Lighters Can Still Make Fire When Empty, Wet, Or Empty and Wet

** It's a month later and I wanted to add these comments... It occurs to me that I made this technique look very dangerous to the index finger. I get caught up in trying to make a difficult session work and don't realize that you're probably saying, I ain't gonna burn myself with this technique. Yes, I am well aware of the other technique where you slowly grind off and collect up the flint particles and then ignite the pile to ignite the tinder, but I think my way is quicker and easier. AND, it's not as dangerous to the finger as I made it look here. Check out my video called Igniting 12ish Different Tinders with a spent BIC, LINK below, and you'll see a safer representation of this technique.**
I've already shown you how to make fire with an empty lighter and also with a wet lighter. Today, we make fire with an empty wet lighter... annnd redemonstrate the first two also.
Topics of interest: How to utilize the mini ferro rod in an empty lighter, How to recover a wet lighter, Scraping fatwood with the Mora's spine, How to easily remove a lighter's guards, How to replace a lighter's guard.
Two other things I want you to know about today's video. Although it looks like I set my index finger on fire 4 times, I did not injure it in any way. Secondly, please don't get the idea that scraped fatwood is the only tinder that works with these techniques. All tinders that are highly processed will work. See the video below that proves it...

Thank you. I was camping and only had one lighter that didn’t work. I showed my family how to do it by watching your video and now I’m apparently a genius.

Me too

[@estadounidensemexfortuna4481]

I wonder if tweekrs know this? Sure is good information to know when you're definately out of lighter.

[@BrandonCurryChannel]

I have a method for you to try using a lighter that's out of fuel and a piece of paper. I usually have an old receipt or something in my wallet. Slowly turn the wheel (without making sparks) to produce powdered "flint". Tap it out onto the paper and repeat until you have a small pile and then use the lighter to make a spark to ignite the pile which will in turn ignite the paper. Good luck.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I noticed recently that KZbin has lots of videos using the method you described. I think my way is better, but thanks anyway.

[@miguelmoronta6871]

David West definitely isn’t, you were repeatedly burning your finger for no reason as it’d go out quickly, and needed multiple attempts. Also takes more time and more effort, as the flint power method doesn’t even need guard removal. Just turn it slowly for a minute, turn upside down, and tap the side. Spark the power once and it light paper without fail.

Anybody else trynna light a wood rn 😂

[@riyanthomas3277]

Thank you very much, David

[@russellgripp8882]

Do you think a piece of punk wood would work as an insulator for the index finger from the fat wood ignition?

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Because the plastic is so slippery, one needs to use a bare finger. Other tinders don't stick to the finger like fatwood.

[@debbieweightman455]

Fantastic!

Once marshal law hits and the corona virus becomes out of hand this will be very useful to me. Thank you
