Survival Skills: The Best Tinder for Starting a Fire

[@pjb2528]

Thank you Kevin. I never leave home without belly button lint. It's a manmade tinder, that works the best.

[@Jerry-l5i4x]

😂😂😂 too funny!!

[@TracyMangold]

We also use to collect cattail fluff and keep it in a plastic bag for when we needed it. Works really well too.

[@timmanion7459]

When I'm out hunting I always look for hunks of dried pitch on trees . Just break that off and it works really good . Also, dryer lint.just put some in a baggie and put it in your kit . Just a couple that I use .

[@stevep7608]

Rub some Vaseline in it and it burns a lot longer.

[@timmanion7459]

@@stevep7608 You're referring to the dryer lint ? If so , I was taught that trick sometime back in my training , but to do it with cotton . I'd do it with the lint but I've never had a problem getting lint started. Thanx tho. I always appreciate good advice. Best to ya bro.

[@stevep7608]

@@timmanion7459 Works with cotton too. As well as undercoat from a dog.

[@jfalken86]

I like the inner-tube idea. Guitar picks made from nitrocellulose make great starters as well.

[@Red_Proton]

Great video! My fire kit(s) has ignition sources and accelerants. Accelerants I carry are: petroleum jelly, hand sanitizer, bicycle inner tube, and trioxane (and HEET if I have an alcohol stove). I also carry candles, like small birthday candles, to save the fuel of my ignition sources.

[@raymondruz9634]

This man has so much Knowledge. Real deal

[@septor-og6hi]

I like to carry some dryer lint in my pack for this.

[@fritzd2116]

This! Excellent tinder.

[@AuthorMiracles_on_a_Rooftop]

Dryer lint works amazing with starting fires. I carry it too. So simple and fast.

[@timholtzen826]

Same I use an old dip can

[@dannymilesisbelljr8643]

Hallelujah brother. My old lady saves all our dryer lint.

[@RyanMarcyesOutdoors]

@@timholtzen826 pretty good idea for a dip can. I quite dipping like 14 years ago

[@briangrant2005]

I typically carry a few contingencies for tinder, but this is awesome info for the beginner survivalist! Was planning on a walkabout tomorrow, and now I have a side mission to attempt. Thanks, Kevin!

[@exposereligionofwar8895]

Thanks Kevin. As an old towny all my life you've taught me lots in video. Paler leaves been bleached by the sun for longer so bound to be drier. Alcohol hand sanitiser & vaseline on cloth too with their alcohol content. No BS true demos especially good. Cheers!. . David

[@craigrobertson6082]

Great instruction and explanation.

[@boharris8179]

I do the Altoids can full of charcoal and pine resin with a ferro rod. Collect pine sap and melt it on a double boiler then pour it in the can n let the charcoal soak it up. Thing will start dozens of fires and burns like napalm

[@randyk2232]

Excellent video Kevin, thank you for the detailed content! Very helpful! ✌️🤙

[@mikelychock0310]

Awesome vid, brother! You know how I love carrying premade tinder!

[@Flores1835]

Camping tonight been raining all weekend so it should be interesting!

[@Flores1835]

So camping went great weather man called for three days of rain bearly got drizzle in the morning each day. Awesome time with the fam. Packed all the rain gear and never had to use it. Don't let weather forcasts alter your plans just prep for it!

[@Victor-hb4hj]

Thank you Kevin.

[@nmelkhunter1]

Great video! Simplicity in a survival situation leads to success.

[@RyanMarcyesOutdoors]

Awesome, Love it Bro. I personally collect my dryer lint put in a sandwich bag and carry in my vehicles. Need to get a good rod and knife.

[@marzcapone9939]

Jute twine soaked in paraffin wax works like a match, or fluff it up and it will burn hotter and faster.

[@codymcginnis8448]

You guys make the best content. You should try to get your own streaming service for the awesome content you create. Would 100% subscribe

[@igoryanga]

Thanks! Really useful. Waiting for other vids

MAGNESIUM ... IVE GOT TONS FOR 'RE-L0ADS' AND FIRE STARTER

[@dannymilesisbelljr8643]

I cant believe nobody has mentioned "rich-lighter pine".

[@Jerry-l5i4x]

Ikr, I carry it every single day

[@Schedule1ne315]

Hand sanitizer works wonders as well and great for first aid

[@SPARTANSIX-1]

Cut up a cotton web belt, soak it in lighter fluid and seal it in paraffin wax. Great tinder and burns a long time.

[@sa-amirel-hayeed699]

Will try, thanks!

[@johnmacri7440]

Thanks Mike always great content

[@hoosiered471]

Informative video. Thanks!!!

[@wylecuplin3044]

Great information 👍

[@joeyjones9041]

Fatwood and birch bark are the best natural tinders

[@nicholasscholten4838]

Had to order that firerod from your site.

[@dusty7264]

Tampons work great a there packaging makes them pretty waterproof

[@shekharmoona544]

I miss the SOG pentagon (fixed) in all black. I kept telling myself I'll get one then put it off till they stopped production.

[@peteperkins3859]

Steel wool works great also.

[@jasonmunday9056]

very cool

[@wyattbrown5916]

[@josiahb55]

[@Renman78]

What watch are you rocking?

[@CoreHockey19]

Duct tape works great as well!

[@traveler7249]

Fire Starting??? I saw Tinder and thought girls... -- Not really, but good video and info.

[@AKlover]

Use dryer lint.

[@shadythereok]

I bought a 45# box of fat wood from LL Bean A lot of companies sell fat wood by the box 10 pounds and up

[@revans4774]

Grab some corn chip if they don’t work you can eat said shit . It’s like food but not really 🤣

[@Ripper7620]

Tactical Tinder. 😆... sorry, I'll just get my coat then.

[@TodaysAmericanCowboy]

[@RadDadisRad]

I asked my wife if I could have Tinder and she asked me if I wanted a divorce.

[@ncq3]

I have Tinder premium

[@doriangray2347]

Most of your viewers like Grinder, not Tinder.

[@bjornnilsson8496]

Fatwood.

[@johnqpublic2718]

Insert opinion here:

[@shanelen]

and try not to burn the damn forest down

[@MrKernkraft4000]

Nothing with an empty toilet paper roll stuffed with dryer lint.

[@jesussavesus2210]

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. This life isn't all there is, and time to be saved is running out. If you are not born again, call on Jesus Christ today. If you will ask Jesus Christ with a genuine heart to please forgive all your sins and come into your heart and please save you, he will save you and you will soon know how real he is. God bless.

[@sparrowflying864]

Asking Jesus in your heart does nothing. You have to repent by going to the river confessing your sins and taking John's baptism of repentance according to Acts2:38. That's repenting.

[@jesussavesus2210]

@@sparrowflying864 I'm not going to argue about this, as I am taking from personal experience. And got saved and baptised by the Holy Ghost over 4 years ago. Do you really think God is not going to save someone who cries out to him with a genuine heart, because they don't have anyone to baptise them, obviously not.
