How To Make A Wax Jute Tinder Tube/ Tinder Wick

Just showing the process of making reverse wrap cordage out of jute twine and waxing it to make an excellent fire extender.

What you just demonstrated was termed a flemish twist string. In archery we usually wax the strands before we twist them up. Beeswax is one of the best to use. Toilet ring wax is excellent !

Hello there, I just cut (few minutes ago) 2 tinder tubes out of stainless drinking straw - 2pcs in the lenght of 9cm. My wick is cotton rope just so thick to come through the straw. Thanks for your video. Greetings from the Czech Republic.

Nice - I saw another vid where he does Vaseline then wax. It worked great with flint and steel.

Do you mean a metal striker and a rock (flint and steel) or a ferrocerrium rod and a scraper?

[@JoeAnshien]

@@charlesmckinney ferrocerium rod and a scraper - The addition of Vaseline seemed to help the cord ignite very quickly.

Very informative! Thank you!

You are living dangerous there man

[@f41lurizer]

To speed things up, don't bother with the boiling water. Just melt the wax over low directly on the stove.

[@user-hx3nw3vj8m]

Be very careful Be very very careful
