lighting a fire so much faster

you're suppose to scrap shavings off the rod first and put them underneath the tinder before striking.

Please, don't ever get lost in the forest Tyler! We want more videos 🤣

Hey brother. I'm a survival instructor. That's a common AF issue. So a couple things. 1. Lighters are cheap and work better. 2. A much larger ferro rod works better. 3. You need to make a tinder bundle. Think of a birds nest. Pine sap works. birch bark works (but you gotta rough it up) think fibrous furry and fragile. Pocket lint works. You can slide your knife sideways on cotton socks to get lint. Also a lot of sleeping material is fire resistant but it was a good idea. Don't feel bad dude. This happens a lot to newbs and even some intermediate guys. Lighters and storm matches are champs. And magnifying glass over 10x mag (if you have sun). The biggest thing with fire is your tinder bundle skill. After that, make a feather stick kinda like what you were doing with the wood chips and you're golden. You did great man ALSO this sounds dumb but great thinking with how hot the handles are gonna get. SOOOOO MANY PEOPLE get burned like that. Like at many survival schools that's a serious issue. So you have to super duper harp on it constantly. You'd do great in a school brother And to answer your last question on how did we go from dirt to now. Community and family. Not being all hippy nonsense. One group cooked, one built, one hunted etc. similar to what we have now just less industrialized.

This was fun, and the way we got here is basically when farming was invented, by being able to create and share food it allowed others to focus their skills on other things, so everyone didn't have to know how to feed their families.

This is by far the most informative bush craft video I've ever seen, I will use all this info and apply it to my next camping trip.............👍

Love these types of videos testing different things out in the field like this. Would love to see more of it

the cotton in sleeping bags usually have some type of fire retardant in it. Also if you scrape the back of the knife on the feral rod to put some in a pile to aid in the lighting capabilities. Most of primitive camping is trial and error, just think about sports or even a new camera/computer there is a learning curve. I applaud you for attempting many different types of starter. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see you attempt it again.

Great video! Here's an idea for a new challenge. A 3 day Thrive challenge, no budget cap. Get the best gear, the best food, maybe a generator, heck even bring your inflatable garage if you want, only your imagination sets the limit. Take whatever you need to thrive for 3 days. #3dayThriveChallenge

100% We need a lot more camping/bushcraft content from you Tyler, not for our sake, but for yours. That skillset needs some work. Kudos for sharing your experience 😂

He chucks stuf over his shoulder,😂 Nsync/phil collins " trashin the camp"😂😂

“That was an oval it has to be a circle 😂”

This is a really great video idea, would love to see more like this in the future. Great stuff

I love how it ends with us being in a simulation

I just want a Tyler survival channel now.

Props to how much effort Tyler puts into these videos for our entertainment!!!

Some people believe that Angels came and gave us knowledge that helped us know what we know today. Yes more of this content please! You did an awesome job! Thank you for everything you do!

Should do a video where you use survival tools you already have from your previous videos that would be interesting

You are supposed to slowly scrape off some of the flint, make a little pile of flint shavings and then strike the flint and it will catch on fire. Also dig in your pockets for pocket lint.

Loved this video for sure. We need longer videos of you surviving in the woods! ❤❤ and thankfully no sea bears around!

If you found pine needles look for the pine tree that must have a knot filled with sap, that will help you a lot

we need to see a true Tyler survival challenge. This was a half day camping challenge lol. 5 days, no lighter, but any ferro rod you want. I HAVE to see what you hunt for food and scavenge for water.

I knew this video would be great. My favorite thing about Tyler is that he knows that he doesn't know things and doesn't research before doing anything. Actually a great way to show how hard or easy a product is to use

There is so much wrong with this. 😂 thanks for the laughs man. Les Stroud would be proud 🎉

The way Tyler just tosses everything over his shoulder after covering the things he bought

Great video, Tyler. I really enjoyed this style of content. Keep it up!

You should do more videos like this and maybe even go on trips very good work

What you need to do is- a live survival. So we can tell you what to do!😂

Dude, was that the most level spot you could find? 😂 Lotta fun for a hunny.

Had to click the like button for seabears! You're protected now!

I enjoyed it always enjoy his videos no matter if it was not done 100% correctly just shows nobody is perfect and we don’t know everything but we do what we can and that’s why I enjoy this man’s videos just a guy making videos Keep it up Tyler the sparkers are not always easy to use they can be stupid sometimes

Last time I was this early, my father was still around
