Water purification is there yes. Mylar blanket purposely left out to save space 😊

@dirtyscoundrel2013 23 күн бұрын

@@wildnessoutdoors I missed the water purification. Honestly, I teach survival, and I was with search and rescue,bso please don't be offended. Less cotton would help save space. And shelter is more important than feeding your belly. I'm a huge proponent of food in survival kits but with such limited space I'd go with tampons, Fitch the cotton and peanut butter for a blanket. Let's be realistic. Your survival emergency will probably be over in 24-72 hours. You're not going to be out there long enough that you'll have to resort to making char cloth. You won't die of starvation but you can die of expose without a shelter. I'd replace a cheap plastic poncho with a Mylar one also. JMHO

Great video! These old timers in France were stacking tealight candles in a plastic tube and using one of them to start their fires. That and their old zippos and they were good to go for starting a fire. One of them swore by a little jar about 2/3 times the height of the tealight and he could hold twigs over the top to get them lighted. He said it works a dream in wind and rain.

@@wildnessoutdoors I'm surprised Sir, because I cant think of seeing a bushcrafter on youtube with a candle, but I think it must be a really good idea. Being wax, candles are waterproof. Plus if you get a big fat candle and you only light them long enough to get tinder going (2 mins) they could surely last for 100's of fires? edit: Just googled it, a large thick candle can last 40-60 hours, a very big one (too big for backpacking probably) can last up to 100 hours! That must make for a LOT of campfires

I was going to put some Vaseline infused cotton-balls inside a ziploc bag and then those inside of a plastic pill bottles and leave them in my truck in case of an emergency. Obviously at times the truck is sitting in the sun during the summer - do you think there is any problem with them getting too hot and combusting or melting enough that the liquid would make it out of the pill bottle?

@wildnessoutdoors 6 ай бұрын

I don't think it's possible for them to combust without an actual spark. Maybe put them beside a heater in a safe environment as a test?

@jeffa847 6 ай бұрын

@@wildnessoutdoors Maybe I'll have to get the garage toaster oven out and do a test when it stops snowing. Apparently the inside of a car can get up to 180 or something like that in extreme cases. I read elsewhere that petroleum jelly does not combust and that is one the things that makes it so great for this purpose. They said that you cannot start P.J. on fire with a flame (?! - This is going to be tested.) Apparently it is the cotton that burns which in turn gets the P.J.. hot enough to boil it and cause a vapor that is flammable but that the PJ alone is similar to a candle wax - it needs a wick. To get those vapors it needs to get up to 400 F. They claimed that the plastic jar will burn before the PJ will. I still would like to make sure and also make sure it is not going to melt and work its way onto my truck carpet

@@wildnessoutdoors I work in conditions as low as -50 below Fahrenheit during SAR missions and can tell you for certain that you won't find a lighter in anyone's back. To rely on a small spark that a lighter produces when someone's life is ACTUALLY in danger, not just in theory, is no time to rely on anything other than hundreds of years of reliability. BTW, it's normally the "Hard Core Survivalists" that we are called out to rescue.

I built an alcohol stove with an old Daisy pellet can I had laying around in 2017ish. I used some welders' carbon felt instead of fiberglass to absorb the liquid, no spills, some screening from a tea leaf strainer to hold the felt in place. It holds 2 oz. or 60 ml of alcohol and with 1 oz of fuel will burn over 15 minutes. I use a Zen Camps wind screen/burner that works with alcohol or solid fuel and, though not designed that way, have used a small twig fire inside. I like things that can work with multiple options. At 76 years old, I like things that work well rather than being the lightest thing in the world. Function over form as it were.
