The Best Homemade Fire Tinder Demonstration

DRYER LINT its free and burns better

nice video dude. where can i get a flint strike?

nice!

perfect, thanks!

I've made torches by wrapping birch bark around the end of a stick. Thick layers of it. Birch bark has resin and oils in it that ignite like paper and keep burning for awhile. The next thing i'm gonna tell you, you should only do in an emergency or when it's completely nessesary. You can take your knife and cut a thick strip of bark of the tree. It will peel of the tree in a circle all the way around. This works great. IT WILL most likley kill the tree. Practice: only dead tree or outer shavings

i suppose you can use that to make a torch too... Any ideas on how to make natural long burning torches in the forest? I can't find any info anywhere.

keep on going ryan, great easy realistic info!

Oh my bad dude, I see now that I wasn't clear enough. (Thanks!) I was actually asking mrjxn the question about impregnating the cotton balls with the baby oil. I wanted to know how long they kept after saturating them with the baby oil before they started to possibly dry out. They work great when you immediately use them--better than the petroleum jelly.

I've been using stored P.J.-cotton balls for years. But hey man, nice video. A lot better than some of the other videos on tinder.

Thanks for the suggestion. For some reason this comment was never sent to my inbox. It's been happening quite a bit. Thanks

More power to you Bro. I prob put less P.J. on mine.

The tinder in this demo was at least a month old. I took it from my kit. I didn't make it for the vid. P.J. lasts years. Thanks Dude.

Never thought about baby oil before. Just did a comparison b/w the baby oil-cotton ball & the Petr. Jelly-cotton ball. I'm very impressed with the baby oil. It lasted quite a few minutes longer than old faithful (i.e., Petroleum Jelly).

I guess my main question is, does it work as well stored as it does when you impregnate the cotton ball immediately? If not, hey, least it's a better backyard tinder.

Thanks for the suggestion.

mine didint get that black that fast mine lasted 30 min then i got board and poured water on it

i did this it worked great

baby oil also works on cotton balls and its a little cleaner than pj

I've seen P jelly last for Many Years in it's original container. I would give the Cotton and PJ a shelf life of a least 2 years, minimum. Thanks
