TH-cam directly influenced the market of rope lighters
Damn it, the system wants us to have a means to start fires in many conditions. Next they'll be promoting arson.
I'm still getting me one of these.
Jeff himself did
And we get a glimpse of the inner workings of youtube. I'm sure that's very much intended. This new recommended video system is building up quite a good image of youtube for advertisers. Google has crazy amounts of influence over the economy simply by controlling the spread of information. Like most things in the corporate world, I think it's great for us middle class short term, but very bad for everyone long term.
Interesting.
Crayo Gaming Channel just imagine how they could subtly manipulate public opinion...
TH-cam brought me here I'm sure of that, but I'm glad because I never heard of this device before. Interesting.
Yeah! Me too. WOW!
Justin Omoi same
I missedbtje word "because". So I was sitting here and imagined that you meant you would otherwise have done quite some fire based piromaniac stuff lol
literally, all of the videos I watch is from my recommended
very few are from actual things I search to watch

First they recommend me lockpicking videos and now lighter videos, youtube what are you trying to say to me?
Dude! Same!
you will become blacksmith

This is the best part about You Tube, learning about things you may never ever have heard of in your life if not for great people uploading simple videos to teach everyone about something new.
Norman J. Murk yes.!! This is the reason why I like and unlike things so often, to get better quality like this.
@@margarita1776. hell yeah girl, agreed!
The problem I see in this is. There is so much to learn that is actually useful. We shouldn't waste our time with this. A rope lighter has no practical use in today's age
@@optidalfprime3904 I mean when I try to light a blunt on a hike and have to hunker down just to get it going this would have been pretty useful.
You guys ever heard of Tom Scott? Check out his channel, so many amazingly weird random things
This would be great for windy conditions. The wind actually makes it burn hotter.

Conspiracy from the rope lighter industry
Their £3 go get one
@Hyrum Wood about $7 on amazon
Was popular in UK prisons when gas lighters were not allowed. Made with a wick of various material (usually the edge of a blanket) threaded through part of a plastic pen. The spark was usually the wheel and flint of a disposable lighter. This was assembled in a box made out of spent matchsticks. Ingenious and they worked
So wait. The gas lighters weren't allowed but the way you describe them as handmade, potentially by inmates makes it sound like it was a contraband item. Which doesn't make that much sense to me if it were legal to have. Unless it was because of budget. I'm American so I'm not all that familiar with minor subtleties of the laws of the UK, especially regarding the prison system.
We won't ask why you're such an expert on prison tech.
@MDSsystems probably being smuggled or a program where garbage is sorted through and then still smuggled
We just used adapters with CD chargers. Worked like a charm lol
So they needa a lighter and matches to make a not as good lighter that also was not aloud so y not just use the lighter and matches
You should do a video trying to light a pipe or a cigar with it
I was going to request the same. I kinda doubt that it would be useful with a pipe.
@@j.s.3753 I feel like something like this would be especially useful with a pipe
@@j.s.3753 Did you actually watch the video, he clearly said sailors used it to light their pipe. SMH
sadboyrasco I have lit a pipe with a lighter in a storm it’s not that easy.
@@donjuan2001 i used a pipe before and i have to agree with you, its probably acctualy trickyer to light a pipe with a normal lighter.
I got 4 of those still in the box unused from WWII at an estate sale and they're called "Foxhole lighter" on the box the instructions inside show a GI lighting a smoke. It came with a little glass bottle of Flints (now almost all powder) and a spare rope. It works quite well.
I knew learning how to tie a noose would be useful
Now you can use it for two things! ;)
@@oppfattet well you can only use it one of those ways once
@@TacticalBaguette choose your sequence of actions carefully for maximum utilization
Maniac Magge it's easy if your'e not obtuse
@@oppfattet whoa whoa whoa there...
so you made a 7 minute video about a lighter.... and set nothing on fire ?
He needs to make up for this in his next video by burning his house down.
Shikki fujin he kinda set the lighter itself on fire
I'm sure embers are different from fire.
@@Competitive_Antagonist With lemons?
Technically, he set the rope on fire
It's 4AM and somehow I'm watching a rope lighter by a channel called Cutlery Lover lmao
Its 5 am here

6:30 AM here dude :D
😂
4:20AM guys, i think i'm stuck in a timeloop... Send help
Try soaking the cotton rope in a potassium nitrate + water solution for a few minutes and dry it, you're basically making a slow match (used usually in matchlock arquebus) and I think it'll probably improve the ember and keep it red hot most of the time
You have a great style of presentation : simple, clear, unpretentious. Its rare. I hope you're a teacher.
If you buy fireworks in the Netherlands you usually get some rope for free. You light the rope with a normal lighter and then you can use the rope to light the fireworks.
why
@@grimguise cause tradition you uncultured swine
@@grimguise because this is wind proof and maybe safer.
@@grimguise I imagine, for the same reason we get what is called a punk (in texas at least) to light fireworks. Just an easy way to keep a light without having an actual flame.
@@stanleyjohnson8409 same in Indiana
In the Netherlands this rope is widely used to safely light fireworks. Cool to know the history behind it. I’ve used it for years.
Me : I have so much work to do for tomorrow, i should start now.
Also me: ohhhhh a rope lighter, i really wonder what that is?
No fuel needed.
*runs out of rope
*buys new rope lighter
@george scott That would count as fuel, just a more common fuel source lol
@george scott No shit huh? And here I was thinking you were just an asshole that was trying to prove a point on "fuel", but ig you use your brain after all. My mistake, dipshit.
@@auz3329 you are a dense idiot. just take the loss.
@george scott would you eat shit for 10,000 dollars?
@george scott hes making a joke about this guy saying the lighter doesnt need fuel. It does need fuel. Just not the conventional liquid lighter fuel. In this case the fuel is rope.
This how the match lock weapon worked- instead of a flint, it was a smoldering rope.
To me this seems like the first and last lighter that will ever exist. If for whatever reason it hit end times or some sort of supply block or even something as simple as off grid living this lighter would be insanely easy to keep running for years opposed to so many other lighters nowadays that range from near disposable to barely lasting a couple months. Its remarkable how simple yet convenient it is, way easier than flint and steel fire starting yet doing essentially the same thing in a clever way
My mother had several of those with original rope.
I always thought the soldiers in WWII must have had an unlimited supply of lighter fluid and didnt care about wet, flammable products. 😁
Thanks for the heads up!
Simple, yet genius and useful. Love it.
This is ingenious. They take a little metal tube, a piece of cotton rope, a fish hook and sinker, and have some Flint and steel and boom. So simple but fricking genius. I love it
Never knew i needed this in my life, until now.
Thank you so much I love technology from that area. And I have a lot of antiques but I never knew about this. I absolutely can't wait to get one. Again thanks for well done video.
Appreciate the video. I have one of these as it was my dad's. very old and so too the old rope inside. I often look at how cool it was but didn't realise just how practical it would be for bushcraft and for emergencies. I also thought that perhaps they used to douse the rope in kero etc, but obviously not needed. Thanks for the info.
I made one of these like 8 years ago (have a video) :) I called mine a gel wax tinder rope and have a copper tube protecting the flame
Hey artisan Tony 😀😀😀
Hey! :)

welcome to another episode of:
what the hell is youtube recommendations doing
It's building up a wave of people's attention, like the tides of the earth. They now have the ability to heavily influence vast amounts of people.
Sometimes they are interesting. I liked this one not my normal viewing.
please shut the fuck up. comments talking about TH-cam recommendations are so fucking annoying. so please, for the love of God. shut the fuck up.
OMG! This is the lighter my pap use to have!! I only have a brief memory of it and would "keep me up at night" trying to fig out what it was. Just purchased one.... Can't wait till it comes in. Thanks again!
Clever idea 👍
Not as commonly used as when I was a kid, but you can still find this king of lighters at most tobacco stores in Spain.
There are a couple styles and variants. Also specific ropes of several types.
Pretty cool... I've seen so many videos on how to make fires, but this is the first time I saw this device. Pretty cool.

I love unusual things like this, so simple and smart, its great. I want one, if I cant find one Im sure it wouldnt be too difficult to make. There is so much beauty in the purity of its design. Very nice.
Ebay, got one for under 5 bucks :)
Thanks for sharing!... I want one now!
This will be the coolest “Dad” item that My kids will remember me by (i hope)
That's badass...I've never seen one of these before.
This reminds me when I lit a dry mop leaning against the wall and thought I blew it out. Just a handle left in the morning, lucky the house was brick..
This comment actually killed me
Lmfao😭😭😭
Oh my God, this is good for camping! 🤩🤩. Did I the only one excited for this??
Too many comments to read them all, so someone may have already pointed this out: I'm a sailor and a pipe smoker. There is a reason for the slip knot on the rope. After you light, you slide the knot up to secure the rope inside the tube. A little safer to put back in your pocket that way. Also, it is usually (hopefully) windy when you are sailing. This is the only lighter that works better in the wind! Good video though-thanks for sharing!
Now i can burn my house even in windy condition if i ever spot that spooder again
You mean you let it get away and didn’t set the house on fire! Oooh you’re fucked buddy
And without a fuel source or direct source of flame, much harder for arson experts to prove arson. You know what, forget I said anything lol.

Cringe
Pardon my language, but that's pretty stinkin cool
This is a family friendly channel, watch your profanity
I heckin agree!
GET THIS HEATHEN!
Heck off swear boi
You are so fucking vulgar!
That lighter is Lit
This is lit!
Even in windy conditions.
It's called a "trench lighter" because of the trenches of WWI, not WWII
Richie Mann k
Or WW2, in which there was also trenches
@@ethanpetersen3840 It got the name during the First.
They where invented a lot earlier than world war 1 , they where used in the 18 cent
@@0z33y Trench foot happened before WW1 but that's a name that is used. Same thing idiot.
Cool! Never seen a lighter like this before. Great video. Only suggestion I'd say would be showing the lighter lighting things, pipe, cigarette, cigar, campfire etc. Keep it up!
It works the same as charcloth with making a fire just put the embers in your tinder bundle and blow and it'll catch.
He should show it burning down a house with a screaming family inside to really show it in action.
Very cool! I have never seen anything like this before. Basically the charred end is nothing other than char cloth. Nice to see something unique, thank you!!!
Such an amazing invention, so simple and elegant.
that must be really good for fireworks my mom always said nothing better to light fireworks than a lit cigarette this seems to be the same concept
Found the child.
In the Netherlands, where everyone can light fireworks on New Year's Eve, we use a "lont" (fuse) to light fireworks, which is the same as the rope in this lighter (without the actual contraption, we light the rope ahead of time with a regular lighter.
@@fernandotills and nobody cared
@bubuninja What a great mom you have. Such useful practical knowledge I wish my parents could have imparted on me. Like frugal living tricks such as taking the free ketchup packets from McDonalds, cooking up some spaghetti, and applying hundreds of said packets to make a tasty meal that's on par with the establishment from whence came the sauce packets. "Healthy", and on the cheap.
Truly a remarkable woman.
That's how is done in Spain. As a child I played with fireworks and a burning rope.
Never seen anything like this... It's actually super fucking cool... I love this channel 👍
Yeah, in colonial times they used to keep charred cloth on hand and even use their flint rifles to ignite the ember, same principle. Thx for showing this. I'll have to pick one up!
this is so awesome. I'm glad TH-cam recommended this.
We used to make something along the same lines using a clipper lighter flint holder and a length of floor mop as a wick. Encase it in a matchstick frame and voila! It was a standard lighter in prison when I was there 35yrs ago. Forgot all about them until seeing this, thanks 😎
That’s cool. lol I imagine a pirate 🏴☠️ lighting a cannon.
MAXCOBRALAZERFACE nigga
This is, in fact, how many cannons _were_ fired -- it's called the slow match:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_match
Blackbeard was known for twisting lit slow match into his beard when he jumped a mf'er, so as to look like a spooky demon from hell.
@@diligentius There was a fictionalized Blackbeard in Tim Powers' On Stranger Tides, and the image has stuck with me. good book
Interesting.... I've never heard of something like this definitely intriguing. As it is wind proof it seems like it'll be a good addition for my fire kit when I go into the woods.
This popped up on my amazon feed and I was really skeptical about it's functionality until I saw this video. This is really cool and I don't have to worry about keeping gas in my bag!
I really appreciate how clear and quick to the point you are, no fat
I did not know this mechanism was a thing.
But I have used smoldering rope for fireworks.
🤔 Oh yea...good idea!👌
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Oh the videos I find while in quarantine
Been watching CutleryLover for years and years and he always finds the coolest shit that isn't gimmicky. I think I might buy one of these just for fun.
Sold. Seems great for camping. I wonder if dousing the rope in some sort of hydrophobic fuel source would make it more robust.
you would produce flames, it's not necessary i think
@@kiryls1207 well yeah, not necessary, but I'm worried about moisture making it hard to light the rope. It's pretty humid and cool where I live, so having water resistant fire starters while camping is a must.
@@fredjackson8408 I would suggest a magnesium fire starter kit tbh. It's way better. costs about the same don't get wet and you don't need timber for it to work.
@@optidalfprime3904 oh yeah definitely, I always camp with multiple fire starting devices anyways. Just pack lighters and matches, starters, and tinder all over the place so ones always available no matter the situation 😂👌
Fred Jackson Keep this guy in one of those waterproof containers people use on the river.
How cool. I've never ever heard of these things and they seem incredibly useful.
Thank you. I had no idea these cheap but awesome lighters would exist. Just ordered one on Amazon because of your review...
In the netherlands we call the cord vuurwerklond
Someone at TH-cam must own shares in a company that manufactures these.
Thanks for sharing. My dad had a great lighter collection back in the 60s. Of course he was a World War 2 vet that smoked Pall Malls. And of all the lighters he had I don't remember this one.
So cool! I want to make one now! Definitely going in my pack! Thanks for the review. Well done.
I believe that this device is the origin of the saying "at the end of my rope"
Bawbster1 brilliant
"So this is a lighter that's wind proof, doesn't require fuel, and produces no flame. A rope. I'm showing you just a regular rope."
Mine arrived today. Same as yours. It is all that, and I’m an avid hiker and smoker lol. Thanks!
Wow, this is an amazing design
Shipped free from China on e bay. Just type in rope lighter and e bay will come up. Most 7.80 but the one for 4.13 same some show. .99 but that is just a wick. Look close. Also color. I think it was silver was the cheapest
that's the most time I have ever seen someone take to say "it's secured with a fishing hook."
Another great addition to our emergency/survival bags
TH-cam recommendations is the ultimate way to find content I swear
They work better if you coat the rope in wax
Also helps with keeping it dry
Wouldn't it be a WW1 trench lighter; not a ww2?
Yeah I thought the same thing
@@thejackbox they had trenches in WW2 as well
@@alexander1055 true but not as prominent as WWI due to changes of tactics
@@alexander1055 they had trenches in the vietnam war as well

Trench warfare was used in the first world war but nice video
Trench warfare was first used in the civil war and was used all the way up to the cold war.
It was also used in WWII but to a lesser extent I’m pretty sure.
ALSO IN WW2. TO KEEP A SNIPER FROM SHOOTING AT A LIGHTER FLAME.3 ON A MATCH IS DEATH, AS MY UNCLE USED TO SAY................
THANKS
This is the single greatest invention of all time. I don’t give a f*** what else you got to show me, this decision is final.
No
I work for an antique dealer that sells a lot of Russian antiquities from the 1800’s; a lot of imperial objects and interesting items. Occasionally we get lighter cases, and they all have this rope design. Pretty cool!
Super cool lighter right there.
pretty cool, wind proof but how does it fair against moisture?
won't work if it's saturated but you can drop it in water and fish it out in a couple seconds later and immediately light something
Well, you could probably keep it in a resealable bag to keep the moisture out, only pull it out when needed. Maybe even rig something up so only the lit part is exposed when in use.
Very neat, and new to me! But doesn't the term "trench lighter" refer to the ones that use fluid and have a cap that comes down over the wick when not in use?
Like Imco I believe
@@FuckGogleplus lmco?
@@Heizenberg32 look up Imco 6700. Imco is the manufacturer in Austria that originally made them. If something were a trench lighter that would be it
@@FuckGogleplus Gotcha, yeah. Similar to those
In this case I believe that "trench lighter" refers to the simple, often home made, lighters that poor WW 1 troops used in the trenches. There were various types made, such as this rope lighter, or lighters made from spent rifle casings, etc. There are still models of some trench lighters sold today, often using butane as a fuel source, and they distinguish themselves usually by having a separate tube for the flint/spring along side of the lighter body. My Dad made a simple lighter from a .303 brass case during WW2 that used a "Zippo" type fuel...the troops had time on their hands and were quite ingenious.
I keep one on my boat for fishing down at the coast. Works great.
I love it. I’m going to make my own version.
Seems like water would be detrimental to the rope lighting up. But other than that it seems awesome
I'm pretty sure water is the bane of all lighters not just this one
Simpler to have spare rope packed separately than carry extra fuel.
@@christianmunso7482 I dunno... A gas lighter should work just fine after being soaked
Trench warfare was the fighting during WWI, when this lighter became popular.
They used zippos during WWII
somemedic You're right, my buddy's dad was in WW2 and Korea and they issued Zippos. He's got his dad's still, with the engravings barely noticeable. But it still works even after 70 plus years.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I didn’t know that the rope had to be charred for it to work.
My father gave me one of these. I couldn’t get it to work. Thank you so much.
Always explains things well. Prob need to get one of thoose
That looks like it would be hard to smoke weed with.
nah, you just have to grind it instead of just burning a nug; great for outside and joints
Would this work with hemp rope?
