I then have a bit of bushcraft fun making fire with the sun and a bow drill. It had been raining pretty hard for a couple of days so its a good example of how you really need to nurture a fire when you first get it going, especially in wet conditions. Whats your favourite way to make fire? I use xanthorrhoea (grass tree) but never take the spike from a growing plant. It can kill the plant and is no good for a fire drill, you need a dead fallen spike as it will be dry. State forests are the best place to look as you can not collect from national parks 0:30 Intro 0:59 How to start a campfire on trail: ultralight method - my favourite method (bic lighter) 1:29 How to have a minimal impact camp fire 3:46 Fire preparation tinder collection in wet conditions, sticks, making a birds nest with lomandra (mat rushes) 4:47 Fire from the sun magnifying method - magnifying glass 6:54 Friction fire bow drill method (see 14:40 for more detail) 9:13 Got the Coal now struggle town to get fire because everything is so wet 13:23 I have a flame - Building and nurturing a fire in wet conditions 14:40 Tips how to use a bow drill for friction fire - what worked for me Warning fire can be hot How to have minimal impact Where possible use a fuel stove. It’s quick easy and leaves no trace. Do your research before you go: -What's the fire danger ratings -Are you allowed to have fires in this particular area at this time of year? Is it a fuel stove only area? Once out there, do your own assessment: -Are current conditions safe? -Is there nice clear area and it’s not too windy? -Is there lots of available firewood? -Is there a good water sources to extinguish the fire -Will your fire blacken rocks or overhangs? Avoid building fires next to rock outcrops where the black scars will remain for many years. -The vegetation at higher elevations or desert areas tend to grow slowly so it’s often best not to have a fire as wood is really limited. -Fallen timber and logs provide important habitat for birds, reptiles and insects and are a critical element to a healthy ecosystem - so only have fires in areas where fallen timber is abundant The best place to build a fire is within an existing fire place Try to keep the area as natural looking as possible. Try to not leave obvious cut marks. You don’t need massive logs. Just branches up to the size of your wrist. Gather wood over a wide area away from camp. Use dry driftwoods good at beach Keep the fire small and burning only for the time you are using it. Don’t burn plastics or metals on a campfire. Never leave a fire or stove unattended. Allow wood to burn completely to ash. Once you have finished with the fire, make sure it is completely out. Use water if you need. It should be completely cold to touch before leaving. Dirt may not completely extinguish the fire. Happy and safe camp fires check out my hiking gear list here: https://kit.co/KateGrarock/australian...
