Fire Prep - Swamp Rat Rodent 9

[mcjhr]

Great vid! Nice soundtrack too. Was that the Sven saw?

Awesome video by the way. Very well put together.

I was just putting the Rodent away and thought I would snap a few pictures.

Rodent 9, Mashed Cat sheath, Esee Molle back and pouch.....



Fire kit. About 15' paracord, matches, flint and steel, fire disk.....



And with the Esee 5 for comparison since it was brought up..... (Esee pouch contains roughly the same stuff)

+2. I considered making an ultra light BOB out of a machete inside of a shotgun scabbard with molle webbing. With the Molle on there, you can have one small bag for fire starting, a trauma kit, and maybe an emergency blanket or something. Seemed like it would be awkward to carry though, so I like TinElement's set-up a little better.

The Esee rides along daily on my GHB. Think I covered that over in the survival threads, although that was probably 2 yrs ago, it's always changing. Although it is tore down now, cause some of it comes backpacking, I should do a current review on it......

That sounds and looks fun! I would have liked to have seen the hotel you stayed on though too! Looks like a fun! I need to do stuff like this but my buddies are too city for stuff like that! Good stuff and nice knife!

Nice vid! What's your secret sauce for the homemade fire disk? Or is that in a thread somewhere?

What saw was that?

They are the round make-up discs dipped on candle wax. I know there is a thread over in survival. Irving will probably know, think he did some out of tampons. Haha!

Saw was a cheap-o $5 from Jax. It's lasted since about April. So $ well spent.
