Ah, just like the good old days of when Youtube was young - videos short, sweet and to the point. No click bait.
Bravo!

14 to 15 minute burn time is enough to get pretty much anything started. Good work.

This is a great idea! When you are cold and wet with freezing hands, trying to use a lighter and even a ferro rod can be impossible. This is a great solution. Bravo!

THIS is how videos are supposed to be made! No 15 minutes of life story, no awful AI narration that's entirely filler words and no substance, just straight to the point info. Well done!

I just gotta say, this is possibly the best comment section I've seen in all of YT.
Great video!

Your video is without useless filler. Thanks for making it. It earned my subscription.

People have been rigging up pull strike matches for years, but this is the first design I've that might serve a useful purpose in the woods.

What a smart way to make a fire starter! I’m going to use your idea and make at least two hundred of them (for starters) and give out to some homeless camps that we serve food to on Thursday evenings (Urban Bicycle Food Ministry: UBFM, Des Moines). We serve over 650 homeless people every week, a lot of them live in tents out in the woods. Like someone mentioned in the comments, when your hands are cold, it’s hard to even to operate a lighter. Thank you for sharing skills with all of us!

Great idea, man! I tried making my own and slightly changed the setup - instead of electrical tape I used masking tape, it's based on paper and burns good too. Also, I used one stormproof match together with 5 regular matches - the ignition phase became more intensive. Thanks for the idea!

Just wanted to take a moment to appreciate all the amazing support, comments, and ideas! You guys are awesome! I’ve seen the concerns about latex degrading with petroleum-based products over the months, and I totally get it. I’ve been working on a pretty neat solution to make these last for years, and I’ll be sharing that soon. Stay tuned!

We use the paper egg cartons. Fill them with dryer lint and pour wax on top. Then cut or tear them apart. They light up fast and burn for 10 to 15 minutes each.

This video came up in my feed and I subscribed immediately after watching. I love the videos. Straight to the how-to! No BS. No history lessons. No babbling for 5 minutes before getting to the point. Easy to follow. Keep them coming!

As a former big game hunting and wilderness guide, I have finally found a video that I can actually use. I have spent many days in the western mountains of Montana under all kinds of weather conditions. For the first time I can say this person‘s idea is just short of genius. some weekend afternoon in the near future when I’m in my basement was very little to do. I will make up a whole bunch of these things. I’m taking a guest is saying they will last a very long time and dry storage.

This is the first firestarter video I've seen where I thought, "Wow, that's actually useful and builds on existing ideas"

I can't wait to see improvements to this. I have some ideas for a version for myself. These would be nice even just camping in a normal campsite with full supplies. Or heck, also lighting the fireplace in your house.

Your video randomly passing through my algorithm and this is super useful. Thanks!

[makcatchem]

Okay that's probably one of the most badass survival diy things that I've seen

[sskyle]

One small adjustment that I'd do is to put a waxed wick between the matches, although that's only nit-picking. Great video, and I can't wait to try!

[carlosspeicywiener]

Reminds me of something we made in scouts using paraffin, gause and storm matches. The notion was that if the components are each waterproof, there's no need for waterproofing the end product.
Of course we learned all the primitive fire building techniques and all that, but innovation and ease of use was also a good focus.

[glennbrymer]

Now this is a super idea. Hats off to you for this one sir! The 1st thing I thought after see this, was to wish I'd had this idea 50 years ago when I was back packing.

[dirtsmiles]

Nice idea. I’ve been using a mix of paraffin wax and lighter fluid. Dip those disks and let cool. Burns easy and a long time. It also doesn’t make a mess.
