I’m a guitarist and a prepper but I never thought of buying a few extra picks to start a fire. Small, light weight, and cheap. I’m going to be adding these to my fire kits and bug out bags. Thank you!
Even if you duct tape the picks to your go bag, you know they're still going to vanish in seconds.
That's great that you play guitar, but please don't use your vintage Martin Dreadnought as kindling!..
Hehehe...
Stevie Ray Von could set fire to a guitar pick playing Little Wing.
Vaughan.hell yeah🤟
Remember when picks used to be 10 or more for a 1$.cool hack,but I'll use toothpicks.😊
The duck tape is also useful for scraping magnesium onto it when it is breezy/windy. It keeps the magnesium shavings in one place for firestsrter
Good idea!
That is a great idea, stealing it for my kit.
Plus the stickum on duct tape is quite flammable also.
As a survival instructor for 30 years. I find your instruction so valuable!! Thank you!
Thank you for watching and for all the kind words, I really do appreciate it!
@@WayPointSurvival guitar strings are more than a little useful in a bug-out bag. Far stronger than cord for lashing, conductive, and the string itself fits through the bridge stop "barell".
By kinking the line slightly, it will hold a "noose" of your size specifications, yet slip tight easily.
As your food tries to bail, they draw the noose tighter, and kink it to hold there. Food over the fire!
I keep 2 packs of Ernie Ball "super Slinky" in my bag.

~That's great, but as a very experienced survival instructor you may not know that it is a bad idea to use a 'guitar pick' as a fire starter because a person has their face & head down very close to it when first starting a fire and breathing in the very toxic plastic fumes 'is' harmful. But as you know wood smoke outside is 'not' harmful.
@@royjohnson465 OMG. Seriously bud? Wow Mr Feae everything and it's survival NOT BOYS scout camp. Puzzxyyyy
When I was 12 years old my father took me on a fishing trip and our car broke down in the middle of nowhere at the lake we were fishing absolutely nobody around and it was raining he built a signal fire in the rain using fat lighter he gathered up himself we ended up spending the night there until a neighbor came looking for us. Lucky my dad was always prepared we had plenty of army c ration and other canned food in the trunk so he made it into a camp out lol. His Army Airborne training along with being a Boy scout troop leader meant we were prepared that makes a big difference everyone should always carry food and fire starting supplies in their cars.
Yes, being prepared is always a good idea and it's great that you had such a wonderful father to teach you.
i am confused, sorry, What did he use? " using fat lighter he gathered up himself " what? what is " fat lighter"
@@johnandevefoster3816
Fat lighter is old pine tree stumps that are full of hardened pine sap same as heart of pine it light even wet
Something to carry water in is also a good recomendation. Got a 2 qt canteen in m' truck...?
@@johnandevefoster3816 I'm thinking he means "a fatwood fire starter" made from evergreen knots, or sap permiated wood. They light right up, and burn like crazy for a long time!
I've used them and they Will start a fire, even in the rain.
25 years ago...when I was in the forces... I hand dunked 1 by 1 an entire batch of about 60 matches .. candle wax.. dunked in wax, covered and boxed them.. the left them in their box in a cook pot mess tin.. my wife found them in the garage about 2 year ago and she brought them in the house with no idea where thy were from and she put them in the kitchen cupboard.. she STILL uses them to light birthday candles etc. They still look like the day I dunked them
Excellent. Good thing to know. Thank you for watching.
I’ve been having my wife save the lint from the dryer screen and putting it in a paper based egg carton then lightly covering the lint with melted wax. Break off a “cube” when you’re ready to start the fire. Lights quick and burns very well.
Yes, indeed.
Yep, I have wax-soaked cotton balls and waxed matches Along with a sandpaper type striker in an old Altoids can. Too old to be going camping or deep woods hunting anymore but I still have old outdoor gear on hand.
Thanks for the idea! Was about to throw out the lint today but didn’t so I’ll save it :)
I learned this trick years ago. When my candles burn low , I keep the rest of the was and melt it all together and pour a bit in the egg cartons. Tear the egg carton apart and stick them in a tin . When I need to start a fire in the fire place I put one of my candle egg carton chunks on my kindling and wood , light it up and late nature take its course.. no fighting starting fire.
I do the same thing when replenishing my supplies and usually am replenishing others' supplies too-great tinder to have around!!🤙🏻👌🏻👍🏻🧚🏼♀️😉😊
Great tip. I took some of my wife’s cotton makeup removing pads, melted some candle wax in a small egg pan and drop the pads into the wax. Let them dry an presto great fire starter. I keep them in an old Copenhagen can. Yep I give out weird Christmas gifts to the kids.
Sounds great! Thank you for watching.
Cotton balls dipped in candle wax works great.
I soak mine in 180 proof grain alcohol...works great
@@chrishensley33 candle wax on the firewood during wet times
If your wife uses Scentsy wax , soak cotton ball , few wood chips wrap in paper …….works for 10 minutes
Been playing in the woods for 40 years . . . . but that guitar pick trick is a new one for me. Thanks!
As a huge Rock Music fan, it pains me to see a guitar pick intentionally set on fire but I have to say, I didn’t know they’re made out of celluloid which by the way I did know is extremely flammable. So it totally makes sense to carry a guitar pick around with you as just another quick an easy means to create fire in a pinch when you really need it. I’m definitely going to remember that trick and thank you so much for sharing. Take care! Cheers!
Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it!
How about Jimi Hendrix setting his entire guitar on fire? Maybe it was a survival situation
And use the stings for traps and the case to make shelter, it is all in there
I dont feel like reading all the comments.
IF I AM MAKING THE POINT OF CARRYING A LIGHTER AT ALL TIMES I !!!!!!!DO NOT NEED SEPERATE ITEMS AS A FIRE STARTER!!!!!!!
And for anyome who doesnt know guitar picks are made of many dif materials (including many dif petrolium based polymers).
One of the first "you've never seen this before" vids that I've never seen before. Certainly the best use of 5 minutes I'll spend today!
Great, so glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful!
This
👍👍
So when you get searched by the Cops and they demand to know why you are conceled carrying a lighter and length of Fuse Cord how do you respond and who is going to believe you ?
The guitar pick trick is something I never knew. It's like birch bark! Also, when we were Scouting kids we discovered that one of our dads had a magnesium deck push lawn mower. Well, one of us scraped magnesium off the lower edges of the deck for fire starting. Dad wondered for a long time why his mower got lighter and lighter, easier to push!
Lol. Good story, thanks for watching!
I have been using a guitar pick as a campfire fire starter for years. I've shown this hack to countless people. So glad to see somebody's finally getting it out there to everybody else. It's amazing how hot and quickly those things burn, but man will they get a fire going yesterday. Just be sure to buy the thickest pick you can possibly buy in the Celluloid family. A Fender heavy-gauge pick that looks like a tortoiseshell pick will work every single time.
Yes. Good points and thank you for watching.
Now I"m even more convinced that if I was going to be stranded on a deserted island with one other person, it should be David Gilmour.
Thank you for watching.
Fabulous video. Being a guitar maker and picker I knew celluloid was highly flammable and have actually burnt it but it never entered my mind to use it as a fire starter. Really enjoy your channel!
Thank you so much!
Martin1 I'm a guitar picker I didn't know this shit
Very good ideas. Another on you might want to consider, and which I learned at Boy Scouts (about 55 years ago!)! We used to take a normal white wax candle, and shave away two opposite sides in the length. This results in a flat candle that is not nearly so thick and round. One can tailor the shape to fit wherever you have space to fit it in. It needs to be kept in a place where it is unlikely to bend, eg in some sort of tin, or taped between two flat objects (we cut a normal school ruler in the middle, making two flat pieces. Then we put the flat candle between them and taped it together). Perfect. I really light that idea of the guitar pick! They can fit in anywhere, and you could pack in dozens without even knowing they are there! This adds a whole new dimension to fire-starting. The candle may just be a bit cheaper, however.
Thank you for watching and for the ideas!
Love watching these and reading all the comments. We are never too old learn.
I was in the girls brigade as a teenager, I amazed my sons on a camping trip with a few things they never thought their mother knew, along with my knot tying skills.
They had no idea, not all things are learned in a classroom 👍
You are Truly a man of God. I am so filled with joy to see your face again!!! You're videos are amazing and I thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and love and kindness.
Love the things mums can do💪💪. Happy new year
@@ritakisil1669 Happy New Year to you as well, greetings from 🇦🇺
@@blacksorrento4719 from Borneo (Sabah, East Malaysia)
That’s the reason I don’t use celluloid picks when I’m playing. The ferocity and pace of my playing often causes spontaneous combustion.
Lol! Thank you for watching!
🎸🔥
LOL of the day - good one Yngwie!
Same with playing ping pong too hard.
Same
That last bit with the ferro rod definitely deserves a likes up. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Heart goes out to this guy, as in A for effort and creativity, TYVM.
Thank you so much!
That was the slickest thing ever. The only thing I could add when using a Ferro Rod, is do everything you did but on top of a piece of that Duct Tape. The sticky tape will stop the shavings
and the pick from blowing away in the wind, and the tape burns like crazy. Same hack should always be used with magnesium shavings.
Good idea. Thank you for watching.
@@WayPointSurvival P.S. Just bought 100 guitar picks.
What a great idea!
Careful with magnesium; I believe it emits UV. I used to play with it (and admittedly, look at other very bright things). I now have issues seeing dim blue centrally, at night.
@@trollme.trollmehard.9524 Also, if you use a magnifying glass to start a fire, remember not to stare into the sun.
Whoa! A video that actually WASN'T click bait!? That's super refreshing to see on UA-cam! Super cool trick, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Get a life
Carrying around a lighter is the best fire trick I've ever seen
Right? Thank you so much for watching!
I know, right? Ain't a trick until there ain't no lighter ;)
@@CarposPhilosophy 👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼
Well he did use spark as well. Cool trick sir!
When the gas run's out then what ?
Love this. I practice something new every time I camp...this will be January's trick! Thank you.
Just make sure that the guitar pick is made from celluloid. Many of them aren't anymore.
I am going to make a lot of these to give to my friends and family for the holidays. Thanks for sharing this neat survival trick!
I am a terrilble guitarist, so now I can do something usefull with my picks.
Lol! Thank you for watching!
I'm so bad at playing i should burn the whole damn guitar.....lol
The guitar players association could nail him!
send them to me I never seem to have enough
@@kellywalker8407 send me the guitar I'll send you some firewood . Lol
Been in the survival realm since 1971. Back when it wasn't so popular. Like it is today. I can tell you i didn't know about the guitar pick.
Great, glad I could help add a little bit to your knowledge base then. And thank you so much for watching!
Same here. I thought I knew just about all the tricks, but this is a new one to me.
Back in the day, we just called it camping. 🙂
But it seems to have grown into an entirely different animal. Although the principles of survival haven’t really changed, the equipment and attitudes have really blossomed.
It’s been on youtube for years!
@@arctodussimus6198 The only place I had really heard the term Bushcraft was in the Boy Scouts, but there really isn't a lot of time to do "bush crafting" in the Boy Scouts.
I recently bought a popular "Bushcrafting" book and was a little disappointed, although it is helpful to have all that information in one book.
But I am enjoying everyone's videos, the best being videos like this one that get to the meat of what they are sharing without too much rambling.
I always carry some wire wool to clean my pots and pans and a typical 9v square battery….one touch and you have instant flame and can keep your kit clean too!
Brilliant 5 thumbs up. I have loads of these picks and never thought they could be this handy.
Just as long as they're made from celluloid and not nylon or some other plastic.
Wow! Loved seeing a glimpse of the extremely rare Long-Tailed Polar Bear in the background!
Thank you for watching.
That’s what I said too “hey look a long tailed polar bear going into the woods looking for Bigfoot”
I discovered this about 40 years ago playing with a lighter as a kid. I eventually stopped asking people if they had ever seen how a pick burns after getting nothing but odd looks.
That's a pretty funny story! Thank you for sharing it and for watching the video!
I used to ask my friends if they had ever seen a guitar pick burn and then light one... a fire in a guitar pick factory would be SCARY!!
The best of. Always simple, cheap, easy to find stuff to work with.
Wow, this is great! It's amazing how much you can carry.
When I was a boy scout, I used to carry a small bag with wood chips that I had soaked in gasoline and used oil to start fires. When the other scouts complained that I was cheating, I would explain, " you knew you were going camping, that you were going to need a fire, What is the boy scouts motto?"
It's always good to " be prepared ". Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
@@WayPointSurvival the best fire starter is self lighting charcoal. It only take 2 and it rocks.
I get what you’re saying, but shouldn’t you also be prepared for a situation where you don’t have those things to help you out?
@@lkayh if your not always prepared , your never prepared , be safe be happy beware ,
I would have thought the gasoline would evaporate.
About 50 years ago, I was working with some people on a roofing project. Afterwards, we washed our hands with gasoline, over some paper so it wouldn't soak into the ground. The next day, we wanted to make a fire, so we tried to use the gas-soaked paper from the day before. It was very difficult to light. We figured the gasoline had evaporated and left behind the additives.
BTW, potato chips light up pretty good, so no need to go through the trouble of soaking wood chips in flammable liquid.
My guitar picks are my fingers. I’ve burned them a few times but never started a fire!! Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for watching!
He didn't get the joke rofl
Wouldnt work for Brian May.
Awesome, thanks for tip, what a game changer for starting a fire.
Yup, going in the kit. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Just when a fire is needed the most, it's usually raining and wet. Having some kind of firestarter like this is crucial to survival when things are going wrong. Another way is to carry a few walnuts. It only takes a small piece, and it burns for many minutes. My biology teacher showed this when I was in about the 8th grade. Cheers!
I like that.
Definitely a better use of walnuts than eating them.
Indeed. Thank you for watching.
Brazil nuts do the same,eg will burn when set alight.
@C.......14 but that's liquid, he didn't have anything that would spill.
Great. During my last camping outings, I tried a flint striker with dry leaves and twigs. Worked well.
Thank you for watching!
Awesome!! Thank you for sharing the knowledge my friend!!🤘😎
That’s amazing!! I’m getting some guitar picks for our first aid and survival kits! Thank you! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I've been a prepper girl for thirty years and I never knew. I guess it's true, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Lol.

Hi Laura, That old saying, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." is as false as it is old. It was designed to marginalize the wise to promote the ego and undeserved reputation of those who are not. "A dog that is too old to learn new tricks, has ALWAYS been too old to learn new tricks." Anybody who has been leveraging their own experiences and those of others for 30+ years hopelessly outclasses new and the casual every time.

Great stuff James. I’ll definitely be adding a couple to my kit. Never had any idea they were so flammable. Thanks and have a great week my friend!
Thank you my friend! You too!
Great video. 👍 When we used to go out camping we would coat our matches (the kind you could strike on any hard surface )in molten candle wax to waterproof them. Very handy tip.
Thank you for watching.
Hard to find large green tip strike anywhere with a tip of white phos. on the tip.

Good video man. Definently gathering up some picks for my diddy bag.
I keep the cellulose wrappers from any cigarette pack. They burn long and hot also. I keep many in a pint olive jar with book, and strike anywhere matches.Now Ill be adding dryer lint, the steel wool, and recently got the electronic flame lighter It actually works under water.
What an incredible idea for fire starting..I would never have imagined picks or the waxed line would burn and burn hot. Thanks for this tip my friend I will never forget it.👍
Thank you for watching and for your kind words!
So awesome! Definitely did not know this, just put a few into my fire kit!

Great video. I completely forgot about the pick as a fire starter, and the way you put a little kit together is PERFECT. I'm going to copy this idea. I remember back in the 70's I was playing with a ping pong ball and held a match to it and it went up like gasoline, must be the same stuff as the picks, but a lot thinner. Keep up the great work.
Yes, ping pong balls are often also made of celluloid. Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed the video!
You could slice the ping pong ball and stuff it with guitar picks?
That would be an idea!
Wow. I'm gonna try it..
So clever! Thanks for sharing.

Right? Thank you for watching!
i know eh , chapstick is flammable too or so i heard
Same stuff pingpong-balls are made of.
@@grimfpv292 cool, was just wondering what else is made of it
Not sure what else is made of celluloid. Not all ping pong balls are anymore or all guitar picks. It's so very flammable that it was pretty well phased out in the 1940s and into the 1950s.
Great tip! I never would have thought to use one of those.
Assymetrical Preparedness and Homestead Aus shared your video to me.
Great, thank you so much for watching and make sure and tell them thank you for me!
I never would have thought of that. GREAR IDEA!!!

It's also true that he has pretty big feet! Lol!
At first I did too. Lol.
I thought he had more to worry about; a wolf
Bro I have been showing people this truck since I was a kid. I have always played guitar and also been kinda obsessed with fire. Lol. I remember the first time I ever saw one burn. I almost burned myself pretty bad!! This was awesome to see somebody else doing it!!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
My husband works at a penitentiary and the inmates used to grind up pingpong balls to make small bombs out of them.
If you put a flame to one it will immediately flame up.
Only if they are made from celluloid / nitrocellulose. Many ping pong balls aren't anymore, unfortunately. Thank you so much for watching!
@@WayPointSurvival yes very true. The pen changed to the other kind of balls

Hey, that was amazing! Never knew that a guitar pick could be so flammable.
Celluloid plastic is very flammable. It is the same material as old movies which are a fire hazard.
I'm a guitar player and I can vouch this.
It's no wonder some of these famous Rock stars haven't got torched on stage!
Picks similar to plectrums?
Yes, they are.
As a self described "Girl Scout" bc I am always prepared for most things...I loved this! I will be carrying a pic around all the time now! Thx!!

That’s friggin crazy!! Another great video my friend. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Useful tip for the Great Outdoors, thanks
You're welcome, and thanks for watching!
you can start the waxed hemp with a fero rod if the lighter doesn't, and possibly even the lighter if you can get sparks (no fluid). Fluff the hemp/jute twine and remove a little wax from the end, then hit it with sparks from fero rod or lighter. It will work. Great idea about using a guitar pick. It weighs virtually nothing and doesn't take much room. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Thank you for watching!
Interesting and quite effective means of starting an emergency fire.
Thanks, I'll have to copy you here. 👍
Well I have, "dun larned me sump en, yew heah" ! First thing I never knew a guitar pick was so flammable and I was impressed at how easily you were able to ignite it with the Ferro rod. And I am guessing that will kill all the "kum-ba-yah" around the campfire! Enjoyed it and will be looking forward to more of your videos.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!
It's plastic, gilchrist 👻
It's celluloid, not plastic from petroleum products as you're thinking about. Do a little research.
@@WayPointSurvival I wasn't thinking petro products, but thank you correcting 😷🌈
Time to practice those finger picking skills!
That’s a clever trick. Nicely done!
Thanks!
I have a bunch of guitar picks from an ill fated adventure. Great idea! I'll put one in my tinder box too! Thanks James!
Excellent. Just make sure that they are made from Celluloid and not a plastic or nylon.
That was good to know knowledge especially in these times where we just don't know! I think being prepared is a good thing , I'm starting to learn these survival skills !
