However you will be pleased to know that I have already done a video specifically covering how to use a Firesteel and different techniques etc :)
All the best,
I try to use, as often as possible, the Dakota fire hole method. Dig a hole 1 ft X 1 ft X 1 ft deep in the ground and a sister hole 4" X 4" about 1 ft (preferably up wind) from the mother hole and at a 45 degree angle to the bottom of the mother hole.
The sides of the mother hole act as a chimney and draws air into the mother hole via the sister hole. The bottom is like a blast furnace and gives off great heat. Place green branches like a grid over the mother hole and put your pots on it to cook, boil water or just roast your meat or fish directly on the green branches.
Your fire cannot be seen unless you are right on top of it and the chimney effect reduces smoke almost to nothing.
After you douse your fire and have ensured that the fire is completely out, just bury the two holes and scatter leaf litter about and , PRESTO! No one can spot where your fire was.
Keep up the great work! You guys are fantastic!
Keep up the good work.
Nice vid as usual and a nice reminder that a lighter is the easiest way to start a fire! :-)
NB I'm not ex SAS and would never claim to be. I'm ex forces and actually failed Special Forces selection but these skills were still taught to us so we could stay in the field longer if need be or stay hidden for E and E.
