How about Vaseline and cotton balls as a fire starter?
@rjstewart
@rjstewart Год назад
@@DEATH-THE-GOAT my wife has one of those wax melting scent things in the bathroom. Once the smell has worn out I dip cotton balls in it on one side and then vaseline on the other side.

@@rjstewart that was some great advice. I was only thinking of lighting a fire, you made me think of the beauty in simplicity to make us feel more human again. We don't just need shelter, warmth and water, we need beaut, poetry, pleasent smells of roses, pine resin, rosemary and good food and drink. was talked to my brother about prepping and how to survive. He is aa artist, painter, and an architect. He don't like to hear about "the end of the world" and "Armageddon". So I quoted President John Adams *_"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain."_* He answered "I don't wanna learn about survivalism and war" _"That's why I do it so you can study archetectur, painting and poetry"_ But he's a foolheaded person so I don't think he got the message. Which is "I bear the burden of human evil so you can be free and enjoy life". Even if Jesus died for our sins, he could never bear the burden of the evil of human free will, if you want to put it in a religious context.

@steve_put_this_here Год назад
Just as cheap, equally effective and less stinky: mix equal amounts of fine sawdust and Crisco (shortening). I find a small glop of that smeared into a pine cone (or directly on a bunch of twigs) is a great go-to. Or, just keeping the Crisco straight works great as well using the pine cone trick. The advantage there is you have prime material for fire starting, making a survival candle AND having a great cooking grease.
@WayPointSurvival
@WayPointSurvival Год назад
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
@johnmoore5293
@johnmoore5293 Год назад
Best thing about this is the redundancy of your body being able produce heat by eating the crisco. In a true emergency you need to carry calories to survive. I have corn chips in my car. You can eat them or burn them. I might change to Frito flavor twist - good shape for fire starting.
@steve_put_this_here
@steve_put_this_here Год назад
@@johnmoore5293 Fritos do burn and burn well! Certainly a notch or two more nutritious and better tasting than eating pure vegetable shortening! I had to look that one up, and veggie shortening does pack about 110 cal per tablespoon. The downside is the absolute lack of any other nutritional value. Although if I'm lacking in calories, that Crisco might be a thing to keep you going an extra day.
@FurtiveSkeptical
@FurtiveSkeptical Год назад
Still stinks. Vaseline infused cotton balls in a baggie or rigid tube container. Always works even soaking wet, chap stick substitute, quickie water repellent for small things, burns hot, never takes much to get going. Use what you like of course, but the Vaseline/cotton ball is so elegantly simple and cheap without all the stink of kerosene.
@Huntnlady7

Yes, but the Crisco is less flammable in extreme cold. I used some with a wick as candles to heat my beehives, but a hard frost also puts the candle out when the Crisco forms a hard shell.

I feel the same about fero rods. In an actual survival situation you may be wet and shaking and heading toward hypothermia.

I’ll pull out a lighter and petroleum jelly and make a quick tinder pile and get warm.

My personal preference is either vasoline- or wax-soaked cotton balls or pads! And of course, tea candles because if you only need a little light than one (plus) will do. Adding a cotton ball or pad on top of the tea candle makes it stove fuel (good with Esbit stoves as well as canteen cup stoves) or a much brighter candle ( though shorter lived)!

sawdust instead of ash works well. It may absorb more kerosene than ash (I've never used ash) so I'd let it soak in a covered container for a day or to before loading the tube. I've just kept it in a tightly covered container with a little scoop and add more kerosene if it gets crumbly. Some people do the same thing with paraffin and form it into egg cartons, but that's a lot more work than kerosene. Diesel can be used instead of kerosene, but it has more smell.

Great video thanks. My favorite backpacking and canoeing stove is my old Optimus 8R. The only problem with it is that in the 70s when I bought them you could buy tubes of starter, you put some of the starter paste in the bottom of the stove to heat the burner which would then draw fuel from the tank without pressure. I've been carrying cans of sterno as starter. It's minus 15 degrees today so this will be a good day to try this. Looking forward to following your site.

Just a word to the wise: it’s important to pay attention to how those tops screw back on the silicone containers, because while they are intended to be leakproof, if the silicone rim of the tube is squashed under just that bit too much pressure once the cover goes on, they can leak pretty badly. So maybe give it a quick squeeze once the cover is on to make sure that you don’t end up with combustible paste contaminating the contents of your pack.

Brilliant - I recall another old video where the author made these fire starters with compressed sawdust - but course this is so much better & in an emergency will get a fire going instantly. We have all been caught out where we need an instant fire for safety or warmth.
