Testing a Fire Kit for Hiking and Bushcraft

Testing a Fire Kit for Hiking and Bushcraft

Today I’m field testing a fire kit as part of a simple one-day hiking, camping, and bushcraft setup. This is not a desk review or first impression. Everything you see in this video is tested the way I actually use it outdoors several times. The fire kit is evaluated using my Trust Score™ system, based on real-world performance. At the end of the video, I also include a short bonus section showing the fire-making methods I used throughout the video: A DIY striker made from a file Phoenix fireballs Fire straws These are small skills I personally use as part of my fire kit. Thanks for watching. – Mads, Leaf Outdoors 00:00 Intro 00:30 One-Day Kit Overview 02:05 Fire Kit Overview 04:30 Setting Up Camp 06:34 Fire Straws 07:25 Flint & Steel + Char Cloth 08:37 Camp & Cooking 10:38 Trust Score™ 12:37 Fire Skills (Flint, Phoenix Fireballs & Fire Straws)
