COULD YOU SURVIVE? The Bic Lighter Survival Kit - What Can You Do With Just a Bic Lighter?

[@devonteadams7390]

Clipper lighters are amazing as well. Refillable fluid and flint. The flint and roller comes out and can be used as a more direct sparker, if empty. I actually keep the flint section in an altoids kit. Wish they had the aftermarket like Bic though

[@ericdpeerik3928]

Bingo, you're on the money. Clipper is king of lighters.

[@Zoerixx]

No they don't. They rely on static electricity. Epic fail

[@ericdpeerik3928]

@@Zoerixx Clipper is a different producer of lighters . They work on flint and gas. If you need static electricity, you're using them wrong 🤪

[@mrhalfstep]

I like your kit. I second the endorsement for Clipper lighters and if you're going to use Bic, you should choose white. It is visible enough if you drop it and it is the only color that you can see through easily to tell the fluid level. You might look for some videos on making small gear sachets with folded duct tape, in lieu of your tin foil method. I think it's more waterproof.

The "Blaze Orange lighters are hard to locate" LOL

[@gordontyree4308]

Yeah, for sure. Whenever I see the orange BIC lighters, I buy them!

[@CreatedByNoriElan]

Very cool. Thank you. I'm doing this very soon. This is extremely useful and something I've never seen.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dalew515]

Great ideas Tim. Great video!

[@toddkanhai3164]

You were saying for the aquatabs you didn't have a container. Can make a container with aluminum foil. Can boil the water in the Al foil container too.

[@charlessalmond7076]

6x6 is to small. I keep a 12x24" section of heavy duty aluminum foil in my wallet for making a container. Actually I keep two. A 7x6 section is a great fire lay for tinder if the ground is damp/wet.

Zip tie on backward, should hold them together and still be able to take it off and use be able to use the zip tie for something else adding to the kit.

[@thegreyghost2789]

Genius!

[@toolswithtim]

Small tip- if you het the electronic ignition Bic lighters they are basically alreay water resistant, will light even when wet 💦

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

I’d be nervous the battery power would run out, no?

[@toolswithtim]

@@EverydayTacticalVids no batteries required, the name is alittle misleading. They have an ignition like a a cheap gas grill!

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

@@toolswithtim ah nice.

[@Jakoshdw]

Only worry I have about what I'm guessing is a piezoelectric ignition... is that when the lighter is empty it can't still be used to throw sparks into tinder like a flint ignition. True or false?

[@robbithedevilll6604]

True statement: mine has been through a washing machine at least 3 times and lights straight away.

[@RAYANDERS-w4t]

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

You are welcome!

[@hkchris1]

Bright blue. Doesn’t really occur naturally

[@mynameisnobody5462]

Warm weather kit, to much insulation around that lighter , when it's cold your hands warm up the lighter so the thing will light. Still thinking outside the box is a good thing

I put my gear that can be affected by water in a mini dry bag and carry a small spool of bank line so even though I looked at bic mods like this I don’t need it. Not to mention pimping out a $2 bic lighter this way isn’t cheap for what u get it actually seems kinds gimmicky. This is for those that would buy anything related to their hobby $40 plus which will get u some small diameter rope and a small piece of of cheap plastic to slide a bic lighter into and a zipper pull 🤷‍♂️. I guess every company overcharge people especially this in the western world. It’s actually $50 plus with everything else he brought up that wasn’t on his list in the description.

[@papimaximus95]

I don't even use a BIC thumb lighter to light birthday candles or fireworks. Why would I use this in the outdoors? A stick lighter or mini butane torch is IMMENSELY better.

[@splashmoby]

You do you, whatever works. No one is putting a gun to your head here.

[@barrybueler3356]

I’m sure papimaximus will sleep better knowing he won’t have a hole in his head for what kind of lighter he prefers to use phew 😮‍💨 that could have been bad if splashmoby was wrong 😂.

[@ChefRappa]

Bic lighters last way longer than a butane and butane burns things way too fast. I'm going to be lighting fires all month with a Bic while you run out of fluid on day three.

[@papimaximus95]

@@barrybueler3356 I am sure you will sleep better dreaming about how witty you think you are.
