You REALLY just have to pray to God that the flint doesn't wear away while you're scraping it down. Cause you certainly aren't sparking your pile with JUST the spring that was holding it in. This is why it's so important just to keep SEVERAL different fire starting methods in your kit. Ferro rod, couple Bic lighters in a Ziploc, and a case of waterproof matches that'll burn even underwater. And I don't even stop then. Permanent match on the keychain with an o-ring seal to keep the fuel from evaporating, 9 volt battery and a bundle of steel wool, etc etc etc.

Not really I'm a dumb ass and came up with dragging flint until I had a pile of flint and then ignited it with my own dead lighter although I used dry wood instead of the plastic but hey that's cool I can use a lighters plastic too
Some people also don't know that when a lighter is dead (but still intact) you can still get lots of lights out of it if you take off the metal guard and stick a knife under the little thing that lifts up when you push the button. Force it up hard and light it.
Used to do this all the time when Iived on the street.
(Almost 4 years clean now)

@@YRO. You prefer poisined meat?
@@duelort4856 yeah
Another suggestion...save the flint by not creating dust. Dont ruin the body of the lighter by marring it up and potentially injuring your hands.
Instead, pull little bits of fluffy lint off of your socks and pack them inside the top of the lighter where the flame would normally be. Dont pack too tightly. Strike the flint and light up the lint. This way you arent wasting the flint by using lots of dust from it just to create one fire. In a life or death situation, the extended use of anything like this would be extremely helpful.

I've seen many survival videos over the years but this one is on a whole new level
This is very useful considering how many empty lighters are around beaches and stuff
That's what I was thinking. In an apocalypse situation, the flint would be in hundreds of thousands of abandoned, thrown out lighters. I should probably start stockpiling them now lol

Mosquitos: “Y’all do music videos”
As a Florida man I can attest that’s nothing and those mosquitoes are small. Ps lighting a fire May help 5ft tops to hold of mosquitoes but down here you don’t wanna be that close to the fire eat to hot. Other than that you screwed when the sun goes down !
I love your no nonsense approach.
The most satisfying part of this video wasn’t him creating fire from an empty lighter… it was watching the flames roar and knowing all those mosquitoes were driven away!!!
Mosquitoes do t like Fire?
@@dechezhaast maybe not every mosquito, but it can reduce the number buzzing around to where you can swat them
@@dechezhaast you could also cover yourself in mud to keep cool and protect yourself from mosquitoes
@@dechezhaast They don't like smoke I believe.
Unless you are burning citronella or something similar, fire just produces CO2 that attracts mosquitos.
My mentor shown me this technique very early in my bushcraft career exactly the same way you taught. However, since then, I don't ever recall anyone else ever doing this. Great job!
Because those fires are started by burning plastic, great if you're alone at night and need a fire to keep yotes away, or if you've got plenty of firewood and dry tinder and you're freezing. It's also good to create a small flame or to create... well i guess the closest words is transferring embers? If you try to cook over that burning plastic you'll regret it for sure though, it'll taste horribly and smell enough to get territorial animals angry and investigative
...Or with that many mosquitoes!!! 🦟
@CLOV3R713 Depends on what plastic lighters use. Im not a plastic scientist but I work with foods in a medieval times "period" setting, and a SINGLE plastic broach got in a huge grill for grilling a cow side, and ruined the entire rear end of the side.
@CLOV3R713 in a camp fire being kept at cooking temperature, it would take a very long time for plastic to burn out, and the taste will ruin any meal. This method isn't good for cooking on a fire, even a small quarter inch by quarter inch by 2 millimeter square of plastic imparts a taste for at least an hour on a low fire.
The sound of those mosquitoes makes me glad we're currently heading into winter.
One of the main reasons I hate hot weather. I hate mosquitoes and flys so much
Agree! We live in Florida, and our skeeter are HUGE!
@@leighanncronin6905 do the mosquitos go away during winter in Florida?
@@bettermetal8306 For a small timeframe. It may be different for other areas in Florida but I live near a swamp forest so as soon as it gets a tad bit warmer those damn things come back again. They truly never go away but they do become less active I guess.

You can get more out of the flint if you use the lint from your socks to catch the spark. Just drag the blade of your knife across your sock or pants leg in almost the same way you did to shave plastic, bundle it, and catch the spark.
Great, then you are sockless, who's is even worse.
@@oakstrong1 yeah, I guess if you exclusively start new fires instead of keeping the same one going like a normal person would then that might happen.
Or keep a guitar pick tied to the handle of your knife. Those produce some NICE flames!
Excellent substitution burning plastic is dangerous the fumes could go into your lungs and cause damage.

I used to do 2 tricks with a lighter.
One of them was this "flint shaving" to make a tiny pile of powder and light it up with a spark for a cool effect.
The other trick was to let out some of the lighter gas onto my half-folded palm and then light it up, also creating a cool effect.
Wow, I used to do the second one
If you remove the ferro rod and spring, stretch the spring out and wrap it around the ferro rod. Then use a 2nd lighter to heat the rod till its red hot, holding it wuth the spring. When red hot, throw it on the ground (hard ground) itll basically explode in a massive shower of sparks. Useless but fun
@@hello7533 Now this I might actually need to try 😍💥
You gota put the fluid in your mouth. And then blow on the flame.
A better one is, its basically when the light is almost dead. Take the flint and the spring out. Wrap the spring around the flint. Just so it holds the flint. Get the flint almost red hot and throw it on concrete. And it creates a huge spark.
Just a trick when bored.
Honestly amazing. I’m glad I clicked this real quick
That's one of the best survival tips I've seen
I’ve watched a lot of survival hacks, but this is the first time ANYONE has shown this one. Nifty 😊👏🏽👍🏽. Definitely remembering this one. Just got anew subscriber.

🔥👊🔥
If you're driving a vehicle and u have just enough lighter fluid to light gas you can find something to dip in your fuel tank and since gas is very flammable a small spark is enough to light gas this has been done multiple times by me
Or you could just drive home.
Having a car changes the whole situation.
I'm surprised you didn't burn the vehicle
How many times have you been stranded with gas in your car and needed fire?
@@jimbusmaximus4624 seriously wtf get your shit together lady
@@jimbusmaximus4624 The point isn’t that these are everyday circumstances, these would be million to one survival situations. There have been cases where people have gotten their vehicles stuck in the mud or snow and they ended up dying from exposure to the elements.
Of course you have more than just gasoline at your disposal, you have engine oil, a car battery, etc.
Smart to use the Birch bark as a base, Can light that up soaked wet and catch a good flame! 👍
What a wonderful sound, thank you for capturing that.
You can also turn the whell by keeping the lighter upright, the dust will collect inside of it.. Then just turn it and you wi have all concentered in one point!
Or run a stick over the wheel with the lighter in the upright position.
@MGTOW INC.
Amen, brother.
MGTOW here for the past 5 years.

@MGTOW INC. or just pack two lighters 🙃
@MGTOW INC. is MGTOW for dudes that like other dudes?
@MGTOW INC. no thanks. i like women.
You can also use a little pocket lint or fluff from your sock. Place it on top of the lighter and strike gently. The spark should light the lint, just be sure to have tinder and kindling ready.
I keep muh prison lighter in muh prison wallet
Never thought of that! Good tip!
Oh yeah, the noise the knife made when scraping the plastic was ultra pleasant.
MY TEETH HURTS FROM HEARING IT idk why

@Andrew Johnson yos, cockroaches and mosquitoes are pathetic in comparison to ticks
This is an amazing idea that i would have never even considered, very useful information
You actually can just pull lint off of your own sock and you don't have to shave flint onto the plastic. The sock lint will light with the spark of the lighter alone
🤔🤔 what about belly button lint
Petrol works too. Or the gas from your other lighter that the flint's stuffed on. 😏
Mosquitos: “DUDE ITS TED COME LOOK GUYS”
That was pretty cool. I have seen many ways to start a fire and have done many friction fires. This proves a dead lighter isnt a lifeless lighter. Even a prison match can be lit with a dead lighter.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing that!
“Completely dead, smashed open, no fuel” sounds like a $2500 truck in today’s market.
This is the content we should all be seeing on a regular basis. Information that could legitimately safe your life, if you were ever in such a scenario.
Just always carry a magnesium fire starter
@@Cerberus984 those are kinda expensive and hard to get here
Wow, great idea! Definitely remembering this one.
Loved the subtitles on top of the subtitles, really subtle
Those CATTAILS ( when fluffed up) behind you will ignite immediately with a single spark from that fuel-less lighter.
This hasn’t got any replies but I agree with you a lot. He is over complicating it too much.
All those mosquitoes are giving me PTSD....
Just the annoying buzz gives me goosebumps....
Welcome to finland
Skeeter genocide!!!!!!
I learned the hard way with a stoner trick I used to do to push the rolling thing backwards to shave the flint quickly. For what is worth to anybody out there. Plus it has the added bonus of not accidentally setting off a spark prematurely and ruining your hard work.
Edit: you mightve just saved someone's life with this trick. 🥰 I appreciate the idea a lot!
👍 thx good tip Heather
Why is it important to not strike a spark early ?
what does the rubbing of the top of the lighter do, when there's no spark ?
I didn't quite get it.
@@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794 coz if u spark it, the whole thing will light up. So if you do it early, the flame that u have created won't be enough to light up the little piece of wood or whatever and won't create a bigger fire
Yeah but you gotta be careful because if the flint is small you can pop it out and lose it completely doing this.
@@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794 it’s shaving the flint down and sprinkling it all over his shaving pile. He doesn’t want to spark it early because it may ignite what’s there before he’s ready.
Important information right there. Learned something new.
Legit thought he was gordon ramsay, but realized it wasnt him when he didnt cursed once
Imagine if the wind swept by at the last minute 😭💀
The best way is to use straw, dry grass, wood shavings, pine needles if available, dry moss, etc and then create your flint bed on top of that then light strike the flint over it.
Yeah right, why burn plastic.
@@retrogamer9111 I get why he said to use the plastic in case it is all you have available, but that is almost never the case and the fact that the plastic is a readily available tender of sorts.
@@JustAGuy781 true and plastic tends to smolder, which makes it harder to extinguish and would be excellent in harsher conditions.
Yup!! 👍
Thank you!
Damn, an actual fresh way to light a fire on yt shorts that doesn't involve the same old method, impressive!

Facts👑
My dad was lost on Mt Adam’s for a few days with nothing but a broken lighter. He got out okay but he would’ve gotten picked up sooner if he could’ve started a fire with this trick. I’m glad I know this now
Is this true??
@@jordanhanson-flores2433 yeah
Btw thank you for sharing that tip with us. I'm sure it will definitely help some of us when the time comes. We can all hope we never have to face such a time. But anything is possible.
"Create shavings of plastic off the lighter" (insert worst sound in human history) "so here's my pile of plastic shavings"
It hurt my ears so bad oh my God
Came here for this comment
Haven't seen Jerry Rig everything?
Sent chills down my spine.
Worst sound in human history is a Liberal SJW's screech
Pro tip: roll the flint striker backward to prevent accidental strike before acquiring enough shavings.
Or just do it slowly. I had flints come out cuz of that lol
Bad idea
Might damaged the pre-shaped flint "head". Later when U try to create a spark (by striking it the normal/right way), no spark would be created!
@@brandonfoley7519 Been doing it since I was a teen, never had any negative consequence.
Pro tip- bring matches.
The sound of your knife dragging gave me chills
For real. I had to pause if before it played the second time
Dang Ted you are awesome 👏
First time I have seen this method and it is quite amazing really as a lot of people would never think of this...👍
🔥👍 fun to practice works great with other tinders also. Fatwood/lighterknot sawdust is prob the best
Lesson is, if your going camping always have a fresh lighter!
Flint and Steel really comes in clutch during emergencies. Of course a solar powered electric lighter would be overpowered but that would definitely be a luxury.
Batterys are good
And unreliable. In a survival kit a bic lighter and a flint/steel is always the way to go for reliability, cost, and weight (a big deal for survival)
Damn so appreciate this video ❤
Wow this is amazing, I’m gonna be collecting every lighter I come across!! Thanks for sharing!!
Damn, thank you. Now I can smoke weed even when my lighter goes out 🤣
Cool to see this! We did this back in school in the late 90’s. We didn’t use the plastic shavings but…👍
Pencils
This is an awesome video, I have actually found empty lighters in the woods and hiking. I always carry a fero rod but that was really freaking cool trick thank you
Imagine having not enough flint left to actually spark it at the end, how degrading would that feeling be for the bic to not work after all of that. 😂
XD
Yeah a smokers lighter would have very little flint left to work with since they light it so often for small durations
Degradation? Idk about that but it would be devastating.
I said UNDER 200!!
Damn 😂
Another one: If the lighter is empty (or not lighting), but no smashed open like Ted's, you can usually remove the metal guard around the Flint Wheel and proceed to get at least 1 more light, if not a few more lights, with a tiny little flame. Then once its totally dead, move on to Ted's example! The metal Flint Guard suppresses the flow enough so that when it's really low, the spark won't catch it, but once you've removed that barrier, it will light again.
Good tip. Also Removing the metal guard does allow you to better target the flint dust on your tinder pile, but it increases your ods of loosing the flint should it pop out. Also on many other brands of lighter that you can adjust the flame height with the little wheel under the metal cap once empty you can often turn that up and get another light out of it as long as its not broken
Both true and great things to remember..I've used it many times when all my lighters died
I run all my lighters till the end like that lol
True..
Been using that to smoke weed for eons also if you have a cigarette paper or abit of paper you can lick it and the dust from the lighter will stick easier
You could imagine you doing this all day and when you're ready to light it a wind blows your bit of hope away
This was very helpful no cap 💯💯😳 I love stuff like this never know how life might be years from now it’s cool to know some hacks
Team Trees: *Picking up plastic from the earth and creating awareness about micro plastics*
Ted: *Hand makes micro plastics*
Thanks for that, I'll make sure to carry 10 completely full lighters next time
I can also do it with some dry pine resin I just crush it into dust and add some of that flint dust. Also if you have a cigarette you can scrape that ferrocerium into the cigarette and you'll get a good enough amber to light it, and then you can use that amber. But the best way to do it is if you have some toilet paper, again just scrape that ferrocerium on a piece of toilette paper and light it up.
Amber is fossilized resin. You're talking about an EMBER.
LINT !!!
This is actually very useful information. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
If you're ever in a pinch that method is genius. Thank you. I'll remember this one.

@@Alexander-vm2ox ok sgt fire crotch please go into detail on why my statement above is so ignorant on the subject of fire making, cause I’ve made a few fires before myself no master by any means but a flame can go out very easily and with nothing around him in eye shot in the video to keep that small flame going that he had it would be understandable for any body to think that weird edit to a bigger fire could lead them to believe it went out and he made a new one and that’s why the edit is there, but forget my logic on the situation, let’s here yours cause I can tell by your very original comment that there just so much knowledge ready to pour out and teach everybody so please…tell me you’re mothers your best friend without telling me your mothers your best friend lol
