Hey James, excellent review of a very cool product!!
Dang, sold out.
Really impressive, great video sir ..
I note that the great felix immler gave your channel a glowing and well deserved recommendation...
High praise indeed .
Have you done any videos about the magnifying glass. My uncle that taught me how to survive in the West Texas desert always carried one to start fires and to evaluate injuries and such as cuts.
Man this product is truly a life saver. If you were to break through ice and able to rescue yourself your first step to surviving hypothermia is to get a big fire going. I couldn’t imagine accomplishing this with a ferro rod or a lighter even after you’ve taken an icy plunge. This rig would definitely save your life if your motor skills were reduced. Thanks for sharing this James, it’s a really good one!
You're welcome!
I agree.
I'm always looking for redundancy in fire making items for my backpacks. These are usually already lightweight and apart from shelter and water, fire is one of the most important parts of camping, hiking or survival. It is one of the essential Cs, so another reliable method in an emergency is a good idea.
Absolutely!
Good content as always. A young guy solo canoeing with just a dog you actually described my thinking about fire starting. I figured I was wet, tired, and maybe hurt. So I carried road 2 flares. (Plus more common fire starters.) These might have been a better choice.
Possibly. Thanks so much for watching!
Top tip 👍
Glad you liked it!
Looks like a road flair, redesigned for a different usage (fire startage) ... the use shaped fuse isn't much bigger (if at all) [the fusey usually last about 20 minutes (at least they did when I was an emt fireman) so they are probably a bit smaller but longer (the size of a 1/4 & 12 too 16 inches long) not sure of price but I doubt they cost a lot] just a though
Yes, I'm not sure if they are made like road flares or not as they smell like fireworks when they start.
there will be some idiot who would play around the fire starter.
There's always someone who does something like that.
That is just too cool! I used a highway flare once. It worked, but certainly didn't burn for a half an hour! Thanks for the demo, I'm not sure I'd have believed the company without this video!
Glad you liked it!
Idiot proof you say ?
....Hold my beer.
Lol!
Thank you for this video.
I always carry a 30-minute road flare whenever I am heading into the woods, even if it is just a day hike. The product you demonstrated looks like a great replacement for the road flare: Better sized, more convenient to light with frozen fingers. I need to get some to put in each backpack and in the "rescue box" of each vehicle.
Again, thank you for this video.
You're welcome!
Very interesting idea, especially for anyone with dexterity challenges or who hasn't yet developed their fire lighting skills. I think that you, Blackie Thomas, and Greencraft UK are my three favourite channels. Thank you.
Thanks so much and I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Wow what an excellent product! I thought I had seen just about every fire-starter around but this was totally new to me. With so many good products out there there is no reason for anyone who loves the outdoors to ever go without a comforting fire in an emergency. Thanks for showing us this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Definitely a little pricey, but you can't argue the convenience and reliability. I'll be adding them to my kits soon for sure.
Excellent!
And here I thought I knew all 27 ways to start a fire!
Definitely have to add this to my "truck kit"!
Thanks for watching and I'm glad that you liked it!
Okay so James These Items are All Currently Unavailable on your links to amazon and may I suggest that people bash a stick into the ground then put the green cord over the stick and then pull the red cord to ignite thus saving anyone from a possible nasty burn to their arms. Stay safe.
They are available on the Amazon I use.
I just checked the link and added a set to my cart in amazon. It's working.
I had no problem with Amazon
@@b5maddog what country are you in mate?
All these videos aren’t needed! I use FAT WOOD TO LIGHT MY FIREPLACE AND OTHER FIRES. A 4-6 inch piece is all that’s needed!💥🔥
Thanks for watching.
Looks like the same principle as "highway flares". Highway flares can be found with different times. My Dad was a railroad engineer, and long burning flares were a part of the emergency kit that the train crews used. Thanks for the demonstration. Stay well & safe... Cheers.
I hope the flares are cheaper than these things are lol
Thanks for watching!
Try the upside down fire. Its a great low maintenance fire lay,. great for a survival situation.
Yes, that definitely works well!
That appears to be white phosphorous, or something very similar.
That type of chemical agent is sealed to keep it from exposure to oxygen. Once white phosphorous is exposed to oxygen, it burns hot, there's no way to put it out.
You have to wait until it extinguishes itself.
I know that it burns very hot and does a great job for sure!
Pretty cool product! Easy peesy lemon squeezy. Like a mini Willie Pete... only much safer. Might throw 3 in my pack. 🤔
Excellent!
Awesome info. I think I need to add these to my day hike carry items and put o e I. The vehicle for emergencies 🇺🇸
Thanks!
Great video. Blackie mentioned these, too. These can be purchased in Canada at Canadian Tire.
I've seen them, almost bought a pack but hadn't seen THIS review...
Is there anything y'all can't get at Canadian Tire? I've never been in or even close to one but I am amazed at all the TH-cam videos over the years where the presenter or commenters have said this or that can be purchased at Canadian Tire. It sounds like a cool store. In the U.S. if a store is called 'XYZ Tire' then that means they sell, well, tires. Maybe related things like wheels, brakes, shocks and so on - maybe, but not necessarily. They probably aren't going to be selling camping gear and a million, other things.
You can buy a lot there for sure.
Excellent!
I really enjoy your channel, James. Your hobo series is fascinating.
I'm thinking it's a good extreme emergency fire starter frozen hands wet clothes when you need fire right now. Other than that I'd try the more traditional fire starters. Yes I'd like to have one on me.
Agreed!
Awesome product. I've bought them after you showed them to us in the class. They are in my packs now.
Very good, my friend!
That is cool. Thanks for the demo. I use DIY starters that work well with wet material. Keep up the awesome work. Stay safe. ✌️
Thanks, you too!
Bestimmt ein gutes System, jedoch für den Preis leider nur für den absoluten Notfall geeignet.
Yes, definitely for emergencies.
Yeah that would definitely be a must carry item. And not just for the sake of starting a fire for its own sake. But to help people out when clean portable water is in short supply. So long as you have one of these and a container you can boil water in you’re almost guaranteed to have safe clean water to drink. One of these, a good supply of wood, and a restaurant sized stock pot can make you a supply of clean safe water that can easily last you for days.
You nearly became a lightning beacon there buddy;)
Right?
Great Share Thanks, Blessed Be and Stay Safe. Cincinnati, Ohio here.
Thanks, you too!
I foresee a DIY WayPoint Survival pull start fire starter clone coming soon....
I hope so!
That would be cool if I can figure out how it's made!
@@WayPointSurvival I have faith in you...
So basically they're like a compact road flare. I know people who put road flares in their camping pack for wet weather fire starting.
True!
reminds me of ROAD FLARES which would work well and about the same cost
but... with ROAD FLARES you have 15 minutes which should be enough time
you could always use a second flare
Big Like 👍 I’m the worst at lighting fires 🔥
Thanks, I'm glad that you liked it!
Thank you for doing the silver wolves class. Health is getting to be an issue for some of us. I would really love to see some classes off of side by side or a four wheeler. That is the only way I really get around anymore and I’m sure that I am not the only one.
That's a great idea! Thanks so much for the suggestion and for watching the channel!
@@WayPointSurvival thank you
@@168Diplomat You're welcome!
What would be a good idea for a walk-a-bout video would be taking a stroll about the local environment and noting items that are laid about that may make 'hobo' improvised items for the perfect 'Hobo Jungle' accoutrements!
i love these
I like them quite a bit myself!
Thanks for mentioning the mic issue!!!! I was a bit concerned about the breathing! The product is interesting! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Glad to know your breathing is OK! I saw that fire starter used on a camping video, but you really showed how well it works. Having one or more of these could save the life of anyone who spends time in the woods and has a chance of getting lost, caught by a blizzard, flood, needs to build a fire for signaling. I read about one man who got lost and was facing death after several days, when he found the dead body of another person who had gotten lost in the same area. It was at least a year old as I recall. In the corpse’s pockets he found a plastic bag with a few matches inside. He lit a tree on fire and the huge blaze brought help in a short time (they thought it was a forest fire) and saved his life.
Yes, that is quite the story! Thanks for sharing it!
That’s a cool way to start a fire 🔥 put some fire crackers in there an you can have a alarm system lol. I hate the way my breathing sounds on a recording also it sounds like a 80 yo smoker in a video but i am perfectly healthy
I myself like hiking flares. Like a road flare just smaller. Ez to get going and will start a fire if needed. This looks very close and should work for the purposes.
Yes
Burns a lot and the flame is unstoppable! I think it's made of chinese lithium batteries, the ones they use in their EVs
The pull start fire would be good to keep in all emergency kits
Great product review. Love this idea. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!
If the wood was dry to start with, and you dumped water on it, wouldn’t that mean the outside of the word is the only part that’s Wet doesn’t it take some time for wood to be soaked all the way through just wondering
Everything about this is perfect EXCEPT the PRICE. I propose Diesel and BIC lighter. And some small branches. Put small branches on ground. Pour diesel on branches. Light it up with BIC lighter. MUCH MUCH CHEAPER. DIESEL will not explode like Petrol/Gasoline, much much safer.
Sure, there are other ways to build a fire.
I'm definitely ordering a few of them 😁
Survivalist Challenge: Can you produce a fire from a spark made by crushing a WINT O GREEN LIFESAVERS MINT❓
No. Triboluminescence doesn't produce enough heat.
Good Evening James, Hope All Is Well.
All is well, hope you're having a good day as well!
About the same price as a 30 pack of beer.The beer won`t dry you out if you get wet and cold.BUT I THINK IT TASTES BETTER!! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Well thanks a lot TH-cam this is a really cool video. I was just leaving a commen. And I guess I wasn't fast enough for TH-cam and they deleted my comment before I was done, and that's not cool in fact that's very messed up. Anyway James very cool and informative video. Thanks, take care.
You're welcome! Glad you were able to get your comment through.
That's awesome. So long as you live in the US. As it's *banned by postal services* around the world. (Edit) Most Postal Services around the world. It gets confiscated and destroyed by Customs (if it makes it to the country unnoticed till that point). Which truly is a real pity. As I agree it could be a real life saver, as you say.
Yes, it is a great item for an emergency fire!
Basically, a roadside magnesium flare in a box configuration. IMO, a reasonable design that beats a feather stick, Hands down!
Pretty much!
A simple Road flare would work just as good.
Not necessarily but they do work well for fire starting in an emergency. They are just a little more difficult to start.
James, you didn't waste your time with your mic explanation. I absolutely noticed what sounded like hard breathing and thought, "D*mn, I figured James would be in better shape than that if he spent much time in the woods. He sounds like I do after bending over a few times". Really glad to hear that you're not decrepit! LOL
Thanks so much!
I just thought your inner pyro was coming out, thats why you were huffing an puffing, lol. Yes a great idea for definetly emergencys, like soaking wet, cold, snow country, could be a lifesaver. Thx for the vid James
You're most welcome!
Interesting product. But my GOD the comment section. I don’t see how you tolerate the trolls and the experts whose fire starting abilities FAR exceed your own…thanks for the content! I would have given up ages ago if TH-cam was a thing for me!
It just goes with the territory. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment!
Numm.. numm.. numm... feeding the algorithm.
Thank you. An impressive Product!!
Indeed and you're welcome!
I saw an old man late 70s early 80s review these for his backyard BBQ pit. He has trouble with lighters and matches now and used one of these and he turned into a lil kid all excited seeing everything burn so fast. Amazing how it burns wet wood, I'd say it would work in rain.
Absolutely!
Hi I was a little concerned about your breathing I'm glad you are ok
thank you for letting us know about this product, a lifesaver for sure !
Thank you so much for the donation and for watching the videos! I really do appreciate the support!
Wet on the outside, dry on the inside, still will burn if you dry it as you are doing there, or you can cut into the wood to expose the dry material, and can keep heat on it to dry the barks and such, but that is IF you have dry tinder. I do that camping here in Texas, because of morning dew or over night sprinkles, before we get into camp. But I like the concept here. it is literally a flair, almost reminds me of he military thermite devices they used in the Gulf War to melt enemy guns and Damage Treads. Defiantly adding this to our backpacks and camp gear as a Last Resort/Emergency fire starter. I like the fact the device become not only the match, but the tinder and the initial fuel for the main fire. 30 Bucks for 6 is a good deal, and it is a no muss, no fuss way to get your fires up and running fast in emergencies. Plus my being 58, there is no telling when getting up and down will become an issue. LOL
Absolutely. It's not something I would use all the time but for an emergency I don't know anything that can beat it.
Hi, About your addendum. I used to have really noisy breathing, The doctor called it a strider sound and that sounds a lot like you. It wasn't in my case a lung or other issue but a narrowed trachea. We did a bronchoscopy and they inflated it back to the proper size and now I'm nice and quiet again.
FYI
Thanks for the info and for your concern!
What was the white thing moving up and down behind you when you talking about matches ? Made me replay the first part over n over ... When you hold up match box u see sum thing move up n down .. was odd...I hope ya didn't catch any one going to the bathroom that would be horrible ... Cuz it looks like a person that keeps squatting down ... I hope you noticed that .....
It's just the wind blowing the leaves. It was quite windy that day.
These are so cool! Having something like this as a JIC seems like a pretty good idea
I think so too!
I have used these a few times to test them. They work great. Too expensive to use all the time but fantastic to have in an emergency. situation
Absolutely!
You should of took it apart and see how it works!
That's basically a firework in a box, it works for emergency but not really bushcraft, a flare would do both ( no i haven't tried it) 👍
Thanks for watching.
Wet wood is not wood that has been immersed 2 inches deep in water for only a couple of minutes.
Quite frankly i don't see what this does which a storm match and a firelighter(🙄) wouldn't do at a 10th of the weight or size (and probably cost too) would do.
It would have lit would that had been soaking for a while. It's quite a lot more effective than a storm match and a fire lighter. It burns for about 30 minutes.
That will be a great addition to a persons kit, whether in your pack, vehicle or even a snowmobile. Every ice fisherman and snowmobile rider should have one. Think how this would save after going in the water and you are shivering so much it is difficult to light a fire.
I know, right? I could see so many emergency situations in which this would be an absolute Godsend.
Crazy Russian Hacker has videos demonstrating these.
Excellent!
This is a great idea. Instead of immediate ignition, a 5 second delay before ignition after pulling the twine would make this a safer product. This would allow the user to move away from the initial spray of sparks.
Yes, that would be a good idea!
My favorite is makeup removers with about 1 part kerosene to 5 part candle wax. Double boiler, melt, put kerosene in, soak them for 3 seconds, pull them out and let them cool
Que idea más original, solo le vi un problema, hay gente con muy malas ideas y esto les permite muchas forma de iniciar incendios sin mucha complicación,
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately, people will always find a way to do bad things.
James, do you know how much these things cost in South Africa? One thousand, one hundred and eighty-nine rand for a pack of three!
I looked it up, that equals roughly 108.00 US dollars!
"I'm gonna show you an idiot proof fire starter; you are gonna like this one"
I'm still figuring out if I should feel offended🤔 😂
Right? No offense meant!
it is a wonderful product, if available.
when will they have more in stock as i went to the link and at this time, there is none available
i would buy 100 of them, when available, to give to folks
I have found out that these aren't available in some countries, depending on where you live.
Similar to flares that used to be used for highway emergencies!
Somewhat. Thanks for watching!
Thanks James. Seems like some sort of magnesium flare kind of thing. Pretty neat.
You're welcome! I'm not sure what's inside of it but it smells like fireworks when it begins.
This could be used with limited physical capacity and maybe when injured too.
Absolutely!
Let's rename this from Idiot Proof fire Starter to Russell Proof Starter.....
Lol! Thanks for watching!
Cool. I'm going camping tomorrow for a few days, it's going to be wet and raining. Could use some of that.
Absolutely. It's just an excellent sure way to get a fire started in pretty much any condition.
❤ how much are those compared to road flares which are also equally pretty indestructible and burn underwater❤
I'm not sure what the price comparison would be.
You've caused them to sell out! Gonna have to wait for restock. Great product.
I guess that's a good thing! However, some of these are not available in other countries as well depending on where you're trying to order them from.
yeah I thought maybe you were running around for some reason, thats why you were breathing hard lol
Thanks for watching!
They need Loren Boebert to do their advertising….Sorta a road flare. She can pull start anything.
Lol
Instead of soaking the wood in a bucket of water, I'd test this product by soaking IT in the the bucket of water for a few hours to see if it works while wet....
That would definitely be an interesting test. Let me know how it turns out.
Empty toilet tissue tube stuffed with clothes dryer lint ,small ,light and free
True.
Any idea if they have a tempiture raiting or shelf life? My family used to keep some emergancy fire starters but they had wax and got to hot in there cases and made a huge mess. Great video.
I'm not sure what the temperature rating is but they do have a shelf life of about 5 years or so, if I'm not mistaken.
silly overpriced gadgets carry a decent f lighter n some magnezuim ribbon lol
I wouldn't say that. It's actually an amazing product.
Be great in survival gear in vehicle during the winter. Thanks for information
Absolutely. You're welcome!
Impressive review James, thanks for sharing, God bless brother !
Thanks, you too!
That would be great in an emergency situation, but also anytime you are dealing with problems building a fire
Absolutely!
In UK we are not even allowed flares they are licensed like guns nice product though
Wow, I had no idea! Thanks so much for watching!
Wow this is good information, thank you. 🎉
You are so welcome!
Looks too dangerous for a person who can't strike a match. They need to stay home. I don't like it.
Thanks for watching anyway!
This is the same reason I carry the small emergency road flares. I’ve started alot or fires in snow, ice, rain with wet wood with miniature road flares.
Excellent. They work well!
So basically it's a flare I've carried flares for a long time. God bless
Kind of. It actually smells like fireworks when it lights off. I'm not sure that it's made from the same stuff as I've never taken one apart.
Thanks for informing
Thank you James this could save someone's life 😊
You're welcome!
So soon “Currently Unavailable”.
Probably.
