Hair Root Fire Starter - Works Great

The world is full of things for starting fires,this is great one that is often overlooked, but is available most anywhere there is a stream or some earth that has slid or eroded. Started it off with the Doan from my FSK... http://wildernessinnovation.com

What kind of thermos bottle is pictured in the fire at the end of the video??

[wildernessinnovation]

@Dpwalts That SS bottle is a Stanley, single wall bottle. I don't know the model, I picked it up in a clearance sale. I love the thing. Guyot also has a similar bottle. There are a bunch of brands, make sure it is not double wall thermos...

Excellent video & Great observation. I've learned same techniques from an Japanese hunter before.

On second thought, I don't know, Perry. Your last pic on the last 5 seconds video reminded me of the Burt Reynolds centerfold he did for Playgirl back in the 70s. I can remember my wife shoving the picture in my face back then. I hope you are gonna keep it clean and not try to cash in on the seeedier side of things. I don't like seeing you pose like that!!! hahaha ;-}

@cdltpx I took well rounded stones and tied my rope to them this gripped the tarp very well not one of the 5 attachment spots tore. I used a ridgeline to support the center of the tarp my mistake was making my ridge line too high. I used an old satellite dish to contain my fire and during the hardest rain I was warm by the fire even though I was in shorts. The best way to know if you can deal with hard to deal with situations is to practice the what if's when you have time to refine.

I was expecting a thunder storm I decided to take some 4mil plastic and see how well I could shelter already had a hammock went outside with some para cord and went to work. I could not sleep under what I had built but I could stay dry the wind blew rain between 45 and 90 degrees If it weren't for some painters plastic I would have been drenched in that 3 hour storm. While I did remain dry It really made me appreciate what people sleeping rough have to deal with. Ron Paul 2012.
