    Thank you Kevin. I never leave home without belly button lint. It's a manmade tinder, that works the best.

    We also use to collect cattail fluff and keep it in a plastic bag for when we needed it. Works really well too.

    When I'm out hunting I always look for hunks of dried pitch on trees . Just break that off and it works really good . Also, dryer lint.just put some in a baggie and put it in your kit . Just a couple that I use .

      Rub some Vaseline in it and it burns a lot longer.

      @@stevep7608 You're referring to the dryer lint ? If so , I was taught that trick sometime back in my training , but to do it with cotton . I'd do it with the lint but I've never had a problem getting lint started. Thanx tho. I always appreciate good advice. Best to ya bro.

    Great video! My fire kit(s) has ignition sources and accelerants. Accelerants I carry are: petroleum jelly, hand sanitizer, bicycle inner tube, and trioxane (and HEET if I have an alcohol stove). I also carry candles, like small birthday candles, to save the fuel of my ignition sources.

    Jute twine soaked in paraffin wax works like a match, or fluff it up and it will burn hotter and faster.

    I do the Altoids can full of charcoal and pine resin with a ferro rod. Collect pine sap and melt it on a double boiler then pour it in the can n let the charcoal soak it up. Thing will start dozens of fires and burns like napalm

    Thanks Kevin. As an old towny all my life you've taught me lots in video. Paler leaves been bleached by the sun for longer so bound to be drier. Alcohol hand sanitiser & vaseline on cloth too with their alcohol content. No BS true demos especially good. Cheers!.

    John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
    This life isn't all there is, and time to be saved is running out. If you are not born again, call on Jesus Christ today. If you will ask Jesus Christ with a genuine heart to please forgive all your sins and come into your heart and please save you, he will save you and you will soon know how real he is. God bless.

    • @sparrowflying864

      Asking Jesus in your heart does nothing. You have to repent by going to the river confessing your sins and taking John's baptism of repentance according to Acts2:38. That's repenting.

      @@sparrowflying864 I'm not going to argue about this, as I am taking from personal experience. And got saved and baptised by the Holy Ghost over 4 years ago. Do you really think God is not going to save someone who cries out to him with a genuine heart, because they don't have anyone to baptise them, obviously not.
