Really liked this one.

[@satguy27]

Got the notification good sir

[@cfnsRD]

Looking forward to the midweek videos, thank you for everything you do.

[@udrinkit7798]

On my device the length time stamp blocks "ods" on the still so it reads 5 emergency fire starting meth. Lol. Took me for a loop.

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

😊nice. Good skills😊

[@SwiftestTailor]

I used a road flare to start a fire a few years ago when it was completely damp and we did not anticipate the temps being so cold with a 2 year old in tow. It worked lol.

[@stubnannie]

Oh hell yeah, they'll start wet wood. I keep a couple 5 minute ones on hand.

[@SwiftestTailor]

@@roundtracker Nice! I will look it up.

[@yourgodsisspeakingtoyouher4284]

Good call

[@mikeks8181]

Thats what we used to start the camp Bonfire back in the 1990's !Names in a bag and the Winner gets to throw the flare into the fire! Thank You for the Just Remembering Memories!

[@navarrosarah1]

I don't normally comment on videos, but that one with the pool shock and brake fluid was pretty bad ass. Thanks for sharing.

[@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft]

Thanks for the shout out!

[@chrismoore600]

Your channel is outstanding as well both of you guys are great.

[@JO-rk5gu]

Love your channel Andrew, please keep them coming

[@jamman3131]

Corp went Mr. Wizard on us all! Awesome video and information!

[@jameshall4385]

I liked the brake fluid and pool shock. That was awesome. The wire saw and gunpowder was the MacGyver award winner

[@nearlynativenursery8638]

I always appreciate your honesty and straight forwardness. I frequently see you making, doing, crafting new ways of bush crafting which makes it more fun, cool, sweet and enjoyable to us to learn from you. Your items and damn good methodology techniques of achieving your goals are stellar. You even barrow ideas and often improving them with putting your twist on things while you give graciously credit to the original individuals that share their idea with you. That shows your humble honest and kindness personality. I hate what youtube has done to you and others. All the Very Best! Jim Rodgers

[@Xxxero42]

I went into this video figuring I knew MOST of what you were going to do. I was dead wrong. I knew 2 of 5. Hats off to you! Great video!

[@martinhylen]

The quality of your videos have gone through the roof the last couple of weeks! Keep em coming!

[@deceptionsdemise]

I like the 9V battery and steel wool trick. That was awesome.

[@ScottMitchell2]

This was awesome. Finally someone shares some out of the box fire starting ideas

[@shadowlord5574]

I'm always learning something with your video's. Great video corporal 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@lindaswinner3629]

I watch your KZbin over and over to make sure it sticks in my tiny brain. It’s very important to know.

[@DellMoney_]

The pool shock is amazing and the gunpowder metal wire is genius

[@kenemerson1075]

Outstanding AF! Its like you were acting as a cool Science Teacher. Well done as always!

[@v8berenguer372]

To me, this is by far, the best prepper/bushcraft channel in KZbin. Thanks.,👍🇵🇹

[@kristenvincent3622]

Ok, the pool shock and brake fluid would never have crossed my mind. And that was way more effective than I thought it would be… cool.

[@americanpatriotbill]

Pool shock and brake fluid? Awesome AF!!!

[@gordonlawrence1448]

You can use glycerine for softening icing and potassium permanganate for foot baths (highly anti0fungal). too but it takes a lot longer to get going.

[@americanpatriotbill]

@@gordonlawrence1448 chemical reactions are mind blowing

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Great mid-week series Shawn, excellent for beginners! I didn't know about that ping-pong ball hack, so this old timer even learned something!! 😊

[@terryweston566]

Over 55 years ago I was a scouter and never gave a thought to lighting a fire beyond a box of matches or flint and steel, but now much of your instruction is becoming part of today's survival techniques, scout movements and new lifestyles. thank you.

[@donaldparlett7708]

I used 2 forms 1) is potassium pro magnate and glycerin is exothermic 2) calcium carbide and water. The wetting of the calcium creates hydrogen.

[@jeremyj3017]

While stealth camping I will use hand sanitizer to heat water for food or coffee. No visible flame in the day light, no smoke and burns hot

[@josephwallace1938]

You showed me something new today. Who says you can't teach old dog new tricks. Outstanding AF Thank you for midweek video. See ya Sunday

[@MAGUA112]

That intro fire starting was absolutely new and that's was awsome this is what we need new stuff.

[@azkikrx1]

The first 15 seconds of this video already blew my mind.

[@zoisbasis7791]

Never crossed my mind that brake fluid & pool shock could do such a reaction. Thank you corporal for these truly unique ideas 👏👏👏

[@louislapointe9601]

This is by far, the most Kick-Ass video you have done. Keep up the good work. Semper Fi.

[@marvinbrock960]

Oh man! I bet the fumes off the shock and brake fluid was horrendous! Yeah big props to Andrew! That guy is solid! 🇺🇸

[@larryfitzgerald2373]

An excellent video. Another simple trick is to rapidly rub paraffin on sawdust. This creates a simple fire-starter. Then you can use a lighter or Farrell rod to ignite the mixture. BTW: I have made a simple "canned heat" for years by melting paraffin and mixing with sawdust or woodchips. I pour the mixture into an empty tuna (or similar) can. When it hardens, it's a great little "oven." The flame last long enough to cook bacon and eggs and make toast and/or boil water, etc. I make a wire handle and put through two holes on the can lid. When finished with cooking, snuff out the flame with the lid. (Careful: the can and wire will be hot for a while.)

[@NonyaDamnbusiness]

I use 190-proof Everclear in my alcohol stoves. Expensive, yes, but also medicinal and if it ever does leak on my stuff it just evaporates away and doesn't leave a mess. It also doesn't dump a lot of soot on my pots and cups.

[@willduke1656]

Pretty cool vid as always.. was most impressed with the brake fluid trick..

[@debranichols5384]

Oh WOW 😮 I wouldn’t probably have believed that most of these would work unless I saw 👀 it with my own eyes❣️ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, the more you know❣️Thanks 🙏🏻Corporal, I am really glad I got to see this episode for sure❣️🥰

[@jasonhaney108]

Awesome! Loving the mid week video's!

[@johno1057]

Every time I watch you I learn something!!! This video was awsome!!!

[@sw33n3yto00]

Woo Hoo!! A new trick. Didn't know about the pool shock and brake fluid.

[@davidsnoddy4591]

I gotta say CC this weeks midweek is Outstanding AF there was one thing in it I didn’t know until now 👊🏻🙌🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@terryrogers1025]

Thanks, I knew 2 of the 5, never thought about the others, you can bet I will try them out in the future, thanks again.

[@ocho8172]

Fan- tastic! Resourcefulness, real world style! Excellent!

[@werewolf74]

For fun I watched at 2x speed and he is a fire making MACHINE !

[@paulcutting9075]

Great tips. Love the brake fluid and pool shock. Keep a small bag in your car and you can always get the fluid from your vehicle, bingo fire that fights wind/rain and the elements.

[@bsd9230]

Was waiting for the midweek CC vid all week!... cant wait for whats up on Sunday 10am!

[@puppyeyes9368]

For shtf situations. This is amazing information. I love the battey and steel wool. What a great way to start a fire. Thank you for posting this. God Bless Nora

[@valstarkgraf]

Yeah, don't sleep on hand sanitizer as a fire starter generally. It's a good thing to keep around, and one definite advantage it has is that if it's a little windy or wet, you'll have much better luck getting tinder lit with that than otherwise because it gives you a little bit if an edge. Additionally, the alcohol options are a bit more clean burning than chemicals and plastic. Another thing that might be worth trying is alcohol prep pads. They are the same level of alcohol needed for disinfection as hand sanitizer and rubbing alcohol. They are great to have around to disinfect phones and small surfaces, but it's a ready-made saturated pad to take and hold a spark.

[@PapajosTraders]

The hot wire/gunpowder trick was awesome!

[@maryl3301]

You are the MAN!!! Thank you for this advice, for all the videos you make, and for all of your hard work... it is greatly appreciated!

[@bobbydelcavallo7181]

Keep it coming 🥳🥳🥳 As always... absolutely fabulous 🥳🥳🥳

[@bretlemieux2489]

Another awesome vid Corporal thank you for sharing that last one looks like fun honestly

[@chasepetty5659]

Great idea on using those pool chemicals, never would of thought of that one. Thanks for sharing cause I can’t wait to try that one out!👍

[@susanjane4784]

Woh. There's one thing hearing about these and another seeing a demo.

[@Asher3013]

Just found your channel. First. Thank you for your service sir. Second. Keep all videos as is sir. Don't change because it's "popular or the fad". Thank you sir. I have already learned a lot.

[@thomasmusso1147]

👍👍👍 .. a great share. In addition to the extremely useful tips given, another Gem was (to this effect) 'people from urban areas thinking that in a SHTF situation, 'they are going to run out and go survive in the woods'. That fallacy is light years from reality. Many You Tube 'experts' survive on pushing that dream. Household items .. 'stuff' usually kept around the house. Something that should be kept around the house (a Survival Expert from the 70's / 80's) .. the common wooden match .. 'thousands of them'. Properly stored, they can last a very long time. Thanks for sharing .. take care ..

[@davidleasure9138]

Good tips. Especially like the friction heated wire and the pool shock and brake fluid. They were awesome

[@JBDRLSOARK]

Knowledge is power. Good video my friend.

[@tommythuntdeer]

That was awesome Corporal! That’s the first time I’ve ever seen the wire/friction method. Superb video!

[@thehog1440]

Nice new info for camping to start fires thank you corporal

[@EPGunman]

Awesome skills to know!!! Love the pool shock and brake fluid one!!!

[@davidwinters2552]

This old man learned something today!thanks!

[@CalumMacNeil-qb6wp]

Good stuff.very educational.Good to know when your stuck wirhout the normal luxuries. Good video and nice to see you still using the old school A.L.I.C.E.kit. 👍

[@jasongarling20]

Great video! Thanks! And Andrew is awesome! I've followed him from his inception on yt! Great guy!

[@TXPhoenix79]

great urban survival vids. I can imagine this would help most people.

[@oldrican18]

These midweek videos are "outstanding".

[@recall5811]

yet have the worst views in 7 years

[@ferraritrip]

ONE of your BEST Vids - EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ozarkmountaineer3581]

The shock and brake fluid was a new one for me. Awesome! Thanks.

[@maryr8063]

This is one of the best you've done. I learned a lot. Thanks, Shawn

[@michealchartrand1437]

Awesome video! Very informative. I've been watching your videos for years. I just want to say thank you for all the hard work you put in making these videos.

[@marcvanhussen1171]

You have awesome videos… I love the simplicity of your methods and it looks like fun too

[@terryshrives8322]

Excellent Corporal! Another handful of great methods for fire.

[@mlsknnr]

Outstanding as usual. Had completely forgotten about brake fluid and pool shock. Don't forget potassium permanganate and glycerin.

[@stevewood9477]

Thanks for the midweek. Learned a few things I didn't know. Pretty cool AF.

[@mikehenthorn1778]

that brake fluid and pool chemical took me back to a safety brief when i worked in a store. we couldn't have them on the same pallet or next to each other on separate pallets

[@anthonyferrin5785]

Finally a good use for hand sanitizer

[@Georgecobb-s1v]

Another helpful presentation. Closely related to using the hand sanitizer & 70% alcohol is using an Alcohol Prep Pad & igniting it with a welder's Flint Striker. Thanks.

[@papaschuette]

Hey Brother. That last method was pretty ingenious. Definitely outside the box thinking. Semper Fi Corporal.

[@morrisyarnell6083]

These are the kind of things that will eventually come in handy in a pinch. Great knowledge to have.

[@rolandjaeger7310]

I love your videos so informative without fluff

[@3AlarmBushcraft]

Love the different variety video than just overnighters. Like them too but variety is more interesting.

[@chrisbrown-bg4gf]

Thank you for this video! You gave me options I have overlooked.

[@steveknapp3301]

Petroleum jelly n cotton balls both are common in most homes and makes a good firestarter,

[@deekelley891]

I use mineral oil and cotton balls.

[@norabrooks5163]

Really enjoying these mid week video lessons. 👏👌

[@sleazy1drache]

Practical no nonsense skills.... the trademark of the corporal 😊 Thanks for sharing!

[@juanfransisco6231]

Outstanding!! I learned 2 new ways to start a fire!! Knowledge is power and you’re sharing a lot of it. I will reach these to my son. Thank you

[@bdawson6473]

This was one of my favorites. I've never thought of igniting gunpowder this way or using a ping pong ball to prolong the starter.

[@grayfoxoutdooradventures]

I was gonna say, I thought I saw Andrew use that method a few months back. Outstanding AF 😎

[@benzandstra6944]

All 5 were new to me -- well done, Corporal.

[@sirprepsalot6268]

Good Morning CPL… now that was very educational as are all of your videos. Thank You 🙏🏽

[@Blackbart5118]

This was very interesting. I knew about some of these methods of starting a fire, but also learned a few new techniques.

[@paulharding1621]

I’m 6 mins or so in and absolutely loving this. Great one CC.

[@DanielleVR]

That was very educative.. 😊 never thought you could make fire with those items.. thanks for sharing and the afford ❤

[@aaronostendorf9060]

Thanks for the info. Some I knew of some I didn't.

[@l.a.3887]

Thanks for sharing 👍great ideas

[@ljh45s]

Very good on this week show learn something this week , thanks again, keep them comming ,

[@billyharrison602]

Thanks for the mid week update

[@wolfman8838]

As an AD E5, I love teaching my joes shit like this in the field. I've done a Bivy fire with gunpowder before but never with the wire. Thats fantastic!

[@DconBlueZ]

Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!

[@ragnobash]

Well Top, I've done Friction welding for years. Never thought to use it on a piece of wire to start a fire. Thanks for the tip!!

[@jules01760]

Great video Shawn!

[@irenekangaspoling5866]

I think this video is amazing keep them coming love 💗 from Ohio Irene and god bless

[@anneliseolsen6896]

I think we learned the 9V battery + steel wool version when I was a Scout as a kid. As well as the bow-drill you've shown in previous videos. For when our matches were wet, or if it was too windy to use them. We also learned the "roll up strips of newspaper and dip them in candle wax", to have waterproofed tinder in our kits.

[@lanceking769]

I salute you sir. Lighting that fatwood with the hot cable saw was awesome

[@patrickgreen2361]

Awesome “how to” video. Would love a video dedicated to urban survival.
