What's up guys black Scout survival and today we're gonna be talking about how to make char cloth and you know char cloth would not be my first line of tinder materials I wouldn't walk out in the wilderness with that as my tender to me I view it more as something you use for a second fire you know your next fire if you get in a survival situation.

You don't have ideal tender not ideal conditions char cloth would be beneficial for you to make looking at you know the next fire making it as easy as possible and char cloth obviously is not waterproof but it will take a spark at a very low degree rating and also the wind helps it light up and we're going to start off in.

The same position as you would be let's say you're in the wilderness and you start off and you don't have anything like I'm about to do a bow-drill fire make my fire and then from that point I'm gonna make my char cloth and we're gonna go over two ways of doing that as well and then show that char cloth making that next fire as well and just.

The importance of it let's go ahead and get started with it smoke alright guys so now that we got the fire started you can do charcoal in two ways and I got a little tin here that has some denim in it from your jeans and that's good material so if you're in an average situation you know you can cut.

Some of your jean material down at your legs to do this if this little tins got a hole in it so we can you know just toss this in the fire close to it and let it heat up you know but the other thing we can do is is use our canteen I'll go ahead and open this canteen up use a canteen and a canteen cup and a bandana and even those canteens got.

Water and it's not a problem and just take some strips of your cotton bandana and just cut up you don't want real big strips that's easier whenever it's smaller and you'll just stuff those in there and you'll just put the canteen cup over the top of the canteen and you'll just put it in the fire as well all right.

Guys so we've it's been probably about 10 minutes or so and uh we're gonna pull these off and see exactly what this looks like let these cool down you don't ever want to open them up immediately because if you do the material could combust and essentially the process of making char cloth is you're you know you got the fire triangle but you know you.

Got heat fuel and oxygen you're starving that oxygen and basically making the materials carbon same way as like charcoal coal now pulled this one off because canteen is kind of smoking a little bit you can see smoking out the cracks there but it takes a real low-temperature spark and you can use it for a variety of different things so.

We're just gonna let these cool down just for a few minutes and then we'll check them out all right guys so we just pulled them off and let them cool down a bit this one is still will warm somewhere where gloves just the cause larger surface area it's gonna take longer to cool down but I'll go ahead and open a smaller tin first and this.

One is the one that had a little tiny hole and I use like a tack for and this was denim I put in here and all that's good usable char cloth there and we'll do a close up here in a second Shawn taking a spark just to test it there we go all good usable to our fault as well alright guys just so you have a closer looking to see all this good.

Usable char cloth there in that tin and you can see that hole is very very small you wanna make sure it's very small so don't give it a lot of oxygen and that's denim and then the chunks of the bandanna from the canteen and all that's good as well and we'll just throw a spark on it real quick just to show you guys it works.

Yeah into that piece of dental they're smoking there's the piece of bandanna right there okay guys so that was how to make char cloth and basically this video was you know one instructional to show you how to do a you know how to make the torque hole but also to show month.

Multi-functionality of your gear you know your campaign you know I wouldn't pour my water out if I did have to do this I would consume it all make my char cloth thing go get some more water in bollock you know purify this in fact whatever I needed to do but that's a good way to make your you know your multifunctional.

Items and or if you're just carrying around a tin like this you know a lot of people carry survival gear you're carrying pellets or whatever it may be you got a little toy like this it's just so it shows you the multi functionality of kit you know using a bandanna or your denim from your jeans so just you know good thing to put the toolbox but check.
