- In this quick video we take a look a new fire lighting tool that I recently purchased. Made by Solo Scientific the Tinder Hot Box is a neat storage container for your tinder, but is also a parabolic reflector, signal mirror and can be turned into a makeshift lantern. So for anyone looking for a solid item of kit to put in a fire kit, survival kit or bugout bag, this could be an option. Thanks for watching...…..

I follow alot of Bushcraft, outdoors channels, but you know what brings me back to your channel? You seem like a very humble person with alot of knowledge. I guess that's my way of saying thank you for such good content... Much love from Spain.
Hi Ja vy, many thanks for watching and for your kind words, they are very much appreciated. Thank you for following the channel I know there are 1000's out there, so it is nice that you choose to watch my videos :) I hope you have a great weekend, thanks again, Mark :)
Hi Mark, many thanks for the video and all the tips on tinder bundle construction & Tinder Hot Box, much appreciated👍
Hi Mike, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. It is always appreciated mate :) I'm glad you found the video useful. I just hope I don't have to wait until next summer again now before I can use it again lol. Have a nice evening, all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark. Nice bit of kit. I suppose this would be a life saver if you were stuck on an island for 10 years. You can never run out of sunlight... mind that the mirror might get scratched over time with this design. A small improvement, I think it would have been much better if it had a secondary lid on the back for storing the tinder separately. This way the mirror would be protected better. Anyway nice video as always Mark and take care.
PS: Tip for those survivalists out there, consider storing a tiny polishing paste tube inside the tinder box (5ml or similar) “just in case”.
Hi Edy, I hope you are well brother and had a nice weekend :) Yeah it would be more suited to a desert island, but they recon it works in low light and even at night with a headlamp. It is a certain bulb that is needed, but unfortunately I don't have one lol. I will have to make do with the once a year appearance of the sun. Good tip on adding the polishing compound. I used Autosol and it worked a treat. Yeah your right about the secondary lid to keep the tinder in. It wouldn't have to be very deep for a bit of charred cloth or amadou and would make a big difference. Thanks as always for watching mate, have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark, that is a handy tool you have there for sure. Not often you see items like that of such good quality! It's great to take advantage of these sweet fall days I'm looking forward to a overnight soon. Talk to you later and thanks for sharing🍻 Wade
Hi Wade, your right there brother, we do have to make the most of the nice autumn/fall days. We don't get many here, it is usually overcast or raining lol. I will look forward to watching your overnighter if you film it. I've just bought a new hammock and keep meaning to get out and use it . Work starts to quite down soon, so I wouldn't mind a few nights away myself :) Piece and quite!!! Have a great Sunday Wade :) Talking of work, that's where I'm off too now!! Speak soon, all the best, Mark.
@@markbailey2981 Have a great day brother! I hope you enjoy the hammock, I've been hanging for quite a few years now and I love it! I do tarp camp but I love my hammocks. Take care! Wade
Amazing!! That took so quick. Great video Mark. Cheers Sel
Hi Sel, I hope you are keeping well mate :) No doubt it will be dull now for the next 5 years lol. Thanks for watching, have a great weekend mate, all the best, Mark :)
That's a cracking bit of kit Mark. Great video as always pal. Thanks for taking time to do them atvb dave
Hi Dave, I hope you are well mate and had a nice weekend :) Yeah its a nifty piece of kit. It certainly get things hot once you get the correct angle. A bit more playing around and I should have it :) Probably have to wait till next summer though before the sun comes out again!! Thanks for watching and have a nice evening mate, all the best, Mark :)
Had great Sunday been making paracord watch straps hope you Had a good Sunday yourself
Its always nice chilling out doing a few things you enjoy :) Me, no, I've been at work since 6 this morning, not long been in. So no chilling and doing things I enjoy lol. Got a few days off now, so I will get out and spend some time in the woods. Take care Shaun, all the best, Mark :)
(( sorry I was unsubscribed for a bit , accidental )), No matter how many times make light fires, or indeed watch someone else , which is better , I still see the magic, especially the more traditional techniques. Great little kit , cheers Mark.
Hi X-RAY ZULU, many thanks for watching brother..... it is good to have you back :) Yeah I enjoy watching other people make and start fires too. I suppose there is less pressure to get it lit lol. The hot box is a neat little tool. Hopefully it will last for years to come. But more importantly, we have a bit of sun :) Thanks again and have a great day, all the best, Mark :)
That's amazing how fast the chaga ignited!! I'm definitely checking this out.
Hi Rich, I hope you are keeping well..... yeah they are a neat little idea. I just hope I don't have to wait till next Spring for the sun again lol. Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Hey my friend!! Awesome video! Looks like a great piece of kit! Thanks so much for sharing and stay blessed!
Hey brother, I hope you are well :) Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, it is very much appreciated :) Have a blessed weekend, all the best, Mark :)
I am a big fan of solar ignition and own a Sundance parabolic solar mirror and have used it to good effect with char cloth. I think the Tinder Hot Box is a very well made product and works well but is very expensive when compared to other parabolic systems.
I can't remember how much I paid for my Sundance but I bought it a few years ago and from what I can remember it wasn't that expensive. The Sundance is definitely a lot bigger and hasn't got the waterproof compartment which I love about the hot box.
I have actually regulated my Sundance to a kit (my BOB) and just carry either Fresnel lenses or magnifying glasses these days, they are far more portable and less finicky.
I love that neat little pouch Mark, beautiful, I am always on the lookout for little pouches like that.
Good morning Orion, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. The pouches are a neat design and very well made. I think they were originally designed to carry axe pucks in, but I use them for the reflector and I have a couple more for tea bags/sugar and other small items of kit. They are made by Frost River, I will leave you a link to their website and you should be able to find a local stockist. I agree, the hot box was pricey. I think I paid about £40 at the time, but it was a one time investment. It's a shame we don't get the same hours of sunlight as yourself so I can use it more frequently. Have a great day, all the best, Mark :) www.frostriver.com/shop/adventure-everyday/built-to-last/buckskin-drawstring-pouch/
Another amazing share. Thanks so much for the info. Always interested in any equipment you find useful. Thanks a bunch!
Hi Will, thank you for watching and for the kind words it is very much appreciated my friend :) Have a great Sunday, all the best, Mark :)
That is very cool. I will be getting one. Thanks for showing this, I would have never found their website.
Hi Barry, I hope you are keeping well. Yeah, its a neat piece of kit. I could just do with a bit more sun :) No problem, I'm glad the links worked. Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Great review, nice job! 👍😎 ~Maverick
Hi Maverick, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) Have a great weekend brother, all the best, Mark :)
Very interesting Mark, must get one. Take care.
Hi Kinarris, I'm glad you found the video interesting :) I just hope I don't have to wait until next spring before I have to wait for the next sunny day lol. Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark.
Hi Mark hope your keeping well another great video
Hi Shaun, I hope you are keeping well, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment :) It is always appreciated...…. have a great Sunday, all the best, Mark :)
Handy little tool. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Trey, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) Yeah hopefully we will have a bit of sun and I can get some use out of it. Maybe I should of bought it at the beginning of the summer and not winter LOL. Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Great video mark that's a very handy thing to have in your kit
Hi Shane, many thanks for watching mate :) Yeah I have been using quite a bit whilst the sun has been out. Its a nice compact size to carry. I just have to make sure I have another ignition source, especially this time of the year. But it is always here for those brighter days :) Have a great day Shane, all the best, Mark :)
Great video there Mark. I've never come across one of these yet, but it sure seems like a good multi purpose tool that can come in handy on sunny days. I really appreciate you sharing this with us brother. May God richly bless you.
Hi Eric, many thanks for watching the video and for the kind words, they are greatly appreciated brother :) Yes, a perfect tool for the sunny days. I'm sure it would suit your neck of the woods more than here. You always seem to have sun lol. I have tried it in low light, and managed to get it work, and the company says it can be used at night with a certain headlamp that will ignite the tinder. Thanks again Eric, have a blessed day, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 Well, though it may be true that we have more sunny days here than you do there. We do get some strong downpours here, but the sky usually clears up quickly. My sister and brother in law both lived in England as well as Ireland and My brother in law's parents lived in whales for many years. They were all there to spread the Word. Anyway, that being said, They were somewhat in your neck of the woods, so I understand what you're saying regarding sunny days.
It's always my pleasure to watch your channel since, you are clearly knowledgeable when it comes to outdoor survival... You also have a great personality my friend. May God bless you and yours.
That little kit is amazing buddy I really like that and also a great video as always pal thanks for sharing A.t.b Andrew
Hi Andrew, I hope you are keeping well mate and getting out shooting. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. It is always appreciated :) Have a great Sunday mate, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 anytime mark love this channel it's one of my favourites have a great weekend 👍🏼👍🏼
That looks like a great little tool.
Hi Earthbound Alchemy, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) Yeah its a neat little tool to carry.... I just hope the sun makes an appearance before next spring, so I can use it again lol. Have a great day, all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark... Hope you're well mate. Clever little gadget but a bit pricey for me to carry round and rarely use. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and be lucky, Wol.
Hi Wol, I hope you are keeping well :) All good here thanks mate. Yeah I know what you mean about the cost to use ratio. It won't be sunny again now until next spring and by then I would of forgot I had it, so that fire just cost me £30 LOL. Have a great weekend mate, all the best, Mark :)
Hey Mark 🙂 awesome piece of gear. That thing looks extremely well made. Always looking for new ways to start fire. Thanks for the review friend🙂👍🏻👍🏻🎉🎉
Hi Joe, I hope you are keeping well my friend :) Yeah, its always nice to have new ways of starting fire. I'm sure you will do better with the sun that over here. That's it for us until next May lol. You should also do better on the price, we tend to get stung here with some kind of import tax on top of the normal tax, on top of value added tax...… you get the picture lol. Thanks for watching brother, have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Great video, Mark. I'm impressed as to how quick you got an ember! Of course, if I bought on I'd never see the sun again, lol! Stay safe my friend.
Hi Brian, I hope you are keeping well brother :) Yeah it is hot once you fine the correct angle. They recon you can even use it at night with a head lamp and shine it into the reflector and it will ignite the tinder. Anyway if you are experiencing drought conditions next summer and you want rain, let me know and I will send it over for a couple of weeks. That way it won't stop raining until you send it back lol. Thanks Brian, have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Thumb up bro great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching brother and taking the time to comment :) Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Like that reflector mark
Cheers Shane. No doubt it won't be sunny till next Spring again lol. Have a great weekend mate, all the best, Mark :)
Excellent video Mark. We have lots of ferns in the ADK. I have a device like you have (but not as good) I will have to try it for the first time soon. Thanks
Hi Quinn, I hope you are well brother :) Yeah you should give I a try. Make the most of the sunny days. You know it will go cloudy when you get it out though lol. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, it is always appreciated. Have great Sunday, all the best, Mark :)
Worked well 🖒. Good film Mark ☺
Hi Rick, I hope you are well mate. Not seen you for a while, I was starting to worry. Thanks for watching mate, have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :) p.s Hope Billy is well :)
@@markbailey2981 Aye all good Mark thanks mate. I've been out plenty and been doing a fair bit of climbing . I've gotta be in the mood to film lol. I've made a couple but deleted the footage cause I wasnt feeling it 😁. I'm on a 4 day river canoe trip up Scotland next week so might do a bit of filming there 🖒☺. Cheers Mark, all the best fella.
That good mate, as long as you are OK. Have a good time up there mate, I will look forward to the video if you do one...…. no pressure here mate. Have a great time, all the best, Mark :)

Looks cool, I've always just used my ferro rod, but now I'm filming its fun to try these more unusual methods. Great video, all the best.
Skye
Hi Skye, I hope you are well mate. Just finished watching your latest video, vey good mate. I tend to use the same few set ups every time, so its always nice to see a few other ways :) Yeah, I like to play around with different fire starting methods, but I will get the ferro rod out as soon now the weather has started to turn. I doubt it will be sunny now till next Spring anyway lol. Have a great weekend mate, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 thanks, all the best dude 🍻
This seems to be a useful little item! ATB André
Hi Andre, I hope you are well :) Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, it is always appreciated :) Have a great day, all the best, Mark :)
una lupa,plastico trasparente y agua
Is that the chaga you had sent down or did you process that matey 👍
Hi Trev, yes that is a part of the chaga I was sent. I also use amadou as well for solar fires, but chaga is my first choice. Unfortunately we have very little growing locally, so I was sent a couple of boxes full from Scotland. I had best try and track some more down...... it is starting to run low. Have a great weekend mate, all the best, Mark :)
Yes it had already been processed by the guy prior to sending it down, which was nice. It saved me the job of cutting and drying it out :)
