Nitrated cattail and steel wool 0000 is better than charcloth for long-term in your kit. As char- cloth can loose its reactivity over time. Also bicycle inner tube rubber. Great flame extender. Free at your local bicycle store.👍alot of your man made fire starters you can make yourself cheaper than battle box.Oh and a couple of Magic birthday candles👍 great video. Thanks from New Zealand 🇳🇿 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

Smart idea catching the scrapings on the sticky side of duct tape! Never heard that before!

[@kan-zee]

🪔🔥Pyro putty (aka Fire paste) is simple to make.... Shredded up cotton balls or dryer lint, put in a altoids tin, add some vaseline (petroleum jelly) and melt with a blow dryer or heat gun. ⚡✨🔥I love that you have Classical Fire starting tools in your kit. (Flint and steel with charcloth/charwood)

[@evanf1443]

I like cotton balls with Vaseline but I personally tend to use bag balm. It’s got a petroleum jelly base but it’s more multifunctional in that it also contains sulfates for the purpose of acting as a mild antibiotic.

Man...i was reading comments on somebody's fire kit video... People always talk about "the more you know the less you carry" and all of that... Constantly criticizing kits... It's like yeah, i only need like 3 or 4 things... But sometimes it's just fun to have loads of random crap to jack around with ... All serious, no fun... I'm all about carry what you want if you can carry it ...and go have 90 ways of fun... Keeping it fun on this channel though!

[@jeffreytuminello3739]

Everyone ALWAYS forgets one of the lightest, naturally waterproof, fire tinder sources from any grocery store, WAXED PAPER!! Bring multiple precut sheets with you. They fold up easily and weigh next to nothing. Oh, and it's coated in a fire extender!!!

[@evanf1443]

I can’t say I’ve ever heard of someone using that out in the bush, sounds like a clever idea. How much processing is necessary for it to catch a spark from a ferro rod?

[@benterwellen]

Great video, the only two things i would add would be some lamp wick, and a candle.........

[@gear_addicted]

Fire kits reviews never gets boring! :)

[@dennisleighton2812]

Some comments: Firstly, the very first in my fire kit is a lighter (Bic or Jet) ! Not negotiable. In addition, I'd have one in my pocket, as well as one in the pack somewhere, and of course another in the car/vehicle. At least one of these would be kept in a Zip-lock bag (to ensure it stays dry at all times). The next item I'd have is a good quality candle (shaved to a rectangular shape, as this takes up less room). Light this immediately from burning tinder to give you time to get things going without the fear of it going out. Depending on the situation, one might want more than one candle. Then, instead of that grater, I'd have a little plastic pencil sharpener! These produce lots of very fine curls very easily, which catch fire nicely! just collect some pencil size twigs and away you go. For initial ignition, I'd always have cotton make-up removal pads, impregnated with hand sanitizer gel, or common petroleum jelly. They are very thin, easy to pack and burn for a good length of time. It's an idea to pack say 5-6 in those tiny Zip-lock bags. As a back-up, a small bottle of hand sanitizer gel will give you dozens of easy starts. I really like that box you have your kit in!

Good fire kit, I have about 35 different fire starting ways and always have the bag with my truck and when I leave my truck on a hike I will take a few ways with me depending on the weather and terrain, thanks for sharing your videos,

[@jspate61]

Nice kit. Love the fat rope. Cheers from Montreal QC Canada

[@tr0ubl3mak3r]

Tampons make good tinder, they're cheap, and are individually wrapped. I keep a couple in my camp bag as surplus tinder! 👌

I dig it. Thanks for sharing. I like the relaxed delivery style. Feels like hanging out around the fire.

[@CROWOUTDOORS]

I agree that the stormproof matches would be a great addition to round out your kit. Aside from the lighter, the stormproof matches would be the next easiest to get a tinder bundle started.

[@cruiser122s.d.8]

Having multiple ways to start fires is a great idea. Great job on your fire kit.

Great quality sound, suspiciously great brother...

I just now discovered you and your videos or vidjas as you say lol I absolutely live your content and it's very helpful. We plan to go tiny and live off the land so your survival videos and hacks are definitely going to be used in our lifestyle. Stay cool man.

Nice kit l like your videos Jason from Melbourne Australia

[@carls.6746]

replace those fire plugs with bigfoot bushcraft fire plugs. they burn 5+ minutes and some of the oil/wax melts and keeps them in place even with a good breeze trying to blow it out.

[@TheLeadEagle]

BEAST MODE!

[@elvisduke7164]

Thank you for what you do. I learn something new. Look up adding a ball bearing set up to your Stihl that way you have an extension or better way to hold a bow drill. You have to find both types of wood for but a lot easier if you have what you need.

[@tinsoldier5621]

Nice. I'd add lighter a sparklite yes you have ferro but redundencies are great matched a small folding knife and lots of tinder including wet fire and Petro balls small candles or stubs. I also make kerosene balls and I carry my own type of cotton ball starters that burn on average of 15 minutes. Little fuel tabs burn great and are easy to light. Liked and subbed

[@christopherhall406]

Great video brother

[@lirnerpublishingnotes]

Hey, yes, sure,no worries , good kit, good description, well outlayed,oh really like the lighter with the extras ,too.question looking for the piston compression rod ?😏

[@larryschoenberger7957]

Might consider some Birthday candles?

[@evanf1443]

I personally prefer a metal tin for storing my fire kit because I can use it to char material. Downside is that it wouldn’t be as waterproof. I love the idea of the smiths tinderbox but I would want one that was all metal instead of that plastic. I also like a zippo over a bic, but that’s mostly because cold is a bigger deal than wet where I grew up, and zippo handles that a bit better. Just my 2 cents though, everything is a give and take when you change things out. Just because it’s better in one regard doesn’t mean it’s not worse in another, you’ve just gotta determine what you need to prioritize.

[@schpoe123]

Steel wooll works best with a battery it will glow cherry red

[@skovbo65]

You should always have a spare Ferro rod in your kit and perhaps a Victorinox farmer or farmer x so you have a tool to process natural tinder beside your grader.

[@watterman7777]

Nice

One of the best fire kits I have seen Great video. Quality information Thank you Stay happy healthy and fluid

[@ghffrsfygdhfjkjiysdz]

Been asking this question on few fire kit videos in last couple of days, but have not got a good reply yet... The question is: why so much different stuff? TBH for the "teaching your daughter about fire starting" this is a good kit, but just for fire starting, why do people need so much DIFFERENT stuff? There is ONE BEST wet tinder, whatever your favorite happens to be; carry a bunch of that and a ferro rod. Large ferro rod (3/4"x6" or 1"x6") will last you years. For dry conditions you get tinder from environment, for wet conditions you have your favorite wet tinder. OK, may be add oil soaked, wax sealed cotton ball which is 15-20 minutes of fuel wich is your last resort. A pencil sharpener for processing twigs into tinder. but that is all you really need. 1. Large ferro rod and striker 2. Your favorite wet tinder (allot of it) 3. Pencil sharpener or similar device for processing twigs into tinder 4. 1x fuel unit 15 minute burn time (for complete emergency) 5. Lighter (this one goes without saying) People say you need multiple sources of ignition... but why? they are all inside your fire kit, you loose one you loose them all...

[@CURRIN1776]

Simple answer. Never rely on just one method. Any and all things can fail. It’s is wise to know many different ways and items to use for fire starting. If in a real world situation you may be out of your favorite way. But come across another’s supply to use. Will you know what it’s for? Will you know how to use it? Will you know how it reacts? Gain and practice with as much as you can. Increase your knowledge outside of what just works or is comfortable or convenient. And above all. Never just rely on just one method. 👍🏻

[@ghffrsfygdhfjkjiysdz]

@@CURRIN1776 what you are talking about are the skills and I completely agree with you. What I am talking about is the stuff you carry with you.

Cotton pads and paraffin can take the place of half that kit. Way cheaper, just as dependable. But not as cool because you didn't get it from a battle box

[@tonimacaroni5305]

I make those but i add parrifin lamp oil. Oil and wax are cousins chemicaly so they mix together. Way easier to catch a spark from ferro rod

What would happen when you lose that bag?

That looks like a good pack for battlbox
