      Looks like a decent fire starter, unless it gets wet. I took a nice chunk of good pine fatwood, almost see through, and made a handle for a ferro rod out of it.. Just shave off a few shavings from the handle, lights easy every time even if you get it wet.

    If you pull the rope out of the tube part, you can use it to blow air to your fire. There are even rectractable fire tubes or pocket bellows built for that purpose, which could added to the kit. However my idea for the DIY project is to modify somewhat silly novelty item, extendable roasting fork, which has similar radio antenna tube. First you should find version where the fork part is screwed on into antenna so it could be removed. Then the wooden handle should be drilled open to form a tube. Wooden handle doesn't matter because it could be scraped as tinder if necessary and when it runs out the new handle could be made from fatwood..

    • @WayPointSurvival
      @WayPointSurvival  ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Yes. It would indeed make a good tube for blowing the fire. I do have a video where I talk about making improvised fire tubes which are also known as a pocket bellows as you mentioned.

    • @Olyphoto7

      I made a “pocket bellows” with a broken selfie stick I picked up at Goodwill, works great and was super cheap and easy.

    • @cindyharbert553
      @cindyharbert553 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I’ve loaded up on old car & home radio antennas at our local thrifts over the last 3-4 years, to use as pocket bellows. I use a flaring tool to flare out the end I saw the tip off of, so that it is easy to re-extend, once it has been collapsed. I give them to my family & friends who are bush crafters or want them for their bug out bags.

    Nice bit of kit. Only thought is - keep it dry. That combination of Aluminium, ferro-cerreum rod & steel striker is going to corrode super fast with any moisture at all & the Jute will absorb it. So do keep it super dry !

      @@WayPointSurvival I was thinking the same thing. I like this, but man it's big. Maybe try making one from smaller 3/16" diameter steel brake line with double flared ends for easy feeding of smaller jute, and then epoxy a smaller ferro rod to the brake line. Make the whole thing maybe 2" long and now you have something that can fit almost anywhere and still do the job you need. Since it's so small, any striker will work, and it doesn't have to be half a pipe or tube. I mean a cut down hacksaw blade gives you a hard striker, with the teeth to fray the jute if you need to and you have a hole in the blade to attach it to the jute. Heck, I think I might have talked myself making one for myself. haha Keep up the great work.

    Great video of a new product. An interesting variation of ferro rod and tinder. Personally I like the Holland's lightning strike fire starter. I have added an upgrade to my tinder recently. I bought the fiberglass wick used in tiki torches and the like and fill an old spice bottle or similar with lamp oil for the torches. I cut 5 or 6 wicks to the length of the spice bottle and immerse them in the lamp oil and seal the lid. The fiberglass wick is not consumed by starting a fire. You can let it burn as long as you need to then remove it from the fire, extinguish it and put it back in the bottle of lamp oil for the next use. It will wick up the oil and be ready for the next use. It is very easy to ignite. You can use a ferro rod or Bic lighter to get it going. My new favorite tinder. Hope this idea helps somebody.
