Fire lighting using the V Lay


A couple of weeks ago we made a video showing you how to light a fire with a tinder bundle and afterwards I realised that whilst I mentioned the V Lay I didn’t go into any detail as to what it is.  So in this video I go through the mechanics and benefits of fire lighting using the V Lay.  It’s probably worth while taking a look at this post from 2019 around how to light a fire as well.

We teach fire lighting using the V Lay, on our 1 Day Bushcraft Course, our as well as on our 2 Day & 5 Day Bushcraft Courses, the IOL Bushcraft Competency Course and also our 2 Day & 5 Day Survival Courses.  You can see plenty of photos from all of these courses on our Facebook page.
