Great video mate , New subscriber here. Just ordered a Polish bread bag yesterday. The best firestarter I have found so far is a small jar of sawdust saturated with kerosene. It will not drip or spill and just half a teaspoon of the stuff will catch a spark right first time. It will burn long enough to give you ample time to add twigs. Candle wax produces an enormous amount of soot which seem to go on everything.

Nice video. I made the same firelighters - they will light from a spark, but it is easier if you tear them in half and the sparks land on the fluffy torn edges

Good video I like the Polish Bread bag and your Kuksa. Just a FYI. I too drink a lot of tea when out and about. I don't throw the used tea bags out, I stock pile them until its time to clean up camp and pack to go home. What I do is take a little water put it in a cup throw in the used tea bags, let them soak and use them as a scouring pad to clean my pots and such, for me, it works good.

Thanks Daniel for taking the time to comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. ☺️ good tip with the tea bags, but unfortunately I don’t drink tea, I’m strictly a coffee dude. Although sometimes I do use coffee bags so I’m guessing the same principle would apply 😃👍

If you make your own fire disks again in the future, before putting the cotton pads into your wax, dip them into some lantern oil or tiki torch oil as an accelerant, then dip into wax. That way, it will ensure a sure start fire.

Your wax tinder didn't light because wax can't be lit with wax and you coated the whole piece inside and out with it. It's great once you get a fire going but it won't take a spark. If you want to use it to catch a spark you need to leave a portion of it unwaxed that you can shred or scrape to light.

Hi Andy, some quality gear there mate, I really like the bag, I’ll. e looking at one of those 👍. Last purchase for me was the fishing gear which I’m chuffed about, getting ready for a catch and cook session 👍. Next camp is this Friday, I’m out with Leon again but just a quick one. I saw your post on Instagram mate with regards to joining you and Mike on the 1st. Thank you for the offer and would have come but I’ve got a few camps planned over the summer holidays mate and if I agree to another the wife will absolutely destroy me 🥺. Mike is top host, you’ll have a great time with him Andy, he’s one funny chap. Thanks for the video and a look into your new items.

Loving your vids mate, you convinced me to get the polish lavvu, and when I bought it they chucked in a polish bread bag for free! Didn’t come with any sort of strap though. Do you have a shoulder strap or something? My latest purchase was parapocalypse cord. I saw it on Ray Mears’s website. 7 strands of nylon, fishing line, snare wire, heatproof string and waxed jute all in one cord! Keep it up bud
