#firemaking

I need fire friends — people who don't look at me like a lunatic when I tell them of the fine fatwood haul I just collected.

Still not gonna use flint and steel, though.

The main difference between the teepee method and self feeding method is the direction the coals travel and/or the location of the fuel source in the second phase.

With the teepee method the coals stay at the bottom and the fuel is from above.

Whereas with the self feeding the coals start at the top and slowly burn its way to the bottom and taking the fuel initially from the bottom and later from the sides.

There are three general phases when creating a fire.

The phases being:

1. The initial lighting phase until the first coals appear.
2. Initial coals exist though still have initial kindling and/or need be fed consistantly to keep the fire going.
3. No real knowledge or attention needed to keep the fire going. Just occasionally add fuel and ignore for awhile.

The only #firemaking technique I was taught by my father was the teepee method and it seems like the standard that most people (only) know.

When showing such people the top down method aka the self feeding method, they excuse it with "it is impossible" or "that is not how fire physics works".

Always thought that tree rinds would make good kindling until recently while trying to start a #fireplace and it failing after multiple attempts. Under closer inspection I realized that they were producing a lot of smoke but not feeding the fire.

Further I suspect, even if the rinds are under cover, though stored outside, that they can sponge up some of the humidity and thus leading to the higher smoke amount, especially if it rain in the recent time.

It was great (and surprising) to see a Survivor 45 scene of Katurah speaking for so many fans in saying Jeff should let them VOTE at Final 4 instead of firemaking! Preach! 2nd TikTok today: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT85KStGy/

You can also see Katurah speaking my thoughts as a YouTube Short: https://youtube.com/shorts/Q-0frgHN9Wo?si=kpLH-ro-KWlTp4w2

One reason I think Carolyn will face Carson in Survivor 44 Final 4 Firemaking and beat him is this scene of Yam Yam talking about how good she is. Foreshadowing! (Or fireshadowing!) 2nd TikTok today: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTREHvTda/

#Survivor Final 4 #Firemaking adds to the difficulty of predicting who will go in that spot. But there is 1 player everyone wants to target & they will go in 4th. Today’s 1st TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTREfTGn1/

My hubby has a hobby of seeing how many wood/dried plant stem or root combinations he can tease fire out of by rubbing two sticks together. He usually uses the hand drill method instead of the bow drill.

Today, he reached the 2000th unique combination of materials used.

Odd hobby, but then his wife's odd hobby is sharing news stories. Both do work with trying to bring light to a darkened world, you could say...

My hubs has an interesting hobby: He likes to make friction fires, the rubbing two sticks type of fire making. He started off using a bow, but now mostly does hand drill, where you just spin a stick against a hearth board

What he's really interested in is finding out how many different combinations of plant material he can tease fire out of. Tonight he reached #2163. Problem now is finding new plant materials! He's done the most common.
