That wax wood stick is really cool! I just found fatwood for the first time and it came in clutch starting my fire last weekend when everything was so damp! I definitely want to get good at starting fire with natural materials, but having a little help can save your butt when you need it!

LFG! 👍, and another good video!!

Wax wood stick reminds me of Eric's Tinder Torch. It should float too. Thanks for sharing these Ernie.

Thanks Fat wood is obtained from the branch of which tree?

I like that fat rope stick the best. Great review. I really enjoyed it. 👍

It's pretty cool! makes me wonder about making wax impregnated cotton balls instead of cotton balls and vaseline. I hate getting my hands covered in vaseline at camp.

@@kayveroutdoors5411 I've often thought of that as well. experiment with your own mix of parafin wax and maybe a light accelerant or liquid fuel. See if you could keep it solid under most outdoor temp conditions but have it take a spark and catch better than just vasoline.

Check out northxnorth wool handkerchief or neck gaiter or tuff possum survival scarf

Great review! You should try the new Fire Plugs (production hangar 51) and see how they compare with the other fire starting options. Also thought about the best fire starting for those of us in the Midwest when the temp is -5F (or last week at -30F (-50 wind chill))

I talked with the guy at PH51 and he said the fire plugs wont be in the making for much longer which kinda sucks I think because their wax wood stick is my fav. as well along with fat rope stick and the famous UST Wetfire.

is this the same with the tinder fatrope fire starter? tho it doesn't look the same

Can anyone reply to me, where to buy their products? All I get is dead links. Interested in the ultimate fire tinder, and fast fire rope. Thanks in advance

First! Good video as usual!

4mm Juke twine dipped in paraffin wax.

65 F in February??? Ernie, maybe I outta leave frigid Michigan behind and move down to your neck of the woods. It's was in the "teens" last night. Btw I always enjoy a good fire-starting video. Thanks

If you want the best fire starters see: " Kapok Fire Starters"

They all suck. They are to small and if your wood is wet your screwed .

Have you used them?

Isn't this basically just cotton balls wax / Vaseline stuffed into a toilet paper roll? I mean you really couldn't make this yourself don't you think save the money or better yet learn to find fatwood
