Absolute Best Firestarters On Earth! | 2018

[@DropForgedSurvival]

*WHICH ONE WAS YOUR FAVORITE!?! If you are DIY only... What is your Method of Choice!?*

[@darthblade2016]

For me, its a tie between the Fiberlight and the Fatrope stick. I have them both in my fire kit and they work great!! Those quick fires look a lot like the zip fire blocks i have. Wonder if they're just smaller versions

[@youngm3333]

Can you do a beginners fire kit

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Emanuel Aguirre Beginners? Fire Kit

[@scotthill6807]

I gotta try the Wax Wood Sticks! I think that will be a winner for me. My DIY firestarters are Petroleum Jelly and cotton Makeup Rounds I put in old Skoal containers. I melt the PJ and dip the rounds half way. They give me 7-12 minutes of good flame.

[@thethinker5284]

I liked them all, but you spoiled it when you admitted there wasn't any dragons breath. I'm crushed.

[@chrispierce2942]

Cotton facial cleaning pads dipped in wax. Flat for packing, waterproof and when fluffed open and lit, will burn 7 to 12 minutes.

[@mensch.meier.8816]

Ich nehme Tampon in Flüssigwachs getaucht. 5mm Scheibe abschneiden,aufbauschen,läuft. Absolut zuverlässig.

[@cybbyc]

And to think that when we were children our parents told us not to play with fire. We become adults and there are myriad "toys" for starting fires. Awesome video, subscribed.

[@aribbonatatime]

The best fire starter when you have to get something going and you don't have time to play around is a road flare. Pull it out, strike it and put it under your wood pile. It burns for about 10 to 15 min and you will have a rip roaring fire by the time it goes out.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Definitely a good choice in absolute life or death. But.... I can carry a full 30 day kits for less than half that flares size. If I am physically able. ID rather save that flare to signal and flag down help.

[@aribbonatatime]

@@DropForgedSurvival Yeah, I like to have one or two in my pack because it's great in those life or dead situations especially when it's snowing or raining.

[@shovelhead8]

Some great fire starters. Thank you for showing them to us, Chris and the DropForgedSurvival crew.

[@suberblackiron]

For me the fire strip roll is freaking awesome I love it helps a bunch also imma look in to that multi use strips that looks really useful....

[@DropForgedSurvival]

jerry garcia I love the fire strip roll

[@suberblackiron]

Yeah when I first saw the vids you did with I was so amazed and dazed I that I bought a 5 pack and damn just like you love them....

[@richardsolomon8076]

9 wonderful products, I've been using cotton balls with candle wax dried on them, I also have some in my kit with patrolium jally on them, both work well. The fat rope looks like a great starter 90 fires and the strip cutup 324 fires from one role that's gotta be a great value for money deal. Another great video Chris, well done

[@ladeda7033]

Come on man. Too much hype. For 3 bucks you can buy a candle in the glass and a pack of 160 cotton make-up pads. Dip those in the wax and lay em out to harden. In 10 minutes you got a huge stack of 8minute fire pads! Enough to last you all winter! Cheap easy no mess works in the rain is bad ass tinder!

[@SARDiverDave]

For four bucks more, I can skip all that work. My time is worth more than that.

[@BackwoodsRaised]

Heck yeah that is awesome. Great job on the video. I need to check these out for sure. Stay safe and stay awesome bud.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Backwoods Raised Thanks alot bud

[@terryshrives8322]

Regardless of what other's are saying. This was a great video. I think we all know how to make use of what's available to us in our surrounding's. It's nice to know what's out there. It's also nice to see what's out there to have on hand when your in a hurry. If you have never been in a situation where there is no tinder because of weather or there simply are no resources available, I would say you lack experience or just haven't been out enough. These are valuable and worth taking a look at. Awesome video, thanks for sharing.

[@cskreeper2191]

The fire strip roll is insane... need to get my own!!!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

CSKreeper21 It is very legit

[@leeferris4807]

love the fire starters. great video

[@Moostery]

In my opinion the best fire starters are home made. They work just as good as any bought ones and only cost pennies to make.

[@semco72057]

Those are nice to start a fire with, but in the Mid-West, and East Coast we don't need that stuff if the camper knows how to start a fire in most cases. I believe that if I was anywhere in this country I could find what I need to start a fire in nature along with the fire steel and knife I have.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Ok. I did very clearly cover that exact topic! Haha 😉

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

nice thanks !!!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Anytime bud

[@Flarexxxx]

Gotta love the back woods here in nova Scotia XD white and yellow birch everywhere

[@swynty777]

For anyone that doesn't know don't use a lighter around a tent like that, whole tent will dissappear in about 10 seconds

[@justinhollar503]

As someones whos been camping/playing with fire starters as long as i can remember, I cant believe how few of these ive seen, and yet how relatively comprehensive this video was. Though I think gels shouldve been mentioned, thanks for a video that doesnt feel like it was sponsored to death 👌

[@lettingthebearout7528]

Great vid. You can baton with a folding knife. Just unlock the blade and lay the blade on the “log” and the knife handle down the side at a right angle.

[@BowChickaHonkHonk1]

I like it when I find videos like this, and they highlight the usability after you take an unexpected swim. Not always looking for a fire starter that works on a good day! Also breaking down the info I need for cost per fire is really helpful. Thanks for the attention to detail :D

[@ChiefinGuam]

Excellent video! That roll is probably my favorite of the bunch.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

That Roll is Pretty Darn Cool!

[@meredithtomas9280]

I love the BOSS kitsch bought mini kit for.mine and mine and my.parents EDC bag...easy many options in 1 compact kit

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Doesn't last nearly as long as some of the others... but for a near idiot proof kit! Its gold.

[@jclrch]

Thanks Chris for answering this very important question.

[@Shane-Singleton]

Is there some place I can buy just the Smurf shit by itself? Really don't want to pay ~$60 for a striker with a built in compartment.

[@josephasaro9662]

Great video Chris you give me a lot of good ideas to try out with my boys.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Glad you found this video helpful bud

[@soldierofdirt81]

one also that is a good one, but is a bit bulky and may be difficult to pack is zombie tinder! Those all mentioned are absolutely awesome!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

I have made Better DIY ones.. for 1/10th the cost.

[@nando68two]

You're tickling my pyro bone! Great video Chris, you really did a great job covering the broad range of commercially made tinders!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Fire... Creates and destroys everything we know on this planet... It is essential to learn

[@nando68two]

So True! Have you see the Pull Start Fire? Basically it's about the size of a pack of cigarettes, you lay it into a pile of wood, than grab the rip cord and pull, then it just erupts into a very hot and long burning flame to start even waterlogged wood. They seem kind of like a gimmick and they're kind of expensive at 3 for $18 bucks! What do you know about them?

[@Stuckofftherealness]

Can you use a ferro rod to start the quick fires? If so how does it work

[@0penEyesAndMind51]

You can carefully shave the rod down and make a small pile of the metal to act as a small flash tinder but generally you always need some kind of tinter, the Sparks alone won't start a fire you need a fibrous material to catch the spark

[@davidrybarczyk9488]

The fire strip roll is my favorite one.

[@mushroom330]

Thanks Chris. I enjoyed this one very much. Sending love from the UK :)

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Thanks alot bud!

[@gunsnation5787]

Will you test out a custom survival kit that I made?

[@DropForgedSurvival]

All of my Survival Kits are custom.

[@sosteve9113]

Sounds interesting

[@warrenkawamoto8660]

Has anyone tried scraping chips from a Duraflame fireplace log? Just curious if it would work. One log could make a gazillion fires.

[@dsb2767]

I wish we could get some of that here in Australia

[@sierraelec7105]

Fire Tinder in the small bag would be my favorite. Cool stuff

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Awesome Sauce!

[@dilligaf7321]

outstanding products brother thanks for sharing have a blessed weekend

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Thanks Mike!

[@Swagtastic22-r9l]

Dropforgedsurvival, its snowing where im at... is it at your place?

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Its south Texas..... so no. 😉

[@iammoose4349]

Could you make a series like this, so next a best water kit goodies on earth? Thanks awesome video

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Very Interesting Idea!

[@StevenTheAristolianNerd]

Tip: Make a base, then stack wood on it going parallel to the direction of the base. Keep doing that changing the way it faces. Make a nest like thing up top and put fire tinder in it and kindling then start the fire. It will burn from top to bottom and last longer than bottom to top.

[@Flarexxxx]

Make a cabin and light it in reverse basically? Normally would use a similar thing to light damp wood but light at the bottom and burn up to dry the damp first

[@PatrickDustman]

Great video, i really like it SurvivalAustria

[@cassidyjonson3741]

What liquid did you pour on the fire stick??

[@praingmantis1]

He dumped water on it to prove it will lite when wet.

[@xabiercasidy72]

I prefer to use fat wood,but that wax wood looks pretty cool, have to try it some time.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

I like alot more the fatwood. Soft and easy to cut

[@knivesedge7205]

Just wondering what your favorite outdoor folder is under $50

[@DropForgedSurvival]

We have an entire playlist of your Most Recommended Survival under $30

[@CleanmoneyBobby]

like always quality production. didnt know about some of these defiantly gonna have to check it kuy

[@cariboocountryoutdoors3032]

Good video buddy i cant wait to try the fat rope stick the fire rope can never have enough fire starter

[@xxxxxxxxxx6903]

Generic brand cotton ball soaked with generic petroleum jelly. I've made successful campfires in deep wet snow in the sierra mountains with 'em. Even when every possible natural source of tinder is wet or damp in 20F + windy conditions.

[@prithvirajsuri1733]

Try dipping cotton in rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer

[@dannykrise9721]

Petroleum jelly works best. Cook it down to a liquid and soak your cotton balls in it. Stores indefinitely and burns forever.

[@winnersedgeinternational3642]

I like pine sap. That i scrape off of pines as I walk and pit in a ziplock bag.....it is free and it works beautifully.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

I would love love love pine trees here in my part of the world!

[@johngarnett8293]

Which is your favorite, I plan on carrying it in esse box in I'm knife pack.

[@eugeneandemmakeelan4065]

Awesome vid man, hey what do you think about fire paste?

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Heard of it... Im down to check it out

[@criticalthinker6011]

@@DropForgedSurvival I usually use petroleum impregnated cotton balls, but if someone put a gun to my head and said that I had to make a fire in any weather condition then Coghlan's Fire Paste would be my choice.

This video is awesome. But it shows how much prices for things have gone up. The Procamptek fire starters are now double the price of what you said in the video.

[@nathanielnivison7984]

Yeah it’s also been 5 years and we have the worst president to ever live I wonder why. 💭

[@parajared]

How strong does the alcohol you are bringing along on the trip have to be to qualify as a "firestarter" and "necessary for survival".

[@dannykrise9721]

Kinda late but what is that folder you're using?

[@lindamegliore104]

I found something at Wal Mart that is good and pretty cheap. Called Insta fire. 1$ a bag lights 4 fires. And can be stretched out for more depending on how much you use. Worked on wet wood for me a couple weeks ago. Haven't tried it under water yet.

[@brianlejeune7717]

man thy are awesome where can i get them and what store i cant find them where i live

Really really cool useful video. So many awesome items it’s a collector (or hoarders lol) dream. Loving these videos with you and wifey! It’s always nice as obviously a gal to see women who also enjoy similiar things and that me (the viewer) makes watching these more relatable. Definitely do more videos together in the near future!! Take care :)

MsNikkieMichelle I agree, this is a useful video. 🙂

[@davideastman3608]

I'm diy I use pitch wood using a hand plane to make shavings i keep half in one bag and using an old coffee grinder grind up the other half. I store it all in a seal a meal bag in my kit.

[@chrscharomonte1781]

these things are great but in a SHTF long time scenario... how much can you carry... best to learn how to use the fuel around you first then get this bought fires starters for a back up.

Awesome video boss I enjoyed the content. What are your thoughts on fire paste And char cloth

[@Jm0417-s]

I like fatwood but it's sometimes difficult to find. pine resin is much easier to find. lint from the clothes dryer usually works pretty well and is free, unless you have dried wool or flame retardant treated fabrics like nomex.

[@justforfunbushcrafterjustf4853]

Another cool vid i love the fact ya hole family gets into Bushcraft ya wife cracks me up lol

[@DropForgedSurvival]

She is an awesome lady!

[@nicholascremato]

I take an old pair of bluejeans that I am going to throw out and cut 3 or 4 inch squares and soak them in candle wax I tear them a little and light them. How about taking a duralog or fake fire log and cut it up on the band saw into discs and light them. They will burn for 30 minutes.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

If that works for you bud!! do your thing bud

[@WarGrrl3]

The prices on 'most' of these products are not too bad, the issue is that you must buy multiples and then a very high shipping charge. That's why I stick to the awesome TinderQiks

[@DropForgedSurvival]

They are good for small kits. Would never bring them for long term

[@donnahlogerot6081]

Have you tried a fire starter that doesn't require a lighter, such as Pull Start Fire?

[@Funkteon]

I made one from an empty TicTac packet filled with sparkler shavings and a pull-strike match - The heat and fire given off by a sparkler bomb is enough to start a fire in torrential rain...

[@bobm1625]

Really liked today's video. Thank you. Cool stuff for me to buy.

[@curtiscf1986]

You can buy a big bag of fatwood on the shelf at Walmart for like $5.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Yes you can. but Fatwood does 3 things I cant stand. It physically Hardens over time, get becomes very sticky and tacky inside a kit, bag, or inside a vehicle where you are keeping that survival kit, and the tarred Black Smoke smells and tastes awful if you get blasted in the face within the first 12 minutes.
