I like the one take more natural non edited videos you do better than the others. Like your channel and the product reviews.
I picked up some of this and was showing my daughter how to use the tinder. She took the new lanyard off her knife and was able to, fairly easily while pinching one end, work the tinder strand out from the length of cord in one piece, leaving a perfectly usable piece of paracord lanyard which she put back on her knife. So the paracord does not need to be sacrificed to get the tinder.
I just noticed that Amazon is selling the same brand, 550 Fire Cord for around $12.49 (depending upon color choice) - with free shipping.
I was about to mention that! Amazon actually sells it in three sizes:
300" for $12.49
600" for $24.95
1200" for $44.95
BUT, the colors "Safety Orange" and "Multicam" are only $7.90 for 300"!
I don't have a problem with the cost as I see this as just one more innovative product maybe as time goes on and they've recovered some cost to manufacture they could offer 100' per 25$.
Do a follow up test on this. Let it get wet like its fallen in the creek then let it dry out for a week and see how it sparks up. If it works like it did here. Into the kit it goes. Good review BOO !
Now this is a cool product. Nice on those long trips, just as an extra precaution/back-up. I do wonder how well it retains these burning properties, even after it has been through normal wear and tear, getting wet, drying, getting wet again.
Great review mate,and yes it's very cool,but at that price I think is a nice to have but not a must have bit of kit,Thanks for the review and you honesty.
You mentioned Frederick Maryland, are you guys from Maryland?
Also, you guys should try work out a deal with Live Fir Gear for sending them traffic. Iv never heard of fire cord before but I plan on buying a back now.
This is to those bashing the idea of this Paracord. I know there are better tinder products but this is a survival tool. We usually wear our Paracord in a bracelet or fobs so I think it's a great item to always have with you. I wear my bracelet everyday for the cordage and strength. Now I can carry flammable tinder as well with no worries about not having it if ever needed. I like it.
Great video as always. Now I'm looking for 12 buddies who will split the cost with me for 2 feet of fire cord each!
$24.95 would buy a lot of cotton balls. LOL Good review. I tried this out at a demo and just was not overly impressed with the fire starter capabilities. But then maybe it could have been a bad batch as everyone was having problems getting it to light. I think it has it's pros and cons like all fire starters. The best is that it is a paracord. Thanks for sharing.
Pretty nice feature, like you say Krik - wouldn't hurt to have a hank of this in your kit (dual purpose) or for a key fob or lanyard in case you need tinder
Interesting product. You're right it is costly but as you said zipper pulls and fobs would be ideal uses. It would be great to see how it works wet. Great review thanks for sharing. atb
Cool Product, a bit pricey but handy to have. Cheers mate and Happy New Year from Australia !!
I'm a fan of the fire cord. I got mine off of ebay for cheaper than yours. Just like you said, I have replace other cord applications with it. It holds my neck knife and fero rod. The zipper pulls on my boots and pack. Good stuff. I will keep finding natural tinder when I can, but in an emergency, this stuff might just save me.
Yeah pretty neat stuff you could make paracord braclets out of it
im not sure i would use it for anything but a fire-starter for safety reasons, especially binding flammables. Many cheap or free alternatives out there. But the idea is clever
thxs for the heads up on this...ive never heard of it b4
I think this is a cool product, if it was a bit less expensive I'd try to get some. But I agree with a previous comment, it would be nice to see how it fairs after being wet. :)
You can push the red cord in before you melt it.
cool video guys!! Does it come in other colors? You should see if it is actually rated for 550lbs or make the wool blanket chair out of it!!!
yes it does come in other colors. maybe we'll have to whip up another wool blanket chair to see how well it holds. - stony
Cool product. Nice review!
I'm getting this
I don't really get the idea behind this product. I'd much rather have the inner red cord seperate in it's own bundle, rather than try to make it somehow work within normal paracord. The two cords meant for very different applications didn't need to be mixed together IMHO.
i initially thought this was a silly idea, but using it for lanyards seems like a really good way to make the most of it. i wouldn't want to carry lengths of this to use as cordage and i wouldn't want to carry cordage just for making fire when there are much better options, but that is really a great idea. now i'll have to get some for lanyards. thanks for the review. also, can you burn this in the sheath and with the other strands to make it last longer, or would the burning nylon put it out?
Just started watching your channel good info. have not studied on fire cord yet, how well does it work in wet wet conditions.
awsome review

Excellent material and demonstration but so much of the video is out o focus, it's irritating.
Nice idear but normal paracord burns very well too :)
Price has come down a lot since this.
I bought 30 ft for 7.98 a couple of days ago and that's in expensive Canada.
I want a firesteel like that.
Hopefully you made a video about it but if not may I ask the brand?
It's woodland. The marines corps use that type of woodland color for they're second uniform.
nice
that would be perfect for a knife lanyard! but don't think i would guy a tarp with it.
What's a flint rod? I have yet to nap a ferro rod.
Do you have a preferred brand of fire starting rods?
MAJORFR0 The ones from the Pathfinder store are pretty good. They're a soft rod and inexpensive. The handles come off pretty easy, but it's an easy fix. Some people prefer hard rods, others soft. Which do you prefer? -Krik
Hay what jacket are you wearing in this video?
Unrelated question: What pants are you wearing?
Hey Krik,what is that knife you are using in this one?
Looks like a bark river
It may be a BHK Brumby.
You act like you was afraid of it , fluff it up like a cotton ball , it will light immediately
I got 100ft of 550 paracord for $9.99
He's out in the Cold and Wet to show you Guys Gear and your in a Warm House on your PC Ragging on him, if you don't Like the Demonstration, type in Kittens into You tubes Search and Hit enter, I picked up the 25' Orange Firecord so I know quick which of my Cordage is Firecord and what is not a while back, I Re-Wrapped my Bushcraft Bag's Top Lift Handle and It just taking place of Cordage I already Had on It so Emergency Fire starting is a Bonus, Not sure yet what else Ill use it for.
You should be ashamed, at least little bit, that you don't know that the owner of Live Fire Gear is Adam from Equip 2 Endure - pionir of the job that you doing here! 👊
clever product, but it can't hold a candle (pun intended) to your wax coated cotton balls, especially for the price. Do you agree?
Fuck the paracord best fire starter by far i call it instant fire. strike and it lights proven in the field been around for 100+ years and cost $1.50 THE LIGHTER 🤔🤔😲😲😲😲😰😰
1st!
nice review
I'm guessing firecord is out of business ...............NOW!
It's 2022 and I bought 600 feet of it , assorted colors
Red , black , green ,orange ,
Olive Drab ,
Black went into all my boot strings ,
Wrapped some around my knives ,
Fat Wood lanyards ,
Zipper pulls ,
I have it everywhere ,
I have over 100 Ferro Rods so I can Start a fire anywhere , anytime
Not impressed there are so many other resources that would be further up the chain to use before resorting to buying this stuff. I believe its ideal people come up with what they think are great ideas but they just don't execute very well. This looks like one of those things or after the fact you think about it and say why? There so many other things that can be used and it sure doesnt jump up at you as a easy fire starting material under ideal conditions. If it was tough conditions it would be almost useless I think.
For the price, I don't think it's worth it. Seriously, there are way cheaper and MUCH better that take sparks on the first try. I do like your idea of tying your firestarter kit with some. But $25 for this? I'll pass.
Cool but too pricey
You should at least rehearse , not inspiring when you don't even know the best way to use a fire steel. Quite amusing though.
At least have the tenacity to know how to hold a flint rod. this guy...
Lion's Light What's a flint rod?
Black Owl Outdoors Boy do I regret coming to this page, more of an idiot than I thought . Click link below
Flint - Magniesum- Ferrocerium- WHATEVER
www.amazon.com/Starter-lighter-Ferrocerium-Magnesium-Survival/dp/B00GE3HW0I
+Lion's Light Flint is a naturally occurring rock. Ferrocerium is an alloy. You linked a ferro rod. Never heard them called a flint rod before as flint is a lithic.
OK..
wow friend, I would hate to have such a sucky life as yours.
I love your videos, but OH GOSH, that stupid camera man...is he drunk?
Those super close blurry things he does with the camera, are so annoying :/
Keep it up with the good vids, but please change the cameraman :/
