I love the clever pocket and secret ingredient techniques. Thanks!

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Thanks. Theses have a nice burn time to them with the added fatwood shavings. They sure aid in obtaining a fire when the wood is a little on the wet side. Being well prepared makes all the difference in one success. Thanks for dropping in, hope you drop by again.

Great idea! BUT 38 minutes to describe a 10 to 12 minute process. Good thing I'm patient. Most days I would never last to the end.

I make these as well not with the fat wood though, I was thinking magnesium shaving then the remaining process you did...fat wood was brilliant though, I give credit where credit is do, mine are the makeup pads and just dipped in wax, but now you got me rethinking the process....these are a favorite with my friends, I use them during our Bushcraft weekend get togethers, they are constantly asking me where I'm getting them and they never believe their home made...oh well. Great video my friend keep up the awesome work

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Thank you very much Jeffrey. I think magnesium may work, but might burn fast. I know that the fatwood sure burns nice and hot. It's great to share them with friends on an outing. Pack a few with both and let me know how it went my friend.

Thanks Kat. Easy to make, great burn time. Just don't giveaway any of my secrets! 🤣

[@KatInTheNorth]

@@danielcharbonneau222 hahaha 🤐

[@YouTuber-mc2el]

I'm thinking that if you get both the PJ and wax as cool as possible but still liquid more product will adhere. More product = longer burntime. Good idea stuffing the pads. I've done a lot of trials myself. One additive that works real well is parrafin lamp oil. Also use parrafin wax. The more petroleum product you can insert the better overall. Thanks for sharing.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Thank you very much for dropping in. You gave me a lot of good ideas, THANKS, I'll give them a go! Have yourself a great day.

[@smsgtbulldog]

Well done Sir!!!

[@michaelbrunner6654]

I've made them before minus the Fatwood shavings. Great idea. Love that knife. Fatwood made a big difference

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Thanks Michael. When I pulled the cotton pad apart to see how I'm going to fluff it up for a spark it just created a pocket, so I thought about it for a bit and decided to fill it with the fatwood LOL I think it turned out great, long burn time. The knife is a Puukko knife design from a company named Joker out of Spain, called the Grandfather. Great knife. Amazon are now selling Joker knives, I have eight of them to date. If you want to see them just let me know.

Now that's a ferro rod,🔥

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Yep, it will last me a while, that's for sure. LOL

[@BenjaminVestergaard]

For simplicity I make my wax pads only soaked in wax, pack them with an equal amount of dry pads. One fluffed drypad easily ignites a waxpad. The pads are such a convenient format, compact and easy to dry-pack in smaller ziplocks. Then I keep a small vaseline and a couple of fatwood sticks separately, for more difficult situations. A wax pad easily burns long and hot enough to ignite next level of kindling.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Yes you got that right. Simplicity works. I just made these so that on the wettest and coldest times I wouldn't struggle as much in getting a fire started, again its all about the work in gathering the best materials for your fire. I just seem to overthink things sometimes. LOL thanks for dropping in and leaving your comment.

[@johnwalls4579]

Great idea. What if you used a box grader to Grind your fat wood down? It would speed it up a lot. And what if you used a stick of fat wood? And cut them into say silver dollar sizes and stuff them down in there.piece of Solid wood would burn for a lot longer. Just a thought.but I love your idea

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Thanks John. All great ideas. Yes I did get myself a yellow box grader for my Fatwood. Silver dollar size Fatwood would be a good addition to your steps in fire making and maintaining.

[@NathansFerroceriumrods1]

The one with fatwood just keeps on going.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

I know it was crazy. If it wasn't so windy it may of lasted a minute more. LOL

[@danforthrhodes8960]

I liked the video and didn't think too long winded. I thinking explaining things clearly is great, especially if a novice is watching. I have two suggestions that will maybe save time and also boost efficiency. I recommend using 2 padded that will be sandwiched together rather than one pad with a pocket. First step is place a dry pad on wax papper or whatever surface you prefer. Second, add some inexpensivs pine pet bedding on the center of the dry pad but not completely covering the dry pad. Third step is sloak one pad completely in the Vaseline / wax mixture and lay on top of the dry pad. Then pat down on the pad to "seal" the edges with a popsicle stick to keep the pine pet bedding in between the two bads. It doesn't need to seal perfectly. Let everything dry and test before continuing. Sandwiching the pine in between the 2 pads will save time instead trying to delicately putting the pine in small pockets. Also having one dry pay and one soaked pad sandwiched together will give to bonus of using the dry pad's fibers to help catch eparks more easily while still having the opposite soaked side to use if necessary. The second suggestion is to add a small ratio of liquid parafin lamp oil to the mixture to boost the mixture OR you can soak the pine bedding in the liquid paraffin before doing step #2. The paraffin will boost the pine bedding.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Two excellent ideas for sure. I never thought of the pine pet bedding, I like it. The liquid parafin lamp oil was one idea that a subscriber mentioned to me in another video a while back, I'll be trying that as well. Double pads will make things go a little quicker, thanks! I do know I can get long winded, its just me. LOL thanks for dropping by.

I’ve always mixed my petroleum jelly and wax together 50/50. Melt the wax and then add the melted jelly always seamed to work very well I will have to try stuffing them with fat wood. I have seen where they mix the wood wax and jelly altogether and then dip they seem to work well also

That is some real nice bacon and your fire starters are a lot like the ones I make….I’ve been testing different ways to make them but never thought to put the maya dust in the pocket…I was sprinkling it on top…. Petroleum jelly and parrafin wax are great together and a lot cleaner to do. Good one my friend…ima borrow your idea. I have used magnesium shavings as well. Thanks so much. Take care and God bless.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Thanks Nikki. Yes this idea worked out good, excellent burn time. Magnesium shavings sprinkled on top, that too is a great idea. Great item for a fire kit.

[@welty69]

That’s a good idea… You can also add some magnesium shavings, and some road flare dust… It will keep that thing burning, extremely hot, and in any amount of wind that will not go out

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Yeah you got that right. Them items would sure make for a hot flame.

[@hectorcalderon3011]

I make mine this way also but I dip the fat wood in vegetable oil then do everything else the way you do it. I have made some without vegetable oil they burn a few seconds longer with oil. I have also made some with a small piece of duct tape inside.

[@crerar01]

What wax did you use? Would golf wax be as good?

[@danielcharbonneau222]

When I go to yard sales or where every, I look for wax candles for no cost, free. I bring everything home and place them in bunches and wrap them with plastic wrap and keep them for these kinds of projects. To me wax is wax, except for beeswax, that's a special wax, I keep that for other projects, such as waxed canvas work.
