What i do that is less work is use a drill bit and a tin to catch the shaving. A full tin in seconds. I use a half inch flat bit and an altoids tin. I have a twelve volt dewalt drill and i go slow with it. Fare easier. Less chance of getting hurt. But a pencil sharpener is a good idea.
@@66bigbuds no i harvest the fat wood and bring it home. If i was to bring a drill bit into the woods. I would use a ratchet screw driver like i do for birch sap colection. So i geuss i do after all. No i chop or cut a knot out where the sap has collected the most. Then bring it home and prossess it. As fare as survival test like i think your talking. A saw and a hatchet works just fine. Or a real good knife and a heavy stick. But if stuck in the woods. I would not depend on fat wood. I would use birch bark instead. Nothing beats birch bark. It don't burn as long but has a real hot burn. Don't need tools for that stuff. Fat wood works for when its wet out. I just harvested praticly a life time worth of fat wood. Five or six pounds worth and its so dark its so orange that it looks brown. Its Minnesota fat wood.
@@66bigbuds oh i forgot to tell you. I live in the wilderness. So yea i might bring a drill in to the wilderness on a sunny day. But id sooner do it the hard way.
Add some duct tape, and put your tinder on that and it won't blow away or get knocked off while trying to strike a ferro rod near it. Keep up the great work.
Nice kit but you forgot fat wood and magnesium shavings or scraping powder also I would add some wet fire cubes and also add some steel wool and duct tape pillows it would round it out nicely.
Ok, so first of all, Liked, and SUBSCRIBED!!! 2nd, I haven’t seen that rendition of the Bic and Candle Wick trick before. Very creative. Assuming you have a vid on that, and will be searching for it after this comment. Lastly, never trust a BIC, especially if you’re in a humid climate, and aren’t a smoker or a doper, using your BIC regularly. The ferro (flint) striker WILL corrode or rust tight to the striker wheel, rendering the BIC useless, and beyond repair. In my area of south central Texas, about 12 months of inactivity is all it takes. Of course, I still have a BIC in most of my fire kits. I just check/change them out regularly. All in all, good, solid kit. Thanks!!!
Ah ha. Finley. Out of all the fire kits iv seen bush craft or survival or hiking or what ever kind of woods men or woman . Your the first with a magnifying glass. The one peice that is most important. Why? Because it is the one item that saves on your fire rod or flint and steal or your lighter or what ever you have to start a fire with. It olso is the last resort when you run out of stuff to start a fire with. Its the one fail safe way of ignition there is other than a bow drill. The only draw back to yours is . Is that its not in a frame or a sheath . You have it in cloth and it could be droped. I recommend getting one like your grandmother had. The one that flips into its own sheath and take that one you do have and make a protective case for it. Its a real good one that will work on a cloudy day. Where others might not. Be willing to bet it will work with moonlight as well. Yes it can be done if its strong enough. The old hand made brass wood kits used to have one on the lid. I would craft one for it. Then keep tinder like char in it with flint and steel . Along with a minni jute bees wax candle in it. Why? Because that glass you have is special. Thats why and when you figure out what im talking about. You will understand the novelty of bush craft in a way that you will take to another level. Most that figure out that novelty devolve to what they carry back to the 1700s because they start to craft old time stuff. But nothing wrong with cortex or canvas instead of leather. I think you get what im selling. Good fire kit means survival. Bushcraft. Camping. Hiking or a day hike thats a picnic. The search for fat wood or the mushrooms or hunting camp. Many reasons for a fire kit. Oh. In mine i like to put birch bark in it. Just the stuff that peels off. Best tinder there is for a fast fire. The brown part of the bark can be used for a tea after it drys. But take from the south side so the tree heals. The nubs of its branches will cure a head ache and end up tasting like mint after chewing on it. Best part of roughing it is when you get home. Home seems so much better. You have a good day now and get out in the wild.
Ok not being critical, but I have questions. Wouldn't red signify fire? How do you differentiate between your mini bics so you don't alternate between them? This is the big one. Why did you buy foil from Wazoo? Your grocery store and dollar stores are full of the stuff. Some are even name brand. Good video after the lengthy intro. Liked.
There's no need to put something on the button it's not going to accidentally leak I smoked for 23 years ans never put a band, zip tie or anything on the lighter wast of time
Nice kit! I also like the way you organized everything in the bag. Duluth products are too expensive for me, but if you can afford them and they're weight they are top notch. Really good video.
My Pocket EDC Fire Kit consists of a pair of reading glasses, which provides Solar Ignition, and a Key Ring Liquid Match, which includes both Flame Ignition with a wide variety of Common Liquid Fuels, and a Ferrocerium Striker as a Spark Source Of Ignition. Three Independent Sources Of Ignition With Just Two Items.
Go back to the old-fashioned fire starter kit; A piece of sharp-edged flint, a steel striker, some cotton/hemp/linen(natural materials only) char cloth, some linen tow for tinder(you can use unraveled jute twine, but you have to make sure that it isn't treated with fire retardant). I also include a "tinder tube'(much like your waxed cord one), but made out of cotton sash cord, available at JoAnns, in a copper or brass tube(Home Depot). Total cost, about five dollars, but I got about SIX of them from a twenty four-inch tube, cut into four inch lengths, with six inch lengths of cord(longer, if you wish) stuffed into them. The nice thing about this, it WON'T go OUT if the wind is blowing; it just burns BRIGHTER. The whole thing fits into an Altoids tin, if you get a SMALL striker(about two-three fingers long).
A well thought out kit. Many options. I always carry a flint and steel kit. The steel will never expire or runout, and even if the flint gets lost or wears out, as long as you can find a sharp rock, you can make fire 🔥
We were caught on a mountain during a blizzard, with 70mph winds and two going hypothermic.The only thing that would stay lit was Mautz fire ribbon. It lights wet wood. It's in all my large survival kits.
Nice kit. Something you could consider to add would be small strips of lighter knot. These make great fire starters and will assist if the wood is wet.
Perhaps, but it was not YOU who thought it out. And that's IMPORTANT. Somebody else did everybody's thinking FOR them - and that, in a survival situation, can be FATAL!
Never fails, lol, they DO NOT burn underwater, it says right on the box, will reignite after being submerged in water and brought back to air. If you’ve got a different kind it would be a great video showing that.
In regards to the jute tube. Theres a thing called a rope lighter/trench lighter. Exact same thing except it has a way to light it on the tube itself, it has a flint wheel attached so i wouldn't need another way to spark of course always good to carry a ferro rod. Also has a ball so u dont accidentally pull it all the way thru
@@DontForgetYourLunch35 of course. 🙂 Lots of trash on TH-cam so I appreciate finding aa channel that shares content that is not only interesting but also helpful.
Good video and nice kit. I really like Go Fire firestarters, they are small, thin, easy to light, and burn a long time. I caryy a few of them with a lighter, matches, and ferro rod with tinder tabs to be able to light them 3 different ways, makes for a great compact fire kit.
What are your thoughts on gag birthday candles? They relight after being blown out. Sure would help in windy conditions. With some effort they can be extinguished. Also some way to help create kindling and tender. A blade or something.
I would probably opt for stormproof matches over the gag birthday candles, since both are a one time use option, the matches burn hotter and are more robust.
As a compact fire kit goes, I like it. It follows the rule of 3 (3 sources of ignition, 3 tenders). My only complaint is that there are no tools in the kit (carpenter pencil sharper, knife, maybe a hand saw)
FYI - you can get a small waterproof pencil bag or makeup bag and build your own for pennies on the dollar rather than a Duluth bag. Or you can get canvas zip up small tool bags and wax them for waterproofing. I personally use the small tool bags for all my camping/emergency kits.
Sometimes I cut a (3-sided) door in a pingpong ball and stuff it full of dryer lint and then close the door. When I need a fire I open the door and stick the ferro rod in and strike it. I NEVER have to do two strokes. The pingpong ball burns super hot and doesn’t even leave any ash. I think this is the same material that old movies were made of.
I have most of the same items, but I like how you put them in the Duluth zip bag. I have one of those in my tool box for odd bits and pieces. I will consider repurposing that bag now.
Kinda silly actually. You don't need a whole survival catalog of gear like that. Get rid of pretty much everything, then add 2 more Bics and 20 more waterproof matches and a dozen large brown coffee filters. The idea is *survival*, not to see who can gather the most different things into a single bag.
@@harleydavo1099 I didn't want to sound like a bitch and moan type but he's also are carrying a lot of stuff that does the same thing. Sreams like just to be cool.
Great contents in your bag, great content in your video. Just curious, with all of the options available and with the importance of the items in this bag- why not use a waterproof bag?
I chose the firehose bag from Duluth because its is very water resistant, and durable. I wanted something that would resist abrasions and last a long time. It is in line with the "Castaway Concept", something that I'm working on at the moment, and basically means choose gear that will last should you find yourself stranded on your own for several years.
Possible. Ideally the kit stays in the bag until the need for fire arises. One lighter can also be carried on one’s person. I often run into the issue of having gear redundancies every which makes things confusing. I like to know all my firestarting means are in one place.
In a true life or death survival situation, would you really only want to rely on 1 way of making fire?? I would want a few ways at least, and have a fire kit for every person in the group as well as carry them in different places i.e. belt pouch, pack, first aid kit in my gear. A someone else said, if you have it all in 1 place and lose it (IT HAPPENS!!) you will be SOL. You don't need full kits for each location in your gear but redundancy is good. What's the SEAL saying: Two is one and one is none??
Most experts seem to agree... 1 - They are first reaching for a lighter. Ready flame 🔥 is the easiest/fastest way. Ferro rod and fatwood maybe a close second. Solar is unlimited ignition if more time consuming. (Lighter and Ferro rod are both consumables.) 2- Friction fire is for fun practice or SHTF emergency only... 'cause you only do that in an emergency if you didn't plan well and somehow got separated from ALL your gear.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anybody mention this but if your Bic lighter runs out you can always keep the lighter itself as fuel because it will light on fire and you can use it as an additional fuel source in the apocalypse or if that’s all you had. When I used to be a little pyromaniac child I used to light them on fire once they were done I would takeoff the metal turn it upside down when there are only be a tiny little bit of flame left and you can make it so that the flame will light one of the plastic posts on fire that hold the sparker and that thing will burn crazy hot for like 40 minutes. Obviously you don’t want to breathe in because it’s really toxic but it’s just something to think about instead of just throwing the lighter away when it’s empty. Obviously plastic burns.
if you dont shop green, you are paying way too much. Aussie saying for, if you have mates in the Army, then pouches are not a problem.. why pay for a pouch just saying is all. the rest of the gear is great, have stuff similar to this in my fire kit as well.
Nice reasonable size. I have seen larger pouches used which too me is over kill. The last thing I need is a Maxpedition Fatty pouch filled with fire making material/components. that weights too much. I use and old small camera pouch half the size of the Maxpedition Fatty pouch when I backpack. I carry enough weight. Though I do have a Altoids type tin with impregnated firestarter tabs, slivers of wood, UCO matches, a 1/4 dia firesteel with striker and make up removing cotton disc. This I carry in my pocket in case I get separated from my backpack.
I put a pencil sharpener in my kit as well to get super thin wood shavings and to get to the dry center of twigs.
Me too
What i do that is less work is use a drill bit and a tin to catch the shaving. A full tin in seconds. I use a half inch flat bit and an altoids tin. I have a twelve volt dewalt drill and i go slow with it. Fare easier. Less chance of getting hurt. But a pencil sharpener is a good idea.

I've literally NEVER heard of that happening beforeo
Amazing video! I would add two more items a pencil sharpener ( make small shavings of wood and one AA Battery for the foil
Pencil sharpeners are definitely on my shopping list. Thanks for the comment!
If you put one of those bands around the tin length wise you can waterproof it.
Great idea, thanks 👍🏼

Not that I don't have a fire kit, but I spread different forms a fire makers throughout my bag. It seems a bit risky to carry it all in one place. JMO
Yes
A well thought out kit. Many options.
I always carry a flint and steel kit. The steel will never expire or runout, and even if the flint gets lost or wears out, as long as you can find a sharp rock, you can make fire 🔥
I believe the charred rope will also take a spark to reignite. Need to test though.
Jute will take a spark regardless, and especially some that is waxed
