I just looked it up. Thanks so much for the info my friend👍

@@OpenAirOutdoors The leather may appear to be slightly darker at first but once it's thoroughly dry (takes a few weeks) you'll see that it doesn't darken the leather.

OMG! Ya i kmow where your coming from! Life truely is short!

Its always a good idea not to rely on only onr source👍 Thanks for watching Aubrey✌️

This mine was carved into solid granite! You can escape anything in here! 👍

@OpenAirOutdoors that's awesome. Everyone needs a bunker

Thanks Mark! When i was a kid I explored tons of old logging camps in the Temagamy area. I could not find those places again today is I wanted too! Take care Matk✌️

You're very welcome! God bless you as well Paul✌️

Actually not! Its cold, damp and the ground is covered in sharp blasted rock! But one could certainly wait out the nastiest storm in there! See ya Craig✌️

Thanks its my winter hibernation spot 😆 email me, title it STICKER and I'll send you one 👍 oaoutuber@gmail.com

Ho Dale, I'm noy sure what you mean by "full length" choke. The screw in choke gives you the ability to change your shot pattern to acomadate the type of hunt you are doing. If there is no threaded insert than you have a fixed choke. Thanks for watching✌️

Hey don't feel bad just about everyone missed it!. I did a little testing with TH-cam and it was a lesson lerned! No I never dabled with flint/char cloth I never had a real intrest in it. The fire kit is just another precaution thing that will never hurt having it👍 Thanks Paul✌️

You are very correct Coyote! Be prepared no mater what enviroment your in. Thanks Coyote✌️

It sure is Dan! Thanks ✌️

haha! My father was a pipe smoker and ya, there was crazy flames when he wold light it!

he smoked rock? ​@@OpenAirOutdoors

Ummmm, no!

@OpenAirOutdoors a lighter with high flame is called a crack lighter here in Ga. seen many use them for that purpose

Thanks Tasha✌️

Yes the Zippo butane insert! I don't own one, but anything butane burns extra hot. I would think the butane insert will last longer than the conventional lighter fluid between fill ups. As a tradesman I use butane lighters/mini torches to do electrical repairs (shrink tubing) For outdoor use it is wind proof. However when starting a bundle of tinder you kind of have to get your knuckles right in there if you know what I mean! Hope this helps! Thanks for coming along✌️

Sounds like you know exactly what to do out there in the back country👍 Great stuff! Thanks for coming out and commenting Lukiel✌️

Hi Mark, I did a little testing with TH-cam and I posted 2 vids 15 minutes apart. I lerned not to do that😆 Most folks compltely missed the second video! Yes chico is a french word for dead standing tree. No english translation for it. So a burnt out area in a forest would be full of "chico". The Dubbin wax is still as good as product now as it was then! Take care Mark✌️

Thanks buddy, you as well✌️

I would like to respond by first thanking you for commenting with great points backed up with knowledge and experience! It is refreshing to have an intelligent conversation with someone that can also be objective while being respectful! Some commenters in here could lern from folks like yourself, so thank you so much! Now to add to this discord, As you seen I certainly do carry Bic brand as well. I have both strune about my gear. The hack can cause fluid to spill out excessively and that becomes a dangerouse situation so the flame adjustment has to be done with care hence the long flame duration after button release. I have been made aware of the Clipper brand by a few other commenters and have already looked into them as I am not familiar with the brand. My first impressions is the button seems large and pertrudes far outwards. I would be concerned that it could be depressed just stored away in a pack or pocket. Having that said I do plan to buy some and test/use them to find out for myself. I'm with you about the storm proof matches needing sand paper to strike! The prudent method of use with them is to store them in a sealed waterproof container with sand paper. The great advantage I have had with them is an extended burn time! I have also used them by sticking the match in the dirt upright after lighting and then dump a pile of tinder on top to start my camp fire. The strike anywhere matches apear to be a thing of the past for some reason! I did recently come across a very old can of strike anywhere matches that I estimate to be 40+ years old and I may do a video on testing them out. Maybe revisit the disposible lighters including the Clipper brand at the same time! Thanks for coming along Mr., you certainly are always welcome to hang out @OpenAirOutdoors ✌️

@@OpenAirOutdoors Aw shucks LOL, Thanks for the praise. Do storm proof matches light on sandpaper? It has been my understanding that the material on the striking surface is essential to start a flame on the match, proper. It is a chemical reaction. The strike anywhere matches have the necessary compound on their tips. BTW, you can find the old time strike anywhere matches still, but they are very expensive. They are considered dangerous and can't ship by normal carriers. The "GREEN" strike anywheres are just not as good as the old timers are. I have several boxes of the small Diamond Match Company matches, and I bought them for a pretty penny a little over two years ago. I am trying to find some of those in the large kitchen match version that lit the gas cook stoves in every kitchen I ever visited for the first 50 years of my 70 year life. Every kitchen had a box of them in a metal holder nailed to the wall near the stove. It had a rounded scoop at the bottom to catch the matches as they came out of the box and a slot cut out on each side to make the sandpaper strike strips available for striking. An empty bean can on the stovetop was the home of the burnt matches.

@@OpenAirOutdoors One other thing. If you look closely at a side by side photo of a Bic and a Clipper, you should see that the gas button is situated about the same on both. The shape of the removable striker assembly may be throwing you off. I'm sure you've seen the zip tie hack to disable the button on the Bic. The same can be done to the Clipper.

@@mrhalfstep That may be the case for some brands! The storm proof I have work on fine sand paper. Yes the green tip or no where as good as original strike anywhere but i think you'll strike out finding those extra long matches. I suppose the need for them is all but compltely gone now days!

A translucent lighter gives the ability to prepare for when it runs out of fuel. One must always excercise caution when using any plastic lighters! thanks for watching and commenting Birddogg✌️

As you can see I do cary both! I just really like the see through body and large flame! Thanks for watching Damion✌️

I can honestly say I've never seen that yet! And I'm 56

@OpenAirOutdoors most cheap lighters need to be struck more than once to light, killing the flint. Bics usually light first or second strike. 53, smoked for 37 years.

Living in Alaska you certainly would want to be prepared! Good on you for doing so Jared✌️

Thanks for the info! 😳

Hi Robin, thanks. See you soon✌️

haha! Keep on keepeing on my friend👍

Not sure but you can get that with Bic!

Interesting! I haven't seen an adjustable Bic in 30 years! However it still doesn't change the fact that you cannot see the fuel level on a Bic and prepare for it. Thanks for watching and commenting ✌️

I just did a Google search on Clipper, from another comment saying the same thing. It certainly looks good. But i have an issue with the extra large exposed button. That would be easy for it to de depressed stored away in a pack or pocket. Not sure I would trust it for that reason! Thanks Crashline, appciate the comment✌️

​@@OpenAirOutdoors The torch one can't be depressed easily. Also it really isn't that big. But you do you man! Cheers! :)

Yes I had those at one time! But unfortunately everyone I seen were junkers that would leak out. Everytime I would take it out it was empty! I would'nt mind having one that is dependable! If you have a recomondation on a quality brand that is dependable I would appreciate it👍 Thanks for watching✌️

OK I had to Google Clipper to see for myself. They are nice looking rigs, refillable as well! I did notice something in the design that reminded me of Cricket lighters back in the day and that the button is larg and exposed. It was easy for the button to get press down just being in your pocket. Emptying the lighter and thats unreliable to me! Thanks for watching Thomk✌️

@OpenAirOutdoors yeah the gas button is large, The flint wheel comes out and then the whole button assembly holds the flint so it's all replaceable. Pretty cheap and sweet lighters. I use a lighter leash so the pocket issue isn't a problem for me, but I definitely see what you mean.

Playing with lighters as a kid? Ya you just gave up what generation your from Paul 😂 See you next time✌️

I have to say I have had good luck with them! I just hate not being able to tell when a Bic is about to go out of fuel! Thanks for commenting Mike✌️

Good point! I like that👍 I did not want to strech this video out to much by demonstrating all the uses for a long flame but here are a few examples. When cooking on a camp stove its nice to light it without having to lift off the pot/pan. When lighting a Colman lantern the long flame actually reaches the mantle. Lighting the pilot light on a propane appliance is tricky, the long flame makes than easier! Thanks for wayching and commenting ✌️

hahaha! You most certainly can my friend👍 Personal preference is a luxury you all have! Thanks for comenting Burton✌️

@@OpenAirOutdoors I only say that because I think the fuel will last longer.

haha! Yes that certainly is an option👍

They will all run out of fuel eventually!

Yes, staying on the couch will always keep you safe from bad conditions! The point here is there are options and some may be beter then others. Don't be a troll be respectful.

Any time Tyler🍻

Your giving up your age if you remember the star wheel on a Bic😆 All Bics fail! Hence "disposible" Thanks for watching Dozer✌️

And thanks for coming along Rod✌️

Yes the lighter trick does work on most colours! Thanks for watching Stephen✌️

buy clear ones heh, replied before finishing the vid, he mentions it. But yeah, I couldnt imagine having an opaque lighter, even the ones with graphics have a clear line.

Agreed! Its a must when trecking around the outdoors! Thanks for coming along Ash✌️

Yes that works on alot of colours like even orange but still not as convenient as being able to just see at a glance while using it during camp chores for example! Thanks for checking in Josh✌️

Yes the mini torches work quite well! They arn't as convenient to buy in bundles to toss around all your gear like cheap disposables are. Thanks for watching and commenting✌️

@@OpenAirOutdoors i work outdors and smoke you can easily buy disposable refillable windproof lighters ive used them for years they are pico too and work after been in a washing machine

I was thinking more triple but I don't want to exaggerate.

I'm glad you enjoyed it Shadow! It was a tasty meal 👍 See you next time✌️
