excellent trick, officially stolen!
Stolen! Lol! I never said I came up with this method, just showing friends new ways to start fires because obviously from the comments most people haven’t seen it, Besides, I’ve been dipping matches in wax for 20 years.
+sootch00 I think I read the comment wrong : ) Sorry.
I usually declare stolen when I find something I want to learn, keep, and share with others.Kinda like a warning that I will probably show others this meathod
+SensiblePrepper So, in a sense this is a Striking candle of sorts.. Great trick.. Please keep sharing your great ideas…
Nice info video bro !!!
I have a fire starting method in my mini and micro survival kits that I have not seen on any survival video but I’m sure I can’t be the only one to think of it. I got a box if roll your own cigaret filter tips, soaked them in rubbing alcahol thin fed them into a drinking straw witch I fire sealed at both ends so that the rubbing alcahol does’nt evaporate.there burn time is about 2-3 mins.
thanks Sensible prepper
don’t forget about potassium permanganate and glycerin they spontaneously combust when added together
look up the Rudiger Roll
use a tissue
i have a alcohol stove and i did some experimenting with candle and alcohol what I’ve found from cooking with a candle is it turns your entire bottom of the pan black! and is a mess alcohol doesn’t leave a mess the candle matches are great to start big fires but not cooking with candles what i do is i have a tube and i stuff a bunch of toilet paper in the tube and dowse it with alcohol everytime i start a fire i take a piece of the paper and light it and it stays lit! except for the candles probably stay lit for bigger fires and wet weather of coarse.
You can do all that with a knife, firesteel, and cotton. Why would anyone use a pencil sharpener when they have a knife. But hey, I am sure peope need to learn about stuff like this, they got to start somewhere.
H Frendal pencil sharpener uses:
Makeshift tent stakes
fishing spear
wood shavings for tinder to save knife edge and also if fine motor control is limited, preventing feathersticks from being possjble
backup blade if you really really need it
Makeshift arrow tips without the need to knap flint
the uses of items are only limited by your imagination…
This is a very good tip. Thanks.
dryer lint works well
