  • Make your own survival matches. These start out burning hot and then maintain a good rate of burn for a considerable length of time. Yet they are still a compact sized package. These would be very effective at getting a campfire going quickly. At times when every minute counts, these could be a life saver in a survival situation.

    • Make A Tarp Tent Tipi ...
    Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
    Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
    I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires with or without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc

    Now some people might wonder why you would want to make and have these little babies, and you didn't mention it in your video Lonnie, but for those who are wondering... If you're stuck in bad weather or in a damp climate, dry tinder can be very hard to find. By using an inferno match like this, it burns long enough to dry and ignite your tinder which in turn will dry and ignite your firewood in progressively larger diameter pieces. As always, have your tinder and firewood collected and ready to go before you strike your match. Great video Lonnie, another lifesaver for those who choose to learn.

      I'm sorry that the words did not come out as I intended. I meant to say that these were an "adaptation" of your fire starters. Either way I hope that you get a boost in subs. You have a great channel that is very helpful to a lot of people.

      Far North Bushcraft And Survival not a problem at all, I thought “inspired by” was perfectly appropriate, no apology necessary! I’m glad to see people making them work for their environments and like the improvements you made. If I can find some “strike anywheres” I will be adding that to mine in the future. I thought they had quit making those and can never find them. Keep doing what you are doing, this is one of my favorite channels...there aren’t as many folks doing it in the cold weather like us so I find a lot of value in your channel.

      @@GrayBeardedGreenBeret Hi, this is just a thought, but you should start making strike anywhere matches since they're not being made anymore. Made in America and owned and operated by a veteran would make them sell like cigarettes. Thats just an idea I thought I'd send by you.

      @gw10758 Před 2 lety

      I made a couple of these and have several observations. 1. BURNING RUBBER - while flammable makes and AWFUL lot of TOXIC smoke .... if you are using these for lighting a 'close-in fire' you can get poisoned by the fumes. I will in the future use the rubber for other purposes.. such as ranger bands or seals. Gray Bearded Green Beret makes his completely waterproof (more or less) so you on need to have them in a baggie..... jes sayin....

    Strike Anywhere Match story: 1966, my parents bought a grocery store. Strike anywhere matches (SAMs) were part of our inventory. One day, while stocking the shelves, a stocker dropped a case of the SAMs. You guessed it. Immediate sulfurous smoke filled the store. Fortunately, the stocker grabbed the box and ran to the incinerator, which was only too happy to contain the smoke and fire. And, love both of your channels.

    • @wmluna381

    when you first light that puppy up, it is definately an inferno, lol. A few of those in a waterproof case for a "gotta have a fire and everything is drowning in water" type situation would be nice. 11 minute burn time is plenty of time to get a nice fire started. Nice job, great little idea, love the blow torch effect when first lighting them, almost flare like.

    Thumbs up.
    The use of the rubber wrap is a nice touch. However in enclosed spaces it is an inhalation hazard. Even in open air it creates an odor that can potentially give away your location. Of course I am referring to being the gray man and trying to keep a low profile if that's not the case then your rubber tube wrap is not an issue.
    I would think this type firestarter would work nicely in a damp or icy area and ultimately save many normal strikes conventionally.
    Will be making a version of this for my winter bag. Thanks.

    @AirsDream Před 5 lety +1

    Terrific idea. One suggestion: if you go one step farther and also dip the match end in the wax, it will waterproof the match heads. Then when you go to strike the matches on your file, the wax will rub off, the match head will ignite, and the “extra” wax will add to the burn. Used to waterproof matches this way using either wax or clear nail polish back a zillion years ago in Boy Scouts. Only caveat: you’ve gotta’ cover the entire match in wax or water can seep into it and spoil it.

    I watched GBGB's matches he made. At the time I was thinking of adding 3 x 1/4" strips of inner tube secures with a strand of fine wire pulled out of a lamp cord. Just spiral wrap about 3/8" wraps. Plus cut and have several 1/4" strips of rubber to build and prolong your initial fire if things are a bit damp. I'll make and try a few versions, just not in the city. Thanks for your ideas. Creativity and experimenting often enhance anything we need. Would have liked to see the results inside, but will try a few myself and dig them apart. Great video. Cheers.

  • @brothermaleuspraetor9505

    I can instantly tell that these handy devices would be excellent for starting wet fires. The recorded burn time was 11 minutes, which would dry out some quite thick twigs and sticks of kindling, generating a lot of preparatory heat for overcoming the rest of any residual moisture within the rest of the fuel, (damp wood), which will more likely after a good number of minutes of burn time, evaporate quickly as steam due to the excessive heat generated by the long-burning device! Twinned with the right way of harvesting the dryer sections of wood to start burning (as demonstrated in another of Lonnie's videos). [brought to you by his superb camera operator - Wifey].
    Brilliant!

I wanted to make storm-proof matches, throw them in my gear, bugout bags, etc... and not have to EVER worry about them being ready to deploy...Much appreciation to Lonnie, Lars (Survival Russia) and The Gray Bearded Green Beret for ALL the valuable information you have shared over the years...Words are simply inadequate! I also carry 115 yards of dental floss ($1) with three sewing needles and a razor blade Gorilla taped (clear) to the back.
