I've used Blackbeards fire rope in some seriously wet conditions. It works great. Catches quick and burns a long time.

Fire ropes are really nice to have and save a ton of space in your pack.

Hey man. If you could get your hands on a the issued M9 Bayonet and do your knife torture test on it I would love to see it.

Noooooo. Man, it'd be like watching the funeral of a good friend. 🍻

You can make your own by coating cotton balls with vasoline, rolling them into cylinders and then coating them in wax.

I’m glad you have your channel because you teach us about survival things that we may need someday thank you so much

I haven't tried the plugs yet but I've tried their rope and it lived up to the hype

Amazing reliable source, thank you very much

They really are pretty great. I got a 7-9 min or so burn time on top of snow.

I always light my grill with this exact ferro rod. 100% recommended.

Brother. Try some lightning nuggets if you’ve never tried them. Amazing! They come in the shape of half a sphere. Burn for over 30 minutes. Worth it to pick some up. Man do they make fire starting easy.

Fireplugs sounds like chilli flavoured suppositories 😂

I will send you some of our products, if you are interested?

I'd love to see you do a review of the SOG Pillar. I've had mine for years and that CPM S35VN steel is excellent. I don't really abuse it, so I'd like to see how it holds up to your review tests.

I'd like to see how my Jungle Primitive holds up.

Damnit! When did they start making these? I picked up the Captain's Booty kit about 2 years ago. Came with 4 fire ropes, the ferro rod and striker, a molle compatible carry bag, black beard velcro patch, and Plasma Lighter... They did not even offer me plugs... 😑 I'm guessing when that other company came out with them and made the ropes not look as good in comparison (still worked quite well, the competition's plugs just lasted longer and lit when more wet) so they came out with their own? Now I need em...

I like my Prepared4x torch. If you are up a creek (and sometimes handicap yourself by not using your brain), its a very good one to have. Just fray some of the rope, a good couple strikes, and it lights, and all you have to do is feed more rope if you need more time (because of said "handicap").

That's some pretty creative math there, pal.

Nice

If you don’t want to spend as much on the name brand. Academy sells the same things they work great and you can start them with a ferrel rod after you bust it open. They burn long enough to get a fire started l. I always use two of them for extra flame

Cotton wool covered in Vaseline would likely do the same job

can you please make a review on the honey badger knife

Ferro rods are cool af, I don't really need one but I've always wanted one.

The key to lighting most natural tinder is the word DRY. So using an artificial source even if only to start is really useful, and if you don't have fancy fire plugs use the old fashioned cotton balls with petroleum jelly in them,or something else that is waxy oily and flamable.

Interesting

I live in Amarillo, 55mph winds almost daily

Glad someone else lost some up there asd

gez only a 8mph wind blew them out, well thanks for letting me know they can't handle any wind as where I live we get a entire season of strong winds with gusts of up to 60mph+

Saw a vid one time dude took his woman’s circular cotton swabs soaked in wax and I copied it and been using them to get my charcoal started seem to work great unless you over saturate I thought more wax the better but the ratio to cotton has to be within a certain range for peak performance

Take anything, sawdust, paper, natural fiber rope, hell, even take leather and soak it in wax and it will burn when lit. I use saw dust

I'm sure it's a good product but I prefer Procamptek. Because they were the first to come to the market with it. I will admit Blackbeard has better branding and gets their name out there more.

I want

Procamtek is the only one for! Love they're stuff. I don't trust that black beard there's been a lot of shady shït with them

I would love to see a torture test on an AK-47 bayonet. Only field knife I can afford and it seems sturdy enough to beat on in the field.

U should review k bar big brother

I make my own from cotton, wax and veg oil. Works the same. If you have the willingness, 1/20th the price. Otherwise, yes buy those! Good product

Terava Jakarripukko is the best knife for the money.

I wanna c review on esse 3-4

Dryer lint and Birch bark

I used empty paper egg cartons, filled each "egg holder" with drier lint, wood chips and sometimes added tiny dry pine cones...then poured melted wax over the entire egg carton. When l needed to start a fire, l broke off one segment of the wax saturated egg carton, lit it with a lighter (a ferro rod would also work) and they burned hot for about 5 minutes. Not for pocket carry, but for canoe or car camping they are perfect and easy to make at home with the kids for a rainy day project. (Just have the dry ingredients ready ahead of time. And be careful melting the wax...don't use Mom's pots, use empty tin cans. )

Have you ever tested joker knives if not try the bush crafter

EVEN BETTER...and less expensive, is a tablespoon of Vaseline petrolatum jelly wrapped in folded aluminum foil. OR fill a container with Vaseline, like those diabetic test strips come in which are similar to the 35mm film canister containers, dip the tip of twigs, grass, or just about anything else, WET OR DRY, into the container.

Where'd you get that huge Ferro rod?

Could just buy dental gauze rolls and dip them in melted parrafin wax and get the same thing for way way cheaper

He's so fine

I normally have a pill bottle full of lint, these might be better

Did he send you a Mythical Zoan too?

Link/list of these items, please? Thank you!

All the haters because I make my own! Hahahaha. Idiots need something to be mad about I guess

Ferro rod, magnesium bar, and lint from dryer in sealed bag. This will last years rather than a season or two.

Actually from what I understand the procamptek are the best but to each his own. I’ve seen them light right up after soaking in water and they are 100% non toxic.

Are those the same as the Wazoo ones?

I actually make my own fire tender for fires if you have unwanted wax and cotton

Is it any better than cotton soaked in petroleum jelly?

Zehahaha

Is the paracord real or just for show?

Try that with a cotton ball and Vaseline, see if that works.

Glock knife review?

Are they more affordable than what one could find in nature? How do they perform against other fire starting tinders like fatwood or cat tail and other common competing brands of tinders and starters? Do they smolder when blown out by wind and there is still an ember or do you have to relight it? I'm not trying to be critical, just curious about fire lighting methods as a survivalist myself. Basically I'm wondering if they are worth the space in my pack.

Can't beat Fatwood

Hello again. Did you got the request to test a knife made by Camillus sold on Home Depot?

Let me save some time. The tip WILL break, this product does not consist of real steel in the center. Break one yourself in the yard - then call it.

Do fire plugs expire?

Anyone know what boots those are?

I just want to say love your videos and keep up the good work man and if you want to have a suggestion, my suggestion a knife called the rat 3 totally up to you if you want to do it but just here to say, I love the videos and keep up the good work

Honestly, are the Fireplugs better than a 35mm film container full of vaseline saturated cotton balls?

Anyone know what boots he's wearing?

nothing beats cotton ball and vaseline

Cotton balls impregnated with petroleum jelly.

If u burn 2 at one time it would still be 4.5 mins?

It's what I was thinking too 😂. Got me confused wtf he was on about.

Is this an ad?

If they are 4.5 minutes each and lite two at the same time, then they will burn for 4.5 minutes, not 9 minutes. High math!

Your math is wrong. If each burns for 4.5 minutes and you light them at the same time as in the video, it's still 4.5 minutes.

😂😅😂😅😂just scrape some bark off a tree. I am an old Cherokee. Making fire is not hard. Works every time. I cut the bark, into small strips. I don't need plugs.

you should try some minoxidil you're gna be balding a lot more aggressively soon

Their stick works better

Do something original homemade wax and cotton works very just use lighter fluid and stop messing around

That was a embarrassing fail

Not reliable at all.

Hey man, could you review the buck 119

Completely useless
