Vaseline and dryer lint works great too

[@Mandalore06]

Even cheaper. I love it!

[@prb9013]

Good to know Nick Nolte is a prepper! 👍

[@StabbinJoeScarborough]

They let him out of rehab to film this !

[@jderekwilliams]

LOL

[@bluejeans8001]

Nolte isn’t has humorous as Alan.

[@castacasta6619]

“Vlad” is hilarious. Thanks for the video.

[@jderekwilliams]

I've missed seeing new videos with Alan. He's hilarious....and incredibly knowledgeable.

[@bandaid18d420]

I’ve started using cheap triple antibiotic ointment. Burns just like vasoline but serves secondary purpose as first aid if needed.

[@TUKByV]

Killer idea!

[@myrealname2022]

Just as a secondary option for bigger fire tinders get milkshake straws. Heavy wall and at least twice the diameter of the little soda straws. Or if you need a super sugar buzz to make all of these get the giant pixie sticks with the plastic tubes and slam that sugary goodness and ride that buzz to make a butt load of fire starters.

[@BobbyMeeks]

I now totally want a pixie stick

[@redfaux74]

Jason and Alan (from On 3) have really revived Survival Dispatch for me. There's nothing more entertaining than 2 manly guys and a full tub of Vaseline doing survival crafts alone in the woods. 🧐 I'm sure there's a better way to say that but..... it escapes me. Their humor, skills and simple application are top notch. 🤣

[@Q-BinTom]

Good to see Mr. K back in the mix.......

[@harpjason208]

I cut the tip off and only use a small amount of what is in the tube. Reseal it for the next time you need it. You can start multiple fires with on tab that size. Thanks for the tips.

[@aleisterbroley900]

@@SurvivalDispatch well, it probably was until he cut it off... Thanks,. I'm here all week!

[@spartan68w68]

Glad to see Alan is good 🤙

[@henryvandeventer2457]

Been making these for years. Waterproof and cheap. I use makeup pads and I add finely scraped fat wood and magnesium from a scraped Coleman fire starter. Pull open the makeup pad so it folds open like a book, smear vaseline and then sprinkle the fat wood/magnesium mix and fold closed again. Works a charm and extends the burn time by a fair bit.

[@NikiY]

Alan's back! Rocking the Santa look too! Great to see a non-product focused video too!

[@THENEWWRANGLER]

I just made about 10 of them, dodn’t have any wide enough straws just really thin ones . So i used heat shrink tubes clear they work about the same .. tested a couple out in the cold wind and rain and wow they burn for a while a took a spark like big time .. I shoved a few in every one of my little EDC kits Wazzu survival belt knife sheath wallet.. Great emergency fire starter back up absolutely I prefer to use natural tinder but in bad weather these things are awesome

[@jt-xn8bw]

Very cool video,loved the blanket humor

[@StabbinJoeScarborough]

Pretty funny , keep the humor coming , its refreshing I'm making myself a fire kit this week

@@SurvivalDispatch Yessir! Have a great one! Small chance of a white Christmas up there I hear.

[@ColbyJoe]

Yeah, been making those for quite a few years now, just FYI, cops will think they're drugs... I know from experience.

[@Mtlk77]

Santaaaa!

[@wjf213]

Good video. If you have a small piece of tin foil, you can cut the end of the straw and pull out a small piece of cotton through a hole in the foil and make a small candle, and it will burn a LONG time, but with a smaller candle or lighter type flame, but still it's fire, and you can blow it out and reuse it. Just make the straw a little longer and pack in a small piece of foil with the cotton ball. Keep up the great work.

[@michaelwalker5042]

The accent was killer, lol so hard ty.

[@sportsmobile8328]

That is exactly how I make my fire starters. They work great.

[@urbanjungle9600]

Wow you had Moses on the channel !

[@walkerone9833]

Been using these for some time now. Plastic straws are becoming a rare item. Also, where available, these straws can come in a wider width making it easier to stuff even more cotton into them. May be labeled as "jumbo straws". Worth it to try for them. Thanks guys!

[@Hermit_of_the_Holler]

Pixie sticks come in EXTRA large strawlike tubes...work great

[@Eric-ew8jt]

Nice to see Nick Nolte! It’s been a while

[@fatbeard8072]

Great idea with the straw, weather proof and the straw itself is flammable. Going to make a few dozens of these to add to all my prepps and edc. Plus it is a lof easier to handle and less messy.

[@MokuNui808]

Another idea is to use milkshake straws that have a wider inner diameter and there by offering up more space for possibly a full cotton ball!

[@bvanhulst]

I have made these for my kids for quite some time. They are easy and less mess for the kids. We have used smoothie straws to allow for a little thicker straw.

[@douglarson1839]

Works great..I've been using that set up for about 9 yrs now

[@toml.8210]

You can also get paper straws. It's used for candy. Also I would suggest a small nail or a "shishkabob stick" for the ramrod. Fill a long straw with lots of cotton balls, then cut off a piece for tinder. Or, just make many smallers pieces. BTW- The Vaseline isn't what burns, the liquid and vaporized petroleum is what really burns, just like a candle.

[@diannaharrison5931]

i made them for my kids and grandkids 2 Christmases ago. but I didn't think to use a toothpick. Man did it take a long time so twist and scootch the cotton into the straw. You have a much better idea!!!

[@andygrew4832]

Great idea, gonna make a handful. In a pinch I have cut short lengths of synthetic shoelace to start fires. Works very well in a pinch.

[@stijn2472]

Great video. Just unfortunate that those traws are going to be made illegal for sale here in the EU in 13 days...

[@c103110a]

Ive done the same thing with straws, placing seasoning, sometimes pellets for an air rifle (depending on the size of the straw). 22 cal bullets fit in Jack in the Box straws LOL. Just saying

[@ultrasaltydawg8472]

I'm 100% sold...Great video, thanks

[@TinyTitan50]

I’ve had some of those in my EDC and my pack for a couple of years. The toothpick is a great idea, better than what I used. Never had to use them yet, thank goodness. Great video

[@bravo6565]

Funny and great info

[@expertadvice4u]

Little bulkier but I love lint filled eggshells cover it with candle wax.

[@shieldmaiden4857]

Great info 👍 I am going to make not only myself several but also my children. These will work great for our camping & River trips. Also for bobs and any emergency kits.

[@matthewclarke6624]

Just love the content you two put out. And your sense of humour and chemistry is off the charts. I been unexpectedly laughing out loud in a number of your videos. Keep up the good work 👍

[@xearianmagus]

Thanks for the video. It's a whole other step, but I've seen people heat up the Vaseline and soak the cotton to get it saturated. It would have more burn time than just massaging it in. I've also seen a version using cotton rounds soaked in Vaseline and coated with paraffin. Not as easy to pack as this version but it works great.

[@timmccarver4121]

Appreciate the humor and the information!

[@thaddeusmikolajczyk9055]

Good tip and video.

[@Lettusfarm]

Amazing. Such a great idea 💡

[@annabarone9956]

[@rinaatienza2554]

Awesome russian accent, he can play as a villain with his matching facial hair. I made some before but I used the boba straw because they're bigger but in my original edc pack, I made the smaller straw.

[@glenray7464]

Box of jumbo straws make loading them less of a pain.

[@Hermit_of_the_Holler]

Video popped up in my feed, which is great. Reminded me to check on the fire pods I made last year (dozens while listening to podcast). Still viable! Thanks

Fun to watch and interesting! 👍🌻🌻

[@ksg-knowledgeskillsgear]

Love the PJ Cotton balls! I store these in those little pill bags you can get at any pharmacy - they fit nice just about anywhere.

[@chrystalbliske4219]

Good piece of information to have. Need to teach my daughter this, she plans on hiking the Appalachia trail in a few years then joining the army maybe. These will work in wet conditions better than my homemade fire starters since they're water proof with longer burn time

[@richardnichols1392]

Good one fellas !

[@kevinmurphy65]

Dryer lint is also really good.

[@hemanttripathi3175]

[@Jay2984]

Dryer lint. It’s free and works great.

[@Allofthemonkeys]

I like using disposable smoothie straws, can pack some more into it.

[@Robmancan1987]

I like to buy the small rubber bicycle inner tubes at Walmart and cut them into strips and then slide the strips over all my bic lighters. Burning rubber isn't environmentally friendly but it can get wet and still burn hot and for a long period.

[@luckylarry5112]

Ron Hood did these years ago. I love using the old large Mcdonalds vinyl straws, the best.

[@arstrahan]

Save the dryer lint and egg cartons. Put dryer lint in each recession in carton. Melt candle wax onto the lint. Use one of those big fat candles. Strike a spark onto the lint and see how fast it lights and how long it burns.

[@justinstevens2032]

I just use dryer lent and bacon grease.

[@michaelzammit9384]

[@ShihabdeentheCyclist]

You can use a soda cans for melting vesline and soak cotton in it

Vasaline is so good

[@usp.4073]

Didn’t wait for the compressor to recycle. When the compressor starts, that’s is when the biggest draw. Would have liked to have seen that demonstrated.

Gonna give this a try. I was lazy and just put cotton balls and petrolium jelly into a double ziplock bag. Like your method much better.

[@deviantsemicolon618]

This is great, but I’d never be able to use this in Boy Scouts. They have quite a few reservations about burning anything made of plastic.

[@middknightdream1577]

You can buy the paper straws and dip them in wax and seal the ends with wax. You can also wrap cotton balls and vaseline in regular paper or make a miniature envelope and then wax dip it for the same effect. Not only will it be waterproof, but also recycled material as well as Eco friendly.
