It looks like these have doubled in price since I released this video. Not saying I caused that but …
Do they sell these aat the hardware store? If so what is it's part name? Is it just "anode rod?"
Great idea but as you said they seem to have doubled in price. So, it's a no go for me.Good video.
Paid $13 for 2 on Amazon just now. Different brand.
Great idea.
Thanks.
You can buy magnesium shavings in different quantities online. I like that they’re all ready to go, and you don’t need to take time to prep them with your cold, unresponsive hands in a dire situation. For the same reason I carry a small baggie of shavings and wood slivers which you don’t need to take time and prep and are ready to get your fire going. This magnesium rod shown in this very fine video certainly is an excellent option!
Great idea, Brian. That is enough magnesium for a few years of fire, unless you live in a rain forrest. This is a lot better than a small ferro rod glued to a block of magnesium. I had one rod come off the magnesium block. Magnesium shavings definitely increase the effectiveness of a ferro rod.
That rod is about 1000% better than the mag bar. Of course, that huge ferro rod was also much better than the one glued on a mag bar. I think it would be good to actually have pre-made shavings in a pill bottle or such in a kit to save the aggravation of scraping in a REAL situation.
Like these? ruclips.net/video/NBCzR0FXhe0/видео.htmlsi=hWz-oRqY7QcRvEJ_ Yes, they are quicker but a rod gives you a LOT more fires in a smaller package.
@SurvivalOnPurpose Yeah, these are great for two reasons, 1. already shaved, and 2. these shavings are larger than what you typically scrape yourself. Good product!
Good idea. 😉
Great Idea!!😊😊
From an electrician to a plumber, many thanks Brian. I'ma have to pick some of these up
How has no one thought of this before? Wow, this is game changer for starting fire right the neck now. I have already ordered the two pack. Thanks for sharing this with us.
This has got to be one of the coolest hacks I've ever seen. Great to know, Thanks Brian!!
When CN wants a fire he snaps his fingers. Nice video.
They mustve seen this video cause the price doubled when I click the link lol
Yep. Price doubled.
Wow. I just checked and you are correct.
Greetings, Brian this is one best common hacks I seen.
That's a bit bulky to be carrying around, though. It might be better to shave a bunch of filings off it and keep a pill bottle (or similar container) of those in you fire kit.
Yep, but that is one or two fires versus many. It’s good to have choices
I guess it would depend on the size of the container and how tightly you pack it in as well as how much the conditions require you to use.
as an addition to a basic fire kit I have on a karabiner one if those Aluminum tubes yoy can get your thumb in stuffed with cotton wool balls soaked in melted Vaseline (sticky as heck but 'flame on!) attached to two smaller ones, one with commercial Magnesium powder, the other with crushed Hexamine, all three together Oh My
Great hack! Had no idea about these. Thanks!
Never thought of putting a chunk of it in my pack, but I have several scrap pieces of magnesium in the garage left over from the Bugatti Aerolithe we built at the shop. There's a bit of shavings, too. Might as well make use of it! Thanks for the video!
👍
Not gonna lie this is genius. I honestly thought the anodes were a magnesium alloy. Amazing!
Here I was thinking it would be the primer fluid or plumber's glue. Set my pants leg on fire lighting a piece of rag soaked in priming fluid and arcing a spark with a screwdriver on a car battery. Great times the folly of youth.
Plumber To The Rescue! Great Video!
Thanks 👍
Still my go to man for reviews. Never a dull moment with you. Thanks for the survival hack. Instead of buying magnesium shavings the rod would serve a better purpose to put in a survival kit or emergency kit. Ingenious my friend ingenious.
SEMPER FI
Excellent idea. Amazon here I come. While I'm at it, I think I'll look for that cheap little survival knife to tinker around with.
Thx for sharing. That was great
OUTSTANDING VIDEO. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Favorite CN fact so far.
I really have to say ,,
“ I’m amazed “ wow here I come amazon 👍👍
excellent!
The fumes generated by that rod are toxic.
Best hack you’ve done.
Cool idea. Thanks.
Great idea there and I guess it shows how much these other companies are over charging for magnesium bars/rods etc.
Well, to be fair, these are made in a Chinese factory, where they probably buy magnesium by the ton and stamp them out by the thousands. They’re not paying federal income tax or Worker’s Comp. or liability insurance or Many of the other expenses, a small company has to pay here in the US
Awesome idea. Thanks
You definitely got a hote of my attention…..😉 This is a great idea, thanks for posting this.🙏🏻✌️🇺🇸
While functional (obviously), the magnesium anode rods in water heaters are not pure magnesium, but a composite of magnesium, aluminum and zinc with a minimal (but never absent) mix of iron, nickle and copper. Magnesium rods/bars and even bags of chips for fire starting can be purchased for $10 (double your price, but still cheap) with 99.99% magnesium content. The higher magnesium content allows for hotter sparks with less material used, and less effort. I prefer the bars as I find them easier to store in a kit.
So, while your method would be a good knowledge for emergency usage, I would not recommend it as a first off choice, by any means.
Very LEGIT! Thank you for this great survival/life hack!
great idea!
Here's an idea.... take a 3/8 or 1/2 in. Ferro rod and that anode and a 1 in copper pipe and solder them into the pipe. If it works, let's see a video.
Great trick!
Thank you for video and your time .That some great information to have for the future ... Oh Hello from Dallas Texas .
Hmm. Looks like I’m going to have to Modify my Knife Sheath to add that Anode Rod to it. Thanks!
That’s gonna be a big loop.
Very cool hack!
Outstanding 💯
Thank you so much 😀
Great hack !
With magnesium..the slitest breeze and pooof..its gone..better to make a depression in the ground to collect the scrapings and then ignite it..thanks for the channel!
use inflammable glue to hold the shavings
Good job
Brian! Magnesium blocks are a pain and i hate them! 😠 But those rods are the coolest thing ever! 😃
Gonna get me some ......................... 😎👍👍
Good tip Brian , thanks for sharing YAH bless !
Well Bryan, you once again prove you are more than just another pretty face. Great idea! Thank you.
Purdy goood as we say in ky
It seems a lot harder than the standard fire-starting magnesium blocks.
It didn’t seem harder than the ones I have tested.
I love ❤️ it also ordered some, thank you, I really like your style, and your videos!!!!
That looks really cool! For $5? I'll try it! Guitar sounds great!
Nice
💯
pretty cool.
I thought it was worth risking $10 to try.
cool
Interesting. What do I call it to buy one on Amazon?
Magnesium
Anode rod
Great info! Sir, appreciate the lessons as always!
Hope we can get sharp Sat. Ole skool review tomorrow! Lol!
If people can't use the military MG bar to start a fire they need to stay out of the woods. Yes the Chineese one does sux.
How about a Vic lighter
There is also a two pack of these with dimensions of 4.5” x 1/2”. Do you think the shorter but thicker version would be better for hiking, backpacking, get home bad use? Just thinking it matches closer to my ferro rod dimensions.
Ohhhh…. I have seen this in other designs where you drill out the side of the mag rod and slide insert a narrower ferro rod. Glue it in place. Just didn’t think I would be able to DIY this until now.
Thanks for the vid and the idea for my next little project.
Actually, I measured this one and it is 5/8" in diameter, not 1/2" like I said. So I like the longer rod so I have more to "get a holt of" but you can always cut these of and 4 if you buy the 2-pack like I did.
@@SurvivalOnPurpose great tip, thanks again for the vid.
Five dollar hack more like twenty dollar hack.🤔
Yeah. Someone commented that they had doubled in price since I released this video. I literally ordered mine last Sunday at 2/$10.
