Camp King Fire Striker

Camp King Fire striker. I have had several Ferro Rod strikers but this one, so far, is the best I've found. It is easy to strike and shoots a ball of sparks about 4-5in from the tip of the rod, and has a string to store it around your neck. You can pick one up for less than $5 or get a pack of three for around $10-$12 on Amazon. I will be posting MY recommendations of tools and equipment and my thoughts on different ones every so often. "Although they are nothing more than my opinion" as everyone will have/form they're own! Please take the time to like and share my page! Thank you!

Bow Drill Time!

Ok Bow drill time! In order to make a successful bow drill for friction fire, your gonna need, a "socket", cordage, bow, spindle, fire board and something to catch the embers. First find a stick about 1in thick. (It needs to have a slight bow to it) Measure the length using your arm. Start from the inside of your elbow, measuring to the tip of your long finger and cut. Cut 2 knotches, one on each end of stick, with knotches facing in. Take about two feet of parachord and tie a knot on one end. Secure knot in one knotch and extend and place in second knotch. Wrap excess chord around bow. Take a dried log about the size of your wrist and about 15in long, and split, keeping the middle about 3/4ins thick. Take small stick about 1in thick and about 9in long. Shave bark off and shave each end to a point. (Not too sharp though) Take about 3in off your fire board for your socket, and cut a small divot in the center. Cut small divot in fire board and cut a "V"shape close to divot like I have done. You now have the proper tools to make a bow drill friction fire! For instructions on how to use this, I will later be posting a video on how to make a friction fire. Stay tuned!!!!

Ember Lit Camping Stove

EmberLit Camping Stove. I love this thing. It's compact, and easy to disassemble and stored in it's bag. The stove cools down quickly. To start the way I did, you're going to need a cotton ball covered in petroleum jelly (fire starter), a small pile of shaved fat lighter, and a bunch of dried sticks (I have Hickory wood). Take your fire starter and expose the inside where it is dry (no petroleum jelly), and strike it with your fire striker. It may take a few strikes but you'll get it.The dry inside of the fire starter allows for an easy light and will start burning the part with the petroleum jelly. If you make your starter right, it should burn by itself for 7-10 minutes. Now that your starter is lit, add the small pile of fat lighter for more fuel. Add a few sticks until you have a good flame. Then start piling the sticks in the stove. When adding water to boil (I had around 2 cups of water), keep as much wood as you can fit in the EmberLit stove to keep the most amount of heat! It has plenty of ventilation holes to provide oxygen to your fire. Around two cups of water will take just under five minutes to boil. You can use this stove for cooking and purifying water. It is great for when you can't have an open fire, or just need a quick stop to cook or a warm drink. REMEMBER: If your water is really dirty, I highly suggest filtering the water first to remove dirt and other debris, before boiling it for sanitation. Thank you for taking the time to look at this!

My KA-BAR BK-10! The best and most reliable knife I have! I have beat, shaved, stabbed, cut, used for an axe and done just about anything you can think of to this knife and it has held a blade better than any I have or have found! I have made a personal survival kit with it for emergencies. It includes: fire striker, small life straw, multi tool, two carabineers and a small container with three, patrolium jelly fire starters. I take it on long trips in case I get stranded and have to sleep it out in the woods. I trust this knife with my life! You can find it on Amazon for about $130. Thank you for your time and please like and share!

My "Old Timer" full tang knife

My "Old Timer" full tang knife! Ok, almost EVERYONE has or had a Grandpa who had at least one of these! My Papa had a metal military ammo box full of the folding ones. He always told me that when I get old enough to get a knife, make it an Old Timer! They are extremely reliable, durable, and last a LONG time! The metal is so strong, you only have to sharpen it every few days! (If you use it everyday all day like I do) You can pick one up at Walmart for about $20! Don't forget to check us out on Facebook!
