  • Nice. Thanks for this demo. Where do you find the fatwood in Wal Mart?

  • @nextexhale In ours it is on a side wall by the large trash cans. There is also fire logs and chimney cleaners etc near the fat wood.

  • would wood that has been soaked in candle wax work as well as fat wood.

  • I have not tried that, but I don't think so. Fat wood is saturated with natural resin from a pine tree (AKA Pitch) which is very flammable. You need a wick to burn wax and I am not sure the wood would be a suitable wick. But give it a try, you might be on to something. If it works let us know so we can give it a whirl.

  • what type of holster is that on your leg?, it looks like you carry your knife on it. where could I find one like that?

  • It is a UTG (Under the Gun) leg holster. It cost me about $15.00 off of E-Bay. I like it a lot. It is very good construction. I have used and abused it a lot and not a single wear issue.

  • nicely done. i get tired of seeing videos on how to "start a fire" with a "firesteel" and the only thing they do is light a damn cottonball. nice to see someone actually make a fire.

  • i might have to see about getting a walking stick made of that stuff. have it a foot or two longer than normal, get some shavings off if i needed them. *thumbs up*

  • Good Video, I would like to tell you what I use to start my Fatwood fires, Fatwood is the only thing I use. You may think I am some kind of a nut but what I use is a Welders Flint Striker, what welders use to get the torch going, it works great and the best part about using it is you only need one hand and they are very cheap, under $4.00 plus a little extra for replacement flints, just an idea I though I would pass on, Thanks

  • Excellent video, friend!

    ★★★★★

  • @chrissept21 walmart here in Winnipeg has it as well as canadien tire for around $15.00 you get fat wood and striker

  • A flint stone

  • you make a very good point. so easy to mess up your tinder pile. Thanks

  • Excellent 5 Stars! I like the fact that you used gloves while you whittle the wood. This is a good example of how to properly protective yourself when handling sharp knives
