hey guys one way to always have good tinder is to take a half full vasoline container and heat it until the gel starts to break down a bit. then shove shredded dryer lint in it. that stuff will burn for 4 times longer than paper and will get super hot.

Wow this is the best survival teaching

Hello my great prepper friend just popping in on another one of you're great videos here from Canada once again simply to offer you a suggestion although I've yet to try this method myself personally but from what I was told about it on another survival channel that as when it come to using Isopurple Alcohol for making fires as such as you raised here a very good point being as its difficult to see the flame!!! And its been said as the simplest Soulution for that is to simply add a bit of salt in the can ahead as it illuminates the flames so as to be able to greater see it and wiser the point being as will even prevents or safe guards oneself from the dangers of possibly getting burns !!!! try this method and simplly see if it actually does the actual job !?! Ok Then please do me a favor along with all you're great channels veiwers and let me and everyone no the overall re-salts/ results lol and one more kind tip set aside those potato chips experiment and simple try using CORN CHIPS instead they do work wonders in fact they will in fact surprisingly prove as to burn quite along enough time to get a nice warm and cozy blazing fire started !!!!! THANK YOU and Hope you and you're great Family has a very 🎄Merry Christmas 🎁and a🎉 Happy New Year 🥂Cheers !!Truth Out!🍁

I am going to order it🥰

@@danishgirl4781 Thank you so much! 😃

I love the funny voices too! Makes my day.

You noticed that too!!! 😍

Yes!!❤

💗💗💗

Initiation

Very cool! I’ve never heard of that before.

Absolutely works wonders too brother I did it too . My papaw said they used tea candles in Germany under their big ass cold weather issue coats

Wow! Good info also😊

@@2ballsyourjaws YUP.....I am 70.....we use wool blanket and tea-lite candle in hunting stands to this day.....stay toasty

This is why I have a beefy candle in my truck.

❤

Your creating a layer of warm air and trapping it between the two bags. By being snug all the work that your foot does goes past that first bag and creates a nice warm layer which is held in by the second bag. Makes perfect sense

Us kids way back used bread bags. It worked.

As a child, in a family of 8 children we had one pair of boots each; in order to keep our feet dry and warm, we wore bread bags on them inside our boots🤓🇨🇦

@@doreenchiasson2878 we had a wooden trunk full of men's/boys galoshes with the metal closures. No girls boots. Some girl at school made fun of me. Some people are just not kind.

The Army hand warmer was peeing in a bottle. Squeeze as much air our as ya could then tighten the cap..Put the bottle in your armpit, or groin area to warm the large arteries❤️ For the groin one, you are aiming for hip crease when ya pick your knee up.. But the armpit one worked best if ya had to be mobile while warming up👍

Glad you made it out 💪🏾

Thanks for you guys advise seeing I'm sleeping in my truck temporarily

@@plutoslikk1404 I like the oil lamp and alcohol candles, haven't made one yet but lots of ideas on yt video's

@@plutoslikk1404 if you have access to a microwave at a store, take soda bottles full of water, like two or three and microwave them for about 3 minutes till they are hot but not melty, and use those as hot water bottles to heat up your sleeping bag, put them by your feet and or your core You can reuse these without refilling them and just reheat them every night, they will go a long way to making you comfortable

I think you mean CO (Carbon Monoxide).

@@pawpawstew ...but, you will also be in trouble if a build up was C02.

If you burn the rubbing alcohol by itself without any filler, it does not create CO , it's burns completely clean.

@@timsolomon8352 Try to find and use 90% alcohol rather the typical 70% as it burns cleaner.

Put a hood above the fire and add a pipe to vent outside. I personally rather a chimney to vent smoke outside then leave windows open. Without a chimney even open windows wont stop you from breathing co2 unless a hood over the fire and piped outside. Be sure pipe high enough so not so much back draft and sucks the smoke up not back draft back into the room

Great to know this! Thank you.

Thanks! I never knew about 9volts starting fires or using electrical tape before disposal!

Whoaah!

I put them in a little zip lock bag.

You're supposed to recycle used batteries. Our garbage company collects them with other recycling.

Wow.

Yeah, an autistic boy doing a tiktok challenge found this out the hard way. A very important piece of information you brought up.

Sorry but there isn't going to be a future. God is judging the US using the POTATUS.

When I was a kid we simply called that "scouting", i.e. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. 😋

@@NorthernKitty in today's world, boy scouts and girl scouts are the same thing.

@@Boobtube. you have to get your kids to work with you and then they will know more about survival of the way things are going to be in the near future.

Hi

I hope so. 😃

And he will remember it for the rest of his life after she burns the house down! ;-p Lock that steel wool up!

@@thewiredfox2691 😄😄😄

Teach her that alcohol burns mostly invisibly. There have been a few drivers in races in the past who have been badly burned in plain view of everyone, and nobody knows what the heck is going on as the person is flailing around.

Thank you there’s a stray cat 🐈‍⬛ been coming here for months poor thing out in zero now. ❤my husband built a cover over patio table and plug 🔌 in kitty bed 🛌 yet didn’t see prints, I pray outloud and pray to the gods but I see in s eyes the struggle is real. We named him MAGNE- Thors son.

Better to be safe than sorry.

Just good common sense. I live in Ca Central Valley. Super hot in the summer, mild to below freezing in the winter. But I’m always in the sierras. We’ve already, in October, had 14 degree weather, no snow, at 7400’. In both of my vehicles I have an “extreme cold kit”. Spare heavy jacket, winter warfare pants that can go over my jeans, food, water, blankets etc etc. either vehicle can bug out for a minimum of two weeks. The only limit is fuel for either vehicle.

My Dad taught us to always have an old coffee can (the actual metal kind, obviously not the plastic) with candles, matches, aluminum foil (light the candles, tealights or votive or jar candles work best, and place in the can and place the foil partially over the top to conserve the heat and help warm the coffee can) and bottles of water. Since we live in the Northern US we never know when the weather will change suddenly and with this kit plus a blanket or 2 you could survive for a while if you slide off the road. I've added an emergency blanket also.

Don't forget the emergency blankets and maybe even a first aide kit bandages and neosporin and little scissors and gauze and small and large bandages. Etc. Extra medications aspirin or some painkillers fever reducers. Of course water jugs is most essential to survival. And a small pan heat things like snow into water and coals and some ligter fluid I guess. A good knife and rope. Masking tape blankets food cans like sardines and protien food chill in cans and hand can opener. Things like fishermen use to pack in tool boxes and tools of corse crow bars. Matt's flares lights. All kinds of things people can prep for. Don't forget a pistol is still useful. And like if a wolf or bear decides to attack maybe shot gun warning might run them away from a person stuck in situations.

@@merrycraker1262 Remember toilet paper, eyedrops...

That was wild, very eye opening.

Sadly, our government has been doing it for years...weather manipulation. Look into Project Popeye & CERN. They create the crisis so they can give the solution, which always means taking our rights.

Same. Still dealing with the damage to my properties.

Grateful I am not totally dependant on the electrical grid. I used lots of these tips. No longer relying on the central heat.

THEY do some crazy stuff. Our government hates us.

Yep, a tried and tested old technique, known by many as a 'buddy burner.' It's mentioned in Dian Thomas' 'Roughing It Easy' book of camp cookery. A book well worth obtaining for anybody interested in this sort of thing.

We did that and also used a coffee can as a stove that was heated with the burner

No you didn't!!

@@davidcarothers3311 I did the same thing in Scouts. We would take an old coffee can, turn it upside down, use the pointed end of a can opener and open little holes all around the top sides of the can. You could put it over your buddy burner and cook on the top. We cooked hot dogs on them.

@@kareno7212 Also called a hobo stove.

Thanks for the tip! Same to you!

You can use a metal coffee can or big can from soups,stews,and juices works good and gives longer burn time.

@@jeffsmith8127 I totally agree with you Jeff. I guess the reason for the paint cans is that they seal tightly and prevent evaporation of the alcohol. Blessings to you.

Why not just leave the alkihol in the bottle until you're ready to light it?

@@fatillacing4131 What are you going to pour the fluid into or are you going to light it inside the plastic bottle🤨?

Rocket stove😊

I would just hate to burn tp. I mean in a disaster tp pretty important for its intended purpose. Lol😂

I guess that NO paint cans are stainless steel ?? PLS ADVISE??

Perfect example of why I build my house on the rock rather then sinking sand.. because when the storms of life come the holy spirit will guide your path straight through a relationship with Jesus Christ!

​@@Heseesyoutell it !!

4 branches of our military service? Highly unlikely. How did he do that?

Great tip! I do survival and the didn’t know the rust hack!🙌🔥❤️

I used to work at a Frito Lay distribution center - Fritos are a straight up fire hazard.

Fritos!!! 5 bucks a bag now. Cotton & Vaseline sounds good...

Orange peel will burn also

also the inside roll thing when the paper towels are done. little "faux" logs that make good kindling.

You can also just tear the individual filled pieces off and then dip them with a pair of tongs into a pot of melted wax...job done in one swoop.....works great with toilet rolls too....Maybe you'll think I'm off the wall, but a great way of processing a death/separation of a loved one....get the kids (and yourself) to write an authentic letter to a deceased/estranged relative/friend, maybe writing how much you'll miss them at Christmas and you'll be thinking of them etc....(a picture will suffice for the younger ones) then roll into a scroll, stuff with lint (maybe from the tumble dryer or dired grass) then dip into the tube into wax quickly and leave to 'set'. Then this can be used to light your fire on Christmas Day/Birthday/Feast Day etc....there is something primordial, ritualistic, ceremonial, cleansing about lighting a fire with intent and love. x. I am an Art Pyschotherapist and have seen first hand the therapeutic benefits of ritual in processing a beareavement or separation. Hope this helps...Greetings from Co. Kerry, Ireland. Blessings to all who read this x

​@@kerrynikki that's very thoughtful

Egg carton and dryer lint make for great fire-starters

I put 5 gal metal bucket wood stove inside 55 gal which then use PC fans to draw heat inside tent, cabin, box truck, camper.

Make a video for us 😊👍

@@valeriehancotte-galan4790 I sure will gathering pieces for stove now

@@King.DAVid.III2022 is video almost ready?

@@taxiridefun Good morning not yet but really gonna need one this week end. I sleep outside most every night 😴, but last night was nice in a storage building. I have everything except the 55 gal drum for plenum.. I was hoping to have a welder by now, but I've always built without one. The welder is for reconditioning off-grid batteries makes them like new. Welding with it is a bonus 🤓 but the can can be built in 30 minutes. Any metal box works to catch the heat sheet metal box.

You can twist toilet roll to make a wick too learnt that in prison 🤔👍

Probably my favorite fire starter is taking soaked paper towels. Whenever I make bacon, and I love bacon, I place 3-4 paper towels in the pan to soak up the oil. I don’t like putting the pan in the sink with all that crud. When everything is cool,I take that out, roll it up, and stick it in a ziplock. THE BEST fire starter. And it smells like bacon 😁👍

We have made large, and small generic Crisco candles, for a heater. These also use terra cotta clay planter pots, which the candles heat up.

5p note oil smokes alcohol burns clean and the soaked TP tho extinguished, can then be reused extensively

yep, dryer lint, been collecting them, too.

I stuff lint into toilet paper rolls and put them in stackable empty cans, like psyllium that our dogs get to prevent anal gland issues & eating poop.

Unfortunately, many municipalities in cold climates prohibit the use of wood stoves.

Wish I could install a wood burner in my fireplace but I rent rooms downstairs and the tenants would freeze! 😂

Thanks for this tip. My sparks have just been all over the place. Great to know a way to 'herd' them in the right direction! 🙂

Dunno if you’ll see this question, do you recall the name of your tuna can video? I’d like to try it for emergency cooking, better to practice before the power goes out. I have kids and want them as comfortable as possible in an outtage.

Thank you!!!

This just gives me more reasons to save those bags. Thanks!

works great unless your clothes start getting damp from trapped moisture.

Before trusting your life to it, please everyone, experiment with it at home, in your garage or back yard, under safe conditions. Make damn sure you give it a practice run at a time when you don't need it, so you know what to do when you do need it. It was an emergency fix to a situation I got myself into that would have otherwise possibly resulted in frost bite on toes and fingers. (But probably not, cuz I would have lit a small fire before I let that happen.) Which I had done in the past prior to that experience. I have used the shopping bags warm up since then, with no problems. Only yummy warmth on cold toes. The name brand insulation of outdoor gear, Thinsulate, only works so far, before it fails utterly. I suppose its only designed for a certain temperature threshold, and nothing lower. Ever accidently rip one of your Thinsulate gloves open? See what's inside? A very thin layer of styrofoam and a very thin, wispy layer of plastic around it. That's it. Anyway, common sense... Do a practice run. This will also help you figure out how many bags you will need per person.

You cutting trees like me, or doing carpentry? 😃

@@JakeKlineMusic a little carpentry and handmade decor pieces. 🙂

Your couch idea is brilliant! If there's no tent available, your "couch flip" & any heavy cloth, (&, if possible, plastic), on top, draped over it. That's a Lifesaver! Hope the somebody, somewhere, who will need this this winter, reads & remembers your post! Good Luck, All, & Stay Safe Out There!

Sometimes marketed as "canned heat" sometimes sold by restaurant suppliers for buffet warmers, those alcohol burning cans work with those (cheap) little folding square camp stoves. They are safe indoors, & will give some heat while warming up a small- medium pot of food or drink. I'm in Florida, we keep ours on hand for hurricane cooking, but they make so much heat that we just wait out the storm, then use them outside. Different locations, different problems! 🙂🍀🙏

Awesome idea! I also try to instill in elderly that they should put on layers of clothes and socks and warm slippers but do not just get into their pajamas and go to bed!!! It is important to have this discussion. It would be a great service project to go to senior centers and remind them of survival skills! Great for a high schooler who needs a project. 🤗

Indoor tents work, and you can make your own. Here's a fun story to illustrate the point: When I was a kid my family home used gas from our own property, which meant that it was free, but also meant that we were responsible for maintaining every part of the gas well. Generally, this was great. Our house was the warmest I've ever lived in most winters. Wood stove? Who needs a wood stove when you have free gas? Turns out, we did. Sometimes condensation in the well would freeze and block the pipes. This left us without cooking fuel or heat. My dad knew this, and he knew how to fix it, but he also had a seriously inconvinient habit of dying whenever I was seven years old. True, he only did it once, but that was enough to put a damper on things. Among other problems, this meant that whenever it got really cold (we live in Ohio, so "really cold" is -20 degrees American) the heat would go out because mom didn't know how to fix it. We'd have to call my twenty somthing brother-in-law to help. He always came quickly, but he wasn't always available, and ince he got there he'd have to hike a couple hundred yards intonwthe woods with tools, and that took some time. That meant some cold days and nights. I made blanket forts...for survival. Some of my family would bundle up and pull the blankets up to their chin. Noobs. Smarter kids would pull their heads under as well. I made a forteess of warmth atop my bed, under which I could play with my He Man action figures. Sure, it was cold at first, but it got warm pretty quick and I had room to play. Turns out the human body is a pretty good heater, especially when you're working up a sweat beating the everliving Hell out of Skeletor. I eventually learned how to clear the blockage in the gas pipes myself, and later moved into a home of my own with a wife, two kids, a wood stove, and a couple cords of "emergency" wood out back that we never really need. I still like to hang out under blankets. It's where I write most of my youtube comments : )

Very insightful and resourceful.

Energizer batteries are made in usa?

How many people throw away 9volt batteries that still have a charge in them?😉

They all still have a change in them.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! 👊

Thank you so much Alyse! That’s so nice of you.

Thank you. That’s the best compliment I could ever hope for.

A nice fire starter idea: buy some plain makeup remover pads, the 100% cotton ones. They can be either round or square, it doesn't matter. Melt some wax in a double boiler & dip those pads in the melted wax. You can dip only half the pad in wax or the whole pad. Then place on a rack or a piece of wax paper to dry. When they're dry, pack in a waterproof container. They make fire starting easy, especially the ones that are only half coated in wax. If you dried them on wax paper, just roll them up in the wax paper before storing them.
