A most excellent case hack, thank you. Wrap lots of narrow Gorilla tape around the case, for repairs and fire starting. Maybe fit in a small ferro rod and striker/knife.

The TMK is a great case. I agree that the matches it comes with aren't great but I love the case. I like to cut a round of match striking paper (it has an adhesive back and can be purchases at Amazon) and stick it under the rubber cap to give me two rounds. Then I cut out a square from a smooth plastic bottle and stick striking paper on the outer side, then roll it and stick it into the case. This takes up virtually no internal space but gives me another 3" x 6" striker surface. It's nice to have some good tinder and a lighter in there, for sure.
Good video!

Great trick opening the little ziplock bags! If I can make two suggestions as a firebug and as a survival instructor? I would add a plain ferro rod, no handle, and a glass magnifying lens like can be found in an old rifle scope. This would extend your choices. My son just commented he would tightly wrap the body with fire cord.

That's an awesome kit you put together there. I love the idea of velcro dots. I'm going to use that. You're channel is great and you deserve and will get many MANY more subs. Keep up the great work.

Good news,, as spec’d out in the video it does float. It will float sideways, half in, half out.
