Some great hints, but I would suggest storing them in a metal container after putting them in the plastic bag. Those strike anywhere matches can be set off from rubbing together. Having them in a tin will help keep any fire from spreading in your pack.

@@dobrofool There are some high pressure butane lighters that can do just that but faster. And it always takes lesser space too.

@@tigerlily2941 correct, but he could still have figured them out himself and not learned them from others, I believe that was the question being asked here.
My favorite variation of this trick is the one that instead of using the wax and string uses plastic, instead of match sticks uses butane, and instead of strike anywhere heads uses rolling steel over a flint to create a spark to light the butane. They are cheap, store easily, and are found in most stores. They have a low learning curve and, like all bushcraft tools, when used properly, work hella good.
In the wind and rain they don’t do so well and sometimes they run out of fluid. Happened to me a few times the lighter stopped lighting up in the middle of the woods. Its always nice to bring a backup just in case

@@Tribuneoftheplebs Egypt, we don't have forests and woods, we have deserts and there you can find oases which are FULL of greenery, farms and fields, yes you can get stranded in the palm fields but only locals live there and they do know each inch there so chance of an Egyptian or a foreign tourist to be stranded is very low because you're always accompanied with a local man or a tour guide, i.e you can never get lost! In addition, we live in the cities and there ain't any desert here so I have zero chance of being lost 😂 anyhow, I'm watching his videos JUST IN CASE 🤣🤣!
@@tt7762 you could get lost. You will probably be found but you may run out of water. It's good to know how to make fire to boil water in the desert. You will also need to find the water first 😅
These particular matches (I have a box of them) are not at all waterproofed, as most "strike anywhere" matches are also not waterproofed. Most waterproofed matches, even storm matches (where the match head compound extends halfway down the stick, are also not strike anywhere. But any match can be waterproofed by dipping it in wax. This DIY firefighter looks very simple, robust, and useful. Great channel.
I make these but instead of jute twine I unroll cotton balls and roll the matches in the cotton and then dip it in the wax I also roll two matches in the cotton to store in altoid tins for my kids

Could not agree more
Lol. 👎
Whoever prepares that well to get stranded out in the wilderness, never gets stranded out in the wilderness.
That is true. Because we enjoy all life. Nothing is wilderness
Accidents can occur even to experts, even things like a rockslide or avalanche can put the best laid plans in the trash
Meh having a few made up for a bug out bag could be beneficial one day
It's a good idea for wild camping though whether you get injured or just want to light a fire on a drizzly or windy day.
Do you sell those@@knotsgaming3653
The sound of that first strike on the rock is so delightful

@@vertyisprobablydeadwas going to say this 😂 i want to see what op has to say
Is the wax not covering the tips of the matches as well? I figured that would help prevent that.
@@OkamiToge it should, otherwise they're no longer waterproof wich is one of the two reasons to wax them. The second one is flame longevity

That's because they have lighters now
It's called a bbq lighter
It's a candle you don't need a lighter for.
You mean to start a fire 😂😂
With a 6 ish minute burn time, it's far from a candle
Good one mate 😂
@@24Magics thats enough time to dig a poop hole, poop, rub one out, and still have flame left to complete the fire making process.

Great design. Think I’ll copy it but add a row of lighting tips going into the bundle to be sure the initial strike starts burning inside the fascia.
I think these are the best fire starters I've seen. All in one and waterproof. Very niiiice!
Thanks for your tips on making waterproofed matches! I will try your method!

One of the best bushcraft hacks that I have seen recently.
Aren't the strike anywhere matches waterproof without the wax?
Im pretty sure your right on that an i do believe the wax just lets it burn longer
Not all of them. Some are waterproof, some are supposed to be “wind proof”, and many are just normal, strike anywhere matches.
The wax is for the twine to burn slow
These particular matches (I have a box of them) are not at all waterproofed, as most "strike anywhere" matches are also not waterproofed.
Most waterproofed matches, even storm matches (where the match head compound extends halfway down the stick, are also not strike anywhere. But any match can be waterproofed by dipping it in wax.
This DIY firefighter looks very simple, robust, and useful. Great channel.
waterproof? no. splashproof? yes. if you expose them to wet conditions too much the compound on the head will sog up and come off.
First thing I do after getting lost in the woods is visit the hardware store real quick...
Never knew about strike anywhere matches .. you learn something new everyday ❤
this needs to be in the next survival game out there
I make these but instead of jute twine I unroll cotton balls and roll the matches in the cotton and then dip it in the wax I also roll two matches in the cotton to store in altoid tins for my kids
