    I've been doing the same thing for years, except that I just collect old tea bags - Leave them out in the sun to dry, then dunk 'en in hot wax - They weigh nothing, waterproof, and burn plenty long enough to get any fire going. The water-bath idea is good, because they won't hold enough wax if the wax is too hot.

      Best watch the Tea bags =CANCER . My buddy was a fitness freak ,trainer and would only drink hot and cold tea . He was the example of healthy . Got sick ,7 days later he died. Cause ""Tea"" Tons of articles from Europe on this . Never mentioned in America . Dale was big on Earl Gray. ? He was a very picky eater. Healthy was his middle name. He was a nice guy too.

    this would also be a great thing to bring to really cold snowy areas in case of an emergency, because even if youre too cold to gather wood there's an immediate large long lasting flame to get your hands warm to then start gathering wood.

    Made a crap load of these 8-10 years ago. Made mine with a smear of petroleum jelly in the center then dipped in old candle wax and crayon stubs. Still working on that batch as I find them stashed everywhere! Ill try your version with paraffin lamp oil next time. I imagine works the same as the petroleum jelly to easily ignite with ferro rod. Great video thanks!

    Good video of an interesting variant to the waxed cotton rounds. You are the first I have seen that added the paraffin based lamp oil, good idea to keep the wax from being to heavy plus adding to the water proofing/igniting aspect. One thing I have noticed with mine is that the wax temperature has considerable effect on the caking of the wax which can definitely be to much if it is barely melted vs being on the higher end of preferred temps. Thank you for a new idea to experiment with.

    • @themichiganwoodsman1372
      @themichiganwoodsman1372  Před 4 lety +5

      Bucmeister thanks for your view and comment. I’ve watched a lot of videos on this type of fire starter and experimented quite a bit with them. I’ve used hundreds of them between camping and lighting charcoal for the grill. It’s one of those things that’s very forgiving on the ingredient ratio. I probably wouldn’t use more than 1/10th ratio of paraffin lamp oil to 9/10 paraffin wax. They really work great and totally waterproof. Burn time is awesome as well.

Perforated tuna can as an emergency stove and ur done. Oh, and if you get soaked...it would be good to have to start a fire, possibly save your life. I love the mobility of it and being lightweight is an obvious advantage/attraction for some of these untra lighters.!

      @themichiganwoodsman1372  Před 2 lety +4

      I live in Northern Michigan. It gets fairly cold here and they seem to excel. I’ve made these things with around 6 different brands of cotton rounds and each brand is slightly different from the other. Some are puffy and very conducive to fuzzing when you break it open and I’ve had some brands that seemed to be a much tighter or denser makeup and they didn’t seem to “fuzz” up very well. That may be a factor. Thanks for the feed back sir.

    I used to teach my Boy scouts to use corrugated cardboard cut into squares stack four on top of each other then dip them into the Gulf wax but I never put in the lamp oil. Now the cardboard holds more wax so it last about 10 to 15 min. I guess with the cotton being then the lamp oil helps thanks for sharing.

I typically use a fat straw longer on one end then heated to seal then stuff with antibiotic ointment soaked cotton. It burns like Vaseline but can also help with minor cuts & scrapes so dual purpose. That said, yours look great and in the cold north I would want yours for sure...or a nasty road flare!

      Actually, sorry to sound pedantic but in UK it is more commonly called Parrafin, which was mostly used for the old storm lanterns when I was a kid. Kerosene and parrafin are used interchangeably but this would be a mistake given that Keroseine is a slightly more refined form of parrafin.

    I've got a hint for you in case you don't have an old pot. You can actually buy those devices that warm scented candles so that you can smell them without lighting them and you can use those to melt the wax in a candle jar after you've burned the whole candle. I got my candle warmer thing for like $5 at Walmart and I've used this to melt wax from candles that didn't burn completely so that I can make new candles out of them so it would definitely work for this too.

      There's no flame involved in using the candle warmer either, which will probably make it a bit safer once you get to the part where you add lamp oil.

    Those pads work just great. An easy way to use is rubbing some hand sanitizer or Vaseline petroleum jelly into them just before using, keeping the ingredients separate the rest of the time.
    Very simple.

    Is there any significant advantage of adding pure paraffin to the wax when making those firestarter cotton pads?
    I am asking as in UK it is hard to get paraffin oil for lamps.

      You can light them instantaneously with paraffin oil mixed in but... you can substitute the paraffin oil with charcoal lighter fluid mixed with the wax. Biggest difference between the two is about 5-6 minute burn time using charcoal fluid/wax vs 10 minutes with paraffin oil and wax mixture.

      @@themichiganwoodsman1372 It does not matter...I got it from YOU. I have learned so much from YT...I thought I was "camping" for decades...Turned out I was a Bushcrafter that used 87 octane to start my campfire. At the time I lived in Arizona where no one whittles on Mesquite wood and there was nothing to tie your paracord to so all this tarp setup thing is new to me. I closed the doors of my F250 on one end of the tarp and then tied the other end to my tailgate. Hello shelter. The Lord looks after the young and ignorant...still ignorant but no longer young.
