I put the telescoping metal tubes into my kit, just so I don't have to maybe get my face down to the tinder pile to add oxygen to the baby fire. Rather have my head up so I can see around, and not possibly get smoke into my face while working on the process.
Man, I was disappointed that you totally skipped over the Cub Scout knife! …if indeed that’s what it is. It looks like my very first knife that my Dad got me on my 8th birthday. He told me “Son, if you take it to school and somebody sees it, they will take it away and you won’t have a knife any more”. I took it to school every day. Nobody ever saw it. That started my lifelong knife obsession, AND my lifelong situational awareness all at the same time. It was the greatest knife experience I’ve ever had.
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this most informative video. The ability to make a fire 🔥 is vital to one's survival in inclement weather. All the best to you. Stay safe out there. Keep these informative videos coming along. 🤗 👋
Good kit for emergency, teaching, and everyday use. We tend to go heavy on DIY components because items imported to the Philippines are super expensive when you add transportation, import fees, and VAT tax. Your heads up on packing a chunk of a used radio antenna to make bellows is golden. Why that one did slap me in the head long ago I have no idea.
Nice my video and love the old way of fire starting ….flint &steel with tin box thats awesome going to look into kits or ways of …. Looks like a long way of prepping kit but worth the hobby.Thank you
Nice Kit, you should practice more with charred natural materials, char cloth is not historically correct, if you care about such things otherwise charred cloth is easy enough to make until you run out of extra cloth then you'll be left to cutting up your clothes.
Brother, I have blown out probably 6 pairs of jeans in the last few months. Also about 20 old t-shirts between me and my son. I have a rediculous amount of cloth cut up ready to go now. I also save the back pockets and ends of the legs if they aren't tore up. They make great easy to sew pouches. I have also used the makeup cotton rounds and cotton balls. I make my charcloth and other charred materials in a 1 gallon paint can. I bought it just for that sole purpose. I simmer it on my outdoor cooktop until the fumes won't ignite then it's all good. Speaking of punkwood and fatwood wood we have a pine up on the hill a bit behind the house. It's rotted and the top 30' has fell, I need to get out there and process all of that down I'm sure there is plenty of fatwood in it I've looked it over a bit. Hope all is going well for ya up there brother.

fresnel lense /magnifying glass + charcloth + birds nest = easy💥
I put shrink tube on the mouth piece of bellows..putting lips on that metal below freezing is no fun..like the channel!
A wonderful idea for cold climates. Thank you.

I have many pocket knives, but my old Scout knife is still in my pocket some. Yes it is an old one just like me!

Great Video and Channel! Any chance of maybe doing a product review on our Firestarters?

Hey Prepared Wanderer,

Thanks!

Excellent video 👍 I would replace the char cloth with charred punk wood just because I’ve had better luck with it.
I think you meant inhale instead of exhale.Good video.
We do both on a regular basis with our young troops so they keep in practice. Always something "cooking" in the coals after BBQ and a hot drink.
I think you meant INHALE.
I am sure I did
What's the link to that match safe? Sorry, it's just a pet peeve for people t specifically call out a product but not link it.
The brass match safe seems to be very good, they are sold out every where.
Guess you meant "do not inhale" instead of exhale as you said in the video...?😉
