Learn primitive fire starting techniques with me!

Starting a fire from sparks using rocks is one of the most valuable primitive fire starting methods. In this video, I teach you how to identify spark creating rocks that are commonly found in nature.

I explain how rocks like flint, chert, and quartz have properties that allow them to produce sparks when struck against hardened steel. I show examples of rocks that work well and how to prepare them.

I also show you a trick to figure out if your rock is the proper hardness for this technique.

Learning to harness the natural fire starting properties of rocks gives you a reliable way to start fires without matches or tools. With sparks from stones, you can stay warm and survive in the wilderness using this ancient bushcraft skill.

This is a pretty cool little instructional video, thanks for using my community. I will look out for the next one because, well, who doesn't love fire right?

I hope you got a Band-aid on that finger. 😊

Hi there! I just discovered your community and it fits my content perfectly. I am starting a new survival series, and I will be glad to share it here! And yes, I did get my finger patched up. 😁

I liked how you added some words to the post, a requirement for people leaving videos in my communities, as I could decide whether to actually look at the video. Which I often don't. I don't like people dropping a video with there words that say, here's my video and leaving. Those get muted.

So, I appreciated your effort, including almost losing your arm in a rock-bresking incident to get this post together.

Have a nice weekend up there.

Hey Regina,
The last time I achieved sparks was when I was about 10 years old. I was always fascinated by the idea, but my rock collection was always of whatever rocks I could find.

> A luck of the draw

I agree, somedays I got lucky (to see sparks but NEVER to start a fire, thank goodness)... and other days I'd toss all my rocks and just ride home on my bike defeated (or without a spark).😆

Nice to see you back:)))

Hi Milly!

Oh, that is awesome you discovered spark making rocks as a kid! Very cool. You are a survivalist at heart!

I am focusing on a new survival series which I am very excited about. I want to be more involved in the HIVE community in general, I hope to get there one day.
