Glad I found your post. Judging by your video and by other commenters, I've come to the right place. I've never understood going small with a fire kit. Great vid & kit. 👍👍👍

The thing you said you don't need anymore is actually a little screwdriver to replace the flint in your zippo .

Enjoyed your video. Looks like you are well prepaired. To me though, thats not just a fire kit, that is a well stocked trading post. I like your choice of knives with the saw as part of your fire kit and the plastic bag. I have always carried a plastic bag to collect tinder in on backpacking trips, there is always plenty of dry tinder even in the rain if you dont wait till the last minute to start looking.

Nice kit. There is no junk all usable items. I know you’re waiting for a few more items which, I have in mine. I have almost exactly the same items in mine, plus a few more. Some of my added items include Hells Fire Clay Tinder. I have a lot more items but, I’m not going to clog up your video with all of them since, you’ve done such a good job putting together a really useful kit. Thanks for the video. The 893

My fire kit consists of fire contents that help start fires. I like to carry this as my EDC. The actual contents in this kit are used to make fires. If you can’t figure out a lighter maybe its time we need to address our friendship. We open this up and what you will notice is the items inside which are used to start fires. If we are still friends then I will show you how to use these fire starting implements to start fires.

That's a lot of really nice, high end goodies, but way too big for my backpack. I just carry an old Coghlan's ferro rod with a small ceramic striker, it's done well for years. Also a Bic lighter in an old pill container, waxed dental rounds, and a few sticks of fatwood. My keychain also has a small ferro rod on it, as well as my knife. Mine's boring and old, but it's never failed to get.a fire lit for me.

I just finished the app for a software development and it looks like it will work perfectly on the Surface Pro 11.

I have a 2017 V6 and heard that it requires a timing belt change. Is this true and how much does that cost? Is it a DIY type project?

"Two is one, one is none..." The part you forgot is by having them in the same place, in the same kit, if you lose the kit you have none. One goes in the kit, one goes on your person or in a knife sheath on your belt...

What would happen when you lose that bag?

I keep a bag of dryer lent.

Nice Fire kit!! Looking forward to your next video!!

Where do you purchase your large Pharaoh rods question mark

I like the video but I could have done without the music constantly playing in the background

Mine is just a bic lighter in my pocket. Has always worked for me. K.I.S.S.

Overkill kit. Definitely not spatially efficient for a backpack. Great for leaving in your car/ truck.

Beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing this.

This insert is available on Amazon (of course) and I also bought a larger well-made unit on Etsy.

Thanks man

I am a huge fan of Was impregnated cotton. Therefore I am a fan of fatrope and fireplugs. I am also cheap so I make my own fireplugs because I can make 250 for under $20.

people really out here lugging around a pound of stuff they'll never use instead of just a lighter, a ferro rod and some wax soaked jute

Just set the solar panel on the table Bro,,,what are you doing .?😂

Why do you need all fire starters? Why did you bought cotton arounds ? If you can make your own cotton arounds.i been doing that cotton arounds with candy wax with crayons they will burn 9 minutes longer and hotter .you only need lighter and Ferro rod not matches and Sparks neither .I been carrying only Ferro rod 1" 7 inch and my lighter and my cotton arounds with wax double wax I using them all time they never failed on me doesn't matter if the wood is soaking wet they will catch on fire Plus they are water proof and wind proof the cotton arounds you buy them in a dollar store for a dollar and wax too the crayons I made over 500 fire starters I always carried them

*Why aren't you using the 12 to 18 Volt DC round barrel plug input instead ? Usually, but not ways, those pouch solar panels also are equipped with a 12 to 18 Volt DC barrel plug (5521 or 5525) output. If you plug that straight into the SHERPA 100 AC's input you will get way more current and charging Wattage. 👍*

This was great, thank you for posting this! Alternative IDEA (SO EASY): I am thinking about how to fashion a mod with longer burn time (longer tubes) for camping, SO... I am going to get some EDC / Pill Aluminum air tight containers, which are the correct diameter (will fit) and longer (meaning longer burn time!) and modify them. FYI, You can look up oil lamp burn hours per ounce, or something like that, to get a better idea for modding. I am looking for 8 to 10 hour burn time. My Mod idea..., since these air-tight aluminum case tubes do not have a "wick holder" when you take off the lid, and you don't want to just drill through the lid and then not be able to seal the tube after use (assuming camping) ...is to fashion a "wick holder" to set *inside the the "container tube"*. This can be as crude as fashioning a piece from a tin can for using as the insert. For instance, a long strip of tin folded into a "U" shape (and with some added handiwork) could be inserted into the tube, with the bottom of the "U" near the top, with a wick hole in it NOTE: if you fashion something that makes it airtight, you may run into issues where the oil/fuel-of-choice does not flow up and keep the wick wet. What you do is drill a tiny hole in the top to alleviate the pressure. INSPIRED BY OUR HOST HERE ...thank you so much!

1:04 ...Looks like a Maxpedition Beefy Organizers Amazon $40 cad

Nice fire kit. Where did you get that fire kit patch on the front? Thanks

Just watched 3 of your videos and you have the cool stuff just like I do. I hardly ever get to have fires in the spots I go due to burn bans. In my area you can't even get denatured alcohol for the stoves. Have to use heat or pressurized gas. It's a bummer but it is what it is. Thanks for sharing.

Where can I get the big fire kit

Nice start. Try adding flint and steel,char cloth and tin, pencil sharpener, Fresno lense, and a little more tinder like wet fire.

so just wondering how long did you keep using this wallet? and do you have any feedback after using for a longer time?

Hell yeah!!! That honey is aesthetically pleasing I want some

We are having that same meal tomorrow. Only ours is supposed to have a few sweet pickles with it.

Great video brother nice setup

My Fire Kit consist of a pair of Reading Glasses for Solar Ignition, and a Key Ring Liquid Match, which gives me both a Spark Ignition Source with the Ferrocerium striker, and flame ignition with a wide variety of common fuels. A Zippo would work too but i already have enough in my pockets. 3 independent sources of ignition with two common items.

Your video was the best I've watched for this thing. It was simple and not full of stupid flashy graphics and annoying music. It was realistic, how I'd actually use the thing. You should have more likes/subs.

I just bought one of these . I heard they suck . Thank you for making me feel a little little better about my purchase .

Because of the coming micronova, declination is moving much farther, and much faster and so declination information is likely incorrect but there is still a way to recalibrate magnetic declination using the shadow of sticks recording the path of the sun---rotation of the earth has not yet changed. First stick will show East. Mark it with a sharp stick pushed in. After a few minutes you can mark sun shadow travel where the shadow has moved - Push another stick in to mark West. Lay a straight stick from the E mark to the W mark. Geographic north or True North is 90 degrees from the E-W line. With your compass pointing toward True North, note how far off your compass is now. That is your true up-to-date declination. My up-to-date declination is 30 degrees, 15 degrees off from the official declination for my area. More on micronova in my 2nd book, Surviving the Micronova: This Train Is on the Tracks will be available in September.

Bought one new. 292,000km. No issues

Good kit but massively overkill. The problem with all you fire lighting gear being in one pouch is when that pouch gets lost. I have a lighter tied to me, other lighters split in different pouches and a ferro rod in my survival kit. You need more tinder. In fact pretty much all I use is wet fire and a lighter.

Looks like they don’t sell the container anymore 😢

Way better than my $7 Walmart knife. Great vid!

I love those uberland tinder wicks! Great fire extender. I also keep a Victorinox fieldmaster, bayite 1/2 large ferro rod with Corona tool sharpener as the striker, Exotac titan and matchcap XL with UCO storm matches, pocket bellow, fresnal lens, couple magnesium blocks for tinder, some home made wax impregnated layerd cardboard and sawdust firestarter and zippo with zippo butane torch insert. I also use the maxpedition jumbo pocket pouch but what spare space I have in it I keep a sawyer mini, worksharp field sharpener and a rat tail file for my axe. Got the idea for the sawdust cardboard firestarter looking at the Coghlan fire lighter matches and seems to work pretty darn well but does require a press of some sorts. I used a tin can, it's lid and a c clamp. Cut cardboard to cans diameter, mix the sawdust with melted wax then soak cardboard in wax slurry and layer into can. When filed roughly 75% put metal lid on top and compress using c clamp. Let dry a week under compression then you can separate some and put into round tin such as a round tobacco tin I had laying around. Tear in half or rough up and you got a decent cheap firestarter.

great video brother. quick question on the Exotac lighter, you mentioned it doesn't leak. Does that also mean the fuel does not evaporate? I really wanted to buy one of those but I was afraid it'll lose the fluid. So I'm just sticking to BIC lighters. Thanks

Nice! What's the burn time on that burner when used in the UCO?

Great for portion control and eating real food:)

A cheap pocket billows can be found at your dollar store. They usually sell back scratches that use the same telescopic tube. Just break off the scratcher part.

1:23 And there you have it! "Have lighter, use lighter!" ALL else is merely a back-up, in case something (what??) goes wrong with your Bic. Well, you could use No1 back-up - your second lighter, or third! [Amazon sells a Bic 3-pack for $2,37!). 7:02 Wow! I'm impressed! Two items so seldom seen anywhere - tea lights and a pencil sharpener! Brilliant! 9:47 That knife looks like a Ranger Grip 79 - Felix Immler has a fascinating book out called "The Swiss Army Knife Book - 63 Outdoors Projects". I've just finished reading it and it is quite astonishing what he can do with just that knife! You might want to try it. Maybe you'll keep that knife to where it belongs! 😉😄 Bottom line is like the Boy Scouts motto says, "Be Prepared!" Your set-up does that, in spades! I love it !

Oh snap that thing is serious business
