The Best Survival Fire Starters - One of Them Floats!

welcome to corporals corner today I want to talk about a cup of really cool flam extenders for inclement weather so stick around when everything is dry the lightning a fire is easy but what if you're dealing with damp or marginal tinder like this bundle right here [Music] [Music] [Music] if that's the case and all else fails you may have to rely on blend extenders and accelerants so I thought today why not show you so my top choices for wet weather fire-starting let's get to it the first one we can talk about it's called fatwood sometimes referred to as fat lighter or light or not it comes off the landscape and doubles as both a flame extender and natural accelerant the easiest way to find fat wood is by simply locating the red pine I know this is a red pine right here by the gnarly bark as well as the amount of needles red pine has too while white pine has five now harvesting fat what can be done a couple of different ways one popular method is to look for a low-hanging branch and cut it off as close as you can to the trunk another method is simply find a dead standing tree or one that's fallen over and cut a piece off as close as you can towards the bottom [Laughter] if that one has that dark orange or reddish color combined with that rich turpentine smell to process my fat would all I do is grab a knife with a sharp nyira spy on the back like there's more bushcraft black I'm gonna take my fat wood and scrape it back and forth so then taking your tinder you can get that started and then move into pencil led pencil finger and thumb sized sticks and once those flames get above the current fuel source you can add more now the main goal with any fire if you want that fire to be sustainable meaning I can walk away without any fear that going out the next option I want to talk about our mini infernos from the self-reliance Outfitters the mini infernos are 100% cotton discs that are impregnated with wax as well as an accelerant making them waterproof and giving them a burn time of five to seven minutes these are very simple use all you I do is tear one in half expose those fibers I can light it using the bic lighter or Pharaoh cm rod moving right along the next one is extremely unique it comes in three different blends and they call it pyro putty pyro putty can be purchased in a two ounce ten or half ounce ten and has three unique blends summer winter and eco-friendly it's 100% waterproof flame extender and accelerant where a nickel size ball will burn for six to ten minutes now we talked about pirate party being unique here's a couple reasons why first off I can actually mold it to a stick which is actually kind of cool now I'm gonna take that stick and drop my tinder I'll place it inside that fire lay it's pretty good to go by itself but the next reason and I think is the coolest is it actually floats and last but not least this one right here deserves an honorable mention and here's why we carry in our kit it's part of our 10 C's and that's ordinary duct tape all we got to do grab an 18 inch piece and roll into a cigar shape now here's the true beauty of this method right here it's very cost-effective why because you already carrying the duct tape 1/2 inch roll about 18 inches in length will give you anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes of burn time welcome back wet weather flame extenders are outstanding now I showed you the fatwood first and here's why it's always good practice to make your fire 100% off the landscape and why is that because it conserves your resources for when you truly need them now as usual all the gear in this video can be found my Amazon influencer page except the minion Pharaoh's by self-reliance Outfitters to get these go on the self-reliance now at our website completes your shopping and use the discount code pathfinder 10cc just to give you a 10% discount on everything in that store let's also link to both those sites inside my description box now please do me that favor hit that like and subscribe button then ring that notification bell once you ring that bell please select all notifications and as always thank you for your comments abuse and support thanks for watching get out the field have some fun i'ma catch you next time [Music]
