Nicely done 😊

Amen.

Wish i was there with you to chop that same log in under 2mins no saw or wedge required

I’ve been there with you Darin! Awesome place to go! Thanks for taking me!

great tips! THanks Darin!

Thank you for your video. I’ve watched several on this particular lighter. I will be purchasing several as I feel they are a good addition to any Go bag for those certain emergencies that can arise. But I have a few other fire starting items in redundancy.

Watching you abuse a tool that could potentially save your life by beating on it with a rock stone was a cause for dismay. You know better, and younger viewers might be misled into thinking your actions are acceptable. One suggestion would be to take this video down, restage it, and then reshot the demonstration. Could you highlight that you're using vaseline-impregnated cotton balls to catch the sparks so everyone understands how to get a good flame without tender?

What did you use to make the spark take fire so quick?

i love wilderness

Wow, Great Content. Subscribe Done. Your content quality is excellent and your content ideas are also good. But in your videos have lower audience engagement. Here also some of the issues which you need to fix. If you fix those your video easily ranks on the top search results and you get your potential viewers according to your video niche. I have some plans and tips for you. Can I share?

Bro, that thumbnail.... Is that fungus or what?

Good video, thanks for helping us all with the compass!

Yes I could see the wind.

Hot dogs!!!

Rumble booboo. Growlers

This is the owner of the DoWilderness Utube channel I am looking into why Utubes safe guards against trolling did not work. I m very sorry you had to deal with such people. Keep getting into the wilderness.

Dang, sad to see! Beautiful fish though.

Yup. Looks like a male Coho Salmon. That guy was likely born right in that area, spent 6-16 months "growing up", then headed west- all the way to the waters off Alaska (some as far as Japan). They return after another 18-24 months and fight desperately to get back to pretty much the exact place they were born. The females dig "redds" in the gravel (they turn on their sides and flush out the top layer of gravel), then deposit thousands of eggs for which a male them swims in and deposits his milt to fertilize the eggs. After a week or two, the salmon, their bodies already battered from the fight to get back, slowly decompose to their death- adding valuable nutrients to the waters. (I fully admit I'm a salmon geek).

Great job. L had to laugh because of the mud you threw it into. Rite in the rain keeps its word. Thanks

I have never paid that much attention to the art. It is great! Thanks, D!

Neat hack ! Really appreciate you taking your time to teach us novices the finer points of outdoor enjoyment and how to be safe while doing it . Be safe out there

Great Video! Thanks. Rule 10, if possible go hiking with Darin!

Spectacular, D!

Is the sole of these shoes stiff enough for use with C1 crampons?

I also think that using matches or a more traditional lighter when lighting a stove in order to preserve your hand is the more sensible option It would save the arc lighter for tasks of lighting camp fires maybe solid fuel stoves which may be a tad safer to light with an arc lighter

Wow !! , excellent review I'm glad you did that for the test , I have confidence in the product now, thankyou cheers from Australia 🇦🇺.

Really useful review, thank you!

Thanks for the video. It was interesting to see the difference in performance of the older and newer versions. I have a Fanno Saw Works Fi-1700/Fi-17s-B Heavy Duty 17" Pruning Saw blade, Made in Japan, for my pole saw. It has performed very well for me. I don't know how it compares to others out there, but it is much better than the one I had before, a Craftsman. It came on the "Hi-Reach 19 ft Pole Saws" I bought from GarrettWade. I checked before I attached the blade and it would have fit on the Craftsman Extendable pole saw, but I far prefer the 3 section pole it came with from GarrettWade.

I think i was pretty close on at least melting part of your rain jacket. Nice fire!

Refreshing to be presented to something besides silky saws. Thanks a million bro, much appreciated and enjoyed. Viewing from Scandinavia btw.

I know exactly where that is! Nice day to be out and see the beauty of the area.

Joyride? Seems too nice of a car to wreck though.

You sound high ASF 😂😂

Woww Firestarter very good, for sale website.?

who wonders why people go into the forest and don't come out?

I'll go with the snowing and they didn't see.

He just wanted the best parking spot

They didn’t hit that at full speed, a 4,000 Lb car would’ve snapped those two 4X4 posted or at least uprooted the concrete at 25+ mph

Scenario: Passenger, "You can't go this way!" Driver, "Hold my Beer!" Passenger, "You can't drink and drive!" Driver, "Hold my sekant beeeersaah!"

i would of finished knocking down the sign and used the long board to pry my car off the rock - 😶

3. They took the car in the most rural spot they can think of, wiped the prints and sent the car down the road….

My diagnosis is a loose nut behind the wheel

They were trying to change their oil, easy access

I've been at that spot with you! great view!

Somebody came in hot!

Great job Darin!!

Nice! I start fires very similarly in the Eastern Woodlands of New England. It's more similar in form than composition, of course, since we have different materials. I use round strips of birch bark to hold it all together instead of twine (which I find on the ground while hiking or pull from downed dead trees). Taking a little time to prepare makes starting the fire go so smoothly. A little tip that a friend taught me and I'd like to share with you: when you blow on your fire, take your pointer fingers and thumbs from each hand and pinch them together like this 👌 and then press the tips of them together in front of you. There should a little diamond hole between all your finger tips. Press that to your lips when you blow the fire. It's a more concentrated stream so it saves breath and effort. I hope I explained that well enough for you to try sometime!

Your fly is open but that's part of the show...don't worry about it.

Great job on the fire making 🔥
