    So I went duck hunting this morning, had to get up early so I uploaded this while I slept and published it at around 4am PST. After I hunting, I noticed all the comments that referenced "behind the scenes footage"...I was thinking "what behind the scenes footage?" when I finally had a minute to play the video and realized the wrong footage saved from the edit and was uploaded. Here is the REAL video that was meant to be released this morning. I promise I am a better woodsman than a UA-camr. Thanks again for all your views, likes, comments, and especially shares and for everything you do to support us here at the GBGB channel!

      Christopher Kavanaugh we did not. It was a great day of hunting but we only have three ducks to show for it. The wife is waiting for the hunting knife I am testing to get back from Alaska and she will do a duck processing video for the channel. I am headed out for a 10-day hunt in the morning so she has the wheel.

    Left my lighter outside by accident and we had a whole storm last night. Didn't realize it was out there until I looked out the window this afternoon lol. Common sense told me to dry the lighter and shake it like what you did in the video, but what I didn't do was remove that guard. I did that, dried it, and I got a spark, but no flame. So I thought that maybe some water mixed in with the fuel. After a few clicks, it came back on like nothing ever happened. This video was helpful. Thanks man

  • @CorsairTrainers
    @CorsairTrainers 5 років тому +11

    Good info! As an experienced BIC lighter user (smoker), I would add pulling the silver guard off. Blow the water away or use your shirt to get the water off. Put the guard back on then roll it.

    Did a comparison once between a rotary and a piëzo lighter. Fully submerged and shaken to get the air bubbles out. After the shaking and blowing technique the piëzo allready worked, so I preferred that. Both actually because Bic’s are usually of way higher quality. But I didn’t use cotton on the rotary, just jeans. Will have to retry after seeing this. Great video!

    At 1:22 pry the band (it's for child safety) from the split joining metal where the flame comes from. You split those two apart and the band just falls right out. From that direction you can use just about anything to get the band off.

    Great knowledge, I always take off the metal safety piece from bics lighters too. When I do it I take a small flathead screwdriver from a swiss army knife and bend the two little metal tabs that are holding the safety in place upward, and then pull it out. Then I bend the two tabs back down flat. Makes it much easier for me to pull the safety out

    Well, it seems that I need all the information on lighters I can get. This weekend I had a premiere in sleeping out in the winter. I usually use flint and steel or ferrocerium rod to start my fire, but I put a lighter into cargo pocket on my throusers for emergency. On the trip I wanted to seal unraveling shoe lace with a flame, took out the lighter as the most convenient source of flame, didnt work. Great, I thought, I take a ligher for emergency situations and it fails on me. Upon ariving home I noticed it worked again! Oh, silly me, it was just too cold (-5° C) for gas lighter. Still a lot to learn, thank you for your help.

    • @GrayBeardedGreenBeret
      @GrayBeardedGreenBeret  5 років тому +1

      Very susceptible to cold weather. They have to be on an inside pocket next to the body. I learned that lesson in the cold Adirondack winters. That is why I always carry stormproof matches as well. I have had cold and windy conditions that a lighter doesn't work as well as the matches in.

    Personally, I have never had a problem. Oops. I dropped my bic in a puddle. Pick it up, give it a couple good shakes, and flick it. Fires right up, no prob.
    That having been said, in extreme cold, maybe there's a chance of it freezing up. Your tips would virtually prevent that from becoming an issue.

    @the grey bearded green beret amen brother! Another video idea for you although it sounds simple to most of us would be a thinking outside the box to overcome the other obstacles of using a lighter. Fuel conservation, fighting wind, and keeping and or getting a lighter warm so it performs at peak performance when needed. Don't sweat the smell stuff. I promise you are a better UA-camr than I am. I don't do video because I know my limitations. I learn things from your videos so you must be a good outdoorsman too. Thanks for the great content!
