6 Ways To Make Fire With JUTE 

Surprisingly, one of the techniques* only barely worked while the other 5 performed beautifully! I started off with the Fire Roll that I top boarded with an old fire board, then twisted up 4 plies of Jute for a bow drill bowstring, built up that friction fire to cook my tin containing the bowstring into char, solar ignited Jute, solar ignited ashed Jute, ferro rod ignited jute, and lastly ignited the charred Jute Bowstring.

Enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.

Thanks for the demonstrations.

Thank you brother for all you share

Nicely done. Thanks for sharing. See you on the next one.

Great show. Thank you.

An other good videos. Too cold up here in Canada to play outside so lots of time now to watch and catch up on your videos.

Hello again Mr.West. You are best of the fire quest.

Wow, you know how to get this jute twine junkie’s attention. Made my day.

Super interesting, Thanks David

Great content and tips, thanks for showing us. Take care.

Great tips especially the wood ashes one and also never seen the Fire Roll method before Thanks for giving me another tool for the tool box....

Thanks David

A square drill works well, with rounded corners, of course. There is no slippage of the bowstring.

Great job David !!! I was surprised the flint and steel didn't do it

Lol. It's better than rocket science because in a survival situation a rocket isn't going to help me cook food, boil water or stay warm. I'll take the die hard forgotten tried and true old ways.

Shoot small, miss small as my dad always said.

This was a cool video. I liked it alot. Thanks.

A good striker you can keep on you at all times is a P-51 or a P-38 . They have a sharp 90 degree spine plus the little blade if needed but the edges are sharp enough . And of course you would have a excellent can opener also 😉

Wow David! Another informative and entertaining video! Thanks!

👍👍🌟🌟👍👍

CCI standard velocity 22lr ammo is subsonic, cycles semi autos great, and will connect with more energy than most designated subsonic or quiet ammo. It is also more affordable and generally easier to find.

Thanks, David - I have messed around with Jute for tinder but never thought of trying it as char cloth(have a piece of Jute in my tinder bag). Didn't think it was strong enough to make a bowstring so never even thought of doing that but now see how it can be done. Love watching these videos and am going to try the charring bit just to say I did and see what results I get with my old string ball of Jute.

Oh happy day to you my dear friend. You always amaze me. Thank you for sharing another outstanding video looking for to seeing your next video. Stay safe and burn on

Outstanding demonstrations of those techniques. Thank you. Okay I realize I am three years late to this party. Suggestion, turn up your mic, or the sound on your video. My PC had the sound is over 50 and it still was difficult hearing you. Yes, on the video the sound it on its highest setting, yet I must turn up my PC sound very high. Noticed this watching some of your very recent videos as well.

New to the channel and fire making, thank you

Great video. Carrying jute in the back country now.

I carry about a 6 foot hank of waxed jute in my fire kit. I'm a big fan..makes an outstanding birds nest. The wax extends the burn time so it doesn't just burn out before you can get your kindling going.Plus you can use it as a match. Been carrying and using jute for years, but I have to admit..never even thought about charring it, lol. Ash infusing it either for that matter. Love watching you demonstrate all these techniques. I've learned a lot from you! Thanks for all you do, and WEee'll see you on the next one!

I gotta say you're one of, if not, the best fire maker on RU-vid. You make it all look so simple and routine. Love it.

It's probably a good idea to make the fire rolls up ahead of ttime and corry them in a container, just to save soem time.

Did you make a video on sighting in your rifle.

You often refer to “common wood ashes” so im curious to know if that includes the pine straw and leaf ashes from your tinder bundles you use to start fires and then drop them into the stove?

Are you using the wireless mic still? Sound is awesome through the bow drill at least.

Why is it so much quicker to ignite when you add ashes?

Never ever ever ever that dry in the northern Allegheny forest. Not much dry tinder laying around
