20 years ago in the Nebraska FF's - Intro To Fire Investigation Class, they used Fritos as the catalyst to start a car fire & we had to figure out how the Arson was committed. It wasn't common knowledge as it is today! Also, I didn't think a Slim Jim would catch very easy do to its moisture content.
in 2009 the Slim Jim plant exploded causing a world wide shortage of Slim Jims for weeks. Real preppers always keep a stockpile of Slim Jims on hand. feel free to fact check me. lol
Pringles, Shortbread and dry Spaghetti all burn too, to name a few. Anything with a high fat, oil or butter content. I’ve even had some success with a PB sandwich.
Wow cujomojo - bro - you've given some serious thought, time and effort into exploring the use of food in survival situations requiring alternative fuel for fires . . . even a PB sandwich! Now that's a dedicated prepper folks! 😂 Hmmm, now you've got me thinkin' . . . McDonald's French Fries, Cheez Whiz, Spam . . . the possibilities are endless! 🤣
AWESOME VIDEO TOPIC & fun to watch! Even though the Slim Jim might not be the best fire starter in a survival situation - it's good to know it's an option for "emergency fuel" for either the body OR fire to eat! I wonder if it would light and burn better in a more vertical orientation (with the lit end facing upward like a candle wick)? It seemed like the oil in the Slim Jim was just dripping down and feeding the candle's flame. It also might need more shelter to get a faster light. Regardless, the MAIN POINT OF THIS VIDEO is: this is a fun thing to do and watch because this is what the teenage boy in all of us men likes to do! LOL! Thanks for the 10 minutes of fun entertainment and random trivia knowledge we can pass on!! Who knows, a Slim Jim could save somebody's life someday, dammit!😎👍
haha im an adult I dont need any excuses...I actualy ate the small oen but threw out the big one, just wasnt into it at the moment...I use to love the bigger ones but slims jims are better small IMO
@ I used to eat Slim Jim’s, but always found Cartlidge in them, but yeah, the smaller ones are better for a snack staying on the topic you watched that movie heavyweights lol watch it !! Thankfully, this experiment did not work. Therefore, I will not be carrying slim Jim’s on me.
Make a channel mixing those sharps and whatever trends are now. Love your content in middleschool but adspocalypse/provider friendly business model has to go
Huh? I think we need a translator over here! 🤔 Although, how cool is it that beings from other planets are watching and attempting to comment in English on TH-cam videos! Wow! 😎👍 (Ahhhhh, I make myself LOL!)
The spicy ones burn more, especially on the way out
Ahhhhh Haaaaa!🤣
Great for heating car seats and under blankets.
Now this is the kind of content I subscribed for.
When I seen the thumbnail I thought you were lighting a blunt😂
Seeing all the fat drip of that slim jim makes me think you could collect it all and make a makeshift lamp
got a new camping treat to try around the camp fire.....
Time to blend it and make a slim jim flavored aromatic pipe tobacco.

It’s very greasy.
Amazingly interesting! I like this!

Thanks for another bit of (mostly) useless information. It's like watching Jeopardy, only more fun! 😉😉
hahaha im chock full of useless info...

We have a spaghetti stick by the stove to light the flame once in a while
For as long as you had it to the flame it gets an "F" NOPE NOT TODAY
Mmm, haven't had those in forever.
I wonder if you prepared it more like tinder it would be more effective.
Good idea! True, because it's like trying to just directly light a larger stick on fire from the start. Shredded Slim Jim's are the key! 😉
Snap into a slim Jimmy!
Thumbnail looks like a cigar
From black and mild to slims in the wild

Cool ,nice property!
before watching: i am guessing yes based on how much grease is in there. it probably isn't pleasant tho.
I feel like if it had a wick shoved down the length of it it would soak up the fat/oil content like wax
Thanks?😅
Love your vids Chris. But give me cotton balls and vasiline.
Better off eating them 👍
Just excuse too have slim Jim’s

my business model has never changed you did ;) its what some love about my channel and others hate...
For the same size you could just carry a road flare.
Yeah but you can also use a slim Jim for food or fishing bait so it is multipurpose.
im pretty sure they dont make road flares that small or that can fold lol but id only carry a slim jim if I wanted a meaty snack haha
