what kinda starter is that

[2brothersadventures]

Blastmatch by ultimate survival technologies.

@2brothersadventures how long do they stay in working condition?

[2brothersadventures]

@fossilpro We have used our BlastMatches for several years now with no apparent issues. Our kids all use the same ones too. the great thing about them is that even if they break you can still strike the sparks if you have a knife or other metal object to scrape it with. The wet fire is proving to kind of temperamental for us. The first stuff we used a few years ago was great. Some of the most recent batches seam to be different to us, and not as great.

love the cotton ball thing use it all the time to make fires in my pit but i just have to ask what knife do you have, i already have my own survival knife that i'm happy with but which one do you have? Please give website or store name just for me to look i like the holster it comes with

[2brothersadventures]

The knife I use in this video is a Frost Mora Clipper. You can find them all over the internet for under 20 dollars. I got this one off of EBAY for $16 including shipping. They are great knives and if you break it or lose it, you don't have to cry because you are out a ton of money.

I think WetFire has a 3-year "shelf life".

the best way to soak the vasoline into the cotton is to warm it until it melt into a liquid. then dip the cotton into the liquid petroleum jelly. presto! no more trying to mush the petroleum into the cotton

[newtubetubetube]

Try to heat the petroleum jelly so that it go deeper inside the cotton ball... and without compacting the ball too much.

Good video. Covered all the bases pretty well. I think I like the cotton balls best. Much cheaper and works almost as well as the WetFire.

I prefer the cotton ball technique. Thanks for sharing you skills.

[GotYarbles]

I have found that wetfire deteriorates over time and stops working.
