Great video. Instead of Vaseline coated cotton balls, try wax impregnated cotton make-up disc's, they aren't quite as messy. Cheers 🇨🇦
While yes there is so many options for things we can make and buy for our fire kits..... about a year ago i went on a expedition to make the absolute best fire starter one could make... and i tried everything out there..... while most things i tried all worked well..... it was the really long burn times is what i was going after.....everything seemed to burn out so fast.... so i thought id try something a little out of the norm..... and landed on melting wax and petroleum jelly together in an old pan then i would dunk round make up pads into the wax mix then let dry on foil and what i found was the ultimate fire starter as it's completely water proof extremely flammable with very good burn times and only needs a spark to get lit!!!! Once they dry you end up with alot of really awesome cheap fire starters that work way better than most anything you can buy.
I love that , it all fitted in a pill bottle, great video, as usual. God bless..
Good kit only thing I would ad is some magnesium shavings
My fire kit: tampons, rope lighter, permanent match, ferro rod, magic relight candles, sapphire Len, ranger bands, dual blade folding knife, and a whistle.
A very good vid nothing I would dare complain about at all there ,it would all fit in a small belt pouch and be a superb emergency back up .My main fire kit I keep in my "British army mess tins" (no major reason for the choice it is just that I am British and we have a lot of them here very inexpensive and effective .) which contain 2x 8 hour burn time night lights an old film canister as you have with Vaseline impregnated cotton wool (often magnesium shavings too depending on how many blocks I have .) Waterproof matches plus life boat matches and striker cards and a Bic lighter and ferro rod. I also found a match shaped fire lighter used to start BBQ's here apparently ,about 4 inches long strikes like a match and is about an inch square which I call my last resort fire starter a little OTT perhaps but it works all that plus a Hexi stove I love it . Of course this is separate from what I keep in my pockets and belt pouches because if I lose my pack for whatever reason ,I have everything I need for fire water and protection from the elements ,with a small first aid kit and my main knife ,I get into some pretty remote places so I like to be certain of the basics and always have back up kit that will get me home or at least keep me alive until I am found . I do like your presentation style it is straight forward no nonsense, easy to follow and wonderfully practical without relying on all the latest gear .Thank your for your hard work .
For the Tea-lite candle, light it and set it on a thin piece of tree bark. Slide it in under the fire lay and let it burn under your twigs. Works great for damp tinder. Once the fire is established, slide the candle out from under the fire and save it for later.
Some great ideas thanks for sharing.
I loved the jute demonstration. Now jute is on my Home Depot shopping list.
Very good video help alot
Great little video.
My wife uses those cotton facial pads and those are what I add petroleum jelly to. This idea of using a medicine bottle is so simple I dont know why I haven't heard or thought of it. Thanks for the help and keep up the wandering.
Dryer lint is a good starter. If you can still get plastic drinking straws, cut them down to either half length or in thirds, melt one end closed. Then push as much lint in. Then bend the other end and melt it closed.
Great video! An optional piece to add would be a magnesium pencil sharpener or regular one. Thanks for the video.
Great video! A small flexible fresnel lens would be a great addition to the kit!
Absolutely love the lego guy!!!!
Always sort your shavings on a solid piece of duct tape for "anchoring". If a fire is necessary for survival, then conditions are probably not likely to be equivalent to this demonstration of still, controlled conditions.
Nice video, looks like you could add some lamp wick which has the end charred, it can be used similar to char cloth to facilitate making a birds nest type fire, also birthday candles work well….
Great kit. I build something similar from PVC plumbing material. Pipe, end cap glued and screw on cap on other end. You can choose diameter.
I'd come to a similar conclusion with the plastic pill bottle, I saw YT bushcrafters with fire kits as big as my entire possibles pouch and it's not really necessary, especially when you are walking a good few miles. You have to carry that backpack full of unnecessary junk. If you live in an urban environment and haven't access to fatwood don't be ashamed to put an old newspaper or something in your backpack until you find some fatwood. If you get soaked stuffing your boots with newspaper at night is a good way to dry them out and many other uses, weighs nothing and costs nothing extra.
