Great kit. One suggestion however, putting the wire saw right behind your water bag could have disasterous results. Considering it's limited usefulness, you might just leave it out. Keep up your very informative posts.

Warning: breathing the air these days is unhealthy

Tampons and a chapstick, much better than faffing about doing this.

No mylar blanket. Did I miss water purification

Someone is going to commercialize this and make it into a product (like matches) and patent it and people are going to be kicking themselves, saying I THOUGHT OF THAT FIRST (or a long time ago). Coleman are you listening?

Your 11th and 12th C could be calories and care kit. 😉

Very difficult to obtain individual sachets of just coffee in the UK now. You can get tons of 2-in-1,3-in-1, sachets in various varieties from many manufacturers BUT pure, simple straightforward coffee, in a sachet, is very hard to find.

You need a poncho (or two) and/or two construction trash bags for a minimal sleep system! What about a canteen with a nesting canteen cup and stove? Does it rain non-stop year round? You need a real IFAK, especially if you go out alone! A few snacks to keep your energy up because shit happens and things can go downhill very quickly!

Welcome back, PJ, and thanks for showing such a compact and well organized cook kit. There's nothing wrong with instant coffee, I like to use the little sealed individual packets for camping and traveling. Nabob used to make them, but Tim Hortons and Starbucks packs are more readily available in my part of Canada now. I hope you're getting better steadily as long COVID can be challenging.

Welcome back!

Ahem....... Strange machines? ah well ...

In Australia we use cubes of compressed gum leaves about the size of a matchbox. Ironically, they are called Bush Fire Starters. 🍺😎🦘🦘🦘

I found the best straws are "milk shake" straws for making these waterproof firestarters.

Fantastic idea! Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

Great video! These old timers in France were stacking tealight candles in a plastic tube and using one of them to start their fires. That and their old zippos and they were good to go for starting a fire. One of them swore by a little jar about 2/3 times the height of the tealight and he could hold twigs over the top to get them lighted. He said it works a dream in wind and rain.

Just ordered one and you video is a helpful guide. Thanks mate!

terrific vid. You can turn the pocket clip around and slide it onto the brim. My apologies if this was previously mentioned.

C’est

Nice!!! Thank you. I dont like the fact of burning plastic but it is much easier than sealing a cotton round in wax! Easy to carry , definitely waterproof, can store many of these without using much space! God bless you! Jesus is the only way!

I m going to try it out...use a pair of chopstick to dip the cotton wool into the jar then light it. Perhaps collect some dry pine needles? I nomally buy fire lighters...I think I want to home made.

OMG. Learn to edit! What a waste of time. This video should have been 2 minutes.

I've seen Paul Mesner using a similar one recently although his has an extendible nozzle. But yours looks very compact. I use Clipper lighters with the long nose which is only about an inch longer than a standard one, but its good for lighting alcohol burners. If I'm feeling flush I'll give that one you showed a go. Thanks for the video.

Excellent video and a nice bit of kit. Thanks for not putting the pot on the flame before filling it. So many other folks do that in their videos and I just detest it.

How about using a large hypodermic syringe to inject the jelly. Than a cotton ball followed by another injection of jelly . Seal and then you could knead the tube to thoroughly combine the two. Same end product with no mess.

Thank you for the video, very informative. I learned something new today.

I wrap mine with wax paper and twist the ends like a hard candy. The wax paper takes a spark easily.

the nice thing about vaseline on your hands is that they won't burn as easily. it is protective and good for hydrating skin anyway

I do something similar to this But I also mix in some magnesium shavings…… Just make sure it catches and stays lit pretty good

Nice work. Fantastic way to waterproof!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Might be a dumb question 😅 but os it safe to cook over? Or will the chemicals from the started go into the food? And if sealed how long can they be stored ?

I was going to put some Vaseline infused cotton-balls inside a ziploc bag and then those inside of a plastic pill bottles and leave them in my truck in case of an emergency. Obviously at times the truck is sitting in the sun during the summer - do you think there is any problem with them getting too hot and combusting or melting enough that the liquid would make it out of the pill bottle?

"Hard Core Survivalists" wouldn't use a lighter at all. Most lighters won't even work in freezing temperatures, so they are pretty much useless. Matches, Ferro rods and flint and steel are what the majority of real survivalists use.

I have almost the Same Items, but inside my Nalgene Stainless Steel Bottle (Container). Inside there's a Fishmouth Opener (Pot Hanger), Waterfilter, Lighter, Fatwoodstick, Ferrowrod, Sewing-Kit, Cotton Bandana, SOL emergency Blanket. Everything is inside a Nalgene-Pouch. The Bottle is waterproof so everything inside it is waterproof.

awesome tip. It keeps it nice and dry too

If you slightly melt the ends they close up really well

Iys called buy a lightet.

Someone needed to make a video showing this method and thanks for doing it. All the best in all future endeavors and Happy Holiday Season.

I built an alcohol stove with an old Daisy pellet can I had laying around in 2017ish. I used some welders' carbon felt instead of fiberglass to absorb the liquid, no spills, some screening from a tea leaf strainer to hold the felt in place. It holds 2 oz. or 60 ml of alcohol and with 1 oz of fuel will burn over 15 minutes. I use a Zen Camps wind screen/burner that works with alcohol or solid fuel and, though not designed that way, have used a small twig fire inside. I like things that can work with multiple options. At 76 years old, I like things that work well rather than being the lightest thing in the world. Function over form as it were.

This also works with aquafor it don’t gotta be Vaseline. Tested it myself cuz I keep aquafor on hand.

Get better soon!

You can use a stick or a No. 2 pencil works really well to push the cotton ball in with also. This is handy, especially if you are making a large batch.

Hi it’s peter

I use cotton flat rounds, dipped in wax, stuck to birch bark round, with Vaseline sticking all together. Being disabled had time to make a dozen. Use fat wood mini sticks over fire.

The main problem now is plastic straw's are banned I use to get mine from Mc Ds but they are now cardboard

Vaseline is nice but carmex works great and if you get it in the tube it won't be messy and will not dry out and it serves as a lip moisturizer and fire starter.

👍🏻
