*What is your favorite Cordage for the outdoors and why?*
Blaze cord. It really does fluff well. However I had no luck on my water tests. Perhaps I had too small of a strand. It was like 4 inches at most. However it does fluff so well I was able to spark about an 1/8 inch fluffed piece with a tiny ferro rod that is about 2 or 3 inches long.
I like using UST paratinder and Titan survival cord. I got a 100' hank of UST paratinder at Duluth Trading for $10.00! Have had it 2 years and still have about 50' left.
PSKOOK survival cord. It’s cheap and works well!
Jack Stone Survival Cord is not cheap in my opinion for cordage
Well like you said Chris one that works when you need and two makes it worth the money. So 550 blaze cord wins my vote.
Have you seen the new Titan survival XLparacord? It now has kevlar core instead of the copper wire. It has a braided fishing line also instead of monofilament fishing line. It is also 1,000 lb tencel strength! Just came out and I just ordered some for $26.00 on sale for 100' hank.
dalew515 Very cool. Kevlar is more realistic I guess...... anything i could use kevlar with i could most things with bank line or the 550 inner strands
Love it, already ordered 100'. Thanks
Jeffrey Meek Right on
This is kind of cool. I always have paracord on me. My watch a bracelet and a belt. I should make it out of this stuff and add to my EDC. Thanks for sharing this cool video man.
A Family Outdoors Blaze Cord is very legit
Awesome I know what’s on next list to buy for cordage
I like it man good testing. Glad you made another testing video.
Christopher Williamson We never quit field testing gear Ever! We field gear in every episode
4directions bushcraft stuff is super legit.
My favorite cordages are: Mil-Spec 550 paracord from the Paracord Store; Catahoula #36 Twisted Bankline; Catahoula #12 Braided Bankline; and 50 lb Mono-filament. Always have some of each, in various configurations, in each kit.
I gave you a thumbs up Chris, because you did a great job putting those head to head; but I'm still old school. My cordage is my cordage. My Tinder and extenders are something different. If I can carry (or even only wear paracord), I can also keep a couple wet fire or something other in a pocket or somewhere. I guess in a pinch... maybe, if it was the only think I had on me. But then you'd also have to have something on you to ignite the stuff. Again... I'm old school... I try to be better prepared.
BIG AL from Mi. Love the diversity of cordages. Thanks bud! Means alot
Love watching your videos. I also like the fact that you go into great detail explaining what u feel is best for you
Joshua Perez Thanks alot Joshua!
Great video. I agree with about the vaseline. Recently I've used dryer lint and melted wax and I found that to be very effective and essentially free as I have many old candles.
Well thank you again I was going to buy the titan core but I have the copper wire and steel wire too so I guess I will buy more 550 blaze instead thanks again you guys have fun and be safe.
Glad you found this video helpful
I would much rather have my wire separate. fishing line too. Try to pull out 50 ft of mono or wire without ruining your cordage.
My thoughts as well. I’d love to see someone separate the entire fishing line from the “Mother Cord”. I can’t see it being an easy task, especially in a survival or even a bush-crafting scenario.
Great review Chris!
Thanks yall!
Very informative!
Marjie Cleveland Thanks alot
I would carry tampons but cordage works amazingly too.
It would be helpful if you'd either label each one or name each one when you're talking about it. I had to scan back through your whole video to find out the name of 'this paracord.'
Awesome test
Fire = best thing ever
Riley Patterson seems legit
Thank you for the info and the video.
Kent Costello Thanks for the support Kent!
Your welcome. I love the outdoors hunting fishing trapping & camping keep it up.
Man, Oh'oooo Man,great vid.. you changed my thoughts on tinder, without having to find it in the woods.. thanks..
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
Wow! Boiling water with that stuff was an awesome test! For the money I think that will be your best bet.. I might have to invest!
Outside with Kim Yeah! That is what put me over the top!
I love this type of cordage. Personally I have the one you missed.
Pskook. Its prety cheap as well and has tinder, fishing line and cotton thread.
Great video as always!
Definitely didn’t miss it. Not a top contender in my opinion. But that is only the opinion of one person
Yes performs better than the more expensive ones I have tested. Easy to light tinder!
Worst are those that ad in stuff like kevlar or wire which has less strech than the rest of the cordage so under stress all is first just on this one threat. Can lead to a short internal break before full strech is reached and thus makes it unusable for knots.
Also wire in it makes it harder to work with.
For me please only tinder + fishing line added...rest is useless
"In a fun little cat ball!"
😂
Good job
great job enjoy watching you just odered 50ft of 550 BLAZE cord
Ken Hoffman Thanks Ken
4DB's cord is appealing. I use UST's to make lanyards and whatnot. My question is if 4DB is going to offer another (brighter) color? The nice thing about UST's cord is that when I need an emergency tinder I know what I'm grabbing. I know it's not just another hank of cordage. It would be cool if they offered it in a bright contrasting color scheme.
Hi. I like the look at but can I be able to get here in the UK or is it just for you all in the USA and Canada.
PF
Plymouth Fenns 4 Directions does ship internationally I believe
Cool video
BlazeCord for the win!!!
Love that little stove you showed, need to add that to my kit.
Red Bare'N I love that stove!
@@DropForgedSurvival gonna try making one. Unless you know who sells em😎
Red Bare'N Find my Video! I make easy to make
I really like titán survivor cord, but I want to try the blaze cord but I can’t seem to find it anywhere online. Where can I buy it? Do they have 500’ spools?
You can throw hard wax on cotton as well. higher melting point.
Hey Chris, I just wrote a message to this company on what a GREAT JOB you did on this video and promoting their cordage. I didn’t know how to contact them so I just wrote the message to them on there last CZcams video they have up👍
they have a contact email on their webpage. I emailed them too after placing an order.
aerosaaber I must have missed it because I was looking for an email address. But I’ll look again, thank you
great stuff but can't get it in the UK :(
So… which one is the brand that performed best?
Sorry to bother you I was looking at buying a portable water filter and I remembered u had one that was battery operated I just can’t find which video it was on could u tell me again what the name is? Hope u and ur family enjoy your 4th of July
Soak them then freeze them in icetrays, break apart then test to see if they will light. Only a slight suggestion. ^.^
Nice
Neat
Heck yeah...... I’m all for budget gear
Ginger Bowman Sometimes budget gear can hold of extreme high levels of value
Man I gotta get all my gear back together
Howdy bud!
Is the blaze cord finally out for sale....if it is this Friday gonna try not to go crazy still got bills to pay lol......
jerry garcia definitely is out for sale. 50ft - 1000ft
Plain old jute... My go too
Q u like your vids always entertaining. Question will it light after you fluff it up and then dip it in water?
steven fournier would you fluff up jelled cotton then purposely dunk it? 😆
No but I have had to use live fire sport in severe storm on a cold Febuary day in New England. I knew it would light because I had tried it and and other products soaking wet. Before I decided what to take. Just asking like to know limitation of products like you do. But Texas condition ain't new England conditions. So I'll get some and try it myself.
I wasn't in Texas when I field tested this... I was about 1,000 miles away and it ranned alot up there... I feel you may have missed the wet conditions we filmed and tested it in.
Wasn't questioning your testing, Just like to know that if I strip the fire cord out of the paracord and fluff it it rain and driving snow ( which will make it wet when it's fluffy ,if it will still light.). Thanks for the vid but like I said earlier I'll test it myself to get the answer. Just thought you might have tried it yourself. Search and Rescue in winter need things tat work 100%.
How much weight do they carry? Just asking, I mean its cordage in the first place!
Its 550 cordage...
@@DropForgedSurvival Just googled it, its not that commom here in Germany and I didnt know that its a standard. So its 249 kg for all ?
Hay he said first but he second
Chris did I win? I know your not having a contest today, but I thought maybe I could confuse you and you might just say yes....lol. OF COURSE I’m here because I love your channel so I’m doing to sit back and watch.......oh, let me know if I win anything today😂😂
mark Bohamed Yes You won my attention for exactly 19 seconds! My wife owns the rest!
DropForgedSurvival LOL, great answer and it should be like that👍
Can you light it with cord on it
Of course... It becomes more like a "wick" in that point.
Dude, great video, except maybe you should label stuff so people know what you're talking about. Your best and favorate cheap cord is called? and where do I get it? Looked in your video and in your comments, all I could find was where the bag of this cord had a DB label on it. Great video but fail on the pointing people to this cord.
Can you send the link for that little capsule
Its on amazon
DropForgedSurvival but what do I search?
titanium keychain capsule.......
Thanks heaps
You know what I already made a “Blaze” bottle sleeve for my nalgene
Nice Man!
Fireplugs are great and the best part is that you can easily make them yourself. Its dental cotton plugs soaked in wax (if you use wax with a lower melting temp then they fluff a bit better like komposite wax or adding in coconut oil into regular wax)...also works with cotton rounds
Fireputty is really bad and very overpriced for how bad it is.
could it be that the blazecord and psykook is the same cheap cord sold under different names? seems to perform the same
What kind of wax do YOU use? Curious to make some of these myself and save $$. Bought fire plugs from wazoo before and they're not cheap if you use them often
@@ewakingwood komposite wax is what you find in those graveyard candles that have a plastic casing. They need this because the wax has a lower melting temp and is softer and would all melt and flow away before burning at the wick without it. This wax is mainly hardened plant oil.
So this is your soft wax.
The harder wax you can use regular paraffin candle wax or the even harder stearin canlde wax.
Mix until you reach the hardness you desire. This also depends on outside temperatures and during winter it is better to have more of the soft wax in the mix
the dental plugs you can buy very cheaply online (also aliexpress). or just use cotton rounds
why cant you just burn normal paracord strands?
XboxPlayer123 Classified You can ish...
Sure strips
ashtin foster knife reviews and more Spartan Tinder is very Very Versatile but also not a survival cordage and not the most “powerful” either. This is comparison of survival cordages
@@DropForgedSurvival yes I understand that I just like that fire starter the most I have not yet tried any survival cordage
Hey Chris @DropForgeSurvival , I'm visiting my daughter just south of Houston and would love to meet up with you and get some hands on experience (apprenticseship ?). I'm leaving here by the latest Monday the 8th for two months of overlanding, but have no definitive plans (could spend that time helping you out and learning) then coming back to help the kid move. After that I'll probably head back to NJ but not sure as of yet. Not sure if you are in this area but again would really appreciate meeting up and maybe apprenticing with you for whatever you may need.
J
This company needs to send you some free stuff because you just made them thousands and thousands of dollars.
Forget Vaseline, oil soaked, wax dipped cotton ball gives you 17+ minutes of burn time.
I got 100 feed survival cord with fishingline waxed jute and wire for €6 😂
Am I being crazy or is this a re-upload? Love the vid but I feel like I’ve watched this review and am getting the same experience all over again.
NYCNoobs nope... Definitely not a reupload. Your confusing products
@@DropForgedSurvival maybe the clip w/ the fire putty and fire plugs was giving NYC deja vu
Try dryer lint.
Lmao 😂 Dryer lint is not a survival cordage!
Duct tape is the best fire starter. Why? Because it can do an infinite amount of other things too.
Matthew Butler But its not a Survival Cordage. Also I use T-REX Tape and I have a hell of a time lighting it with a firesteel! Also... As “PURE” Firestarter! I have my (2) favorites which i showcase in this episode also
DropForgedSurvival you can make cordage with duct tape, I’m not sure what poundage it would hold, but I’ve seen people swing on it while suspending themselves on CZcams.
AS OF 12/19/2020 AMAZON PRIME 13.99 + 4.95 SHIPPING. IAM A AP MEMBER AND NO FREE SHIPPING........
Can I get a shoutout plz
Dude u completely missed the point of having all that in the titan cord
To me it's just foolish to cannibalize your cord. For one, you should carry some actual fire starter, basically weights nothing and takes no space, and most importantly easy to use. Same goes for fishing line or metal wire that's included in some survival cords.
And if you see your firestarter is running out, you should have plenty of time to actually get some more before it runs out. And if you have matches or lighter, which should be your primary fire starting method, you most likely don't even need fire starter.
If I was to make survival kit I would probably use something like bank line, it's strong enough unless you plan to start climbing. It's just more space and weight efficient.
Awesome I know what’s on next list to buy for cordage
