Flint And Steel, Never Struggle With Dull Flint, Chert, or Quartz Again. Use Bipolar Percussion! 

Bipolar Percussion uses a hand sized anvil stone and hammer stone to break usable shards off of your old dull pieces of Flint, Chert, and Quartz... all the while, replacing and renewing those dull and worn out edges with new sharp ones. Come have a look at the difference in my chert and quartz as I apply The BP technique and try out the shards for Flint and Steel ignition of char cloth and charred Punk Wood.

David....sir you have helped me tremendously in the past 2yrs with my flint and steel method of starting fires...I have always been an outdoorsman for as long as I can remember , as kids my father challenged me to learn from our woods and nature , to become a better hunter and conservator for the forest around me....I live nearly 9 months of the year in the woods as they did when we first arrived in the states...just being among everything I hold dear , and when I saw your videos on the method which I spoke about earlier...I was hooked...it's not exactly what the natives did but I can live with that to survive...sir....please keep doing what you are doing for everyone and passing on your knowledge and God bless you and your family sir ✌‼️

The slow-mo when you dropped the piece was great.

You really should have more subscribers. I don't 'do' firestarting but I find your videos very educational and entertaining. One month later update. Well, now thanks to David West I do 'do' the fire roll. I can get ignition about 80-90% of my tries. I got ignition today just with the cotton ball - no ashes except for the residue on the faces of the two boards.

I never thought a tiny piece would be sufficient for this however, nice to have this knowledge in the ol' toolbox! And a great way to conserve your resources, especially in a survival situation. Thanks David.

Some people collect metal or other minerals and wow your master at it 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I think that must be a world record for smallest piece of flint used!!! Thanks

With the char cloth lying on top, I can never tell if you are striking the quarts/chert on the up stroke or the down stroke. Love your videos.

David, I have learned so much from your videos! Thank you! Just recently got into flint (actually, quartz) and steel fire-starting. And, in time, my chunk of quartz got dulled. "Bipolar percussion" was the solution. No problem, I have plenty of rocks, locally, for hammer and anvil. But I wanted to comment that the technique has this caveat: it creates some small but very sharp fragments that can be a problem. A shop vacuum is helpful in cleaning them up.

The Fire Guy. Nobody knows more.

Thanks, David, för valuble knowledge👍

I used to throw away all those small pieces, not any more. Thanks for sharing.

You are a wise man sir that's why I love to see your videos

Thank you so much for the method that you described so elegantly in this program. I am looking forward to trying this technique out.

You sparked my interest on this one. And banged out another awesome video....:) Thanks Mr. David

That just looks so simple. I have the steps to doing this now. I have to shape the steel, make the char and I've got quartz in the back yard. But, I especially like the fire roll presentations

Finally a video to show how to do this. Thanks for sharing and God bless.

Thank you for being such a great teacher and motivator David! Keep fires and instruction coming!

Thanks 🙏👍👍😃

Hi i am from India

Good video. Thanks.

It just goes to show how wrong we can be, and how narrow our focus can be. You think outside the box and get it done. I see so much more becsuse of you. I find myself looking at things and thinking to myself " I wonder if that will work". Thank you .

You sir, are a wise man! Thanks brother 👍👍👍

Oh happy day to you my dear friend.this is a awesome video.very informative.thank you.

Cool video!

Very helpful information, thanks for sharing all your knowledge... 👍

Thanks Fire Wizard!!!

Strong work, my friend.

Well done Thank You

im an amateur at flint and steel. I once had a little piece of quartz stuck in my thumb. Pretty darn painful

Hi David, is there anything special about the steels you use, or will just about any bit of iron or steel produce the spark? Maybe there is a best choice, and the others work less well? Your channel is a true education in these methods, and learning the principles from you is helping me so much. Of course I now need to do the practical stage of the work! Thanks!

Hi David, very informative video, was wondering, do you make your char material in the hobo stove or in a regular campfire

Hi David. Can you inform me as to where I can find the Chert stone. I know we live in the same area and I can find Quartz everywhere but the Chert / Flint rocks elude me. Many thanks for the vids. You are the Firestarter Guru !

Great information. Have you ever used a fire piston?

Hi David, are there any materials that can take a spark from flint and steel other than char?
