Regular old household Waxed Paper that you probably have in your kitchen works really well for a fire starter! Wet or Dry!! It also folds up pretty compact and a little goes a long way!! Thanks for the vid!!
I use wax paper to wrap pieces of pine pitch 'drips' I pull off conifers in parks and parking lots. It allows me to keep the pieces contained and get everything sticky. You just shred up some of the attached wax paper and it goes up quick and stays lit for awhile even in damp weather. Adding little bits of dry shredded cedar bark is a little bonus. Just about as free/cheap as you can get.
Another good fire lighter is dried orange peel. Potassium Permanganate when wet will stain your fingers purple and takes forever to get off. If you make a solution of sugar and potassium permanganate, soak string with the solution and let dry you now have a lightable fuse.
Liked the Cash Stash & Chapstick Stash! Battery & Gum Wrapper to start a fire was a good reminder. Tuna in Oil & Ramen meal was useful. Didn't know about the Potassium Permanganate & Sugar combination. Thanks.
I like the l bracket idea, here a hack for you get a pencil sharpener and find a stick that will fit in it and you can have fire starter material in no time, the money hack is a good idea but in a long term grid down (at least 6 months or more) paper money will be useless so I'd suggest having silver coins stashed away
I've heard of using tuna as a candle, but hadn't thought of it this way. The best thing about that is that you can cook the food without bothering with starting a fire. It uses its own easy and temporary fire. 👍
Unfortunately burned away a lot of the calories killing the oil... better to just eat the tuna (which is already fully cooked), the dried ramen packets can also be eaten raw
Clint Larvenz maybe you can boil pond water to drink when you absolutely have no other fuel sources.? But i have to agree with you on wasting calories.
Hahaha! Haha!! As he laughed maniacally in the fashion of Mandark from Dexter's laboratory!!! Holy crap! Explosive! I knew exactly what was going to happen when you added more than what was needed to ignite the sugar and potassium permanganate! Haha 😹😹😹!!! Hahaha? Yes 😅! You're too funny Bud! Haha 🤣😹🤣🤣🤣😂 Out 💋
Brilliant video, the only point I'd raise is that instead of Crisco any kind of 'shortening' or any kind of solid fat would suffice. The tuna can stove is genius as well, never would have thought of that.
Number 13. Take an EMPTY tuna can. Rip sone boxes into strips and wind them into a coil and put in the tuna can. Now poor hot wax over the box and into the tuna can. Simple heat and light source. A stove in other words.
@@carolwolf4099 SCOUTING was my moms life for probably a decade. My sister is 4 yrs older than I am and my brother is 2 younger. I don’t know girl scouting but she was in cub scouts for about 5 yrs. Is he gave us Cubs lots of tips from the girls without telling us where it came from. Girls were ickey back then.
First of all, fast reply on an old video... subscribed! Secondly, I know nut I would like to see a video on that in the future if you're taking suggestions. perhaps a whole series on escaping unlawful detainment.
For the handcuffs all you need is a thin flat piece of metal,slide it between the notched part and the cuff. Cuffs with chains interlock the single part of one cuff with the double part of the other cuff and twist break the pin.
Dan's Urban survival and Prepping i’m so glad you saw that, I know it’s been a tough day for me, with everything going on, oh my gosh, I thought I was losing my mind for sure when he pulled out the 20 bill, I said, to myself, that was a 50, I know it!!🤣🤣😂😂
Wow I never would have guessed how so many random items could be so useful! I am definitely going to start using lots of these hacks, thanks for the great video!!
Rather than carry potassium permanganate and oil or glycerin just carry more matches. Lighter and more compact but not as spectacular. For the handcuffs, if correctly applied, you're not getting out without outside assistance even if you have a key

@@carlinlentz6849 Yes but almost always not pure and it is buffered. You don't even want to be able to smell it. The only stench I know of worse than that is epoxy cement sealer. It's an instant headache even several floors away from where it is being applied. 😞
Why does this guy remind me of the character "Otter" from the movie "Animal House"? Lol! And guitar pics! I never leave home without several in my pocket! Never know when you're going to gig!
Thanks for the good info. The more that we carry in our brain, the less we have to carry on our backs. Thanks again! PLEASE tell me: how/where can a person buy potassium permanganate???
I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure you can add a little water to your dry sugar and KMno4 to get similar results to your mortar and pestle technique.
Great ... :D chris ... i keep nail polish remover around in an eye dropper bottle just for this and other reasons. Most of them seen from other channels but still info is good to know ... :D TFS... C.R.
Its hard to showcase mega original stuff. I just share things ive learned over the years.. nothing more. If 1 persons learns something new. I did a good job.
Creative Redundancy Agreed. I don't watch things for "originality". I watch things to learn and be entertained. The more people share one idea, the more people will hear about it. 👍
I wouldn't try that Chapstick trick. I got patted down once and the first thing that cop did was take the cap off my Chapstick and start cranking it out. I told him if he broke it he was going to buy me a new one so he stopped. If you could fold the fifty in half longways, roll it up and put around the center shaft and replace as much of the lip balm as possible so that it still worked that might fool someone.
Im not sure if you have shown it before but you can also make a fish trap with a 2 liter bottle. Cut the top off where it reaches its full size of the bottle then cut the neck off just a little (to make a slightly larger opening for bigger fish) then just flip it so the neck is inside the bottle, resecure the 2 together (melt em together, tie, ect whatever you can do) then drop some bait it, submerg, and wait
POV: Somebody (once told me the world was gonna know me) walks into the store and asks for change for a fifty. You say yes and they cut open the toothpaste tube in their pocket with their pocket knife. You can proceed to imagine that scenario on your own....
It was a 20 and a 50.. the 50 was on the bottom of the 20 and you can see it when he flips the 20 and back, and then he quickly fans it. You have to be really paying attention.
Survivor: *lighting potato chips on fire* Survivor 2: What the f*** are you doing to our food? Survivor: No disrespect, man, but between the two of us, I'M the survival expert. Not you. Me. So, unless you have some kind of idea on how we can make our food last longer, I suggest you keep your mouth shut.
How is that Potassium stuff a standard household item? Dunno if its coz am in SCOTLAND but what is it used for in the home as an everyday item? Thanks in advance
if you can get out of hinged handcuffs with the key in your handcuffed hand I will pay you $1000 dollars , I haven't seen anyone who could do it yet! but it is fun to watchem try ;-)
You haven't priced crisco lately , have you. At Safeway it was over $11 a can. Crap! Thanks for all the useful info. Hope I never have to use it, but if I do I will be thinking of you.

Empty toilet paper rolls filled with dryer lint make excellent fire starters!

Potassium permanganate can also sanitize water and wounds. It’s quite multi purpose.
I really like that tuna fish "sterno" to cook the ramen hack. I was wondering if the tuna would burn, but I didn't. Great tips all.
You don't have to waste the Chapstick, put into cotton like you would petroleum jelly for a descent fire starter.
Tuna and ramen idea was pretty cool
Not all nail polish removers contain acetone, check the label to make sure you have the right kind.
That is true.. which is why mine was 100% acetone... Which I stated "the acetone in nail polish remover"
I love that you get to the point! NO additional commentary - thank you :)
Me: Damn, forgot my potassium promanganate at home.
Homeless guy: Here use mine.
I loved the idea of using the shelf brackets as a stove stand, what a great idea💡
Thanks for sharing these👍

Exactly!!! It works out rather well!
Why didn't you add the tuna to the ramen first and just use the oil?
Love the soda can lantern 🌸🌸🌸
the thing with the tuna and ramen was genius
first time ive seen it, actually pretty good for emergency and massive SHTF stuff
awesome
You must have never watched crazyrussianhacker he did this a long time ago.
Unfortunately burned away a lot of the calories killing the oil... better to just eat the tuna (which is already fully cooked), the dried ramen packets can also be eaten raw
Clint Larvenz maybe you can boil pond water to drink when you absolutely have no other fuel sources.? But i have to agree with you on wasting calories.
I never thought about using chips to help with fires but I may try that next time.
With the crisco ...I go to Dollar Tree and buy packs of birthday candles.
"why do you have your cupboard full of crisco and birthday candles?" Hahahaha
Hahaha! Haha!! As he laughed maniacally in the fashion of Mandark from Dexter's laboratory!!! Holy crap! Explosive! I knew exactly what was going to happen when you added more than what was needed to ignite the sugar and potassium permanganate! Haha 😹😹😹!!! Hahaha? Yes 😅! You're too funny Bud! Haha 🤣😹🤣🤣🤣😂 Out 💋

My brother super glued his feet, bottom to bottom, together when we were Young. I miss that guy. He always had " good" ideas like that, lol.
My cousin superglued his teeth together, he ones in his mouth still.
For the crisco hack, I recommend using a stick to push a piece of jute into the crisco. It will light more easily
I love that pizza pan, mine looks just like that have newer one but the pizza turns out better on that pan. Hahaha
Cool,thanks for sharing, I like the shelf braket tripod!😀

It's called a "Buddy Burner". Made my first one when I was 10 yrs. old. 60 years ago. Girl Scouting was my life as a kid.

All I learned how to do is break out of handcuffs and start fires...
Subscribed love it keep up the videos.
Do we need anything else? lol :D
I'd like to have seen you show how exactly you reach the handcuff key lace or bracelet as the person who is detained. There must be a trick to it.
That was just meant as a simple demonstration
First of all, fast reply on an old video... subscribed! Secondly, I know nut I would like to see a video on that in the future if you're taking suggestions. perhaps a whole series on escaping unlawful detainment.
That is an idea.. we have been toying with. Past few months have been a whirl wind. Nothing bad at all just budy!
You can't with the hinged cuffs, you can with the chained cuffs. (have done it) (it hurts.... A lot)
For the handcuffs all you need is a thin flat piece of metal,slide it between the notched part and the cuff. Cuffs with chains interlock the single part of one cuff with the double part of the other cuff and twist break the pin.
When he burned those chips my heart broke💔💔💔
The tuna and ramen noodles looked pretty good just throw in some crumbled potato chips and ur good. 😃😋👍🏻
Drain the water from the Ramon add tuna Mayo hot sauce jalapenos whatever eat it on bread lil fold overs
After starting a fire with the chips you could toss in the bag! Well done is always, my friend.
I love your music. It takes the stress out of the situation. Good ideas
Hey Chris! Another winner as usual! Glad to hear you're in a more upbeat cheerful mood 😊. Thanks for the learning experience, always fun to watch.
Thanks man. I appreciate it

cash hack was great how you turned a 50 to a twenty was awesome lol
Toothpaste made change lol like a Piggy bank lol
I saw multiple bills in that stack, hahaha

lol it was multiple bills lol
My wife can turn a $50 into a $20 in the blink of an eye.
It is possible to carry a bunch of lighters in the space taken up by the bottles of permanganate and glycerin in the field. Save this for a lab demo
Wow I never would have guessed how so many random items could be so useful! I am definitely going to start using lots of these hacks, thanks for the great video!!
Anytime. Episode 1 is in the Description box and episode 3 is coming soon
That tuna campfire is awesome lol
The music is giving me Halloween vibes and it's honestly iconic
Thanks 🙏
Loved this vid! Big take-away: potassium permanganate is a fickle firestarter but once she gets going, look out!! Lol
Rather than carry potassium permanganate and oil or glycerin just carry more matches. Lighter and more compact but not as spectacular. For the handcuffs, if correctly applied, you're not getting out without outside assistance even if you have a key
Potassium permanganate
Have not found it yet
its uncomfortable to get out but its possible. not with those hinged cuffs though, theres no way to twist urself so as to insert the key
@@captainahab8444 if you can get them in front of you no problem.
Acetone is a nerve killer.
Acetone shouldn't even be breathed in and even plain old varsol should never touch your skin.
That bracket fire grill is pretty neat.
Your tuna oil trick is great too.
Nail polish remover is made of acetone, isn't it?
@@carlinlentz6849 Yes but almost always not pure and it is buffered. You don't even want to be able to smell it. The only stench I know of worse than that is epoxy cement sealer. It's an instant headache even several floors away from where it is being applied. 😞
So cute. He acts as if everyone doesnt already know this. Nice job kid, keep it up!
Many many people dont
Chewing gum...any chewing gum, is good to keep a fire lit.. for approx. 3 mins.. enough time to put your wood sticks to keep a fire going.
Chap stick can also be used as a candle
Very correct.
so can wax crayons.
@@snowfleas5426
But one cannot use crayon as chapsticks , tho...
Not candle either. Ahrg. The new world will be full av chappy lips.

Whats Potassium Permanganate and Glycerol used for normally? I've never seen it for sale in Ireland.
PP used in water softeners
Ty for sharing your videos and information with us ALL. HUGS and GOD bless us ev1
Thanks alot Sandra
i love these types of videos thanks chris and keep it up

The ChapStick one is fantastic really
Thanks alot

It puts it on it's stick."
That's what she said 😂
if you live with someone dont let the tube with money get empty and thrown away
Sugar by itself is rather flammable.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing these hacks!
Your hide a bank charges high interest; you put in a fifty and it came out a twenty.
That's original did you read that in the comments?
The wife knows this hack & traded with him!🤣😂
It was a 20 and a 50.. the 50 was on the bottom of the 20 and you can see it when he flips the 20 and back, and then he quickly fans it.
You have to be really paying attention.
Are you kidding?!! LOVED it.
Thanks alot Adele
Thanks for getting to the point. Will keep watching 😊
Wow… Awesome video…Never knew about several of these hacks
Orange oil is way more effective for super glue & other adhesives. Plus it smells good.
Right on! Ill look it up
I think WD40 works as well
I like the tuna in a can worm up 2 thumbs up for that alone 😜
Thanks alot bud!
Good grief, the level of the sound at the beginning about blew up across the room. LOL. Thanks.
the tuna can is my favorite! so cool
Thanks bud
Keep the can closed. put a hole in it. stuff with any wick.
Wow, this was a great post !! Thanks !!
I wonder if potassium permanganate would react with glycerin suppositories
Yes
Potassium permagnanate can also be used as a purifier for water and also a disinfectant for your body
Should, yes

How is that Potassium stuff a standard household item? Dunno if its coz am in SCOTLAND but what is it used for in the home as an everyday item? Thanks in advance
the potassium permanganate will only work if the ambient temperature is above 70 degrees. i learned that the hard way.
That is why it is an "option" and not the only source. I recommend at least 5 types of Firestarters when camping, hiking, etc.
5:49 Where did you get that shoelace key? thanks
Yes very cool stuff, loved tuna & raman noodles
Fritos work very very well for starting fires
