How To Make The Ultimate Survival Pull Pin Firestarter - 2.0 Upgraded Version

[@TsimonF]

I don’t care if I go into a watchlist, this is probably the best instants fire-starter gizmo build for wet and stormy conditions I’ve ever seen

[@Thee-_-Outlier]

Fire starter... incendiary grenade Tomayto....tomahto ...I say let the federal judge decide...after they catch me...using the device safely, appropriately and as an emergency fire starter only. 😉 ..sorry, something in my eye

[@Deontjie]

No, the BFI is too busy looking for quarrels too worry about you.

[@gorillajoe9572]

Bro is slowly becoming the Heisenberg of firestarter making 😅

[@fademusic1980]

literally with those match heads lol

[@joeydurant6267]

Could've done without the sounds on the magnesium though. Now my brain itches.

[@America_Yea]

Likely more true than you realise; this has unknown electrical tape (probably toxic) and cyanacrylate in multiple burning portions though the red phosphorus from the striker is removed that clear glue if cyanacrylate is a carcenogenic compound that aerosolizes when burned. If you know what you are doing removing the starter after the fire is going would make this safer but it likely would still taint the innitial burn materials with cancer causing materials and be extremely unsafe after striking. Strong reccomendation to swap at the very minimum the glue and tape for something safer to burn like masking tape and school glue. Wire wrap would still get the matches tight enough too.

[@PhillipMadden-uk4fy]

I think its intentionally overkill just to show the easy access and bonding of things that go boom😂

[@MikeSpinak]

Excellent. Well done. Rather than mix the sparklers, match heads, and magnesium with clear glue, it might be worth mixing them with pine pitch. I might give this a try.

[@speedyrudolf01]

i was thinking wax, but pine pitch should work too. the glue does inhibit burning a bit.

[@ВалдерЛи]

В далёком детстве в 80-х стружка магния, марганцовка, сера со спичечных головок в определённых пропорциях давала восхитительный результат сделать "бух". И похожие вещи(мы их называли горелки) мы делали, правда в жестяных банках из-под леденцов. Правда это была более громоздкая конструкция чем на видео. Когда мы и уходили в поход, то просто в презерватив убирали коробок спичек и несколько таблеток сухого горючего. А вот такие штуки, чтобы искрили и делали "бах" мы брали с собой для защиты от диких животных. Сейчас есть всякие файеры и петарды.

[@lawrencemartin1113]

Extraordinary coincidence.....I was making some of these to the original spec and while gatherting the elements required, realise that on my work bench, I have collected together virtually every single thing you have just used on the new version! I had even found and old container I have of indoor sparklers!! All before spotting this new video! I have two elements to add and I'm good to go!! 😊👍🏻

[@motorgearhead]

I’ve been using cotton balls saturated in charcoal lighter fluid and dipped in paraffin wax for several years now. They’re easy to make and will burn for about 11 minutes. About the same thing you’re doing minus the pull start sparkler/sugar rock fuel concoction on the tip of your starter. In fact, if you have a reasonably good selling pill bottle, you can put saturated cotton balls of lighter fluid into the pill bottle and not even bother with the wax. I would imagine the lighter fluid may evaporate over a prolonged period of time. About the longest of had these in storage is maybe six or eight weeks and they worked perfectly fine. It’s just the ease of being able to make three of them inside of about 30 seconds.

[@SurvivalSpheres]

great fire starters! but I have an additional idea 1 if you insert calcium carbide into the cotton??? rain water could activate it, producing acetylene and increasing the flame even in more extreme rainy conditions!

Can you make this with strike anywhere matches and sandpaper instead of the strike pad on the side of the box?

[@Malthael2797]

This is honestly really well made and interesting, not sure I'd ever really have a use for these myself but all of the crafting techniques and things are still interesting to watch. I might try a super simple bastardized version of this if anything just for fun, don't do much camping myself. Edit: also wanted to add/ask, do you guys think this might be illegal to travel with? At least in the US the fuel mix he makes here is common in model rocketry and is called a sugar engine I think, the nitrate and sugar mix. This is treated as a low grade explosive though which is fully legal to make but illegal to transport without a certain license. Just a warning in case anyone is curious or doesn't know, I highly doubt you'd get your firestarters inspected or something just on the way to a campsite but just wanted to mention that.

[@thorne79us]

i wouldnt try to put any bags through tsa with these or be wearing any clothes you used to make them near a dog or bomb sniffer lol

[@matteospilotros9971]

i had been using cotton pads soaked with a 50/50 of lighter refill liquid and paraffin wax for the last 4 o 5 years which work very well even in winter ( in finland) and wet..All this process in my opinion is a holliwood special effect which in reality is totally overkill... like shooting a rabbit with a talk cannon.... Useless, but very scenic ...so 10/10 on special effects :)

[@ganymede0204]

I think you can just use masking tape from the beginning. I've seen some people don't like the balloon because it will degrade in the future. What about replacing it with oiled paper + wax or waterproof fiber? Will it work?

What’s the ratios does anyone have a break down or is it a case of suck it and see? I’ve made various fire starters before but these look cool so I’m gathering all my supplies 😊

[@LastBushSurvival]

Hi, thank you for the comment! The ratios are: 1 part of sparklers, 1 part of match heads, 1.5-2 parts of magnesium shavings. There are optional ingredients to add (I deleted this part from the video as I’m not sure YT would like it) 1 part of KNO3, 1/2 part of powdered sugar and 1/2 part of powdered charcoal 👍

Fantastic work

[@LastBushSurvival]

Thank you friend!

[@kenshindoman9757]

Rather than use balloons as a waterproof sheath, why not dip the whole thing into a pot of wax as though you're making a candle? Would give more burn than the balloon and still be waterproof. Great video, really enjoy watching your stuff.

[@SurvivalSpheres]

The tip needs air right after ignition or the flame goes out. The ballon keeps it waterproof but will easily tear when it has to, opening up for the flame. It wouldn’t work like this with a bigger wax coating around the tip. Plus wax will crumble after a while as it is no solid wax body, but soft inside.

...would the petroleum eat its way through the balloon after enough time? i wonder if a barrier is needed for long term storage?

My only complaint is due to the electrical tape, it’s toxic. I would switch out that for more waxed thread, even though it would take much longer to create

[@tonycampbell-wd3cp]

And actual electrical tape will not burn but instead just melt. Adds nothing to the flame. Like the idea of just using waxed thread.

[@LastBushSurvival]

The tape's purpose is to prevent the matches from being soaked in the wax and lighter fluid.
