it's good for how long?

Get a small zip lock baggie. Take a big spoonful of Vaseline and put it in the bag. Use the bag to wipe the Vaseline off the spoon. Add cotton balls. Seal the bag. Massage the bag until all balls are coated evenly. You're welcome.

Nice video!

I realize this was first posted in 2014. Anyway I hope you are doing good and thanks for the details

Thanks a lot bud helped well

It's interesting that KZbin videos on "how to build winter fires" directly contradict each other: "Don't build on snow" vs "OK to Build on Snow." What's a noob to think?

Kevin James?

Old Vicks Vapor Rub that has lost its odor through age works really good too. Plus the container is great to keep the fire starters in.

THANK YOU DAVE. YOU ARE A GOD TEACHER IN THIS FIRESKILS. AND THIS DETAIL ABOUT MAKING A FIRE WITHOUT BEING SEEN OF ANY KIND OF ENEMY IS ALSO VERY USEFUL. ALL THE BEST TO YOU FROM TIM JENSEN INN DENMARK

good boy

Thanks for the informational video man

excellent demo and instruction

Thank-you useful

Break video until you start at begging. Don't diminish yourself.

Why can’t we just soak the cotton in gasoline !

Can you melt the Vaseline and just soak all the cotton balls in it?

dip cotton balls in clarified butter in case vaseline isn't available and you have butter, the cotton acts like the candle wick, and the clarified butter acts as the fuel, works well too, we use that in India for prayer ceremony but I can see it being used as a fire starter as well,

I myself have a break in the adventure when I am in Covid. But just watched your video. You really get the urge to go out again💥😉🙂

Like the positive vibe from you bud😊🙌 Nice video💪

I just got back from a hiking trip from the top a a mountain on the appalachian trail, and when we got up there I accidentally stepped into a freezing stream with non-waterproof boots (first mistake). I also only had 1 pair of wool socks which were the ones I was wearing (second mistake), however I did have a pair of regular socks. Long story short, it took me and my friends an hour to get a fire going, and in that time, it went from a frozen foot to my whole body shaking and going through some of the worst pain I ever felt. It was 15 degrees out, so to everyone who likes the cold and hiking, make sure you bring waterproof boots as well as several pairs of wool socks.

Just great stuff mate keep it up 🤙🏽 love the effort

Great video. I also found a way to melt candle wax and coat the cotton bud in the wax. It can last over 10 minutes with 1 waxed cotton ball.

Hi. Is it a good idea to used small patches of cotton cloth smeared with vaseline as fire tinder?

People from Minnesota sound like people from Far East Canada!

light a fire when its cold, =)

running away 101

12:49 "not only is it getting wet down there" Sorry, I'm such a perv.

Thank you man

Excellent

Great video sir

Great videos. I subscribed because you were asking and shared your great advice

It's snowmobile time bois

Why did you end on KZbin?

I know Woodglut has the best woodworking plans.

Fell asleep on my couch catching up on joe Rogan podcast videos. Woke up to this guy teaching me how to build a fire while being a grade-A sweetheart

Great video brother thanks for sharing your knowledge

you should continue making videos, this is cool

I don't wanna ignite that gonna plug it in my ear fucking ear infections..

Great video content! Excuse me for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Proutklarton Incredible Match Plan (do a google search)? It is a great exclusive product for getting an understanding of how to survive in a disaster and make your own survival food without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my good mate called Gray after many years got cool success with it.

none of this will work worth shit.if that wood is wet you're in trouble

Its so funny i just did yesterday exactly what you mentioned i just followed my logical instinct and did it like that and today i came to search for videos to see how other people do it.

If getting messy bothers you, this video isn't for you.

Hio

This is going to come in really handy for me. I'm an Oklahoman who is going on a winter-camping excursion in the Superior National Forest next January. In Oklahoma, you're more likely to see bigfoot than you are snowfall, so these tips will be incredibly useful. Thanks for the vid.

Shit one time I was stuck in the rain and it was cold I only had a couple of camping stuff i ended up using my sock and some cooking oil to lite wet wood

Your video had some great points I love the comparison of the two fires

Nice video, thank you.

I would also like to add before lighting a fire know how you are going to put it out . a near by water source is good, way to often i come across fire sites in the woods that have been left to burn right down and often on material that can smoulder for many many days . soak it stir it and soak it again . on the point of butane lighters keep them on an internal pocket in cold weather minus 5 and below they work much better. all in all a good video nicely done.

Hahaha im happy i live in australia
