Light My Fire Firesteel

Just click 3:30

[huntingfan45]

this comment is for shoopdawhooperful. Yes u can light other things than vaseline coated cotton balls. Birch bark burns great so does the fluffy stuffing in cattails found near water among many many other natural things. Key is finding dry tinder and the right kinds. The vid may not be the best but these firesteels among other brands can be real life savers if ever in trouble or lost.

[iTHacking]

You are preventing fire from going out of control? The surface under the foil is concrete...

[LuciferDaFallenAngel]

Here we go 1 strike ... 5 strikes later ... There we go ... LOL

[Canteengearshopcom]

Nice

[RavineOutdoors]

I love this steel. Full information on how to use it one my channel!

[shoopdawhooperful]

I have the EXACT SAME MODEL as yours, but i can't light anything except vaseline coated cotton balls with it! Any tips?

[TheCarbonSnake]

AWSOME video :D

[jergyellow]

you talk way too long, 

[ATF6281914]

@jergyellow

I can't help myself.

[jetairteam]

3:59 to see how it works ! :)

[XxMadd3nLivexX]

ATF6281914 thanks alot

[XxMadd3nLivexX]

i live in miami florida, do u guys know were i can buy one like at a store? cause i dont want to buy one online. please help me out!! i really want one!

[ATF6281914]

@XxMadd3nLivexX

I bet you can find them at the Bass Pro Shops there in Miami (11551 Northwest 12th Street).

[slamons11]

@ATF6281914 shut up and just show how to use the dam thing all ready

[jan1761]

@XxMadd3nLivexX get a bic lighter at your nearest convenient store

[Beachcrib]

Nice tip on not scraping the whole rod . They will break with heavy use if you do., Matches and lighters are easier to damage and will stop working WAY before a fire steel! I never enter the forest without a firesteel , blade , metal cup , poncho and some 550. So light and easy . These light my fire .. Gizmos are a sure bet!

[wolfwolf220]

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[jenniferandreas]

One strike :-)

[vanko81]

who cares about the cord ?!?$%#@

[mainetrapper]

you do realize that your not supposed to shave any of those off. those just create a spark, they don't actually burn in a fire (at least not the way you need), when you shave off some it you are using magnesium, you have a ferrocerium rod, what you have is just meant to throw a shower of sparks, not to burn. when you shave if off you are just wasting it, magnesium is a very soft, very burnable metal, it looks similar to lead. it usually comes in blocks about the size of your thumb.

[tavo3054]

esta bien culero tu pedernal

[patiot101]

The point of using a fire steal is so it even works when wet and if u had common sence you would take more thin one fire starter

[TheWeegeeMario]

For once a video that shows a firesteel or magnesium starter that isnt a 10 year old kid burning things that they shouldnt and not using it properly AND not using a good camera and you are none of that so great video

[tapout606]

The point in useing firesteel and all that other stuff is for the fun of it using a lighter just isn't fun

[WeG0Tcookies]

thanks man I just made my first fire :)

[OrgWizard]

You know that the coating is just a safety veneer coating? It's not what starts the fire. The silver metal underneath is the crucial part...

[nasadll]

what a waste..just buy 10 cent matches.. i can get instant fire... put in plastics bag water proof...for my survival in the jungle..heheheh. survival doesn't mean u need to use primitive stuff...

[butcherer100]

@nasadll Yeah you are right, I have matches with me too but when they get whet in anyway you're fucked.

So It's easy to attach the firesteel onto your sheath of your knife cause it always works.

[paracordjunky]

I have the same one except it's orange instead of yellow I also bought the army fire steel I camp aaaalot during the summer and I love the fire steel. It doesn't hurt to have a few of them handy.

[cameraguy1968]

Survivalists and their paracord fetish, funny!

[jmg1957]

smokin.

[mrabudi1]

crispy cotton balls?

[kragusk]

You suck! You gonna die eaten by wolfes moving like that!!!

[2KARGARAGE]

Use Vaseline on the cotton balls.

5/5 nice vid thnx for sharing.

[xXMeecrobXx]

nerd...

[xG33Kx]

Why do people feel the need to describe everything from unpackaging a single, simply packed item?

[teyacapan]

what the fuck dude? you said one strike........ cool vid, so you think i don't need to get the army model?

[ATF6281914]

@teyacapan

I can easily do it with one strike today. I was a noob when I made this vid.

You won't need the Army model unless you really think you're gonna be starting that many fires.

[teyacapan]

@ATF6281914 thanks...... nope don't plan on many fires, but just like you I feel that I have to have one... not sure on what model but every one seems to recomend the one you use.....thanks a gain.. merry x=mass.

[dcavalli9]

This is certainly a good tool to have. What about storing it? If you keep it in your pocket or the trunk of your car with the ends uncovered, is it possible that friction caused by movement could cause a spark and possibly start a fire?

[ATF6281914]

@dcavalli9

I highly doubt that could happen. It takes quite some force to get any kind of spark.

[fierwall5]

@dcavalli9 ya not gonna happen you have to strike it fast if you do it slow then you just scrape the metal of

[bubbawinchester]

1 strike alright ! hhaha

[DumpYourTelevision]

a great nusery vid... when's the mans version comming?

yeah, the one of you in a wood or forest with damp kindling.... just a thought :o)

[hoopz2598]

So how long will these fire steels last?

[ATF6281914]

@hoopz2598

Up to 3000 strikes.

[Marshallnd]

@ATF6281914 Up to 3000 strikes? So, give or take 600 fires if you have to strike it 5 times?

[benny8025]

@ATF6281914 i have one that will last 15000 strikes.

[HomeMadeGunNut]

@ATF6281914 Same for the army model?

[ATF6281914]

@HomeMadeGunNut

The Army has about 12,000 strikes, this one has 3,000.

[stolarz111]

this movie was very helpful for me thanks

[FireSteels]

Yes, paper could work, especially if it is finely shredded first.

[mw2sbestplayer]

thank you start from top to bottom

[sparky9278]

NO! go back and read the manual before you play with your new toy ATF

[mw2sbestplayer]

awsome vidio

[mw2sbestplayer]

i have a fire stell

[cluchracer]

what is the orange thing that you put on called

[soggytoast89]

lol

[soggytoast89]

i saw the foil and thought u were gonna smoke some oxy cotton 

[ATF6281914]

@soggytoast89

Sad news, I was all out at the time!

LOL.

[atlbrvs07]

I like this one!!, where did you learn this from??

[mrsvinarich26]

LMF sucks no offence it is better than nothing but the steel is small and the striker is crappy somthing like the blast match or misch metal is a lot better avalible from going gear.

[matteg02]

SWEDEN!!! ROCKS

[Petegrin1]

@matteg02 yes, sweden rocks. we got some awesome survival knifes called Fällkniven here in sweden two. Nutnfancy have done a review on the Fällkniven a1 and a2. =)

[bulby00]

i got a 4/8 in. with black handle shiping from ebay for $.50

[MrVoiceofreason123]

I use my firesteel the same way to conserve as much of that alloy as possible.

[HunterTactical]

anybody know a shop in the UK that sells them in yellow cheap ?

[nicknoface]

good vid

:D

[zDSpider]

I can understand starting at the end instead of the base, but why would you want to use the other side as well ? Won't it get sharper instead ?

[Reptiledotz]

Man pakker fandme ikke ting ud og så ing igen!

[mattjmd1986]

just placed a order for two of these...cant wait to use em!

[happysphinx]

What about lighting plain A4 paper sheet? :D

[ATF6281914]

I don't know what that is, therefore I do not know how that'd work.

ATF

[EnergyDog23]

Just a regular piece of paper, like that what they use in printers, A4 is the size of the paper..

[nicknoface]

its a regular sheet of paper

[Occulator2]

@ATF6281914 Well that's just a piece of paper ^^ (A4 = 210 × 297 mm)

@happyshinx A4 is a german standard, I dont think a lot of americans know of it

[NLmonsterNL]

@ATF6281914 u dont know what paper is?

[stinkstef]

@NLmonsterNL

tis een mongol

[NLmonsterNL]

@stinkstef hahaa :P

[1992bwalker]

@ATF6281914 a piece of paper A4 is a measurement

[HelmerandRawlins]

Shred the paper first into a tinder bundle style bunch and it will catch sparks

[MrVoiceofreason123]

@happysphinx It won't work with out proper preparation D:

[Kris35Productions]

i got the army one 12 frigin thousand :- D

[dudrhkd7]

[ATF6281914]

Thanks.

I will have to try that for the coolness factor.

LOL.

ATF

[WilmaSlicer]

yay! that was fun!

[ATF6281914]

Yes it was.

Honestly, I've (in the last couple days) made about five totally random fires with the FS for no reason.

FIRE IS FUN!

ATF

[sohanlon10]

Fire IS Fun!

(as long as you don't burn yourself)

ATF

[PittRules55]

ATF

[PittRules55]
