    Dave's greatest secret is revealed here: functional thinking. He considers the relationship of objects to each other and his abilities. Dave has worked out in great detail, scenarios, contingencies and how HE would use the item considering HIS skills. Someone without his knowledge, experience, and skills may look at Dave's gear in quite a different way.

    Empty Shoe Polish can. Pick up a cheap bag of Makeup Removal Pads at the store. Coat the pads in Vaseline on both sides, and fill shoe polish can. Shred one up for easy spark lighting material. In a long term situation, when you run out of the pre treated pads, you can pop a hole in the can and have a char tin. Small container that packs flat and has multiple uses afterwards. Love the multiple options in the kit in your video!

    My perfect fire kit includes my pickup truck with a camper top, a chainsaw, an axe, a box of fat wood and cedar bark, maybe a can of lighter fluid, with two or three big boxes of strike anywhere matches and two or three bic lighters. I keep a tarp and chairs, and a cooler with drinking water. I also usually have a good grill shoved up in small stack dry firewood. I have never failed to start a fire with this kit, even in the wettest snow. Texas

    I not a more bright and vibrant presentation in this video. I like it. David there is one thing that I never throw away which is blunt hacksaw blades. There are so many uses for them. I make various tools with them scribing tools, scalpel sharp knives, wood scrapers and more. Pieces of saw blade make great fire starting tools when they have a 90 degree edge plus are real small. I bet you could think of a ton. I always enjoy hearing your awesome fire skills videos. Many thanks.

    For those outside the eastern United States and don't have access to tulip poplar and its beautiful bark, I would like to inform you that regular jute twine is a great substitute for tulip poplar bark. You just need to untangle a piece of twine and beat it by pulling it through the butt of the knife. When dry, it catches sparks of a ferrocerium rod very, very well! It lights up with a bright flame and burns actively.

    Nice kit.
    Good information. It’s easy to see that you walk the walk and actually live the principles of what you teach.
    I’ve been using flint-and-steel since 1969. I have dozens of steels.
    C-steels, U-steels, custom and hand-made steels. Even some that are shaped like animals.
    But none spark as good, and are as multi-useful as, the Pathfinder Steel. That is the one in my main fire-kit.

  • @19ghost73
    @19ghost73 5 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Nice kit, well explained. One caveat: This aluminum mess kit will very likely develop holes while using it to char organic matter because the low melting point of aluminum doesn't fit well to glowing embers. A similar box/mess-kit made from thin stainless steel would do the trick, though.
