Waterproof Fire Starters? Which one? 

I'd say the last two fire starters weren't as advertised. Period. He hit those piles with big sparks. God forbid you were in a real survival situation trying to light it with a spark from two rocks or something. The first product worked fine .

yes , I have to get a striker , the back of my knife is not made for that , I'm also tearing up my ferro rod at the same time

@@theghost7083 many people use the back of a knife spine for a striker. like Nathan said u just need to practice technique. 13:05 was your best strike.

The sparks are all the same temperature. The only difference is more sparks or less sparks

Thank you so much I really appreciate it !!!! Thats means alot !!!

Hey great idea! would have to try that one! Thank you for the advice I really appreciate it!

Of course, brother I will get it soon, I will keep you posted

I've been making my own fire rope and fire starters for quite some time. It's not rocket science and they are all made of the same materials. Some natural fiber, soaked and wax 🤷. Including Blackbeard. It's not like they have some kind of proprietary blend that burns longer or easier than any other. They just recently called me out when I called out with their product is and how easy it is to make. Said that they will send me the retail cost of their plunder kit if I could build an equivalent kit under their retail price. I was able to source the materials for that entire kit for under $20🤣 and that was at retail cost. If I went with wholesale pricing and bulk purchasing I could build a crapload of that kit for under 14 apiece, yet they charge 120 retail 🤔. Not saying that they don't work. But they're WAY overpriced for what it is it's just rope soaked in wax. The actual cost of the rope and wax blend is literally just a couple of cents per stick. Most of the cost of the kit comes from the arc lighter and the Ferro rod which are also able to be sourced cheap. Blackbeard isn't all of that and a bag of chips. They are just another fire starter and all you are paying for is the name. Same difference between Nike and New balance. Same materials you just pay for the damn name and people jump on the bandwagon🤷. Not to mention they're non environmentally friendly wrap that they put around the sticks. People don't often pick up their trash when using stuff like this. At least fast fire uses paperboard.

Hey turkeyfootkid ! I appreciate the feedback , I was just doing what each company claimed it can do , Those companies took the fibers and dunked it into water and lit it afterwards , so I was checking if it was really true ,

Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
