If a butane lighter is your only cold weather option, put it in your armpit, next to your skin. When it no longer feels cold, it will light! It definitely is a good kit!!! 🔥💜🔥
@@tjsogmc A bigger problem is if they get wet. They are hard to dry out and won't work until they do. That "peanut lighter" is sealed. I like that! I haven't seen one of those before but will try to find one now! Several if the cost isn't too bad.
That is a great idea but there are circumstances where even the arm pit may not be enough help such as when one falls through the ice into freezing water causing the outside of the body to not radiate much heat. In that case someone told me in a comment on one of my videos about putting the lighter in ones mouth, back end first. The mouth will remain warm even if the body's skin is cold. The mouth is easier to get to as well when one is wearing 4 or more layers of clothes on the upper body like I do when I am cold weather traveling via snowmachine. I have tried the mouth warming and indeed it works well.
I think yours was the first bushcraft channel I ever subscribed to years ago. I’ve spent many many hours enjoying them and learning from you. I always see why I choose this channel every time I watch your videos. The comfort I feel when I’m in yours and Connie’s presence, even by video, is a testament to your character and who and what shapes you. That’s my favorite coat that I see you wear. I have one similar to it. Good heavy duty canvas. Such good stuff here.
Lonnie my hat is off to you for showing what we snow people really need, fire. With fire we can survive almost any conditions, without it we die. Too many videos have everything imaginable except several backups for creating fire and heat and a simple shelter.
No experiments when -really- going into the woods when it's winter, I use to bring non ancient fire helpers too. At home I got an old pot to melt old candles, making carboard strips soak the wax. These are waterproof by themselves then. Butane Jet Lighters, making a non lighting hot flame, are first choice, but they have to be kept warm as described in the video.
Besides being a practical kit ,tailored to your location, it is also very inexpensive. You didn't have anything that costs over a few dollars, yet you have things you really want in an emergency. Being lightweight and compact means you are more likely to actually take it with you on short or long trips. Nothing high tech but highly efficient. Thanks Lonnie!
You indeed hit on a few of the key elements at play here. It is lightweight and compact but efficient enough that I am willing to have it on me and am apt to do so when and if an emergency ever does occur. So many people would look at this and think it is too minimalistic and they would have something that is much larger and needs to be carried in a larger pack. But it becomes unwieldly and inconvenient and ends up getting left behind all too often. Chances are a person might not have it if or when the need arises.
Im a 20 year old theater major i never thought id be watching stuff like this but for some reason i absolutely love these videos. Keep doing what you love Lonnie. You're awesome.
The peanut-lighter is a perfect edc back up. For testing i had one in my trouser pocket (daily for over 6 month!) and no loss of fuel! Butane lighter in winter? refill it with propan (e.g. Greengas for airsoftguns or a propan/butan-mix - like wintergass for camping stoves) I got a small refill adapter from Primus for screw on cartridges and now i am refilling my clipper (or other quality! butan lighter) with Primus winter-gas ( more propan, less buthan in the mix ).

The best way to see how prepared you really are and how good your kit really is is by using it as is as intended. You will quickly find the holes in your kit and weed out the unnecessary items. We do an annual "survival drill" as a family just to hone our skills and help evolve our kits. You'd be surprised what you forgot that is absolutely need and what is just fluff. Great video no criticism ftom from me on your kit just saying as a general rule.
Outstanding! For instance, t.p. can be used for firestarting or its normal use. I am abig believer in testing your kit. Many so called experts never do this. Well said.
Char cloth is not a good choice for a survival kit. It needs to be kept entirely waterproofed so as to maintain it's integrity. If you are going to keep something like that protected in a waterproof container, you might as well leave it home and take matches instead in a waterproof container as they are much more convenient and versatile..
Lonny you are a one of the few on TH-cam that can distinguish between survival and weekend camping . So many think they are in a survival situation everytime they emerge from the basement.
Thank you for sharing again. This morning Shawn James mentioned you and your survival items. He was thinking he could be back to the cabin in about 20 minutes, but the trail got soft and he had to dig out off and on for two hours. He did not have his survival pack because the cabin was close by. After the ordeal, he mentioned he should have his kit whenever he ventures out.
Thanks for the heads up on Shaun's shout out. I went over to his channel and watched the video. I always enjoy his videos when I can watch them. th-cam.com/video/mlCxYMbhI5c/w-d-xo.html
That peanut lighter is a great idea! I finally bought a Zippo lighter a month ago or so, but I've been pretty surprised at how quickly the fuel evaporates.
I thought I was the only one to carry a small flare. It's a great idea, especially if wood is a bit wet. The Super Shelter kit with 3 ways to make fire will get you thru a cold night. Good job. You are a trusted source.
Thanks Lonnie. A great video with your tried and true kit 🙂 can't beat the way you explain everything and the polite and genuine way you speak to your viewers (very much appreciated). Also nice to see someone else who uses a clipper lighter, definitely one of the best butane options for outdoors in my opinion for so many reasons and I tell that to anyone who will listen. Just a quick thought, there's an old fashioned highlander charcoal hand warmer that I've used that might be a good option for your setup, especially in your shelter. You light the small charcoal stick at one end till it glows then close it over and it radiates heat for 6 hours (light both ends for double the heat output and it still lasts 3 hours). The fuel sticks take up next to no room, I carry the warmer and 6 extra fuel sticks in my backpack side pocket when I hike just in case ( potentially 36 hours+ worth of near continuous heat). The fuel sticks I've got are also all individually wrapped and the packaging is waterproof too. Think it might be worth a look.
These are brilliant hand warmers,I live in Scotland and hunt in the winter and I purchased one from a company called Jack Pyke It was the best hunting purchase I’ve made. I really like your idea of lighting both ends. Thanks for that tip. Stay well and God bless. Ash 🏴
Well done, sir! I live in a much warmer climate than you, but my survival pack is almost exactly like yours. The only thing I've done differently is that I have a SAK style knife thrown in the pack just in case I lose or break my primary carry knife and I carry an actual mess kit with a cook pot (the Yugoslavian military issue is my favorite since it comes with a canteen and a fork/spoon). And it's true, you can never have too much string in an emergency...
Thank you for sharing. When my car lighter doesn't want to light in cold weather, I wrap my hand around it and blow gentle. It usually only takes about a minute to warm it up.
Hello Lonnie, Connie, & buck, I dig that survival pack Lonnie. And the road flare will start a fire in any condition. Thank you for all you teach us in survival mode situations!, your the best, love the snow scenery in background way up North there😃👍, From the mossy wet beautiful foothills of the Oregon coastal range, your Amigo Dave D.😊😇🙏👍🗻🌲
I was wondering about you, and why I haven't seen many videos lately. Fire is life, I like you have several ways of obtaining it, especially the road flare. It's easy to understand in your environment if one was to say slip and fall in water, break through the ice, whatever and find themselves soaked in freezing temperatures getting an substantial fire going ASAP would be a lifesaver. I can't think of anything practical that would work better than a flare. I'll be looking forward to you next video, till then, God bless.
Good to see you too! You certainly have fire starting covered and I like the materials for the warm shelter also. The fishing kit is a bonus because I like to fish too.
Great choices all, especially that peanut lighter! I'm going to have to check that one out. If you have success/failure on making your new tent, still share! Folks will still learn from your efforts.
Well done video, I think your the first to not tell me how badly I need a fixed blade knife. I cut up two old bicycle innertubes, into hundreds of ranger band, and they serve as emergency fire extenders.
I used to carry dryer lint pressed into warm candle wax, in a tiny candy mint tin, for lighting fires. Worked great in our fireplace. Birthday candles are good too. Never knew about the leftover plastic. We've moved to the Caribbean, so I don't need much beyond a flashlight, mosquito nets and bug spray.

I like your simple no-nonsense kit. I like your flare/aluminum foil/file as striker/Peanut lighter ideas. I carry a lot of the same things you carry. Seems like some survival folks spend a lot of time talking about the best knife or what ever. Whereas you know how to use your simple gear. 33 years ago I backpacked through the Brooks Range, into Anaktuvuk Pass. Wet wood. Wet/cold. I really would have loved to have had a road flare!
Items I never thought of carrying, but totally GENIUS CHOICES!!! Awesome tips! Also love the Mossy Oak Break Up. Greatest camo pattern ever designed. Outstanding presentation! You continue to ROCK!!! Respectfully, thank you, Sir.
I would have to say that you Sir and Survival Russia are the most real TH-camrs when it comes to bushcraftimg, homesteading. And everything that has to do with it ...it would be nice to have somebody like you in my life to teach me everything they know and for me to lear all their knowledge!!
I also think they’re the two most real wilderness guys out there. I’ve learned a lot about technique and more importantly about mindset of survival. I’m an avid hiker paddler and wilderness camper which is very different from being a competent Survivalist. These guys thankfully disabused me of my Dunning Kruger related misguided confidence in time for my next trip up to Quetico provincial park

Lonnie shows the tools and how to use them, he's not constantly trying to sell the newest gadget like most are. I see bushcraft related channels come up and when new trendy products come out they all obviously get sample items to commercialize and they all become redundant videos among many scrambling to produce about the product first and not the method of using the tool.
Really impressed with the plastic sheet + reflective Mylar shelter system. It makes a lot of sense. If you’ve chosen that system for your survival kit... that says a lot.
I always carry a small pack in the woods even some first aid with a suture kit Incase of a bad cut, because you never know👍❤️ I also carry a small bag of dryer lint, works great with just a spark
Kenny, my heart near-stopped as you leaned forward to blow out that piece of rubber you had lit on fire. All I could see in my mind's eye was your beard going up into a wall of flame! The reason for my mind going there is because I actually witnessed this happening to a fellow camper a few years back... scared the bahjesus out of the other four of us, but HE thought it was funny as all get out!!! As always, very much enjoy your videos. Please keep 'em coming. Michel
Excellent teachings! Thank you again - your calm, logical approach to survival and "bushcraft" is refreshing and of immense help to novices such as myself. Thank you again! May you and your spouse always live in Peace. Preis sei der Schöpfung, der Weisen, der Gerechten. Salome!
Good to see you too Lonnie. One bit of knowledge I have to share about those cheap plastic match cases is the strikers are glued on & have a tendency to fall off.

You are most certainly one of the best bushcraft TH-camrs right now. Thanks much, Lonnie.
You could make a ton of money as a narrator. Just the right voice and temperament. Love the videos.
Bro you got good ears
Health nad happiness in The New Bear.
Rubber kindling...not in a million years would that have ever occurred to me but it definitely Burns and it's definitely waterproof! Genius!
THANK YOU STAY WARM
I think this is one of the best channels of it's genre on TH-cam. No macho foolishness. Resin chewing gum? Been chewing same piece now for 2 years.
Staying warm is the main concern for survival and that’s what’s your kit is all about. 👍🏼👍🏼
Lonnie, starting to rewatch your videos. Prayers to you and Connie. Peace
Love the peanut lighter. Never heard of it before. A definite addition.
I like your choice. They are all functional things, not ornaments. Thank you for show it.
I appreciate your belt n braces approach to fire starting 💥
Lonnie, I'm starting to rewatch some of your old content, I've loved your channel every since I was 10yrs old, Prayers for you and Connie
Thanks for sharing 👍👍
If a butane lighter is your only cold weather option, put it in your armpit, next to your skin. When it no longer feels cold, it will light!
It definitely is a good kit!!!
🔥💜🔥
I've gotten them to work by sticking them down my glove into the palm of my hand to warm them.
@@tjsogmc A bigger problem is if they get wet. They are hard to dry out and won't work until they do. That "peanut lighter" is sealed. I like that! I haven't seen one of those before but will try to find one now! Several if the cost isn't too bad.
Muskrat Outdoors agreed. Lighters have their ups and downs for sure. That's why it's good to have more than one way to start a fire.
That is a great idea but there are circumstances where even the arm pit may not be enough help such as when one falls through the ice into freezing water causing the outside of the body to not radiate much heat. In that case someone told me in a comment on one of my videos about putting the lighter in ones mouth, back end first. The mouth will remain warm even if the body's skin is cold. The mouth is easier to get to as well when one is wearing 4 or more layers of clothes on the upper body like I do when I am cold weather traveling via snowmachine. I have tried the mouth warming and indeed it works well.
My luck- I would swallow the stupid lighter if I put it in my mouth, or choke on it. I would certainly give the guys at the morgue a good laugh.
I always learn from your videos.
Good visiting with you for a few minutes

The coat is a Filson tin cloth Packer coat. Thanks for being such a long time viewer of the channel.

I've had a peanut lighter for years now, only ever check for fuel about once a year, has never ran out fuel. Great thing to keep in your pocket

With fire we can survive almost any conditions, without it we die. Too many videos have everything imaginable except several backups for creating fire and heat and a simple shelter.

Huh the aluminum foil is a great idea, so many uses!
Clippers are awesome and so versatile...refillable!!
Add a large metal cup. Put the plastic roll in the cup. It will take no additional space.
Don't forget that Lonnie has a pair of magic hands to make cooking utensils from his aluminium foil :)

Good to see you too Lonnie. One bit of knowledge I have to share about those cheap plastic match cases is the strikers are glued on & have a tendency to fall off.
Great to see you again. Hope all is well and hope to see another video SOON!
