Good video very helpful thanks.

Make them the same way but use mineral oil. Bought a small crock pot years ago. It is slower but no clean up.

Impressive

I love your approach. Using a soup can. Propane burner. Wiping it on your trousers. Just like we would do if we were doing it ourselves and out in the woods.

Wow. I've done several different types. This throws a flame like crazy. Wish I saw this earlier but ill give this a go. I typically use a fat straw longer on one end then heated to seal then stuff with antibiotic ointment soaked cotton. It burns like Vaseline but can also help with minor cuts & scrapes so dual purpose. That said, yours look great and in the cold north I would want yours for sure...or a nasty road flare! Cuz hypothermia can take you before most realize. Again great job

Do they stuck together badly in storage? Great vid

you should probably keep few more knives on ya. I'm thinkin maybe a boot knife or two and definitely 2 or 3 folders in your rear pockets.

I use dryer lint with the smell procedure works excellent

Buena idea para una emergencia. Buen trabajo.

I made some of this today... It's easy enough to make and burns good and long after its lit... but lighting it wih a ferro rod was a difficult long task compared to fatwood... I made two different baches.. one batch with lamp oil and another batch with lighter fluid...

I use parchment paper and cut the paper and leave it on. I did everything else you said.

Nice, I also made these with wax and lighter fluid. They work awesome. However....I think you need MORE knives!

i used lighter fluid for a charcoal grill with wax. Got the same result.

First time on this channel. Lamp oil is safer than charcoal lighter. I have seen vasoline used also. Thank you

my only suggestion is that in a lot of cases, you don't even need a whole one. if it's stupidly windy or wet perhaps go for a whole one, but if you're just looking to start a regular campfire or whatnot, a half or indeed even a quarter of one of these is often enough.

Leave the edge dry, you can start it with a spark that way.

Thanks for your video, I live in Central Maine, and I burn a lot of deadfall. These will be very welcomed and handy! They were easy to make and they work just as you say burn time 7 minutes. I have given some to family and friends, and shared your website with them. Awesome, thanks again !!!

I've been using these for a while, candle wax, firegel (from the BBQ section here in Australia at the chain store hardware) and some crayon for colour. I also make fire plugs using dental plugs bought off eBay

Your method worked great . Thanks and hope you have an excellent Holiday Season. Lefty from New Mexico.

Say whay? 9:09 "WC master woodsman" please clarify for the city girl

Can I use liquid paraffin as the liquid fuel?

Okay, exactly how many knives do you need to carry on your person around the house?

can you store them in a ziplock bag?

Im going to try it with dryer lint. Just have to figure out how to form the lint

I use the wood chips in paper egg cartons with wax poured over it and a cotton strig put in wood chips as a wick never tried this kind my daughter thinks she is greatest fire starter ever so refuses to take some with her when camping till she went out after rain and could not get a fire started. now maybe she will take some with her.

I like the idea of poking a hole in the center to expose the inner cotton fibers as apposed to tearing it like most ppl on youtube do.👍

I just tell so much truth all sides fight and when I'm kil**d we all go boom......who am I!?

its an idea that works !

I’ve been watching videos on this topic and I seen a guy yesterday who did this similar. He used those paper cups (like for ketchup at burger king or Wendy’s) and he mixed the gulf wax with the melted paraffin oil (1/3 cup oil:1lb wax) and he filled the cups with shredded cedar chips (used for pet bedding) and then he added the oil and wax liquid and then he put the 16 cups into the fridge for a few. Let me tell ya, that damn cup was burning for 28 minutes and it was a large flame. Excellent for rainy wet cold conditions and yours is definitely awesome too but his was a larger flame for a little bit longer burn time or equal burn time if yours went a half hour. 👊

Dude, give me a break. I thought wearing a neck knife in your garage was laughable. But the big belt knife is absurd. Seriously? Do you think youre going to gel lost on your way back to the kitchen door and going to have to make a shelter for the night?

What's up with all the knives in your garage? You look like an idiot

Well done

I love the way that burns and like the way you started it

They work fine with just paraffin wax, additional paraffin or other stuff just seems like a waste

In a pinch I am a small square of cardboard folded accordion Style with a few small squirts of hand sanitizer placed in flat in my many 10-in fire pit, then I just dropped a tiny bit of tissue I let on fire on it, and it sparked right up! Then I dropped a small handful of pellets on it and then a few more and then a few more.. 👍 the square of cardboard created a consistent low Burning Flame too

Anyone curious about Vaseline vs paraffin lamp oil... it's burn time. Petroleum jelly and wax average 5-6 minute burn time, paraffin lamp oil and wax is around 10 minutes. I tested the two and after 25 pads of each mixture, that was my results. Think how long and slow oil lamps burn.

I’m a musician (who plays a lot of guitar around campfires). This is going to come in handy! Thank you for sharing the info!

Why is the fire starter soaked in water?

Those pads work just great. An easy way to use is rubbing some hand sanitizer or Vaseline petroleum jelly into them just before using, keeping the ingredients separate the rest of the time. Very simple.

I only use wax and Vaseline. It is 2023 and the 8 oz paraffin oil is $11.00. And yes most of us have cotton rounds already. Nice video thank you. I like when y'all give us different perspectives.

Difference between parafin or petroleum based lamp oil?

Good fire starter though!!!!!

nice knife base. wheres the pistol

this would also be a great thing to bring to really cold snowy areas in case of an emergency, because even if youre too cold to gather wood there's an immediate large long lasting flame to get your hands warm to then start gathering wood. GREAT video, just subbed and liked, keep up the awesome videos!!

What do you all store your fire starters in? I may make some and give as gifts for my camping buddies…

Also where did you get your sheath you showed us? I have been looking but can’t find it anywhere

Sounds like you might have flipped the can in the water once before...lol. I like your unpolished, no-nonsense, real approach. I can relate.

I use cotton balls with petroleum jelly and then dipped in wax and they last about 10 1/2 minutes

Gulfwas is super expensive. That's why I don't use it. I scrounge candles from second-hand stores and the Dollar Store.

Nice! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I’m doing this.
