Good stuff... I have been using the cotton ball and vaseline for years. A couple of pointers on preparing and using the balls. It is best to use warmed, liquid, vaseline to fuse with the cotton balls. If that is not available simply rub the ball with vaseline in your hands until warm. When using the balls, take a small piece , each ball will make 6 to 8 fires, pull it apart till it is a fiber ball. This will burn for about 2 minutes and can be lite very easily with a flint and striker.

Not only would this kit be easy to assemble with times we ALL have on hand, but it seems to lend itself to a great deal of variation! For example, if you scale the lighter down to a Bic Mini, you probably *can* use the 1" Gorilla Tape. Clever paracord users can easily create a more complex and useful lanyard in between. The cord can easily be strung through the ring of a Swiss Army knife, the chain of a magnesium striker, or the lid of a match safe carrying the storm matches you've already shown us how to chop up (like an Exotac Matchcap XL). And of course, the advantages of dryer-lint cubes and other tinder have already been stated below.

I went through all 4 of my inner tube bands on my lighter. Finally got the dead pine needles to light. The woods were wet and snow covered. I learned NOT to blow on burning inner tube, like you would other material, to get the fire going. The tube just extinguishes! Just gently place it under the tinder and wait for it to go. I was just on a short hike in my own woods, so I was testing my only lighting method in my pocket. I stayed warm, and nearly fell asleep with a soft pine log as a pillow!
@OoavastoO4 жыл бұрын
A little late to the show so this may have already been mentioned but, if you have used up your last bit of cotton ball, you can also use the "guts" of your length of 550 paracord as a tinder source. Additionally, you could also substitute the 550 for a similar length of jute or hemp twine for the same reason. When "fluffed up", they make fantastic tinder or bird's nest material. Your Ranger Lighter is a great project. Cheap, most items can be found around the house, no special tools required, about 5 minutes "work" and you've effectively doubled your chance of lighting a fire in less-than-ideal conditions than just using the lighter alone. 👍 Cheers and all the best from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦

If you take some of that spongy wood and dig a hole in the soil and put that spongy wood in the hole and cover it up with dirt and build a fire on top of that dirt you will be making "char tender" which will take a spark from flint and steel when recovered from the hole in the soil it will make a hot coal to put in a tender nest or bird nest and be blown into flame.

Made this Ranger lighter and I took it to the next level and used a torch lighter. I also added a sewing needle and some bankline and to the big type lighter and torch. That's how much I liked this idea.
