The Magnesium Flint fire starter can save your life in a survival situation. Small, lightweight, and easy to carry. unlike a traditional lighter, the magnesium flint will work when wet and extreme cold conditions.
Zach, this seems much less natural and pressured for you than when you're working in the garage out fishing. You seemingly chilled out when it was food time. This is good content and you know what you're doing so relax! And enjoy!!
I should add I have one in my bag and one in my pocket every trip I take in thr colder seasons. The one in my bag is sufficient for summer adventures. But then again I carry a bic, matches magnesium and a mini signal flare in different kits and pieces of gear most of the time.
Joe and Zack survival- Such a simple device but in a SURVIVAL situation, it can save your life. Thanks for a great video. So many of us take things for granted, and the basics in survival are a must for every one to know. Thanks again and can’t wait for more to come. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you and your family.
Zach - your passion for everything you do, your love and your commitment to your family are so clear, watching your videos. You have many gifts and I enjoy watching you use them!
Thank you. I came across this in my recommended and so glad I did as I just purchased a magnesium Flint starter a month ago. Very good presentation! Would it be possible you try another video with the starter blade that came with it to see if it works🔥
Hey, you gave me another idea of a video for you. I keep a can opener on my key chains every day. I believe that it's called a P38. They work wonders!!!
Great educational video, everyone needs basic skills especially with the state of our country. There’s a great book called the LOST WAYS, my wife bought it for me, it’s expensive but so educational
Great instructional video Zach. I have a couple of these but never really spent much time with them (the ol' bic lighter is just too easy). Now myself and many others, know the proper technique to get a flame. If either you or your dad has a fire piston, I think viewers would be interested in see that process as well. They aren't as common, but very interesting to use. Have a great Christmas holiday when it gets here. Cheers from Ptbo, ON, Canada.
I agree with you...there are far easier tools to use...outside the bick or strikeanywhere matches. Myself, huge fan of a large , quality Ferro. Shave it....shave birch and or cedar, or cat tail and or pine pitch......gasoline right there. Cheers from Perth ontario
Finally!!!!!! One recommendation, never.....ever...use main edge...that edge can save your life! Your mora; grind the spine to 90 degrees. It will shave magnesium, birch, cedar...and viciously strike flint AND ferrow rods. .....a carbon one will also spark off granite or hard rocks to ignite your char materials Again don't kill your knife edge when you have all the rest of the knife to do the dirty work
Zach, great video! I have one of those as well as a hand made steel and flint set that a good friend made me. I have a fire making kit in my bushcraft pack. That kit contains several ways to make fire. Of course, you had to cook and make coffee, now I am hungry for some fresh deer tenderloin and some coffee! LOL Again, thanks for sharing.

Very instructive and such a wonderful class room choice. So good to see you out enjoying nature. Merry Christmas to you and all your friends and family, too. God bless you all.
Hello Zach great video. Love watching yall videos. Zach can you do a show how to welding video. If you don't mind. I can mig weld but it sure doesn't look good. I want to learn how to make the welds look awesome.
Love the tutorial Zach but I live in Wisconsin and at one time I thought that it was illegal to peel a birch tree? Maybe that has changed, maybe someone else can clear that up for me!
Excellent lesson, Zach. As a Scout council member, we teach the boys all those tricks to stay alive and safe out there. You even taught me a few things here that I can take back to teach. :)
Zach awesome video buddy and definitely well put out there also!! I have always carried a magnesium and flint starter when going out camping or just being in the outdoors!!! They definitely can work very well but if someone hasn’t tried to start a fire with one before it might become a life or death situation it definitely can be very frustrating trying to get a fire started with one!!! It’s definitely a good idea to try using one every time before going out where something could possibly go wrong or you might be away from easy shelter, warmth, and food!! Awesome video buddy seriously and remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!
You can also use pine fat wood for starter even wet. Or carry so Fritos chips great fire starter . I carry fire starter just like that in my backpack. But I also carry a zippo lighter waterproof and wind proof.
Where can I get this??? Every camping/sports store near me always tell me that they don't have it........... maybe it's because of all the homeless people in the area..... smfh, I just want to go camping 🏕 and live of the land.....
Why only one breast? Why add the beef? Partridge (grouse) tastes nothing like chicken. I appreciate you branching out and trying something new but show us the whole process. For all we know that bird is in your freezer and you cooked chicken.
Well Curt, you must be new around here or you would have never made these comments. As for the rest, you were never a scout were you? As for what that bird tastes like, it can taste different to different people and once you add seasoning it goes to a whole other level. Here’s hoping that your mood improves.
I cooked both breasts, and I didn't expect to get anything on my way out, but as luck would have it, I got a grouse. But I had the beef with me. I do have a video of me cutting up the grouse, ect, but I don't think it's necessary to show. And yes, it tastes like chicken. Your opinion might be different, but honestly, I'm not too concerned about what you think because I was actually there.
