no just the combo of rain and humidity, probably lost all my water weight. Thanks for watching
Gudday from Australia! Mate I'm starting out to do some bug out camps and your channel is the best u have seen so far!!!! Keep it up mate!!!
Hay cpl how do you persevere the fat wood from drying out? Thx 4 all the intel.😎♠️
I wont dry out. Thanks for watching
Hey i recognized a morakiv spark on your influencer page and i was just wondering if you recommend it over a bushcraft black?
I've been making those fire discs (as I call them) for years now. All you need is cotton face cleaning pads, some used candle wax (around 4 tablespoons worth), 1 tablespoon of petroleum jelly and a metal bowl. Heat up the wax and petroleum jelly, mix well then soak the cotton pads in it. I keep them in my used pellet cans. Saves a lot of money
"I love the smell of fatwood in the morning, it smells like, victory." Great vid as always.
Hah you like smelling fat wood 😂
Good video. I have to make mention of your quick ridge line set up. I was camping in the Guadalupe mountains this Pat's week and just had my hammock set up. It was around 1:30 am when I heard the first crack of lightning and then smelled rain, got up deployed the ridge line and poncho not sure how fast I could reasonably say in or around 2 minutes. I was back in my hammock and remained dry. That is one reason I practice at night a lot. Once more thanks for sharing your ideas. I give credit where credit is due.
One of the best firestarters are Vaseline impregnated cotton balls. I have also experimented with Vaseline coated Qtips. They really extend you Vic lighters fuel life and are used like a match
It's nice to see all these methods. It gives you some options.
2 great options to add:
1) Doritos. Yes, doritos burn slow and easy.
2) cotton balls dipped in Vaseline. I store these in film canisters or prescription bottles.
I use both of those, they work extremely well.
From the looks of it that's basically what the fire putty is.
Where are you getting film canisters?
How susceptible are all these when starting a fire in heavy winds or light to medium rain? Maybe you could cover in another video. Would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Instead of carrying regular candles, Walmart sells " trick" Re- Light Candles, which self ignite if blown out, at only .97 cents a dozen. Plus, they're festive as hell.
I know everyone knows cotton balls and vaseline...but what I like to do is make a double boiler and put the vaseline in the top and heat it until it's a liquid...then soak the cotton balls In the liquid for a couple minutes..remove to cool....put in a tinfoil wrap for strage... it will burn for at least 30 min...and I've used one to light a fire in the winter with snow covered frozen wood
I use the cotton from the filter of the wash dryer soaked with candle wax, burns for hours.
@@hurmzz strike anywhere matches with the stick wrapped in toilet paper and dipped in candle wax a few times are good too
DimebagCFH3 then try the storm proof matches wrapped in cotton/medical dressing and dipped in candle wax, they turn into a rocket match!
I was thinking about how to make wax dipped cotton balls possible to rip apart... I guess if you dip vaseline soaked cotton balls in liquid wax, it might just work like crazy, Next bushcraft stove project for me.
I had a little experiment a couple of weeks ago. I thought “what could I do with what’s in my pack if out in the field and having trouble lighting a fire.
I have mini infernos but what if I didn’t? So I made a down & dirty super match from things I carry. A cotton ball soaked in Vaseline with 4 cheap stormproof matches (haha, hardly, but have titans now) spaced around the ball and all held together with duct tape. I lit it up and started the stop watch on my phone. I was pleased to see I still had flame after 10 minutes. On another note, when you reviewed the Arcturus survival blanket I already had one on order. It arrived and I was very impressed with the quality. What an awesome product. Anyway, thanks for another great video.
Cheers from Australia. 🦘🦘🦘
These are great tips. Do you know there’s only 1 prepper shop in the U.K. they also claim to be the only one in Europe. That’s how rare it is to find prepping or preppers over here. Of course that means prices are ridiculously high & finding people of s similar mindset so rare. x
How about outdoor gear stores? They normally carry different types of fire starters, albeit the best I have found there is ferro rods and fatwood... but, hey... it's fatwood and ferro rods, not too shabby!
Flashahol We have camping stores & things of that nature, it’s just so limited in comparison to what you have available to you over in the USA. It’s just not a big thing here & I find it so enjoyable to watch CC & other videos of the same sort of things, very few likeminded people here too unfortunately.
Another great video! I like the facts that you provide, about these items. You always demonstrate everything so clearly. Thank you.
There's no way on earth that one's not completely prepared to survive almost anywhere after watching Corporals Corner videos! I'm going from a novice survivalist to Bring that Fire in my Face and You Shall Get It Slapped Right Back on Yours, dragonly fast and precise. Well, at least that's how strong I feel after learning what he's been teaching. Thank You, Sir!
Another great wet-weather fire starting aid is the humble candle. A candle will maintain a steady heat for a considerable time, and produces a surprising amount of heat. One can even get candles in metal tubs that have up to 3 wicks, and can boil a litre of water in 8-12 mins, depending on the ambient temperature. Tea lights are great because they are flat, and can slip in under a bundle of kindling and just burn away till the fire inevitably starts. The larger varieties are guaranteed to get a fire going in no time. If one is compiling a survival tin a candle is a great idea - cut a domestic candle in half (about 6"), and shave off some wax on two opposing sides, making it quite flat (much less space than a round candle). Take a wooden school ruler and cut in half. Place each half along the flat candle surfaces and bind up with a length of duct tape. Why? To ensure it doesn't accidentally get broken for some reason. Also the wood of the ruler can be used for a small amount of kindling, while the duct tape can serve as excellent tinder. [Note: this is not my original ides - this was our Scout Master's idea, from my schoolboy days!]
If you can get hold of them, the British Army Arctic survival candles are the very best. They are amazing, and generate a massive amount of heat, while also being completely edible!
Thanks for the great videos. I enjoy your sense of humour enormously!
Another outstanding video! Love seeing your tools you’ve built in the background. Keep me coming Corporal Kelly. I’ll keep watching.
Really appreciate your video and no nonsense approach, straight to the point useful information without a bunch of rambling.
As always to the point and informative. That putty stuff is pretty cool for the floating and shaping it.
Good info for those of us in rainy Oregon!
Rotten stumps. Any thing still solid is full of pitch and will burn great
Nice video. Really is helpful to see each method demonstrated. Makes it so much easier to remember the skill when needed.
Fatwood is always a part of my fire kit but have never tried these other types of starters. Thanks for showing them to us .
Love your videos, they are always very informative
Great train up Marine......
Good job...
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING ALL OF THIS OUT THERE...
I will be honest when I first saw this video I thought, ab not more gimmicks. I am a huge fan of your channel thought I would give it a go even if it was a sponsors video. I have to say you changed my perspective a bit. Everything has a place, at times such as an emergency when hypothermia is setting in you may not be afforded the time to do it the old fashioned way. So I guess to sum it up, another great video it has a purpose and a clear point. Thank you for sharing Sir. Cheers from Canada
Shawn
It’s not a sponsors video. I will tell you when it is.
Again another fantastic video simply made but to the point. Always learning good stuff with your Corporal Kelly, thanks again.
Going back and watching some of your old vids, and watching the whole thing to keep your view times up! Duck tape rolls impregnated with magnesium shavings are great too!
Great stuff! This is one of the best outdoor channels out there! Straight to the point practical stuff👌🏻
Your videos are so informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for sharing your videos. And keep up the good work.
If I know I will be in a situation where I must, absolutely, positively have to get a fire started asap... I take a 20 minute road flare.
Awesome vid as always!! I will definitely get me some Pyro putty!! I love the inferno cake they are awesome as well I have taken them on many camping trips!!!
I see why you're one of the instructors that's Pathfinder School you're very knowledgeable and you're very good teacher
I'm not a Pyro, but I love being the one to build our camp fire. These ideas you have are great. Can hardly wait to try them. Thank you for sharing!
Great instructional video....I’m leaving on July 25 for a 4 day Solo Canoe trip on one of our area rivers 87 miles from launch to finish. Keep up the good work your channel is one I recommend to my hiking and canoeing associates.
Never forget 00 steel wool and a 9 volt battery, very light and easy to pack.
I think it needs to be dry.
Thanks Shawn...I knew about SHREDDING old duck tape into fine fibers for a loose ball to use with a Ferro, but Sgt. "Major Malfunction" here didn't think...well just roll it up..numbknuts..😂 I have rolled it up on a stick for an improvised torch...good Lord...
Outstanding video thank you, I carry all these but the pyro putty, Another favourite I like is compressed Trioxane
Younger corporal. Same no nonsense delivery of vital info. Love it.
Thank you for providing this valuable information!
Outstanding video sir. It was great meeting you at the gathering I will see you next go around.
Can totally make those mini infernos. Flat “cosmetic” cotton discs (or squares) saturate with WD40 and dip in wax. Heck of a lot cheaper than the mini inferno. And the WD40 will burn for about 10-15 minutes.
Outstanding info Cpl. I use fat lightered all the time. I live in South Georgia & we literally "grow" it down here. Love your videos, great job as always. South Georgia SGT. US Army RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!
I really enjoy your teaching style. You have helped me learn alot.
I also like using the candle made from cardboard, wax and an old tin that you made a video on, it works well too!
That pyro putty looks like a blend of a soft wax with something like wood flour.
On a more DIY front, candle wax, petroleum jelly, etc. as water proofing accelerant, with sawdust, paper, cotton ball, cotton cloth, etc. as wick and sustainer.
Sounds like you should patent a fire tender formula and market your own brand.
Another great show and very informative thanks corporal
Taught my older slower brother and son about some wonderful firestarters and fire assist, and used uop some old saved rendered fat, and other such easily caught sparkers.... was so fun. Thanks man, for the opportunity to share and make something useful from salvage soap ingredients et all.... You rock, dude. A dear friend of mine who used to hike along with me in winter at shorgrass prairie area, with a few clumps of trees... well, he taught me some great firestarters, and we even hunted together for fun and cameraderie and exploration more than all... we still always when we had enough, had the means for a good quick fire from even damp materials near in those trees, deadfall, no pine or anything, spruce, birch, all good, and twigs and twigs and bedding area twigs, ... upside down fire..... oh, dude, thanks for this vid....... what great memories and lessons for my young ones in winter too. Jut go snowshoe out somewhere, if needed not too far, in old hunting field, in prairie, and have a little fire and soup. And quick enough to make, with right stuff. A lesson that will stay for life. Thanks for today.
Another Awesome video thank you for all the hard work you do in the making of your videos truly awesome content 💪👍
Right on,thanks for sharing brother!
Great information! I have used cotton wipes with petroleum jelly with round cotton wipes (Dollar store) works great.
I just purchased the bottle kit from Self Reliance Outfitters and the tin of fire starter is included..im excited to try it!
Awesome thx for sharing , i have the stuff from pathfinder , since i bought their canteen kit but the putty is nice as well
Thanks for the video. I always carry "Fatwood" with me. My family gave me Pyro Putty ECO Blend for Father's Day! I'm excited to go out and film it. As a Veteran, I also use "Knife" hands when I talk. Keep the videos coming.
During Az "monsoon" this would be handy. We get a rain and snow mix on the mountains. Good thing we have alot of Pine. Thank you.
thanks for the vid!! Now I have a few more stuff to add to my list!! Keep it up Corporal!!
Hiya, Corporal's Corner! This was the very 1st of your videos that I have seen; thank you very much for the benefit of your experience! The tips about duck or gun tape are especially new to me; very useful in a pinch!
You have a pair of nice, resinous cones there in the thumbnail, and by way of reciprocating your favour, I'll leave a quick note for the few souls who have not yet discovered that while pinecones ignite super easily under pretty much any condition, if they're used as tinder/fuel just as they are, they can explode, shooting bits of burning resin a surprising height and distance from the actual burning cone(s), and at a truly astonishing velocity.
All the best!
The pyro puddly has a striking resemblance to C-4, but absolutely not recommend to the general public. We used it when we ran out of heat tabs, cooking our C Rations (the cans came in a rectangle box). Yay, I'm old school, Platoon 3037 graduated 9May1977, and 2-1/2 year in 2/7 1st Mar Div. with all that said, Cpl. Kelly hits it on the head: prepare, improvise, adapt, and you well over-come.

Thanks Shawn. Great video; great info.
Mr Kelly , another outstanding video sir . I'm a recent subscriber but have watched you since the beginning ( apologies on that, I had forgotten my password ,no excuses ) and here comes the second apology because my first comment in addition to thanking you for your amazing content should have included thanking you for your honorable service to this country as a United States marine ! So thank you for all you did then as well as all you do now !
Great "real" info as always. Thanks for keeping it educational and not sensationalizing.
Thanks heaps for this information. We are limited in Western Australia on quality products so seeing this helps. Thanks again, from cougar.
Thanks for showing the functionality of these items. Ty for the video
A BIG HELLO FROM THE UK 👍LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND THANK YOU FOR THE HEADS UP TOP TIP HAVE A BLESSED DAY 👍👍
Had not seen this before. Great video and great job. Very informative.
Semper Fi. Charles
Some very good ideas thank you
FIRE (for effect)!!! That putty looks fun. I'll check some out next time I am over at SRO. 👍
pyro putty isn't at SRO. Its on my amazon site. The only thing at SRO as stated in the video is the mini inferno disks. Thanks for watching
I'll get some there and just give Burleigh some grief the next time I am at the shop then. 😜
One of my favorite RUclipsrs. Been following you for years. Remember when you didn’t have that many subs...
That flaming moon pie looks awesome! Fire hates me... I need these. All of em. Outstanding as always.
Excellent work thank you.
Some nice tips there Corp. I'll be sure to use them, have fat wood already in my fire kit. Keep the faith.
Simple. No bs. Like always...perfect video:)
Very nice, complete tips, thank you!
Love it, and keep it coming. Great info!
Another outstanding video! I've used all of the fire starters you mentioned except the putty...amazing stuff. My favorite is the fatwood and to save me trouble of looking for it as most of the trees in my region are deciduous is to buy it by the box at Walmart, I believe at $10 per box. I fill a couple of Altoids tins with fatwood shavings and pack two sticks just n case; together with 2 or 3 votive candles in a dedicated fire kit pouch. BTW, heartiest congratulations on your 209K subs.
Thank you, Corporal Kelly!!
Great, thanks. Explained really well
I'm glad there's other you tubers that show you how to make your own fire disc
Yeah those mini infernos are just 100% cotton pads you can get in the women's make up aisle. Than they're dipped in melted petroleum jelly and dipped in wax. For the price and the amount you get you can easily go out buy everything to make you a mountain of them and still have a couple bucks in your pocket.
Also the pyro putty just looks like 100% cotton just squished up together in colored petroleum jelly.
@@JoeXTheXJuggalo1 the way the pyro putty was sputtering, it had something else in it also - probably an oxidizer. Not suggesting a specific one, because there is a fine line between melted wax with an oxidizer added, and a flaming pot of rocket fuel.
Great lesson....... thanks corporal 's corner......👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good to go! Thanks, Brother.
Great Video.
Fat Wood is a Go To for me and is easily found even up North. (The best method is to look for the Stumps of downed Pine Trees. They will always have a high impregnation of Pine Sap.) Also if you want a small hot Fire find a half rotten Pine Tree and kick out the Pine Knots. They burn nicely.
The Mini Inferno's we used to make way back when in Boy Scouts. We always added some Magnesium to make them burn hotter. (I have them in my Pocket or Fall into the Water Kit.)
Always carry a minimum of 3 ways to start a Fire. Mine are a Flint and Steel Kit, (prefered) Fire Steel and Lighter. My Wife Carries Waterproof Matches, a Doan's Bar and a Fresnel Lens.
Always grab Tinder as you move and put it in an inside Pocket so it dries. (I actually have a smallish Gore Tex Bag for this.)
I used that duct tape trick last time i went camping because everything was wet. Worked like a charm
Great video 👍 I'm always looking for new products to keep a fire in wet weather thinks corporal 👌👊
Awesome video, great add on to any kit
Outstanding Video...Freedom for all people..
Awesome video Thanks for sharing it 👍
Cpl awesome video thank you for posting this
thank you corporal.
Another great video Boss...I may be a little bias but I love the mini inferno. The little Miss wants to order some pyro putty too. We just collected some sap from the pines in our front yard, love that smell.
Carry on
Thanks for the video Cpl. Kelly, always nice to see new things . Bought some stuff called insta fire , fire starter got it at Walmart,$1.00 , lights up to 4 fires and comes in a water proof bag . Haven’t used it yet, can’t say much about . Try it out when you got time see what you think .
Have a grate week !
Nice choice of items. The putty is new to me. I need to get me some of that. Also i like your shirt..................
Thank you!, have a nice day!.
Take time to make time to learn something. Thank you Sir.
Thank you for the video.
Solid video. Value added content for the community.
Keep up the awesome videos! Great job
Very valuable info, thanks! 👍
Loved it, super informative!
Awesome video, budd!! Thanks for sharing!!
I personally like birthday candles for non natural choice, but that's my choice. The pyro puddy is definitely nifty stuff from what you've shown. I may have to check that out for myself. Love fat wood for natural choice.
As always as good,love it
We have plenty of fatwood in Arkansas where I live and that is something I learned many years ago when I was young and we had to make fires in our grandparent's heater and wood stove. I have duct tape in my backpack and at home, but didn't know about it being used to start a fire, but will remember this and hope you are having a great day.
Bicycle rubber inner tube....great in wet weather.
