Howdy
thank you for the video. nice round up verifying steel wool's versatility! I've been keeping some in my pack for years now. As always quality videos!
It's easy and free...smack the like button
Awesome video. Always a positive can do vibe and extremely good videos
I actually have steel wool. Forgot one could start fire with it.
IMPORTANT. Put steel wool in a plastic zip bag and close it tight. If not, it will draw moisture from the air and begin to rust and make a HUGE mess in your fire kit bag! Been there. And done that!😊😊
Well... uh. Yeah
No no see you need to add aluminum shavings as well the rust will be beneficial just add a slight spark with the aluminum shavings added and watch all the excitement happen
@@VdubSPAZif steel wool won't do it thermite will. 😂
Vacuum sealed.
Vacuum sealing it would be an even better idea because you could pack more of it
Always showing people how to get it done . Appreciate your work ethic.
Facts I would use the steel wool battery trick when I was homeless in Florida and Colorado to start a fire for warmth and cooking
Out of curiosity how did you get the wool or portion it to be cost effective?
@@jasonb4687 dollar tree had little wool patches. Just be sure it does have soap or detergent in them. Also I have longer hair so I would keep some of my hair from brushing and put in a small lip lock bag and spray with deodorant or flammable liquid for kending
as a little kid 9 years old I had no idea? there was some steel wool in the garage and I had a match, i lit it on fire, it had a little sparkle. I decided to tie a string around it and light it Then I swung it around in circles what a spectacular spark show that was. Too bad there was only two pieces in the garage so that was short-lived. I'm working on 66 years old now!
The lengths and effort you put in the channel, filming and editing is quite evident.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Hi, from Berkshire, UK. Learning every possible way to light a fire is essential these days. Kids at school should have Bushcraft as a mandatory class, coz you never know when the SHTF. Thanks Shawn, the basics never gets old.
That’s why my dad encouraged me to join the scouts…… Cub Scouts ( Made Webelos and Arrow Of Light) and Boy Scouts (Eagle Scout)…… learned a lot about survival as a kid….. was fun and still use most of the skills I learned today…….
Nice, now I need more Steel Wool!!
Why is it every time Corporal Kelley lights a fire 🔥 I hear Beavis in my head? Crazy how well steel wool catches a spark. Char cloth has to be jealous right about now.
I remember when I was in Boy Scouts. We used lenses from our binoculars to start a fire with steel wool. Thanks for the great content!
I believe we used a lense from a pair of reading glasses 🤓. It was 40 years ago….so I’m not 💯 percent certain though. I do recall looking around at other kids that wore glasses 👓 and wondering.
Love that steel wool trick and great for restoring cast iron cookware
YUP STEELWOOL HAS BEEN IN THAT MODE SINCE THE 70'S THAT I REMEMBER
More great information 👍👍👍👍
Found it, watched it, enjoyed it. I've been a fan of steel wool in the context of fire building for years. I'm glad to see it getting some attention in this video.
I've used a battery and steel wool to make a fire but I've never heard of the other ways you showed thanks for the info.
I've ignited steel wool numerous times using a double a battery. Just grab a bit of 4 ought wool, stretch that steel wool out and roll it between your palms so that it resembles a poorly rolled joint, touch an end to each of the battery poles & you've got an ember. Also, as a scout leader that I worked with suggested, spraying a LITTLE WD-40 on the steel wool makes it burst into flame easier.... he was right.
Real good information young man
God bless you and yours and God bless the USA
And its easier to make than char cloth, holds up better, has multiple purposes. Thanks
Thanks for reviving a decades-old method which I used in teaching wilderness survival to Boy Scouts back in the 1970s! At age 82, I am obvioulsly Old School; and I deply appreciate your bringing 0000 Steel Wool to the attention of younger generations of Bushcrafters. I look forward to every presentation! Happy Thanksgiving!
Always some good stuff from Corporal!
Wow, I have to put this in my fire kit...and no battery required!
Excellent my friend. One solution ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED in a difficult situation such as lighting a fire in wilderness. Thank you again Shawn👏👏👏
Great information as always Corporal! Thank you for sharing.
It's 21:18hrs here in the UK and I go to sleep knowing something I didn't know this morning. Thanks corporal kelly.
I knew about the electrical ignithion of steel wool but i didn't know about the other ways. Thank you Cpl. Kelly for enlightening us. 😂 .
See you Sunday.
This is very cool. Over 20 years back, l learned the trick with the battery. But never used it with other methods.
Thanks for teaching an old fox new techniques!
I learned about fire starting using steel wool from an old Boy Scout scoutmaster using a couple of D cell flash light batteries! That was some 60 years ago
Good to know. I keep a zip lock bag of dryer lint from 2020 in my kit. It's dry AF but if I need to use it during wet conditions that could be a problem. This 0000 steel wool is a good idea.
Baack when I was in Boy Scouts and they were having us do the Bow Drill, they liked to give us 0000 steel wool to take any ember you might manage and enhance it by putting it in the nest of steel wool in order to be able to blow it into a flame in the 'bird's nest'. So I have been using it for decades now. [In my case, Boy Scouts was back in 1970 or so. Great work Good Sir.
The idea that steel wool is limited to urban environments could be considered an urban legend that you just disproved. Steel wool has been part of my fire kit for a long while. Just like potassium permanganate and glycerin, of course they are kept separated. Thanks for a great video.
As corporal blows the ember. Im sitting behind screen and blowing my hot noodles😂
It's about time I saw someone mention this. Yes I saw it on the earlier video too, I'm surprised you didn't hear me cheering. I learned this in the Boy Scouts over 50 years ago. I have some in my backpack, all my various "fire kits", tool boxes, I even carry some in a small "fire kit" pouch in my pocket along with several ways to light it pretty much full time. I've been laughing my rear end off at all the RUclips "survivalists" since I first started watching them struggling with ridiculous commercial and natural "fire starters" that barely work, if they do. Thanks for pointing out the simplest, most readily available, and easiest to carry fire starter there is that works every time.
There is oil put in the wool to help keep it from rusting that helps it to burn.
I vaguely remember doing this when we were playing around in my culinary classes in college
Yepper my pack has several
Me, if I'm leaving home and heading out to camp, I'd go with old reliable Frito's chips and a Bic lighter. You really have to go out of your way and plan to find steel wool as a fire source... I can leave tonight and stop at any gas station and get Frito's and a lighter to have as a fire starter. Want to dumb it down even more?... save some of that dryer lint in a Ziploc bag to use as a fire starter with a Bic lighter. Cool video, but, simple and efficient is where it's at. Cheers!

After first 2 minutes, steel wool is in my emergency pack! Excellent tip!
That's sweet, especially with the magnifying glass! I learned a long time ago to use steel wool with a 9 Volt battery too, which I'm sure you already know.
I did that when my son was in Boy Scouts they were amazed
Thank you for this excellent presentation of the advantages of steel wool as a good source for an extra-large ember.
Good stuff. Additional material as backup to tape.
Corporal's 4 ought steel wool spark catching for the win!
Learned the riddle of steel, wool, in the Boyscouts.
The OOOO pad will fit in an Altoids tin.
Great video! I’ve carried steel wool in my kit for years!
🤯 mind blow right here fam, the corporal is over here burning steel!
I always wondered about a ferro rod. 9V Battery I knew about. Magnifier was also a surprise. Thank you sir.
excellent video mate
Awesome stuff!
I learned something new today Corporal. I sure will be placing this concept into my fire starting kit. Thanks...🔥👍
Not forgetting what you said in the beginning of this video..steel wool helps remove rust. That alone is worth putting in your kit.
I've found dryer lint to work extremely well. Haha I have a small bundle of it, I just toss a bit in a water proof bag and I'm good to go. Although the steel wool looks cool when it's lit
I collect my dryer lint because it's all cotton. Not as pretty as the steel wool ball, and it seems to work best - for me - with a little melted wax over the lint in a paper mache egg carton.
I know some people who's breath will ignite steel wool! It's definitely a very useful piece of kit!
Jesus, I had no idea. Thanks!
Excellent video, and a great reminder for an addition to any fire kit. Semper Fi!
That bit of fine steel wool will likely be used for several other purposes, is light in weight, and is not expensive.
Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, we used Steel Wool and 9v batteries in Boy Scouts!
We still do it.
I keep some in my cook wears as it makes a great pan scrub too! 👌🏽👍🏻👍🏻😎
Outstanding AF
Definitely adding to my kit
It is a cool way to start a fire. When I taught at the university lab I would get out a 9-volt battery and do this in front of the class when management wasn't looking. They always got a kick out of it. So, I learned something new with this demo. Awesome. (Next stop- utility room and/or Lowes)
Good AF. Steel wool, great idea. Definitely in my kit. Thanks for the advice.
One of your better videos. Thanks. I keep my steel wool in the bottom of my flashlight by the spring on the bottom. Just in case.
You'd probably need to add some oil for corrosion resistance for your steel wool. As anybody who has used steel wool knows, it LOVES to rust! Maybe spray with WD-40, and place in a sealed container until needed. The WD-40 adds flammability as well. WD-40 burns like nobody's business.
How would that effect the ability of the steel wool to take a spark? I don't know. Perhaps the Corporal can try and let us know! ^-^
so finally I have been carring it in my fire kit since Ron Hood recommended it in his VHS videos Thanks for what you do
Great idea because it takes up little room and gives you a GUARANTEED start to a fire! 😎🔥
Thank you for the video ! ☺♥
Its alot of useful simple techniques you are teaching.I like the fat wood torch too tat I came across the other day easy light burn 30 to 40 mins and wind proof also simple to use to start fires easier in rain.
I enjoy these tips and tricks video you make
Simple, but, informative!!! 🇺🇸
I don't have any experience camping outdoors ( except at the beach which doesn't count because of all the things one takes with ) but I am confident that if I stock a backpack with gear as advised, I'll make it for sure no problem!
Well done! Great instruction! Thank you.
The 0000 Steel Wool worked its way into a bar bet I used to do, about getting steel to melt with just a simple paper match. [I never lost that bet, as the molten steel would drip in front of their eyes.]
Holly 💩!!! Now that is dam good info and dam good idea too have in the fire kit !! Nice job on video!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍
As a painter, I have steel wool in my truck all the time. As an outdoorsman, I have flashlights in my truck also, and guess what, two take nine volts. This is by design, as a person who likes to be prepared.
I keep a fresnel lense in my wallet so I always have a lens available in an emergency. I have already proven the lens works for fire so Its a great little backup to edc
Well damn. That IS a stupid simple, big ember...and dampness doesn't matter! That's a handy tip, Shawn. Thanks!
Steel wool is a great "go to" spark catcher. Plus, it's just fun to watch the embers grow and spread at night (in the dark). Thanks, Shawn!
I think its awsome! I just imagine a lighter even of it was empty of fuel would still light that with its striker...thanks for the video😉👍
Excellent as usual Corporal. 👍❤️👍
Thank you brother. Will add that to my pack I have been messaging you about on Facebook
It’s always in my kit and my truck.
Good vid ... especially for newbies. Thanks!!
Bro, " fun things to do with steel wool"
👌😆👍
I need a hat for my patch.
Brilliant - love it

I just found yours video! I love your mind! Love your videos! u show me new ways to light fires., knots.. new tent conversions.. thanks for your videos!!!!
Been using Steel Wool and Dryer lint as Fire starters for 25+ years. Great video!
👍
Well done sir, thank you.
Yes I definitely have a bag of steel wool in my kit.
Great Tip, adding 0000 steel wool to my kit
Whoop whoop love getting off work to a fresh upload
The boy scout troop I was in made us use flint, steel to start our camp fires. Wool and dry tinder(cedar bark) and fire starting is easy.
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your thoughts and information
Thanks for the video!
Have a great week!
See you Sunday!
Awesome stuff. Definitely going to add some to my fire lighting gear.
this is great info, thanks for the video always looking forward to seeing stuff
Awesome I've been using/ playing with steel wool for years
Yes and I have made it work using an empty Bic lighter as well
It's an old trick, but still a great one, especially for kids. 👍
Thank you for the excellent content!
