- Because we already carry it in our packs and in emergencies it will ferro rod ignite easily and burn intensely for several minutes. What kind of emergencies? Just fell through the ice and you need a quick fire. It is nighttime, pitch black, and you need the flame's light and extended intense heat to get hastily gathered less than ideal tinder to start a fire. OR, simply, everything's just wet.

Ferro Rod Ignited Duct Tape Is A Terrible Fire Starter!
th-cam.com/video/H0CSX6pUEwU/w-d-xo.html
Duct tape, I believe, by code should be fire resistant, hence not wanting to continue to burn. The flammability of the Gorilla Tape would preclude them mentioning "duct work" as a recommended use. Another great thing about the Gorilla Tape is its water resistance, making it a great multi-purpose survival item. Thanks for sharing with us David!
Straight forward conventional material obvious to the most casual obsevor. LOL! TY!
I like that you didn't just dismiss the duct tape as not being any good for a fire starter, but that you did some more research and changed the tape brand. You are true to the adage, if at first you don't succeed try try again. Great video and thank you for the demonstration of different duct tapes....
I enjoyed these experiments! TY!
I do not use gorilla tape because there are other that have tested better and stronger, but I will buy me a roll, to carry in my hunting and camping gear along with my stash for fire starter accessories. You taught an old dog a new trick David.
It may be the strongest, too.
Didn't think there would be that much of a difference between the brands but you've shown that there is! 👍
Me neither. TY!
Hey brother , been using the even tinnier roll of go-rilla tape for years I like it for all your reasons. I use a carabiner to retain it on my go pack. And I carry it for not just fire but as for use as well. A big thing you left out is how Go-rilla tape bonds upon itself , when overlapped. Almost like an acid type fuse. After it does that good luck getting it off anything you put it on. Holds like a weld. But it is good for a fire source too. A fellow Bigfoot friend of mine asked about you the other day. I was going to stretch the truth and say oh yeah Dave , known him for years lol. But I didn't, nice video. Never done the tiny tears before, the thinner roll of Go rilla tape is only like a half inch anyways. But I find dozens of uses while afield trust me on that. Peace.
I almost bought one, but decided to buy a wide roll like the 2 rolls of duct tape I tested yesterday.
Thank you for going out to get the Gorilla Tape. I will be replacing the Duck tape (not intended for fire starting, just a quick mending tool or bandage) I have wrapped around my Mora Companion Spark knife with Gorilla tape (for all the previous use and now fire starting). Nice shoutout you did mentioning Canterbury, a great self reliance resource. God bless.
When I ocassionally watch his older videos, many times I'll notice a technique, a phrase, or a tip that I use and then realise, I got it from him.
Thanks for the follow up video. I switched to gorilla tape some time back for general use due to its superior function and longevity, so now I have another use for it. I'm glad to see you mention of using it for heat and light--I definitely would not cook food on that fire, at least not directly on it like meats, as I'm sure there are plenty of toxic materials in it. But yes, a fast fire for survival even with wet tinder.
Indeed. TY!
I figured from yesterday's video, that we soon see gorilla tape video.. Keep up the good work...
Had to.
I have a ferro rod with some Duct Tape around one edge to help grip it. I had ignited duct tape before and assumed it worked, but decided to give it a go after watching your recent videos. Wouldn't take! I guess I need to buy some Gorilla tape and rewrap it. Great video as usual!
You're about the 4th one that mentioned that. I'm glad people are benefiting from these videos. TY!
Thanks David nice video sir. I keep gorilla tape wrapped bic lighters in my fishing and camping gear thanks to Mr Canterbury’s advice
Lot's do that. I didn't know the tip came from DC.
I have found that when using tape as a fire starter, that the ones with a high fiber content have worked the best. Duck brand has almost none while Gorilla Tape has a high count.
Love your videos.
Great point!
I switched over to guerilla tape awhile back. No brand of Duct tape comes close to the performance of guerrilla tape!
I just didn't realize it ignited so easily.
Thanks as always for sharing!
Yes, the 3 times that I got a flame, it was from 6 strkes of a 3" ferro rod. That's pretty good!
KEEP in mind your using a very small ferro rod it does not put out the huge "gobs" of burning spark Dave's 1/2 inch ferro rod does ---- so with your very small rod I'd say it's a complete success
True.
Thanks David; this Gorilla Tape certainly worked better than that Duct Tape you used yesterday. I'm switching out my Duct Tape for the Gorilla Tape!
I hope others see the difference like have.
As a hiker, I’ll be wrapping this around my trekking poles.
Excellent tutorial. I was curious and wanted to know. And I found out.
Cool, thanks!
I'm sure that Red Green would approve.
Thanks Dave!
I saw one the other day where the guy added cotton fibers down the center of his Gorilla tape before wrapping it around his lighter. He also added a bright piece of flagging on the bottom of his darker Bic in case of dropping it.
Both, good ideas.
David , good video and demonstration , that worked great , thanks for sharing , God bless brother !
Thanks Michael!
You might have learned from Dave C., but I've learned from you. Thanks, Dave W.
Now pay it forward. TY!
Just commented on your other video. I actually have some cheap and some gorilla on my rod. Didnt try the gorilla so here we go. Lol
Good luck!
Awesome.
Makes sense to not have something flammable in duct work. Thx for sharing that this is a better product if you want something with fire backup capabilities.
It's more valuable as tape unless you need a fire in an emergency. TY!
Oh happy day. We all can learn something new. I know I have learned a lot from you. thank you for sharing stay safe and God Bless
Thanks Ali! I've gotta drop by and see what you've been up too.
Good Job 👍
Thanks Frank!
Well, there’s Gorilla Tape, and then there’s duct tape.
True. GT is not DT.
I learned something that might save my life today. Thanks
Agreat technique!
👍👍 Gorilla makes some good products . This is just one more reason to use their tape . Love your persistence in finding more items to add to our ARSONal 😄 ( I probably could have passed that up , but , nah .) Keep teaching us brother !
I like their glue very much also.
Nice one David, I suspect that Gorilla tape may be superior to common duct tape in weather resistance for example. I also suspect many Altoids tin survival kits are now going to be revisited. lol😀
Who knew? I didn't.
Thanks dave for pursuing this,,,, I have watched all your videos,,,also I am happy to say that and item in my edc is a 10-049 thanks for your videos
A great knife!
Informative and beneficial video
Thanks Corley!
Another great video and demonstration! Thanks, David -- and hello from California!
TY! from Upstate SC.
Thanks again
Always welcome!
Good to know
Thanks TR!
Always learning something new from your videos. Thanks David.
I like that!
awesome.
TY AS!
Love it !
Thanks BW!
Hi David! My own testing was equally successful with the Gorilla Tape.
Love it!
Thanks again for giving me a reason to pull out my edc emergency kit and test this out yesterday :-)
Now I have full confidence in this method.
I also had to clean a sticky mess after putting out the glob of glue fire lol
LOL! I'll probably scrape it off the table and have to touch up the paint.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Haha! I did it on a jobsite on a customers asphalt driveway. Not my brightest moment. I smeared some pinecones over it and luckily its not visible anymore :-)
I have had poor results with the silver brand of tape. I place a small ball of cotton in the center. Works well then. Thanks David.
Good one!
Makes sense to me. If duct tape is designed to be used on heating ducts it makes sense it would have fire retardant properties.
Thank you!
Cool 😎
TY!
That's much better.
So much...
Have you ever tried anything like slivers of a plastic milk jug? That's kind of what that reminds me of, a melting milk jug. Probably need some sort of flammable compound like the glue on Gorilla Tape. Great video, possibilities seem endless.
No, but I've found that plastic grocery bags provide a very long burn time to ignite wet tinder and kindling.
Good to know it has to be gorilla brand
It should empty BIC ignite also. I'll try that today.
Excellent! I had tried it with the 3M duct tape and it was really tough. I had not noticed they were using Gorilla tape. I will have to try again!
I thought any duct tape would work. I'm glad I did the experiments.
I had to test my tapes from the dollar store. I don't like Gorilla because although it's much stronger it peels off more easily than thin tapes that cling better. So I tested IPG USA brand (very thin) and Tape-All USA brand (not as thin) and both burned all the way after being lit by lighter.
What does your insurance agent say about you doing these fire tests right next to your wooden deck and railing?
I think "duct tape" is by code flame retardant that may be the problem. As you have so well pointed out. I use the black 3M stuff to tack down stage electronics we do not want it to think about "heat" or "fire" from all the stuff that can happen on stage.
I hear ya! Thank you!
I found some "T-Rex" tape in a Dollar General store. It is strong . I'll have to try it soon to see how it ignites.
I saw a lot of it on the shelves while shopping for the Gorilla.
I'll try some possibly Saturday and let you know.
Can't talk now I'm off to buy some gorilla tape 👍🏴
Petal to the metal!
What did it smell like? Wonder if it would keep away skeeters...
I was so focused in on the task at hand, I never noticed. I'm sure that back smoke smells like burning plastic.
I know it's of no concern when you need a fire but how is the smell?
I was so focused in, I never noticed. I'm sure that back smoke smells like burning plastic.
🦍🦍🦍 it IS! 🔥😎
Thanks Tomad!
Might be cheaper to burn $ bills....
Redemption..!! Lol.. like I said, cool trick to show the kids, but save the tape.. fat wood will not patch a tarp very well..!! Lol.. simper-fi sir..!!
True.
Its hard to work with that stuff, after a while it takes skin
Sticky!
I tried doing this very thing, and I didn't get the same result. Obviously, there's really no trick to it, but is there a difference in Gorilla Tape? I use this tape around my lighter as an eenregency tinder with ferro rod. Can get mine to light. Any tips?
IDK. I never use this technique. The tape can be difficult to light and the breeze can blow the flame out easily.
Have you tested the clear gorilla tape?
No. Try it for me.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl OK
Boop
Hi David do you have a email ????🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No, sorry.
