what's going on guys black scout survival and today i'm going to show you a quick tip on making fire so or how to strike a ferret rod because i see a lot of people say a lot of different things you know the the most what i see i'll see people comment in videos.

Because i prefer the striking towards technique like this right and i'll see people say no hold it down and pull it like this yeah i know there's a guy on youtube that says to do this right here this only works for tinder that that is you know like survival tenders.

Um doing like this you're going to create directed sparks whereas this is dropping and you're hoping it hits onto your tender now if it's really highly combustible tender then yeah it'll work you know but a lot of things that you find in nature like you're in a survival situation.

You need those direct sparks and a lot of heat to try to heat up that another thing is you'll be scraping off some of the material onto the surface that may not be lit and so whenever it does light it burns and lights that material so doing this it's kind of like dropping.

Rocks on something whereas if i throw rocks into an area think about that imagine that so something like this where i may you know you know i can hit the tinder right which is which will work you know something like that something like cotton balls you know if this.

If it's some kind of petroleum jelly cotton balls you know something like this you know yeah me dropping it is going to work just fine right that's fine right but what if we have like i said a natural material a natural material like a feather stick right and we're we're just kind of you know doing this.

Kind of thing and you're in a stroller situation you're about to die right so all i have to do is direct my sparks right down into the ferro rod i mean the ferro rod into the into the feather stick and it's going to light it up right just like that so you can try all day the other way.

And you could wind up dying right and i just wanted to spell you know you know take this rumor away because of people you know doing this and then they want to get a situation and and want to you know losing their life because they froze to death because they're trying something they saw on.

Youtube directing sparks is always better way to practice because in reality when you're stressed and you're trying to figure it out and you're freezing and you're panicking do this every time right even if it's regular tender right boom easy one strike right.

One strike well i put it another it's burning direct your sparks it just makes sense anyhow guys hope you enjoyed that video hopefully that tip helps leave a comment and like and as always thanks for watching black scout survival
