Survival Lighter made better!!

[@BBQDad463]

Thank you for this video. That Bic-and-lip-balm rig is pretty nifty. I need to make a few. Subscribed. Whenever I go into the woods, I take a comprehensive fire kit. The key component is a 30-minute road flare. This is because, when and if I _need_ a fire, I may be in a tough situation. Hypothermia can sneak up on us. In mere minutes, one's hands can become stiff and insensitive---manual dexterity and fine motor skills are out the window. Shivering soon ensues. The use of small items becomes all but impossible. The road flare can be lit by almost anyone under almost any conditions. Once the flare is lit, one has five minutes to thaw one's fingers, ten minutes to gather kindling and firewood, and fifteen minutes to get the fire lit. That is more than I can say for almost any other method of making fire.

Thank you for a helpful presentation. It is easy togo gear crazy and skip over important basics, like fire. We began a regular family practice session with our young troops. Collecting limbs around our subdivision, processing the wood and building different fire lays. Our sessions often end with a BBQ over the small hollow block fire pit we constructed at the front of our carport. We like the positive attitude our young ones have developed in that they decided to NOT be victims but survivors in emergency situations. While all of them possess some level of skills, we believe it is important to review and practice. We are thinking your videos will be of benefit and there will be some great tips along the way.

May as well put a loop or two in the rope and make the rope something like a sisal rope twine. fuel/wax treat it then you also have the fire extension like a sailors lighter. and put cotton balls in the top of the chap stick.

[@GrimnirReaper]

I personally got one of those cheap translucent Bic cases with a flip up lid from Aliexpress and have the majority of the tape around that. Around the chapstick just enough to hold the paracord in place. That way, the lighter stays waterproof and I don't have to throw away the whole setup when one of the two things is spent.

[@Arkansassurvival]

That’s a good idea also

[@deegenna8310]

Replace the cordage (paracord ?) With jute cord about 8mm diameter....you then have a long burning wick to save the has/fuel in your lighter.....Good video 😊😊

[@Arkansassurvival]

Yeah not a bad idea

[@cfox39]

You can take the bottom off the empty lighter, and it with the Vaseline and cotton balls as well.

[@6436brian]

Bic lighter almost useless if you have windy conditions

[@RedRookForge]

lighting a bic in the wind is just another skill to master

[@stevepointer4612]
