The Ultimate Bushcraft/Prepper Firestarter? Home made. Cheap. 100% Waterproof and Reliable 

High in fiber. Wipes the intestines clean.

And the best thing is these biscuits have indefinite shelf life

A nice, low calorie snack

They last forever because no bugger wants to eat them.

Constipates me, can't eat more than a couple.

Rock you're welcome, mate. Glad you liked them!

I'm going to the Dollar Tree and get me those items to make them. Even the Pringle Can!

@@GMCCrafts you be from Bristol I recons

@@dianablanke2543 l went today and just finished making them. I’m waiting for them to dry on my wax sheet!

Mike Arthur that's awesome! They really are a fantastic bit of kit. So cheap to make, too.

i use a baking sheet then just layer the parchment paper with 25-30 of these per layer. i make 200 at a time. i call them "bend and lights"

I've used plain old melted paraffin wax and wood chips but didn't think of makeup pads. Great idea.

Perfect I was going to say that. I use pringle containers for lots of things. I big one will hold a pair of socks,a t shirt and a pair of undies. Small or big I store saltine crackers in keeps them from getting crushed. My sewing kit is in one,my water purification kit is in one, my lean to stakes and cordage is in one. What also works is the plastic nestles quik containers. I use one for my first aide kit.

Or use the Pringles. They are oil soaked and they burn. lol However, Fritos are the best for firestarting. ; D

Lays STAX is a similar brand to Pringles, but they come in a plastic tube that is far more durable and washable than a cardboard Pringle's can. You can also remove the label, so you have something more attractive. They aren't in every store, but they do seem to be available at Dollar Tree, which is a a better buy at a dollar than like, $3 at a regular grocery store.

@@ycplum7062 Because "FRI-tos" have "FIR" already in them... all you need to add is the "E" -- like ENERGY ... BEST

Or just throw the crappy pringles in the garbage where they belong lol

Gaz Pyrotechnics glad to hear it, my friend!

Gaz Pyrotechnics they are.i use them alot.i have a few variants but all basicly use the same material.one i really like i make is a rope that uses a cotton core,braided jute shell and dipped in wax.once the tip is burned in it takes a spark easier.practically a very slow match.and speaking of matches,try wrapping a half a square of toilet paper around a match,keeping the match head clear but in contact.coat that in wax.2 to 3 minute burn times and lights as easy as any match.same thing,water proof and burns like 4 matches put together.and if you only use half a squar of tp and just give it a quick dip in wax,dont soak it,you wont get wax dripping when you light em.that combanation seems to be perfect.wax burns completly with no drips.give them a try bud.

I think you are correct...I used them all last year for camping and they never let me down. They usually burn for 15 minutes at the least

GMC Crafts: I just found your channel , I am completely impressed by the ease of making those fire starters and how well they work. I will do them this week, thank you.

@faultroy just saw your comments... It's not really work. The issue with your method for me is that not only do you have to carry the 3 items, but you have to do it seperately, then assemble on the go... And vasolene is messy to say the least. Plus, if your pack got wet... I wouldn't want to rely on sodden jute and cotton. This is a clean, tidy, waterproof item. And you can make a batch of 300 in an hour... I'd say that's about 2 years worth of you're out every single day. Hardly time consuming. :)

Is the added lighter fluid worth it?

@@pedroclaro7822 Maybe. Maybe not. I'd say it's worth the tiny amount of effort it is

I just wonder if lighter fluid is necessary. I suppose it would make it burn hotter and faster, but it seems like it puts out a pretty good steady heat as is.

Me too. Kid called them jesus cookies when she was small lol!

@@michaelkaiser1864 me 3 LOL. That's why I clicked coz I wanted to see how a communion wafer would start a fire.

@@babygrandma8654 glad I'm pagan or i might be going to hell for blasphemy LOL! Personally, i think JC has a sense of humor :)

I bet that would be a mistake you'd only make once. It would take about 20 minutes to chew through all that wax before you could even start on the cotton. 😁

crockpot with 2 liners.

Yep..i use an old tin can from beans in a pan of boiling water.

Oh you poor uneducated people. Paraffin melts at 150 F and ignites around 350 F. Setting the temperature below 180 F, which is the simmering point of water, safely melts it and negates the fucking around with a pan of water and waiting for it to heat up so the wax can heat up after that. Of course, the direct burner method takes patience and finding the setting on your burner that water simmers and resisting the urge to turn it up higher to make it melt quicker. You turn the dial up too high and you damn well bet it will burst into flames. I've melted 20 lbs or more of wax over the years and not once has it flared up. A few times it started smoking, but it was a simple matter of calmly taking it off of the burner and letting it cool while I lowered the burner heat. One thing none of you bothered mentioning is to have a damp towel nearby as a safety. That is more important than anything.

@@angelus_solus Oh you poor sad unsaved soul. Do you feel better now?

@@angelus_solus dick

Just make a few more u tube accounts, you could thumbs up for days!

Wonderful! Exactly what I was looking for - thank you!

Wait thath was your first video 😲 Bro rhath is amazing!

Maybe start a fire with one please.

@@danlux4954 did you watch to the end? He did

Apple Stump Bushcraft Stuff and Things a

Apple Stump Bushcraft Stuff and Things search for thinking survival if you like altoid survival kits, his video will change your perception

@@thewhitebackground Thanks. I'll check it out. More options are always better than fewer options.

Apple Stump Bushcraft Stuff and Things I used to carry a micro kit but I watched his vids and I now carry what I call a “small needables” kit

@@thewhitebackground I watched about half of it, and then had to go do some chores. I'll catch up on the rest later, but I see where he's going with that. I have one for my wife's car that is about 2.5 x bigger than an Altoids tin and is close to what he built, minus the ranger bands and gusseted water bag(s). Good stuff there! Thanks for referring me over. Cheers.

You can add some lighter fluid to the wax too.

mister smith Cheers man. Nice to know people like the vids :-)

Excellent! It'll make a great little project.

Honestly, from the thumbnail, I thought they were communion wafers.

Disco biscuits...

I do the same, the wax from my experience has melted on me and made a mess.

What is your recipe? I had an old candle and made 6 , they worked ok , then I got some big candles from home bargains and they dont light so easily, do you have an addative you use ?

@@oldfart9287 I haven’t made these but I make lots of candles and I would think paraffin would be a nice cheap wax to use you find it in the canning section of your grocery store

Crisco vegetable shortening - light, heat and fry bread. Cotton makes good tinder, though.

Added advantage: you have Vaseline for minor cuts, chapped lips etc.

I still use cotton balls and Vaseline too but I bet these are much better to handle.

these are reusable

That's old school and effective but this is way cleaner top carry

Thankfully in the UK, we don't have to worry about Florida heat. :) It's a problem. I'd quite like to have, though!

Store it in water.

cool and crazy concept

I see your point, but it's a bit Americentric. Wherever you go, you might have to change your methods. In the UK, a lot of Florida-based methods probably won't work as well, because our climate is generally much colder and wetter. Wet gear will stay wet for a lot longer, so it's worth doing whatever you can to keep it dry.

Walter Johnson well obviously you don't need such an extreem fire starter there! You only need a dam magnifying glass

a great excuse to buy a new gas camping stove 'well love you said not to use your cooker again so I bought this because I respect your option' :) Nothing like using a woman's words against her lol !

@@DarrenMalin you should start a RU-vid channel on just that, getting away with it using her words lol 😁 million dollar idea right there

@@mickeybonez8950 lol :)

Boy, you can't stress that tid-bit of information enough!

This wasn't just for him but for anyone else trying his neat little trick.

Wow, don't know what crawled up your ass and died but good on ya for exploding on a youtube comment intended as a tip and not a "I'm going to teach you everything you little shit". If you really saw my comment as rhetorical nitpickery then there's no more to talk about, you're looking for an argument. You won't get one here.

Geez, really . . . somebody crapped in his corn flakes apparently. i got your point . . . you simply added to what the guy had already said. Lots of projection on his part; the "self-appointed member of the safety sally police" comment especially . . . . you uttered 2 sentences and he responded with a condescending treatise lol!

martin you read my mind and dont mind steppenwolf he is a complete tool that seems to think he is an expert on everything your comment was spot on

I literally agree, literally.

Actually he meant makeup pads because they are different than a bore patch.

He did not want to be BANNED BY RU-vid and the other NAZIS on the internet....

@@AlCatrraz Fair point...all I will say is parler.com

Makeup pads have a thicker quilted quality, can buy them where they don't even sell sporting goods, and are cheaper. I keep a pack in my gun cleaning kit. I have coated them with gun oil and powder residue then used as fire starter.works great too.

Gold star for the special snowflake.

In bristol UK we call that a frying pan, sometimes they are sold as woks. What's a skillet 😄
