Video Transcription

howdy Turtles Creek back with another video today we're going to be checking in on the bic lighter that we've been performing this exposure test about checking in about it once every month and today's conditions are it's pretty dang cold it's about i don't know 15 degrees fahrenheit there are a couple inches of fresh snow really light powdery fresh snow goes really cold last night when it snowed but this is why i love the wintertime as you can see it's just a beautiful beautiful still day in the forest snow blanketing everything the little bit of snow hanging on the hemlocks it just creates a really beautiful scene and sort of the nice thing about coming out here when it's sunny and the winter and there are or there is you know light snow and that is a branches that when the when the breeze blows you know that light powdery snow comes off the branches and you get this really cool effect and really cool scene basically of the snow sort of glistening in front of the sunbeams and it's really almost you know magical and enchanting and that's why i love the winter there's no bugs you know it's really still it's really quiet in the forest and not a lot of people and it's just you know it really makes for a beautiful day out to enjoy enjoy nature now i want to go find the lighter i need to get a stick and dig it out because it's been under snow for almost the past month and then we'll get a little fire going assuming the lighter works

the lighter is somewhere underneath this birch tree oh I want to say it's somewhere down here so we're gonna start digging see if we can find it ah there it is cross the leaves on it that's frozen on their solid snow inside of it someone try to clean this off as best as I can pop it in my pocket and I'm going to look for some fire materials while this warms up man that's frozen on there if I want to put in my pocket trying to get all this frozen water off of that I needed to get warm for it to work it's going to work all right it's been out of the ground for maybe a minute shouldn't work right away oh look at that probably hold this for the next ten seconds we'll probably a nice strong flame it's very surprising honestly how fast that lit up considering you just saw it was covered basically a nice one side of it at least look at that that's pretty impressive pretty darn impressive if you ask me all right either way I'm gonna pop in my pocket and go grab some small small wood for the fire this is what I'm going after just a twig bundle got a little bit more than this but you can see the space behind all this and through this really thin really thin twigs some keep looking maybe get this about twice two or three times the size i have right now it's like a Bigfoot knock because it is this cold out today I'm not messing around looking for tinder anything it's got a little bit of fatwood in this pocket i'm going to use the light with the lighter since we're using a layer to get this fire going get the date on that earlier i'm not sure 1111 in 2014 not sure the date today all right strike a little fire going

just getting a little warm and fire today and i don't know like i said i was i'm impressed with that lighter honestly for it being you know we've had arctic air for the past week couple weeks where you know lows have been in the single digits wind chills have been below that this lighter has been under snow for almost a month steady and you saw when i took it out of the snow it was you know leaves were frozen to it and literally in my hand add you know exposed for 15-20 seconds the first couple clicks a little tiny baby flame that's pretty darn impressive I'm impressed and this fire feels so great right now okay so the last thing I want to do is put the lighter back cover back up with snow until the next time we come out and try it the lighter cool really not too much going all that lighter in terms of where or anything like that that look like it's been out here for november december almost three months house count in my head so we know we'll check back in another month or so see how it's doing i hope you liked the video pop one of these up your opposable thumbs that separates us from other mammals on the planet this is creek and stony sounding out for black out later turtles
