Lampwick Fire: Survival and Bushcraft Fire Starting - YouTube
July 20, 2023 at 3:58:31 PM PDT * - permalink -- 00:25 The speaker introduces a piece of equipment, cotton lamp wick, which can be used as an alternative to char cloth for fire starting in flint and steel kits.
- 01:08 The lamp wick is advantageous over char cloth as it is easier to rechar (ignite and extinguish) at home or around the campfire, and it is more durable in storage, preventing it from getting destroyed like char cloth.
- 02:05 The lamp wick can be used in the same way as char cloth. It is placed along the sharp edge of the cutting tool (stone) and struck to create sparks, which ignite the lamp wick.
- 02:47 Once the lamp wick is burning, it can be placed inside a bird's nest (e.g., jute twine) to start a fire effectively.
- 03:09 After using the lamp wick to start a fire, it can be smothered and saved for future use, making it a convenient and reusable fire-starting resource.
- 03:50 The speaker recommends carrying cotton lamp wick along with char cloth as it serves as a valuable addition to the fire-starting kit and works well to help start fires.
- 04:03 The video concludes with a call to action to get cotton lamp wick and subscribe to the channel, followed by promoting their website and classes related to bushcraft.
