new knives and fire

[Bige610]

So I went to Menards a hardware store here in the midwest to get some fatwood (yeh i know) i havent been able to find any in the area so i just broke down and bought some. Pluss i love the smell and it seems to keep the skeeters away.

any way i saw this stuff there

EDIT: I forgot to add. they fire starter is in the packet is a wax like substance. pretty cool i got 24 of them for under 5 bucks

this stuff is awesome a few strikes from my badger fire steel and it was up in no time. and it stayed lit long enough to light my fat wood and other tinder on fire.

i added a few packets to my fire kit

i also got to test out my knew knives

and the knives and homebrew

Thanks for sharing. I love the handle on the knife, looks like it would be comfortable to hold. :thumbup:

How long does the fire starter burn, exactly? Did you get a time on it, other than long enough to get the fatwood going?

 

[Bige610]

no sorry it probably burns for at least 5 minutes. ill try some of it on its own. it was hard to tell since the wood caught so quickly

Man, that JK is sharp (pun intended)! I love the handle shape. It reminds me of the NWA Sierra Scout people have been posting pics of. Awesome.

Great looking knives. I will be checking out Menards asap.

I also get fatwood from Menards...4lb bag for $4! It would cost more in gas to go out and find my own. I've seen it online 1lb bag for $3...I'll stick with Menards.
Nice pics and knives!
Good looking homebrew also, I'm brewing a Porter and a Amber Ale this weekend. My Red Ale is still my favorite.
