- When we all have to take a bite of that big SHTF sandwich that's coming, we need to be as effective as possible. Here's how I apply the 80/20 rule to survival and prepping kit and skills.
Effectively employing the 80/20 rule in any survival situation, especially long term SHTF scenarios, is going to be a game changer. In this video, we discuss why this is so and break down using the 80/20 role. I start by explaining the 80/20 rule and how to apply it to a simple task all of us are familiar with: sweeping the kitchen floor. From there, we get into the reasoning behind the rule and take one of the most important survival skills, fire building, and explore kit and knowledge as it relates to the 80/20.

Seriously though, there are very few CZcamsrs that are a significant fraction as practical and educational as you are in this genre. Looking forward to your hit piece on them
I've got a write-up I did where I blast "Apocalypse Ninjas," my words for them. I don't know that I'll name names...🤔
And thank you for the props. 🙏
People crossing the prairies in wagon trains collected buffalo chips to cook over. I have a couple of small folding twig stoves I will use rather than a large fire unless I need heat. I am learning wild local food sources that early indigenous people survived on in my area. It is surprising what is available. I don't have a better place to go and too old to be trekking. My knives are carbon steel and I am always on the lookout for cheap propane tanks.
Been using Flint (or quartz, or obsidian) and steal with char cloth or other charred materials since I was a kid. Had my steal well over 40 years and never had a problem starting a fire with a bit of char cloth. You also can char lots of other natural materials. Cotton tee shirts work great, but even old paper towels can work. Lots of other things can produce sparks. Many one burner camping stoves have strikers. The sparker for welding torches, & even a used up lighter can still spark up charred materials. That said a lighter is much easier. I like the long ones, especially if they can be refilled.
Nice! 🔥🔥🔥
Great video. I should get some flint or firestick for when and if my lighters give up. Thank you for the tip on how to get tinder dry.
I do not know as much as I should yet and always seek to keep learning. This may be useful to some...
Not everyone has bees, but I do. I can say a bees' wax coating on cardboard, paper, leaves and the like will be waterproof or just an old bee frame can be a game changer. Once you create a flame, even when the wax coated material is wet, the wax coated material will burn very hot for a short while. It will get a fire going fast even when your material is not completely dry. I hope this is helpful.
I've got bees too. 🥳
Here birch bark is easy to find..
Always have 2 or 3 ways to light a fire.
For me, if you can start a fire with a ferrorod by the knowledge how to prepare tinder and kindling you are able to do it with a lighter or matches anyway. Once having a fire startet than dry tinder next to it for the next fires.
A magnifying lens is not always working but good to have. You could and maybe should be able to start a friction fire or use flint and steel and prepare charcloth but in reality i use my bic everytime. Because it is efficient, fast and easy.I always have 2 bics in edc and a small ferrorod as backup.it May sound lazy but you should always use the easiest way to get a reasonable result , this is true for many situations in life (not always)but especially when it comes to survvival.
Guess thats what you saying.
As Mors Kochanski used to say, "The more you know, the less you need."
💯👍🔥 I been learning this a couple years now.
Nice! 🥳

I own many a fire starting tool.. including bags of bics , flint ect. But as a plumber my go to is always my map gas torch 😂
Great video as always thanks.

Great video, thank you

Where I live, I'm surounded by junipers, and juniper bark is super combustible. Especially if you strip it down to strands.
With that and a carbon steel knife and a fire steel, it's easy to start a fire. You can collect dead branches off the ground under the trees real easy.
I've have it on good authority that juniper wood burns great green. I haven't tried it yet, but I know an old well driller that had to cut it during the winter when he was a kid, burning it green. You done that? I haven't tried it yet.
@@efficientinthefield juniper will still burn even when it's green as shit. You won't get as hot of a fire as seasoned juniper, but that shit will last all night.
I'm a dumb ass but my wife has a masters degree in accounting and she totally understands the 80/20 rule 😆
👁👁 Good stuff, dude.
🙏
Road flares
What if ya made an 80/20 involving efforts with money? What guys waste money on. Fantasy red dawn situation gear vs reality of necessities. Great videos 🤙🏻
Not a bad idea at all. 🙏
efficient in the field , my pops and uncles , grandpa always stock piled ammo as do I. But 99% of our ammo is basically target ammo. We are all war veterans and uncle Sam don't buy hollow points. What do you think about this? 80/20 rule , is it worth it?
Depends. An HP can make up the difference from a bad hit with an FMJ. Shot placement trumps all other metrics though. I do personally believe in high quality ammunition because every shot is critical. It's not for fun anymore in SHTF. You're only taking the shots you have to take. They all need to count.
I have yet to be so desperate as to have to make a fire with shit. 😅😂😅 Seriously though, every skill should be explored. I know how to make a friction fire in theory, but I haven't done it. I know how to build a self feeding fire, but I haven't done that. Knowledge and experience don't always mate. I should put my knowledge to the test, and so should everyone.
Agree! 💯
