So I went duck hunting this morning, had to get up early so I uploaded this while I slept and published it at around 4am PST. After I hunting, I noticed all the comments that referenced "behind the scenes footage"...I was thinking "what behind the scenes footage?" when I finally had a minute to play the video and realized the wrong footage saved from the edit and was uploaded. Here is the REAL video that was meant to be released this morning. I promise I am a better woodsman than a KZbinr. Thanks again for all your views, likes, comments, and especially shares and for everything you do to support us here at the GBGB channel!

Christopher Kavanaugh we did not. It was a great day of hunting but we only have three ducks to show for it. The wife is waiting for the hunting knife I am testing to get back from Alaska and she will do a duck processing video for the channel. I am headed out for a 10-day hunt in the morning so she has the wheel.

3 years later he's still helping everyone. You just saved my special raptors lighter

[@CorsairTrainers]

Good info! As an experienced BIC lighter user (smoker), I would add pulling the silver guard off. Blow the water away or use your shirt to get the water off. Put the guard back on then roll it.

[@LJayyBeh]

Left my lighter outside by accident and we had a whole storm last night. Didn't realize it was out there until I looked out the window this afternoon lol. Common sense told me to dry the lighter and shake it like what you did in the video, but what I didn't do was remove that guard. I did that, dried it, and I got a spark, but no flame. So I thought that maybe some water mixed in with the fuel. After a few clicks, it came back on like nothing ever happened. This video was helpful. Thanks man

[@ginanotafan1039]

3:57 a.m., smoking a bowl, you saved me azz, ty!! I can't believe this worked!!💜✨

I’m stoned rn and dropped my lighter in the bong. This saved me from having to get one from the shop lol

[@katlockhart7475]

Thank you for making this video it helped me

[@paulthomas6537]

At 1:22 pry the band (it's for child safety) from the split joining metal where the flame comes from. You split those two apart and the band just falls right out. From that direction you can use just about anything to get the band off.

[@malcolm9083]

Thank you so much I dropped it in the lake on my camping trip

[@cristianmoreno3044]

Brooooo I didn’t think it would work but it did!!! This guy is a genius

[@andrei2023iareu]

Good to have you back bro!

[@rollins4484]

Bring a cup of rice, half a cup is a meal without some meat, but you can also use it to absorb moisture from lighters and electronics, multiple redundancies.

[@truetrilll]

Thank you ...bless you❤

[@michellekozaczok8201]

This just work for me. Perfectly. On a lighter that was left out in the pouring rain overnight (and most of the next day). Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@hurmzz]

Did a comparison once between a rotary and a piëzo lighter. Fully submerged and shaken to get the air bubbles out. After the shaking and blowing technique the piëzo allready worked, so I preferred that. Both actually because Bic’s are usually of way higher quality. But I didn’t use cotton on the rotary, just jeans. Will have to retry after seeing this. Great video!

[@eddiewitchcraft6574]

You're a life saver, thank you 💪🤘🤙😀

[@dmw4798]

I was just smoking weed right and I thought that I dropped my lighter in the creek so I got up to see if I did and then it actually fell in the creek you just saved my life thank you

[@junowilson4992]

Great knowledge, I always take off the metal safety piece from bics lighters too. When I do it I take a small flathead screwdriver from a swiss army knife and bend the two little metal tabs that are holding the safety in place upward, and then pull it out. Then I bend the two tabs back down flat. Makes it much easier for me to pull the safety out

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

Good tip, I need to pay closer attention to how it’s fastened and not just monkey it off

[@jeffnotti9932]

Double shot.. now we know your process.. thanks for all the tips including the correct lighter treatment. J

[@badbadbob1]

Great information as always.
