Fire with a Hatchet and a Mylar Blanket 

Thank you for providing proof that it is not the bushcraft tool, but the bushcrafter.

Best survival Bushcraft channel. Period. Liked. Subscribed. Notified. And binge watching. Keep em coming. Wet PNW is tough on fire and I'm learning a lot. Thank you.

That was beautiful. I loved the pink wood coal extension, and I would never have thought of using the mylar for cordage. Fantastic.

I would have been money that the mylar would be too slick to turn the spindle. But I would never bet against you getting the fire going somehow. You're a wizard NW.

It's not just your superior fire making ability that makes this video important . It is your use of knives & hatchets in the most efficient way possible to manufacture what you need . Great video as usual NWP .

Another great video. Your videography sure puts my videos to shame. Your firecraft skills continue to be among the best out there.

"We are not worthy" LOL Very impressive. The feathersticks looked like they should be on the cover of a bushcraft magazine. Thanks for a great video!

The best thing about this video is that there was no talking over it. Fantastic video!

Great video, and I must add those were the best feather sticks I have ever seen or done. Thanks again for sharing

That was the best bowdrill video ever. The anchored hatchet used like a chef's mandolin to make kindling then two massive nests was super efficient. Favorite was the close-up of dust and coal generation with the shadow of the bow action in the background. Bravo!

I have never seen a more impressive feather stick! Excellent vid!

Glad you showed you do not need a 100 to 200 hatchet to do this. Great job.

The way you made the feather stick was outstanding! , Definitely going to add that technique to my skill set , thanks for the lesson , much appreciated !

The mother of all feathersticks! And that mylar blanket cordage was excellent. Congratulations and thank you.

Working on the fallen tree is such a great idea, you're up off that wet ground and saving your back at the same time. I think it was 5:27 where you showed all the resources you created is just mind blowing.

Amazing. I never figured that the Mylar would hold up. All I can say is wow ! Amazing from start to flames.

Now that is a mylar use I wouldnt have thought of and excellent use of the hatchet!

I would have never thought that was posible with a mylar blanket, thanks for sharing.

Another outstanding video, Sir! You give new meaning to the phrase, "Never say die!" All the best!

Your method is a totally new approach . Thanks for sharing and ATB .

i'm watching your videos in amazement. Your skills are off the charts and your editing and videography are uncanny. I am totally jealous. When looking at your subscriber button I can't believe you don't have 2 million subscribers. Keep up the great work, I am definitely going to school when watching your videos.

And BTW, I have never seen anything like that before! Mad props, man! Danged sharp axe, too. At a point it's easy to imagine that you've learned everything there is to know about fire but stuff this shows I'm wrong!

Good video. I like the way you bring 'outside the box' thinking to the art of fire making.

Man I didnt think wet friction fire was viable but just made my first wet wood fire. Used calories to dry the wood out brilliant. Thanks for the direction.

Your videos are superb and refreshingly creative. Thank you!

I'm a young guy in the PNW who has limited outdoors experience, but I've become so interested in bushcraft lately that I've taken to the woods to finally test the things that I've learned. The PNW seems to be a rather difficult place to learn as a beginner, but once you get it down you could survive anywhere. The first few camping trips I was incapable of even starting a fire, and it brought me down and left me wondering if this was right for me. Now that I've found your videos, I've payed more attention to the details and look forward to making progress in all the skills that you show. Thank you for what you do!

More videos like this should be as regular tv education, excellent, expert in the field, thanks so much There's always something new to learn, we need more people like you, instead of destroying things, creative things are great.

Great videos anything under 20 minutes and a limited amount of dialog is perfect 👌

Enjoyed the video. Amazing material with so many useful properties.

very nice, another use for a space blanket

Those are some impressive skills. Pleasure to watch.

just great work. showing real skills the right way. Very well done. A masterful job. Making things look simple and eazy when it can be a real challenge is the sign of a master.

Very cool featherstick bundle! Awesome video!

Beautiful. Awesome shot of your shadow in the snow bow drilling.

Excellent use of the small Axe

Great video!Look forward to more

Amazing... A master at work. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent use of alternative materials on hand, using the mylar blanket. I also really like the way you made your feather sticks I will have to try that

Extremely cool video! I enjoy watching it very much. Thanks for creating such videos.

Thank you for another great video. You made my night, when I saw you posted this video! Awesome!

I liked the ways you used your Gerber backpacker hatchet, I will try these methods with mine as well. Thank you!

I love your skillset bro! Never thought of mylar as cordage but as soon as you started cutting it, it clicked in my head. Epic bow dril!

Nice. and what a great way to make feather sticks really fast. I have to try this out my self, both the shavings making and the mylar blanket rope

Amazing NW. Simply amazing. I love the atmosphere you create in you videos and you fire techniques amaze me all the time. Good Job keep it up looking forward for your next video

Really enjoyed this vid Primate.

Hay good to see you out making videos, had not seen you in a while. Very nice work on the whole video but those feather sticks were really good.

At first I thought the mylar was for a solar method. Good job!!

Mesmerizing. I've learned something new. Thanks.

Good stuff. Well done.

Nicely done.

I just subbed, a mylar blanket used as a bow string, very cool idea, thanks for this video and well done.

Coolest looking feather stick ever

Awesome video brother, love the Mylar cordage idea. Bill

Great job. Thanks and take care.

Great job!!!

AWWW heck ! Now I gotta try that !? Love it !

Nice man,never thought of using a mylar blanket for that,I have used it for solar and after about a hour I had success lol thanks for sharing

Absolutely a great video and learned a ton from watching it. I subscribed to it and thumbs up

Great filming,good point of view Well done,looks like a delicious dinner Atb Steve

Nice video, survival sherpa told me about your channel since you are in Washington too. I really liked the way you used your axe to make a feather stick.

Very impressive and phenomenal camera work!

Pretty creative Primate. That little chopper works better than it looks.

Great job as usual 🖒🔥

Wow that was impressive.... I never would have thought that mylar strip would be strong enough to stand up to use in a bow drill...

Hey! Its Dave from Agar's Academy.. I can't tell you how impressed I am.

Awesome skills. Just got yourself a new subscriber

This is great! Most of the fire drills I see are made with east coast or Alaska woods. This is a real nice change and I can actually put one together and use it. I am over on the west sound and I have more than sufficient Red Alder along with Big Leaf Maple, Cedar, Hemlock and Douglas Fir to play with. I have just subscribed and plan on binge watching to see what else I can learn from you. Thank you very much for posting this

ok seriously!!! that was incredible!!!!!
