My Favorite Type Of Fire For Wet Conditions

Lily- have used this method of fire several times & seems to b best all the way around. If U feather the inside half of the log cabin "logs"- U can increase the speed n which the fire takes off. Sometimes little things will help n the long run. Thanks for all the great info- sure has helped me!

but.. where is dax?? x'D ... well great video :D!!

Easy to understand, good job. I am really into doing a mini Swedish log method in the silver fire stove, gives a 30 min burn so if like me wanting a simple bit of fire, it gives the ambiance with out to much fuss and is stealthy if you don't want attention drawn in more localized woods. i must get a nife as my billhook is to heavy any recs?

Great video. Definitely going to try it now.

Slightly different 'log cabin' method than I've used...can't wait to try it!!

what kind of knife is that. i like the strong thick blade. also i just subscribed and was curious what country are you from?

This worked really well for me after a day of rain. I think a key factor is making sure the structure of your fire lay is hard wood, such as oak. I think pine would burn up too quickly causing the fire to collapse.

that fire was cool

Nice vid.Nice life...

Google tips

Lilly, nice fire lesson. Thx Tony Silicon Valley California.

very cool survival Lilly

That fire is as almost as hot as the maker....

where can l buy that knife?....link please?

hey lilly Great video :)

great video! We need more females like you here in the U.S.

Hi lilly, I noticed you used some char cloth to catch the spark from the fire steel. How do you prepare a supply of char cloth, and what is the best type of cloth to use? Please keep on making these great videos.

Righteous fire, Lilly.

Lilly you rock! Nice vid!!!

Lilly, Du bist einfach die Beste!

The flint and steel was a nice touch.

i can feel the heat!

Love char cloth! Good video!

Very good job of getting the fire going from scratch with the right materials from the forest... What do you use in the box that appears to be black in color.. ? Seems to take right off whatever the material is ...?

funny video

love lilly

My favorite fire is dragon fire. Hey I'm Targaeryn.

Happy New Year lilly

Thanks for sharing! :)

I disagree. If you've fallen into a creek in cold weather, you need to get inside of a space blanket bag while you remove the wet clothing, warm yourself with the reflected heat and metabolic heat of exercise, and THEN worry about a fire. You need 3 fires, with you in the cent of them. or one side of you freezes while the other burns. getting that much fire wood gathered takes FAR too long if you are out in the cold wind, while you're wet. Also, large fires require you to stay far away from them. so it's just a waste of precious time, gathering all that wood. and you'll still need to dry out your clothing. So give me the Mylar bag, and I'll go looking for some rocks that I can heat up, wrap them in my clothing to dry the clothes. Hanging stuff over a fire requires constant attention be paid to the level of heat, or you're either not drying the clothes or you're burning them. I can bring the clothing -wrapped stones inside of the bag with me and go to sleep, if need be. Yes, the mylar creates condensation issues, but those issues are several hours ahead of you in time. If you get wet and it's cold, you can easily be rendered unable to help yourself in a minuter or 2! That is, unable to start a fire or even manipulate a zipper, cause you are shivering too hard to achieve those goals.

a small woman can be accomodated inside of a bag made of a standard , 5x7 ft "heavy duty" space blanket, with a strip of cloth sewn all around, and snaps added every few inches. However, a 6 ft, 200 lb man needs a bag that's more like 6.5 x 7.5, for complete coverage. Keep your mouth and nose near a small hole in the bag, resulting from leaving one snap in the un-snapped condition. This mylar bag is not effected by its getting wet, and there's no zippers to jam or break. But you'll have to make it yourself cause no manufacturer has had enough sense to offer such a bag for sale.

Hi Lilly I’m very curious about that thing to use to start a fire. I never see it before

One thought: ahead of time, prior to going out to the woods, it dawns on me that sewing an 8" by 11" bag made out of thin cheesecloth or mueslin with a long purse strap would be IDEAL for storing and drying out grass for fires. Reason: you can stuff the bag with grass to be dried and then put it on underneath all of your clothes. The proximity of the thin-cloth bag right next to your skin underneath heat-trapping garments should speed the drying process even faster.

I discovered an excellent way to keep a fire going in an absolute downpour, and that's by creating a Dakota fire pit large enough to burn larger logs, and then placing wet lumber you plan to use later over top of the smoke stack. This blocks most of the water from getting into the pit, to the point that the fire doesn't waste much energy, and the heat of the flames will dry the lumber to be used later. As an added bonus, this creates lots of steam, which can help transfer heat. I used this technique while it was raining in November, when the rain was so cold I was losing feeling in my feet, and using a cloak to create a chimney effect kept me perfectly dry and warm when the outside temperature was below freezing and the rain was bad enough to put out a regular fire

So all I need is a magical jacket that doesn't condense moisture into the inside, and a perfectly dry log. I will get right on that

Fire is like having your best friend with you with there is nobody there.

If I was wandering around in the forest and I bumped into you, I would run like hell. LOL

Thank you !

Shawn James "My Self Reliance" sent me over to you and it turns out I had already been watching your videos but didn't connect the name. He had some very nice things to say about you and we know he is a real gentleman. There are just not enough men like him around these days. Anyway, glad to match the name with the girl. You have great tips Lily. Thank you.

hey Lilly ur Awsome also heavey duty r really cool stuff big time

Dat's hawt!

how is that freaking wet wood when I get wet wood I take the weight of myself and find that much news paper, then I light it up. Then guess what I freaking still can’t light twigs smaller than hair

That camp fire sounded magical

If your doing to take flint and char cloth what’s the difference in using a lighter?

Hi Lilly i’m one of your biggest fans I’m trying to get you to 1 million Subscribers

Very nice fire!

Sehr gut, UberlebLilly.
