  • You said that you could use that to start 8 to 10 fires. How, if you;ve used all of it to start that one fire?

  • KMike,,,

    You don't use the entire tinder.. you light your fire and put the can out as I show in the video...

    That can would easily light 8-10 fires.. maybe more.. And you can just add more tinder as some burns off... HTH

  • if the can has a hole in it then if it goes into water it's going to get your tinder all wet... you said it was waterproof?

  • Great question Kunai :)

    Yes.. if you took a dive your tinder might get wet. There are a few ways to combat this... One of the best is to wrap an inner tube strip (Ranger Band) around the can. This will keep outt most moisture.

    When I say dry tinder I mean as opposed to the surrounding environment.. In the can will be dry under normal circumstances even if it's been raining for days!

    Hope that Helps..

  • Thanks for posting this video. a really ingenious addition I'll be making to my survival kit.

  • in my can with flint steel and char cloth i put in a tender tube use kerosine wicks cut in sq. for char cloth and the whole wick in tender tube push up as needed also pull back in to put out for next time

  • I've gone to the beginning and boy am I glad I did that.

    Still on the look for good reviews on the Tracker, but today I learned something very cool.

    I definitely have to try this!

    Thanks for the lesson!
