Watch as Scouts participate in the Olympic Biathlon Experience at Soldier Hollow Cross-Country Ski Resort, the site of the 2002 Winter Olympic biathlon.
I have a flint’n'steel I am hopeing to use it this saturday
theres another way. take any battery, and attatch steel wool to both ends. itll start to spark, and at that moment you gently blow it and add it to the tinder. itll be hot, but its either that or go without fire…
some swiss army knives have a magnifling glass on them
what if its cloudy? then your going to be out of luck. Thats why i stick with a good ol’ flint an steel
Great Video with good techniques and detail. A video great for Wilderness Survival Merit Badge. I have tried a three techniques and they work.
Have you ever heard of the Scout Motto, Be Prepared? If so, you probably wont need these tips. Still good to know if you’re lost in the woods. Overall great video.:) 
Scouting is also about learning HOW to be prepared so these tips are very helpful.
thats really cool now I know what to do if I ever get lost
My scout troop went on a camping trip and one of our tenderfoots had gotten lost, he was gone overnight. He was not catching on with survival techniques as fast as the other scouts so I taught him in private classes. When he was lost he used a bow drill to start a fire, then he built a lean-to shelter to sleep on for the night. Thanks to this vidio I was able to teach him the skills that saved his life.
I was a Boy Scout, am an Eagle Scout, and love building fires. Great job on the video guys! But I would have to say that there are many more than just three ways to build a fire. For those of you who want to survive anywhere, here are a few more methods =)
- Single(1) match
- Battery and steel wool
- Burning laser light
- Lighter
- Drop of water in jar/cup
- Fire from ice – the natural lens
- Pop can and chocolate – parabolic lens
Have fun!
This is an EXCELLENT video! It teaches the basics of fire starting in a simple manner that is easily understandable. Great Job!!
The flint and steel is awsome I have started thousands of fires with the stuff.
Helpful I could do that on new years for a bonfire. But I do have matches, but they wont last longer than week.
I suppose a butane lighter wou.ld count as not using matches! 
they need to dig a very small wide hole and put rocks around it to make a fire pit ive seen so many flammable things aroud that. they should also put a little bit of green grass in there. the water in the grass will evaporate and the grass will burn longer.
This is really cool I want to try, but Remember: Even in a survival situation, try to avoid harming the environment when building your fire. Look for a spot from which a fire could not spread and where the surrounding area would not be damaged.
And be carefull with making sparcs from flint and steel
I have a flint and steel already and they’re really cool I tryed the first technique and it really works!
sweet I’m so buying a steel and flint set for my next campout
There is another way to start a fire by using a battery and steel wool
cool but i dont know what flint rock looks like and where to find one
cool but Remember: Even in a survival situation, try to avoid harming the environment when building your fire. Look for a spot from which a fire could not spread and where the surrounding area would not be damaged.
Yes a really good thing to remember.
A good tinder that I use is charred cloth.
And remember only you can prevent a forest fire.
Great video!Next campout I’m getting a flint and steel set or use a bow saw like I learned here!
There are three ways to start a fire without the help of matches. Each can be effective, and all take lots of practice, but they're actually pretty fun to learn. Watch our step-by-step video to learn how.
Wow, this is really cool, i didn’t even know about this! Awesome! I wanna try!

pedro when is your hand going to pop out of my mailbox
I like how you finally get to see the boss, even though he doesn’t show his head!
so fake! horrible acting. that don’t even look like oedro
Oh, so that’s how pedro is the mailburro, I was always thinking that the post office delivers the magazines
If I had to listen to that voice for much longer I’d go temporarily insane.
The people think the boss is real. He’s just an animation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like it, but isn’t pedro purple? it’s still good anyway.
Hey Pedro, how come the boss never shows his face huh?
This is an awesome way to make boys life. i cant belive we actully got to see the boss too!
I watched the behind the scenes of the making of Boys Life. I loved it! I want to be that when I grow up.
i think the best part about the video was seeing the printing!
Pedro takes you on an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour to see how Boys' Life magazine is published.
These scouts are doing great! I can’t wait to try out the trail when it’s finished!
Good to see that the trail is being fixed up in more of the middle of the state. I suppose we’ve got it good here in the mountains where the MTS is already as good at the AT. Though of course it requires ongoing maintenance as does any trail. I’m glad the Boy Scouts are involved in building “North Carolina’s Trail”.
What a great project for Scouting nad the community. I can’t wait to read the whole article.
Congratulations! I look forward to reading more about it. Thanks.
This is a great story about Scouts helping others by building this trail. Keep up the good work guys!
Watch as North Carolina Scouts fend off ticks, poison ivy and some thick vegetation to help clear a 900-mile trail.

I love to fish but usualy I don’t catch anything. Now I know how to fish.
shooter is awsome i caught a twelve pound bass that was unrder a dock that went out about 30 foot in thi water
I allmost got hooked but i saw some one else do the shooter and thay put thare fingers at the back of the hook so i tried it and i didn’t git hooked.
what kind of bait did you use to catch 20 fish, Yo?
Sweet. I will definitely use some of those the next time I’m fishing!
That was info. totally necssary for fishing.
Thanks for the advice.
I plan to use it at Tesomas for my fishing badge.
thanks im going to try it next time i go fishing
this has helped my fishing skills a lot, especially the shooter technique.
Improve your fishing. Reel in some tips from a master caster.

I love the movie and the books. Im going to have a Diary of a Wimpy Kid Birthday party for sure.
I saw the movie and i loved it. I especially like the part where Fregley chases you around his house with a bugar on his finger. That was hillarious and gross all at once.
the books are awesome and the movie rocked the house
Watched the movie it was funny and I loved it!!
I think that it would be pretty cool to meet this guy. He sounds interesting.

I get how you have to be talented and all, but you have to be rich? You can’t just go and audition for something? I know it cost a lil bit of money but… you have to be rich?
The movie was great. The books are awsome. I cant wait for the fifth and last book.
That was a good movie but it did not completly follow the original
storyline that was in the book

I read all the books and loved them. I even have read the “Diary of a wimpy kid movie diary”. I saw the movie on March 24th and it is OK. They show stuff in the comercials that is not in the movie, which was disapointing when they were not there.

spiderwick “the ironwood tree” peace out
i wanna join fencing soo bad some ppl say it helps u learn combat with wepons so…..thats why i wanna join so bad *laughs*
I have always wanted to do fencing and I plan to start next year. I have tried saber fencing and I will go for that
I love fencing! But there’s no fencing leaques around my area….
I’m an intermediate level fencer, and it is pretty awesome… I mainly do foil fencing, but I hope to eventually work up to saber fencing… and believe me, folks… if you pitted a standard-level fencer against a duelist from the Star Wars movies, I’m afraid that the duelists would lose quickly…
-a fencing scout
Yer wrong Obi-Wan can whoop anybody. Those duelists from the movies are fast!

fencing is cool!you can learn how to sword fight!
I’m not into fencing that much. It looks fun though:-}
I took a fencing class so I can fence a little bit…just not that good. I like fencing with the foil. It’s easier to poke than slash.
—(~ <– That's supposed to be a fencing sword…
fencing, the greatest sport in the world,i prever Épée over foil though.

Fencing is a great sport for boys and girls of all ages. There is even wheelchair fencing! Don’t be intimidated, you can find a fencing club in your area.
Many of the members of Venturing Crew 1826 in Illinois have been together since they were Cub Scouts. After crossing over into Boy Scouts, they added fencing to their resume of high-adventure activities. Watch this video of the Venturing fencers in action.
Awesome!
WOW
NO FAIR!!! I WANT TO DO THAT!
The tubing is a lot of fun. I have been there.
