Get a cheap roll of blaze orange duct tape, tear off a narrow strip and put it on your ferro rods. You won’t be hiding from anyone when you light a fire and if you drop your ferro rod in leaves or debris you’ll be able to find it.
One of my favorite recommendations for outdoorsy people. Lanyards and loops can benefit from a tab of blaze orange duct tape, too. One more recommendation: use reflective cordage for loops, lanyards, and zipper pulls, unless stealth is desired.
@@danielkutcher5704 I tend more to the stealthy side, but I also keep rolls of bright orange surveyor flagging in my kits too. Seems to me easier to make stealthy stuff visible than the other way around.
I have an Exotac toolROLL filled with most everything you describe in your kit but I have added some extras to mine. (1) A 1oz bottle of fluid and extra flints for that type of lighter. (2) One small box of wood strike matches ( plastic wrapped of course). (3) Fuel tablets. They make a great cooking option when no burning fuel available. One can heat water using stones as a pot holder. (4) A small metal pencil sharpener to make fire starting shavings. (with 3 replacement blades as a backup).
Great fire kit. One of the things I added to mine was a cheap pencil sharpener for turning small twigs into tinder. It takes up almost zero room in your roll. I managed to find one made out of magnesium.
That was a great video. Making your own kits is a money saving, leaves more money for essentials. Food for instance. I like the roll up pack, but I am a the point of creating my own for a lot cheaper. Granted not every one is not as fortunate to have the resources to create their own version. I fortunately am and can do so. I really like the way you put your kit together. Very organized and complete. I am currently working on a flour bag that will be waxed. Hopefully it will work as well as yours. These are the videos I am currently interested in. Thanks. I will definitely follow your instructions and organize skills.
I decided to delete my comment about the free kit just pay for shipping knife that I received included with the fire kit. Disappointed with my knife u have. No 90 degree spine. But definitely usable.

Great tip!
A great tool if one cannot find tinder to help start a fire.
