Alright, I'm on my way out to the woods to do my fire in the rain challenge for the hardwoodsman tab. Obviously, as you can see, it's a grey rainy day out and the perfect day to do this challenge. Alright, it is raining. It's not pouring, definitely not. But it's been this steady rain all day and I know the wood's going to be saturated. My camera's getting wet and I forgot the brand of tarp too, which is awesome. But I just wanted to be truthful about how much it is raining and Try not to play it up like it like it's raining more than it is. Alright, this is the ditch I've got across I've got some new boots New surplus boots, so it's time to see how good they were. Okay, I can't really mess around I noticed just now I only have 12 minutes of that 12 minutes of battery life On my camera. So on the way into where I'm setting up here. I picked up this bark. It's big. It's dry and I'm going to keep it covered up like that. Like Terry said, like a dry sandwich in there. I'll get back to you. That's going to be my stick or my piece of wood. It's not completely standing straight up, but that's all right. You can see the moisture on here anyway. Everything's freaking soaked. Go on. Two pieces I want to work with. All right, all my split wood is under there. I have to just process it. I'm keeping it dry in the sandwiched bark and I messed up. I was trying to rush and I cut myself really bad actually. I gotta take care of that. All right, it's really starting to come down. I got my prep done though. I've got my shavings, my big stuff. It's not in order because I'm kind of rushing. And my small and my medium stuff there. My finger pretty bad, it's all mangled and my camera's getting soaked. So I'm gonna cut this off. Right now I've got five minutes left on there. I'm gonna call this a success. It's pretty frickin' wet, you can see on there. I don't know, I'm wet. It was hard to light the fire. I did all the work here, and you're just gonna have to take my word for it. I couldn't keep the camera running the whole time. All right, thanks Iz, especially for this challenge. I was looking forward to it all day, thanks. All right, one last shot of the fire just to let you guys know it's going strong. I did all the work with a baton, a saw, and my Green River, and my Green River bit me on the pinky right there. Pretty nasty.
