hey wassup Turtles it's Creek here with

00:00:20

blackout outdoors today I'm going to be

00:00:22

doing a video on how to make cotton

00:00:23

balls dipped in wax which is used as a

00:00:25

fire starter I have three examples with

00:00:28

me here

00:00:29

one large full-sized cotton ball right

00:00:31

here and this and these two over here is

00:00:33

a cotton ball ripped in half just to

00:00:35

practice just to see if they work

00:00:37

coating all that stuff but today's video

00:00:40

I'm going to show you how to make these

00:00:42

before I get into making any of them I'm

00:00:45

going to actually use one to start the

00:00:48

fire and we'll be using to melt the wax

00:00:49

down I'm going to use one and um and

00:00:54

we're going to time it actually how long

00:00:57

one of these are one of these is going

00:00:58

to burn it's a lighter cord for foil but

00:01:02

basically to do this to use one of these

00:01:05

I'm just take a knife I'm going to cut

00:01:06

into it so you can kind of crack it open

00:01:10

get down past the protective layer of

00:01:13

wax that's sealed in the cotton

00:01:21

I'm gonna take it now just open it up

00:01:26

and open it up and it's cotton coming

00:01:31

through that

00:01:35

you see what I'm trying to do error ago

00:01:37

is expose some of the engines of the

00:01:39

cotton you can see what that's done is

00:01:42

by dipping this cotton in the wax this

00:01:44

is still dry cotton you can see I'm

00:01:46

pulling this fiber it's still fibrous

00:01:47

I'm pulling that out and what that's

00:01:50

done is put a protective layer of wax

00:01:51

over this so it'll be waterproof anyway

00:01:53

let's it let's get this let's get this

00:01:54

lit and we'll start timing it but what's

00:01:58

great about this as well as a kit and

00:02:00

how long this is going to burn for you

00:02:01

is you can get it with a spark this is

00:02:03

going to get a flame hold the flame for

00:02:05

you and it can be done with just with

00:02:08

the spark all right time in it

00:02:32

now we're not going to watch this whole

00:02:34

thing burn we'll come back when sis

00:02:37

order on its last legs and I'll get the

00:02:39

fire going then with this flame to to

00:02:42

melt the wax down and actually make

00:02:43

these but I just wanted to show this

00:02:45

before we made these of why and how

00:02:47

great these really are as as a fire

00:02:51

starter and really ideal for wet

00:02:53

conditions this is going to burn for

00:02:55

minutes on end it's going to get big I'm

00:02:57

not going to cut away yet I want this to

00:02:59

sort of catch a little bit more it's

00:03:00

just to show you how big this can

00:03:02

actually get the flame can get and put

00:03:04

my phone down now you know the times

00:03:05

going great to keep in a kit really

00:03:08

lightweight really easy to make pretty

00:03:10

cheap you can I'm going to be using

00:03:12

beeswax for the video but you can also

00:03:14

use paraffin wax or if you have candles

00:03:16

you want to use all that good stuff and

00:03:20

honestly in a wet in a wet condition or

00:03:24

any condition for how long is it's going

00:03:25

to burn if you can't get a fire going

00:03:28

it's just not meant to be because this

00:03:30

is going to burn for a long time it's

00:03:32

going to keep a sustained flame you've

00:03:37

got two flames going right here check

00:03:41

the timer because we're going to cut

00:03:42

away soon here so where are we at right

00:03:45

now

00:03:46

minute 20 you see the size of the flame

00:03:49

going

00:03:55

so we'll be back whenever this is soda

00:03:57

on its last legs which I'll show you the

00:03:59

timer and then I'll get the fire going

00:04:00

and we'll start making one of these

00:04:03

check it in now this is about as big as

00:04:06

it's probably going to get the flames

00:04:07

going to get what's that time let me

00:04:09

00:04:56

why you get involved a few pieces of

00:05:00

birds here just to get my get a flame

00:05:02

00:05:04

fire then now to taxi

00:05:07

00:05:24

burn baby burn

00:05:33

their stuff on there

00:05:41

help dry this out in news

00:05:53

but that's really cool it's such a cool

00:05:56

piece of you know your equipment fire

00:05:59

equipment you can do on your own that's

00:06:01

really cheap the first time I saw this I

00:06:03

want to give credit to mr. David Wendel

00:06:05

bushcraft on fire check out his YouTube

00:06:07

channel it's a great stop for

00:06:08

information really like what he's doing

00:06:10

that's the first time I saw it this done

00:06:13

and I wanted to try it really easy to do

00:06:18

like I said be hard-pressed to find

00:06:19

another something that's going to work

00:06:21

better than that that you can make at

00:06:22

your make yourself for really cheap you

00:06:25

know if you if you know something let me

00:06:27

know but honestly in my experience what

00:06:30

I've seen that seems to stop the timer'

00:06:35

these cotton ball is dipped in wax her

00:06:37

freaking amazing really cool really

00:06:40

awesome stuff so how are we going to do

00:06:42

this what do we need to start with well

00:06:44

first of all all our videos are shot

00:06:45

outside I'm going to be doing on the

00:06:47

fire you can do it in your house in the

00:06:49

kitchen more controlled environment but

00:06:51

you're going to need some sort of metal

00:06:52

container that you need um need to melt

00:06:55

the wax down so I just have a soda pop

00:06:58

Pinsky can here cut off that I've used

00:07:00

before you can see it's black and by the

00:07:01

fire have that here make sure attention

00:07:05

to the fire

00:07:20

soda-can was the same sort of can

00:07:22

obviously your need some some cotton

00:07:25

balls and just make sure this keep this

00:07:29

fire going don't need a huge fire for

00:07:33

this but

00:07:42

all right so I got my soda can here what

00:07:45

you just saw burning in the video was

00:07:47

with these cotton balls here

00:07:48

specifically and this is kare 1 it's

00:07:51

calling it triple triple size triple

00:07:54

size and you want to make sure it's 100%

00:07:56

cotton that the blend whatever you have

00:07:58

here is 100% cotton that's important

00:08:01

these are pretty big you saw that one

00:08:03

burning for eight and a half minutes you

00:08:04

can definitely definitely I think you

00:08:06

have ones that will burn longer

00:08:07

depending how much cotton is actually

00:08:08

impregnated with the wax and that

00:08:10

depends on the heat but basically I need

00:08:12

some cotton balls which I have here I'm

00:08:13

going to pull a few out just to set

00:08:15

aside not sure how many I'm going to

00:08:18

make and I have a piece of foil here

00:08:20

just to set the hot cotton once they get

00:08:23

dipped and I have beeswax a bag of

00:08:26

beeswax that I bought in a chunk or

00:08:27

stoney and I bought and chunk I think

00:08:28

sexy stone II did but I've cut down from

00:08:32

the bigger chunk I brought smaller

00:08:33

pieces with me but I'm just going to use

00:08:35

that fill it up in the fill it up in

00:08:39

here for now and then I'm going to find

00:08:43

a spot for this on the fire once it

00:08:45

burns down just a little bit if you have

00:08:49

any experience with other you know how

00:08:51

many natural fire starter tenders that

00:08:53

works better than this or method you

00:08:55

prefer to make these you know let me

00:08:57

know leave a comment always appreciate

00:08:59

them

00:09:02

you know petroleum products or alcohol

00:09:05

and mixed with um you know Vaseline and

00:09:08

a cotton ball work really well too but

00:09:10

definitely not as good as a not as good

00:09:12

as this so at this point I'm just going

00:09:14

to get this can on top of the fire and

00:09:16

let that start to melt down a little bit

00:09:18

and I and you can't see it because of

00:09:21

the angle but this is already starting

00:09:23

to go down to liquid form

00:09:27

see it moving and this will take a

00:09:31

little take a little bit of time

00:09:32

depending on how much wax you're putting

00:09:34

in and honestly I'm a conservationist

00:09:43

that heart meaning I like to try things

00:09:46

that try to get things to work with the

00:09:48

least amount of resources possible so

00:09:52

sometimes I skimp on something when I'm

00:09:54

trying to figure it out and use that you

00:09:57

know the least amount like I said to get

00:09:58

it going but for this for this video I'm

00:10:02

program just use a little bit more and I

00:10:06

have my victory victory Knox angler over

00:10:09

here has a little bit of a fish pliers

00:10:12

to grab a fish so I can use this to grab

00:10:13

this hot can if I want swish around we

00:10:16

would over the fire a little bit humid

00:10:19

today fire wouldn't be my first choice

00:10:21

of activities to do on a hot humid day

00:10:23

and hot you in summer day in

00:10:24

Pennsylvania but nonetheless it's so fun

00:10:27

just being around a fire making things

00:10:28

practicing skills spending time with my

00:10:31

brother all that good stuff like to do

00:10:34

outside now we're getting somewhere now

00:10:37

give us a little shade coat that Oh

00:10:41

smoke follows you you're beautiful or

00:10:43

something like that

00:10:54

definitely don't want this to tip over

00:10:56

in the fire keep this fire going on this

00:11:01

side a little bit so use it if I need it

00:11:12

you

Description:

Krik of Black Owl Outdoors shows you how to make wax-coated cotton balls, one of the best all condition fire tinders. If the wax coating is effective, the cotton balls will be waterproof, as well as accept a spark from a ferro rod or the flame of a lighter. The cotton balls, although they can be messy, are easy to use and will burn for upwards of 7 minutes per ball.
