Nice video. 👍 I’ve done something similar for a while. I cut 1 1/4” lengths of jute twine and put them in melted wax. I pull them out and place on parchment paper to cool. Then I screw them into the corkscrew. Non toxic little fire starters which burn for a couple minutes. Maybe 1¢ each.
I live in a hot climate. Anything wax makes an awful mess in a survival kit. Now I seal birthday candles in plastic straws. So just be cautious of this hack in summer!
You could use white paraffin candle wax. (I would prefer 100% pure beeswax.) Once the wax is completely dry on the cordage (Jute twine in this case), you can pull a segment of appropriate sized heat-shrink tubing over the corkscrew/Jute tinder and gently heat-shrink it thereby creating a protective "sleeve" that can be removed when the waxed-Jute tinder is needed. (You can find good RUclips videos for the application of heat-shrink tubing to the corkscrew/tinder on a SAK.) Happy Trails! 🇺🇸 🏕 🪢
That won’t work because there’s a company that makes these already that are getting bad reps because after a few days in and out of your pocket the wax wears right off of them. Do you have somebody next to your apartment that’s screaming all the time because I can hear somebody in the background Yellen

Thank you very much for the video, excellent idea and will definitely be used in my EDC.
finally, an affordable version of Firefly/Fireant Tinder. Thank you.
You waited this long to add a plug of your own tinder to the corkscrew?

👍 good idea
Dipped in vodka?
thanks
Just use the zippo
Good idea if you don't have the mini screwdriver. Could save your life someday. Thanks
You can have a mini screwdriver, but instead of a string, use the center of a cotton pad and wrap it around the screwdriver and screw it in.
The tweezers will turn just about any screw that the mini screw driver will.
Sweet!!
👍 mooi bedank
Won't that red wax get all over the inside of your pocket when you're pocket carrying it?

Just cover it with shrink tubing.or a plastic drink straw.
