That is a lot of stuff. A pyromaniac's wet dream. So there was no chemical smell to any of the products? By color and what I could tell of the texture, and this is a w-a-g, it might maybe could be a combination of beeswax and petroleum jelly. But, as I said, I'm guessing. Whatever it is you demonstrated that it wasn't just something thrown together as a gimmick to entice the outdoor novice into a purchase.
I spoke with the owner and the wood is fatwood but it appears processed and formed it sticks. The yellow stuff is resin and gives the yellow appearance.
Thanks for reviewing in the pouring rain! It actually does show this stuff will light wet wood and get a fire going quickly! It seems there's different things for different circumstances. Camp Stoves, camp fires, charcoal grills, etc. Great stuff!
Great video !!! It's great to see someone trying these things out, especially in adverse weather and/or conditions. Thank you, very much !!! Keep up the great work !!!
You know what they say about playing with fire.....you'll wet the bed hahaha. I reviewed B&W a while back and everything worked great, it looks like things have changed some since then. My favorite was that fire fuzz, easy to light and burns with intensity. Thanks for sharing 👍
Another simple yet effective method is using cotton make-up removal pads, and some hand sanitizer gel (or even Vaseline petroleum jelly). When needed work a blob of gel into a pad and apply a fire source (lighter, ferro-rod spark, flint/steel spark, etc) they ignite immediately and burn for several minutes. placed under a pile of kindling will have a fire going in no time. Another addition is the humble candle. Once lit, it will provide a good strong flame that will not easily go out, and provide enough heat to light most kindling easily. [British Army Arctic Survival Candles are the ultimate examples of this. Available from Army Surplus outlets when available.] (At Boy Scouts, we were taught to trim down our candles a little to make them more square or rectangular in cross-section, as they take up much less room and it does not affect burn time too much. ) By the way Amazon offer a Bic 3-pack for $2,37! [One in your pocket, one in your backpack (in a Zip-loc bag) and one in your waterproof firekit!] Sorted!
Wow! What an amazing kit! If someone can’t get a fire going with all that’s included in that kit then they probably should stay out of the woods! No excuses! 😂
In my subjective opinion the wax that he used is either yellow paraffin wax (my preferred wax because it is very stable, can last decades, and is resistant to melting during hot days) or Beeswax (second best because it can last nearly as long as Paraffin). The long sticks of waxed jute, in my opinion were not properly used. If you had exposed the fibers and used the fire steel (preferably holding it along with the striker and between the ferro rod and striker so that all the sparks are concentrated on the fibers), It is possible to ignite the waxed jute in one go. In my opinion Waxed jute twine is a match that works best with fire-steel.
You should make another vid on finding fat wood in the wild. Carrying any more than a couple of small sticks in a kit is just impractical. Being able to find it in the wild when you need it is huge.
Really enjoyed this one because fire is a essential skillset. Have you seen any of Tony Suits stuff? He has a great fire starter in a tin plus another product for field use is his Bush Butter for knife and tool maintenance. He’s a stand up guy and answers his phone when you call him. His channel is Backwoods Biker.
Check out BOSS kits if they don't ship. The problem with fire items are the shipping laws that differ from company to company. It makes you wonder how any of this stuff gets anywhere. You as a person may not be able to ship matches and lighters, but obviously matches and lighters got shipped to your local store.
Versions of other companies gear like Live Fire and Procamptek. They don't even have their own website, just an etsy piggy back. I don't see the bag kit on their etsy, but looks like a BOSS kit style. Let's see if they have other BOSS style kits or just another fire company.

@@ThePreparedWanderer It really works, that's for sure.

Paul makes top notch gear. I have done many reviews of his gear and use it often when out and about.
Great video !!!

Thank you, very much !!!
Keep up the great work !!!
Looks like a great kit. Thanks for the review.
That's right "SECONDS COUNTS" That's for another great video!!!
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, I like the fire kit. A great variety of options. Thanks for sharing this informative video. Stay safe out there. 🤗

I did awhile ago. It’s in my past videos
Alot of stuff in there! I did a review of his firestarters probably 2 years ago.
Great demo on Black and White Fire starters. That’s a great kit to have.
I’d swap the matches out for some lifeboat matches.
I really enjoy your videos. I also wanted to let you know I'm no longer friends with that crazy troll on FB.

I would message the seller

New subscriber, but, I have been watching your channel for three years.Sorry about that. Cheers from the South Carolina Lowcountry!
Gear looking good! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Cool Fire Steel, where can I get it?

Small one man operation. Etsy is an affordable option for small businesses and a very trusted site. Black & White is a reputable company
Another fine Video, Wendell. How're you liking the haversack, BTW?
I think its great. I added a foam pad to stiffen it up. thanks again
@@ThePreparedWanderer no worries Brother. Hoping to see you soon.
Looked on the site, but couldn't find the kit. How much does it cost?
I think it’s the biggest kit on the Etsy site
a great kit, but will stick to my dryer lint, and it's free
looking skinny bud
Trying man
