When it's wet particularly, or anytime really, building your fire on a sheet of aluminum foil keeps the moisture from coming up out of the ground and also reflects heat back up into the center of the fire to keep it going.
love these walmart pickups and budget gear videos. When I first got into bushcrafting and just camping in general I was very intimidated by gear prices, at the time I didnt have a dream of affording any premium gear. Its important to show people that you dont need million dollar kit to enjoy the outdoors. Even if its just some firestarters! Cheers Walker.
Thanks!
Real conditions test - great perspective, well done presentation. Stay warm Walker (you always do).
Great to see you around these parts brother!
Agreed
Man cold rain is so nasty and yet you're still smiling. I guess you can't keep a good man down. Excellent review.
Thanks!
You are a good natured, practical and down to earth guy and your videos are a pleasure to watch.
Why, yes, yes he is. I agree.
Thanks!
Them fire cube look like they work pretty damn good give me the nice cozy fire in that wet cold unforgiven Forest hell of a good job Walker I always enjoy watching your videos
Thanks!
It’s nice that people are trying to save a few bucks (having read comments). I get that. BUT this is not about what is cheapest, but what works the best. This is prewrappped, handy, and you KNOW it will work. I would suggest that if someone has an idea to make your own fire starter, to try it out BEFORE you find yourself in a life threatening situation. This is about saving your life, not saving money. I posted this video on a website I follow about a young man who disappeared in WA state hiking the PCT. if he had had this he might still be with us today. I hope it saves lives. Thanks for the great demo!!!
Thanks!
You are absolutely correct. A cold rain will chill you to the bone like nothing else.
True. That's the weather which has always put the hurt on for me the most. It can happen anytime of the year and catch a person off guard. Thanks for watching!
I recently just started watching your videos, and I've loved every one I've watched. I am not an outdoor / camping person (As a Redhead the sun hates me), although I love watching someone having fun doing what they love. Your videos are informative and awesome to people wanting tips, but for me it's soothing just to watch you set camp and do your thing. I've had many anxiety issues that you've helped me through because of your videos. Thank you for your content, it's helping more people than you think :)
Thanks for watching. That makes it worth while.
I keep a couple of these and the Zip fire starters as well in my fire kits. I did a comparison between the Duraflame and the Zip... no major difference; both take off like a beast and they both last a very long time. Everyone should pickup some of either or both at Walmart. Awesome firestarters!
Good info and thanks for watching!
I miss his vids and talking to him online. Kevin was a good guy.
I had not thought of using a bark “roof” in wet weather. Good idea.
Yeah there a great product thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
We collect our dryer lint, compress it in a pail with a weight, mix in saw dust. Come camping trip just take a zip lock sandwich bag and mix about 1/2ounce of kerosene with a handful of the sawdust/lint mix. Best fire starter
Kevin, nice job and I will pick some up.thanks.
Thanks!
@@MegaWoodswalker I assume they work with Ferro rods by crumbling? I mean....I. Really hope so...
@@tikkidaddy Not part of this test but can try it. Thanks for watching!
@@MegaWoodswalker oh I get it...just askin! No problem man. I gotta admit I like those. I'm an old fatwood pack rat, and I make my own fire plugs out of different things coated in old candle wax. Always looking. My IRL friend Pierre makes Stone Tinder, great for fire pistons. I caught the spark from Les Stroud, Cody and Dave and never looked back. Great video.
@@tikkidaddy It's cool brother. Fatwood is fantastic. Rare around my woods but was sent a pile. Hydrocarbon rich like birch bark.
Great video, nice to see someone really in the rain with wet... truly wet... material making fire. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
You can cut the tabs up to make them last longer too. Small Ziplock bag or plastic soap container thats airtight.
Thanks for watching.
Good idea to have on hand for really crappy conditions.
Awesome review once again, Kevin. I'm going to look for these. Thanks! Hope you didn't catch a chill!
Thanks!
Great video, I carry at least one of those in my kit. You can also cut off a piece or crumble them up to get more uses out of one under less distressed conditions. 👊. I purchased several boxes that were marked down at my local Wally World.
Just like a cube of WetFire in that regular I would imagine. I did want to test one with a ferro rod as well. Thanks for watching!
Good test Kevin. Those starters did the trick. Nasty weather cold and rainy. Thanks and take care.
Thanks for watching!
Coghlans Fire Paste works great.
Burns 1,000°F. Dries out wet wood fast. Burns for 15 minutes. Can light it flame, matches, sparks. Great stuff.
If that's the stuff in the metal tube once it leaked all over the insides of my pack. Other than that I do remember it working well. Thanks for watching!
Yeah its in a tube. I keep the tube in a plastic soap container. To keep it from getting crushed/bending and rupturing. Along with fire striker/steel.
That's what happened to me. The tube got bend over and over then leaked during a very hot day. A plastic container is a good idea and a multi use item.
Fantastic! Great fire on a rainy day. I have used the brick size fire starters from the same company. Great way for a lazy man to start a fire of nothing but split wood, no Tinder.
Thanks for watching.
Your quite right. That's killer weather. Particularly for the unprepared.
Totally. Thanks for watching!
Something about the fire I love it,
I agree!
When it’s been raining before I go camping I started sitting my wood next to the fire or on a rack over the fire. It helps dry it out more before I throw it on the fire. I just keep rotating it out to dry as much as I can.
I went and tried these. They are awesome ! I have more ways of starting fires, not relying on one way. But these things are well worth the price. Went out and bought several more boxes.
good fire pit.
good product i carry a fat candle ill now improve my formula and add some of that product.
thank you
Sounds good and thanks for watching!
Very nice item. Really efficient. 👍
Thanks for watching.
Great video. Thanks for enduring the elements for us.
Thanks for watching.
Hey Kevin, looks like a very good firestarter. Thanks, I'll have to get me some of those!
Thanks for watching!
Hey Walker their awesome I've used them most of winter up till now 👍👍
Cool! Thanks for the info.
Hey Kevin,
I know that it appears that I had not been watching, but just unable to comment. O.K.....Another immensely relevant video and full of practical application of readily available and affordable products. In fact, I have been wanting to try THIS fire 🔥cube,but health issues got in the way.
Great video✔✔✔
🏁🏁
Thanks for watching!
Fire in the Rain!!! here for the flame but got hooked by a great title!
Walmart has some decent camping stuff
I think so as well. Thanks for watching!
Shelter and fire are the #1 priority in a survival situation.
Nice Masonic fire Worshipful. Duraflame has always been a go to for me....thanks for sharing Worshipful !!!!!!

The Alabama Bushcrafter
Thanks brother!
Those block work great. But there will be those "YT Bushcrafters" who will disapprove, saying ya need to use natural material. Well, I for one want a fire now, not 1-2 hours from now.
Another thing I like to carry is a small ziploc bag or pill bottle of wood pellets. They are cheap, fairly light and light pretty fast. They help keep the fire going as you add wet wood.. Walmart Bushcrafting, I like it!
Very true. I always pack 3 modern ways to start a fire and tinder. Thanks for watching!
Nobody cares if you use fuel cubes or other modern conveniences, but it's a good idea to know how to start a fire without them
Good one Kevin. Been missing your videos. Thanks for sharing brother.
Thanks Brother.
Always fun and informative stuff!! Love your videos!!! Blessings 🙏
Thanks for watching!
I just got one at Walmart today 👍 Nice video
Might be adding those to my pack. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
WALKER, out there doing “IT” 👍🏻
Thanks!
I'll have to get some next time for add on to some of my fire kits....always a challenge to get fire started in rain or sloppy snow days
Haven't seen you post any videos in a while, Brother.
Hope you and your family are doing well.
Good job, Walker! Maybe we can find some sacred bacon survival cubes for emergencies. You know, for spiritual survival.
I used to be able to find compressed bacon bars back in the day. It was cooked and sort of shredded bacon pressed into little bars, and pretty good, but not sure how sacred they were. Haven't seen those in years.
😂
nice emergency addition to the fire kit.
That’s what I did after shooting this video. Tossed 4 in my Camping fire kit. Thanks for watching.
Great testing,well done
Thanks brother!
Very cool, you and that stuff did the job. Yep, cold rain is probably worse............you know it’s coming.........the one thumbs down, probably just burned their thumb on a waffle iron.
LOL! Thanks brother!
Very good video My Friend!👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching.
I just buy the full sized duraflame log and cut off a piece, then finely chop it with my knife before striking my fire steel. I get the logs for $2.29 and they're at least 25 times as much duraflame as a pack of the cubes.
That sounds good! I actually picked up a few mini Duraflame log/firestarters and was debating doing another video of this type but might wait for a fire during a hard snow storm. It's a shrunk down little Duraflame log even with the same wrapper and lighting points. Made me chuckle.
Yup, I only use duraflame material in high winds, snow or pouring rain.
Always AWESOME 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
I love the fire starters I use all the time
Thanks for watching!
Nice job brother 👍🏽👍🏽😎🔥🔥🔥 best wishes friend
Thanks for watching!
Cool, thanks for the review!
They work very well we use them alot
Thanks for watching!
MegaWoodswalker no problem I like watching your channel. When I’m broke as hell I’ll binge watch your channel from the beginning to current. I try to stay current on your channel. One day I’d like to visit the AT in your area and get an autograph on my OR hat.
Thanks man great video
Awsome .I use the webber fire starters big box like 4 dollars they allso work great .
Thanks for watching!
Only need 1.... Work great
I agree. One would of done it though part of Walmart survival is going with the assumption the person has few skills and is reading the instructions. I bet most fires could be started with 1/2 a cube. Thanks for watching.
Damn! 40°, raining and you're out there testing firestarters? I'm impressed! Like and sub from me! Also, buying a box or 2 of those babies for my car car kit!
Thanks for watching!
So many more subscribers 😊👍 loves it 👍😊
Yea. Kinda surprised me as well. Now I gotta do the 20k GAW faster than expected. Thanks for watching!
I keep a container of those in my pack just in case for wet weather or for a quick fire start
Thanks for watching.
@@MegaWoodswalker thank you for the acknowledgement I highly appreciate that also you might want to make a video on the the fire starter sticks that look like wood I can't remember the name of them I also carry some of them for a quick fire I believe they're used for a fireplace or grill again thank you
Damn. Pretty good.
Thanks for watching!
Try lamp oil from walmart. It works to, may be cheaper.
Liquids and the inside of my pack doesn’t mix. That’s a me problem as never properly screw tops back on. Olive Oil and Alky fuel accidents comes to mind. Sure it would work though and thanks for watching.
It looks like a big solid fuel cube for a stove. Is it the same ingredients?
I am not sure but did notice a similar product in Walmart which looked the same. Thanks for watching!
Nice video, Walker. Will the rain ever end???
Sunny today and then a thunder storm. 🙄 thanks for watching!
They will boil water in 10-15 minutes using a usgi canteen stove.
Looked like a little poison oak or ivy in that one quick shot
Totally possible. Thanks for watching!
MegaWoodswalker lol went and ordered some to try next elk hunting in rain snow 👍🏻
Since you have done reviews on both the UCO Sweetfire and these Duraflame Firestart cubes, which of the two would you prefer or choose now based on your experiences?
Thanks for the test! I'm now totally sold on them. I like that they are individually packaged. On another note, will you be considering a backup knife to keep in your survival kit?
Yes. There is a bright green Mora LMF knife in the PSK. A cheap plastic poncho as well. I just elected to not use them for Walmart Survival. It’s a recurring theme in the video series. Thanks for watching.
Love it! Does it snow were u are?
I recommend, you don’t even need lighter fluids
Thanks for watching!
👍👍👍👍☺
Thanks for watching!
We used to call the little dead twigs from low down on the trees "Squaw wood", but I suppose that's politically/racially incorrect these days. Anyway, when it's rainy and wet and there's no birch bark to be found, I go straight for the Squaw wood. Done right, I generally don't need the fire starters. Those worked quite nicely though. Thanks!
I have heard the term and I don’t judge. Thanks for watching!
Will the ferrell rod work with the DuraFlames?
wondering what is inside the cube any fiber?
That's not a fire, that's a flamethrower!
Good gawd, who let this guy outa' the home?
And I can't get the fire in my home fireplace to stay lit. 🤦🏻♂️
Can you use those instead of the esbit cubes with an esbit stove?
I do.
Not sure about you ...
What do you prefer Armytek wizard pro or Elf c2?
USB wizard has a charger rate is 1A vs .5A plus the XHP50 is brighter. However both are good.
You could have purchased a functional tarp from Wal Mart for an additional $10.
I could have purchased many things at Walmart including rain gear, a tent or even a grill. Thanks for watching!
@@MegaWoodswalker --I hope you didn't have to spend the night there in the cold rain, unsheltered
I didn't spend the night as the video shows me hiking out. I am not spending the night. Said so in the video. That's not the point of the video. I am not saying don't pack a tarp. There is a poncho in the PSK. I am simply doing a test of a firestarter in difficult conditions. Practicing skills using limited kit is good because you may not always have a shelter etc etc. Stuff happens . It's not complex.
Is that poison ivy?
Those things did the impossible.
Thanks for watching!
Paying to light a fire... next they'll charge us for drinking water.
Thanks for watching!
You built a fire in a ready made fire pit (oh how lucky) and you are on the wrong side. Stay on the upwind side.
its a noreaster its a noreaster......rain
Thanks for watching!
@@MegaWoodswalker I was quoting a comic. His skit was that there is no normal weather anymore. He was building from the El Nino craze in the 80s.
@@sheadjohn I prefer "Polar Vortex". Used the term in a few videos as it's funny.
😂😂😂😂
Thanks for watching!
Just another one of the fine toxic camping options Walmart has to offer.
😂 Thanks For Watching.
foolishness
Thanks for watching regardless.
