ARC LIGHTER REVIEW

[@dilldoesstuff4264]

I watched about 5 videos before coming across yours, your review video is by far the best ive seen. Most people sit in a room and light a candle. Thank you for showing all the different things this will actually ignite. Great video!!!

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Dill!! Thanks for watching it and for the accolades. I try to put a piece of equipment through a good bit of different tests when I review it. Try to answer questions I have or had about tit before I bought the item or had it given to me to use and test out. Glad you got some useful info out of the video! Have a great week.

[@repunzelification]

Yep. I have been wondering, anything apart from a candle. Answered all my Qs. Including if it floats?

[@kirneyc.thibodeaux649]

Have 4 of these. Use 1 everytime i go in the woods. Im in the woods at least once a week. I love these. I recharge .ine with a compact solar panel. Enjoyed the video. Charles

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Kirney! I like that they recovered so quickly from the water. They last a long time on a charge too. On the bad side they dont have a flame so that can make lighting some items difficult. But overall I am for carrying one of these. Even the cheap Bic ones. I have it in my queue to do a video on them as well.

[@LinusB20A]

Great video🎉

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Linus! Thank you! I try incredibly hard to make great videos. Appreciate the compliment

[@CC-dz6mw]

Great detailed video! I am ordering myself one of these lighters today. Thanks again.

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Chris! They are pretty cool. I was amazed at the recovery time after getting soaked. They last a good long time on a charge too, but like anything else it will die and need recharged. The piezo electric pics are great as well. Thanks for watching and for the comment. If you are not already sign up for my newsletter (scroll to the bottom of my homepage on my website) and I will send out the videos to you when I make them. I am not longer posting on YT, many already know this and have followed me to Rumble - rumble.com/c/c-343225 . Take care, your support is always appreciated

[@joeyc818]

Cool lighter for shure Im really glad you didnt get a shock after you dropped it in the bucket open and lit it right away

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Joey! It was a surprising find that it doesn't take any recovery at all after being dunked in water. And no shock when using it either LOL.

[@susantemple2232]

I've carried one of those orange or lighters around in my kit for about a year now. I love it. It's not my first choice for starting a fire, but it's a good backup. After a full year, I still have not had to recharge it.

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Susan! I keep it in my camera bag and have used it quite a bit and still haven't had to recharge it. Its a good thing because I dont know exactly where I put the charger HAHA! It is not perfect, but it does definitely have a place in my kit!

[@bankbeaterzoutdoors6185]

That was awesome Madison. I do believe you sold at least one with this review. The water test was what sold me. Thanks for the review and have a great week. ~Ken~

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Well its not the intention to sell the a product, but give you all a glimpse into the some of the options out there and let you see if they are worth it or not. The water test was pretty impressive and absolutely surprised me. I thought it would float (that disappointed me when it sank) but it lifted my spirits when it light right after being brought out of the water. Catch you later Ken!!

[@brianmiller6055]

Good stuff Madison. I have an arc lighter stashed in my gear. I laughed thinking about how none of those tinder materials were really hot, it just didn't take you long to demonstrate them lol.

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Brian, There were a few that nipped my fingers with the flame. Some worse than others, but its hard to talk and time the flame so it doesn't blister your fingers. Thank you for watching and commenting. Appreciate your support!

[@kevincage1641]

Haudi. Great and very informative video. Does anyone know if you can light a smoking pipe without difficulty? Good shot Madison! Thanks again.

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Kevin! Thanks for watching. I know you can light a cigarette with no difficulty because the tip of the cigarette or cigar can come in direct contact with the arc. However I would think that lighting pipe tobacco would be a bit more difficult because it can not come in contact with the arc. I suppose you could light a piece of paper of something and then use the paper to light your pipe. Thanks Kevin! Take care!

[@Knife_Collector]

I always wanted one of these,, but never got around to ordering one.. now your making me want one again.

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey KC!! They are pretty cool and pretty resilient for sure! It has a place in my firekit!

[@butchferguson8430]

Bought one yesterday at Tractor Supply 10.00 dollars. Thanks for the review!

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Butch Ferguson that’s a good price Butch! I was surprised how well it recovered from the water. It has a few draw backs but overall it’s a good piece of kit. I carry one with me now. 👍🔥

[@TommyBrown-Joliet]

Awesome lighter. It's like someone put little lightning bolts in that orange case. I am a former cigarette smoker and I had a lighter similar, but it had a coil that heated to a red glow instead of the tiny lightning bolts. You did a good review. 👍

[@bombproofbushcraft]

I used to smoke as well. THANK GOD I quit. Man that is the best thing I ever did! I have had just about every type of lighter known to mankind. The torch ones, the hot coils (like a car cigarette lighter), zippos, BIC, matches, and now the arc lighter. And yes the arc lighter is EXACTLY like Thor commanded little balls of lightening to take up residence in the lil orange case! Thanks for watching Tommy!

[@yllibtaog]

I'm sold!!! Great demonstration. I would have never considered one of those, now I want it bad.

[@bombproofbushcraft]

You old Billy Goat! What you doin? Heck year these are pretty cool. I keep it in my camera bag (it goes with me almost everywhere and has the electronic stuff for recharging etc). Great piece of kit. I wish I could direct you to my site to get them, but I dont have them in stock as of yet, But go see if Paul Corona over at Black and White fire starter (mr outdoorsy on Etsy) has them. He is the one that sent me this one. If not put it on your Christmas list and see if Santa Claus will bring it to you!. Take care !

[@davidhansen9665]

Just got mine, after seeing this video, awsome lighter

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey David! These little arc lighters are pretty cool. I was really impressed by the lack of need for recovery after getting wet. They hold a charge for a good while. I would say that is the only real weakness. The charging part. I still carry Bic lighters. But thes little guy has a permanent home in my kit.

[@BushCraftBums]

BOOM! Awesome review Maddie! Looks like a solid product. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed one

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Guys!!! Thanks for stopping in. This is a pretty solid piece of gear. But like anything else it isn't for everyone. For me though, I carry one for the reliability when wet! Take care, Catch you all later on your channel....BTW So good to see you guys back out by the campfire sharing the woodsy gospel!!!

[@rhettoracle9679]

Joan of Arc Needed a spark To lighten the dark. Without a wire, She started a fire. I have one in O.D. green. Windproof is main advantage. Cheers

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Scott!! Nice rhyme LOL!! I agree being windproof is a huge advantage! The recovery from the water impressed and surprised me as well. It is in my fire kit. Specially since it is possible to charge it with the solar charger I use for my camera and phone.

Cool lighter. I'll check it out.

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey James! Its not a bad piece of kit. It has earned a spot in my field bag, but the BIC lighter still edges out because it can light even when it is out of fuel. But all in all this arc lighter can be recharged with a solar charger and does a great job. I said it before, it surprised the heck out of me that it worked when pulled directly from the water even when it was opened. Catch you later James!

[@bombproofbushcraft]

I have to agree John! Its in my kit for keep now!

[@swagatrout8748]

Can it shock you if its electricity?

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Swagat! I do not think it has enough push to do so. I am not an electrician, but I know that there has to be a certain amount of either volts or amps to overcome resistance . This little unit doesn't contain that amount. I pulled it out of the water there at the end and used it immediately and didn't feel a thing as it "lit" up.

[@tomritter493]

Hey maddie haven't got around to doing my vid on the stuff but everything should be done here this week great lighter though

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Tom! The lighter is pretty good indeed. Worth taking a look at it anyhow. Ill keep an eye out for your vids!

[@Edward2092009]

I haven't got one of those yet, do you sell them?

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Ed! I dont see them, but one of my suppliers "BLACK AND WHITE FIRESTARTERS" carries them. You should be able to find him on ETSY under mr.outdoorsy ( www.etsy.com/shop/MrOutdoorsy?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=701984393 ) I carry some of his kits, but he has a pretty extensive line of fire starting goods, so I dont carry them all. Great guy to deal with. His name is Paul Corona and he was one of the first suppliers I had contact with when I started and still talk to him a few times a month just to see how things are going and make orders etc. All of his goods are awesome to use as well!

[@johnherian781]

getting one for the kit.

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey John! They are really good little lighters. They last for a good long time, but always make sure they have a charge or that you have a way to charge them up via solar or some other method. I like mine a lot! Take care!

[@gear_addicted]

Hello! How long does the charge lasts and how long does it take to recharge?

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Bulgarian Bushcraft! I still haven't run through the original charge and its been a few months I've been using it weekly. The paperwork that comes with it says it will hold the charge for 90 presses that last 8 seconds each. The recharge will vary I am sure considering it would take me longer to charge with my solar panel than with the wall socket or with the charger in my truck.

[@bensoncinematics3216]

I can't find them online anywhere. Any links?

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Benson! I don't have them in stock yet, but you can contact Paul Corona (and the virus was NOT named after him) on Etsy. His business is Black and White fire starter. That is where I got mine. He is a great guy, not sure if he sells them only as a kit or individually. But check out his stuff anyhow, it is good. www.etsy.com/shop/MrOutdoorsy?listing_id=783762271&ref=shop_overview_header I have heard of other places to get them as well, folks have said they got theirs from tractor supply, quality farm and fleet etc., Probably get them from Walmart or Amazon or Ebay as well.

Hey Sam! these lighters a surprisingly good. I had my doubts, but I am pretty happy with it. What really made me a believer was how it recovered from the water without any action on my part. I still carry the trusty BIC but this is always in the pack as well.

[@XSevenSonata]

Those are nice. I oddly collect lighters. Hi, Maddie!

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey XSS! These are pretty nice. They are long lasting and they are work well. I keep it in my camera case along with my other electronic doo-dads and thing-a-majigs. Soooo how many lighters have you collected so far?

[@XSevenSonata]

I have about fifty lighters. I collect different types. I have zippo styles, torch styles, arc and some other rechargeable ones that are not arc, more of a heating coil. Theres a company called Vector that makes butane inserts for zippo style that I buy. Because although I like the still flame, lighter fluid evaporates quicker than butane. I have a couple of those cases for zappos, too. With the gasket. I didn't buy this arc style until recently, though. I thought it was neat. I keep it in a small molle pouch with other electronics. The ability to create fire is a great gift.

[@bombproofbushcraft]

@@XSevenSonata Hey XSS! Fire is the only element that we can create. Wind water and earth are not within or ability to breathe life into, but fire is something the human race mastered in order to survive and thrive in every environment on earth. That is pretty huge. Then we simplified it by making it portable with colorful plastic gizmos. Thats pretty amazing aint it LOL

Hey John!!! I need fire retardant fingers LOL. So yeah I was booted unceremoniously from FB. Not an email or nothing to say why. I did a video on the subject. Bombproof Bushcraft holds no political opinions one way or the other. However, Madison Poole (me) on the personal account can not keep her witty comebacks and posts associated with the truth factual truths to herself. The bombproof account was linked to my personal account and they were both removed. Not only was I removed, I was erased as if I never existed. All posts and any comments have been wiped. All attempts to recover have been in vain. I have moved on (there is a video on it that I have done recently). Now you can find me on MEWE, PARLER, KZbin and INSTAGRAM. I am looking into other social media platforms to diversify. Hope to see you on one of those platforms! Until then keep looking for me here when I can get vids out! Thanks John!!!

Madison … its nice to see you … Im going to be harsh on you … but as a friend. You need to be more regular with your videos in that you started at one per week on a Sunday and that has changed to when ever and I don't think you have a forward looking plan as to what to cover on your videos. You know I don't think much of films of going round a gathering and see people tell you what they do but no one shows their items whether they are good or bad. Interviews? who are these people …. if you want subs and viewers from around the world these people need to be known and be interesting to your subs .. oh and interesting enough to get more subs. You are only at 430 subscribers after all this time …. going to take a long time to get to 1000 far less superstardom. I am going to stop there as I hope you get the message … as my mother used to say when I was small … its for your own good!! … atb Jim

[@blueoutside3394]

I agree been looking forward to her video for awhile now kinda got worried alittle bit

[@bombproofbushcraft]

Hey Jim! I wish I could be more regular with my vids. I know I used to put them out there once a week, but life has gotten complicated and quite busy. There are many things happening in my personal life that must take precedent. I am currently starting a business, working way too much at my regular job, and trying to organize thoughts and ideas for a website for my business. I also am helping organize a gathering for the spring and continue my training with different outdoor schools and people. That all adds up to taking as lot of time out of my week. The folks in those interviews (Jason Reddick, Benjamin Raven, Carleigh Fairchild, Tracy Wilson) have all been either on TV shows or written books on something to do with bushcraft survival and and self reliance. The videos I do at the gatherings are to help promote the folks that are following their passion by creating the goods we use in our industry. They need every minute of free advertising they can get, and I will keep doing those vids because without those folks we are forced to buy from Walmart, target and other big box stores. This channel is not about me getting to any number of subscribers by any given time. I know several folks right now that have youtube channels that literally hung in the hundreds of subs for years, then 1 video skyrocketed them to the tens of thousands. This is about me sharing skills, inspiring folks, introducing them to folks that they may not know providing skills or services they didn't know about. KZbin isn't a revenue source for me. It isn't intended to be. It is a way for me to connect with other folks around the world interested in the same things I am and sharing my journey with them. I learn a lot from the folks that comment about how they do things differently. I take your comments seriously, and I appreciate the advice. I won't stop making the vids I make. I know not every video is going to be interesting to every subscriber. I don't even release every video I make because I am not happy with the quality, so I shuffle it to the back and will revisit it when I get the time to correct the issues in those vids. Take care Jim and thank you again for your cogent, straightforward advice. It is always appreciated!

[@bombproofbushcraft]

I haven't come any where near quitting, nor will I. Just spent the entire summer traveling and learning a lot from different people and schools and gatherings. Winter doesn't look like it is going to slow down any for me with the organizing of a gathering and starting a new business. But I will always get dirt time in somewhere and I will always make vids (at least for the foreseeable future) Thanks Blue!!
