Buck Knife and Firestarter

That was the hardest thing when I quit, the hand thing....

Yea, you have too many alligators to be living outside...

Has anyone else used the "550 cord" with the strand of firestarter embedded in it for their lanyards?

I'm big on paracord stuff. I make all my own bracelets lanyards ect. I was taught the craft a long time ago (long b4 it was cool and popular) by a man who brought home a 1000 ft spool from Fort brag to entertain some kids lol. But browsing my local Wally World I found this gray and orange stuff that works great. I usually wouldn't buy it there but I took a shot. There's coated red cord inside and it burns forever.

Great job, Brhowser! There's a lot of utility in that lightweight set.

I tried to move fat cat but she is a mean one and will bite and scratch if moved when comfy.

Sounds like you're the problem. Cat stays, you go.

I get the same cord at WallyWorld, it does burn very well....It's kinda of a pain to burn the fraying off because the cord catches fire, never ending....

It's funny you said that cause as I was typing that last post I was thinking just that. So I pulled some out and if u pull back the outer layer and with a small pair of scissors cut the cord, then just pull it out. It makes burning the ends easier. If not u end up with that charred bit on the end.

If I got bit and scratched, it would be lucky if it got to go outside! Thumbs up on quitting smoking.

For a moment there, I thought you lit jb's fat cat, but now I see it's just fatwood.

Good to know that Mesa's spine is sharp enough to strike a firesteel and the sand blasted finish didn't interfere.

It works well I have started many fires with it just out playing around.
