Lost Knife, How To Scrape Fatwood And Ferro Rod With Glass

If you find yourself without a knife, a shard of glass from a broken bottle can serve as a handy tool for cutting and scraping materials. Today, our focus will be solely on scraping. On this morning's walk, I found a brown glass bottle. I brought it home, wrapped it securely in t-shirt material, and gave it a good smash, ahhh, too good of a smash. I applied too much force and caused shards to scatter from its cloth coverings. To prevent this, make sure to wrap the bottle thoroughly and use a gentler force. Finding the thick round base of the bottle, I scraped up a nice pile of Fatwood. Then, I used the same shard to scrape my Ferro Rod and easily ignite the Fatwood. This technique will prove invaluable if you ever find yourself in an emergency situation without a knife, needing to make fire. Please follow the LINK below and SUBSCRIBE. Thank you!

That was a great Hulk Hogan shirt ripping technique! Awesome video here as always

I never would have thought of using a broken bottle for a striker. Great info added.

Glass sure scrapes that fatwood really well. Thanks again for original content

David, if I was ever lost and needed a fire, of everyone I have seen in 4 years of videos, & watching every season of Alone, I’d want you with me, lol thanks again for serious creativity

Never knew glass could strike a ferro rod!?! One beer now goes in the pack….(NA)😂

Reminds of 'glassing' a tool handle for tight fit. Thanks David.

Well done again! Thanks for sharing these techniques.

Outstanding video 📹 Mr,West. Brown glass is awesome!! Keep up the awesome work 👌

Thank you Mr. West!! Loving your channel!!❤️💯👍🏿

My father used broken glass bottles as scrapers. I don't think he knew about brown glass staying sharp longer. Not sure how he broke them; I have broken them in a bucket, but some shards can still fly. He mad me a bow and arrow when I was little. A small sapling ½" or so was was notched to hold the string, and the string was just cotton string. He left the bark on the bow. But he used broken glass to scrap the bark off the arrow and smooth it down. It had a rubber suction cup for a tip. I had a lot of fun with that! He also warned me about leaving glass bottles around in sunlight, because if conditions were right, they could start a fire.

Thanks David!

Good demonstration David, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
