morning guys I'm Dave Canterbury with self-reliance Outfitters in the Pathfinder school and what I wanted to do today was kind of jump off the cabin series for a minute and talk to you about a product line that we're carrying currently at self-reliance Outfitters of XO tack products I think that EXO tack is a solid brand we have just recently started Kenya products in the store but I have been carrying three of their items for quite some time now one of them I've been carrying for a while over a year and the others I've been carrying for one of them for several months and then the other one for just about a month so I've tested them on and off but the last one that I got I've been testing it now for about a month as I said but I use it almost every single day so what I wanted to do was talk to you about these three products kind of go through them and also talk to you a little bit specifically about the EXO attack lighter because there seems to be some confusion or some problems that are coming along with people using this lighter that are used to using the Zippo type lighters and it is a different animal altogether so we'll talk about that in just a minute stay with me okay so the first product I want to talk to you about is this EXO tack lighter cover now all of these items that I have are in black we chose to carry orange on our website to begin with because I believe it's a good high contrasting color that you don't lose easily in the woods and for someone buying this to put in their kit I think that's a good idea the black ones were sent to me as samples so I've been using the black but the products are exactly the same just a different color so the exit a Collider cover basically takes any pick lighter and makes it waterproof by giving it a rubberized cover that goes over the top of it and friction fits so there's water proof and I have tested this in a bucket of water and it is waterproof now the other thing with this lighter that it allows you to do with this lighter cover is it has a split in the back of the cover here that actually can slide over the top of your button my fingers a little bit cold today that actually will slide over the top of your lighter button to hold the fuel button so that when you light the lighter it's about 10 degrees out here today so my lighters naughty wanted to light but when you light the lighter one disadvantage to the bic lighter you got to keep it warm when you do this it will hold the fuel button down so that if you don't want to hold your finger on the button for a long period of time for flame you have that advantage with that flip up keeper I just put paracord on mine to keep the lid attached to the lighter so I don't lose it and I made it tight so I pull it over it's a friction fit but I don't have anything dangling off of it in my pocket to get in the way so that exit attack lighter cover is the one I've been carrying the longest and it doesn't really take that much more room than the bic lighter does itself but it helps to waterproof that bit lighter and I like that really really well ok the next product I want to talk to you about is called the match cap and this is the match cap XL I'm not sure if we're carrying the XL or the regular match cap on our website the only difference is capacity but basically it gives you a waterproof match container just like a metal match container but it has an o-ring seal and a striker that's built inside of it to be protected when it's sealed from the moisture and it's made to fit the waterproof matches the storm matches that are made by you co so if you're already using you co brand products like these matches you can use this exit AK match cap to keep those matches in and your striker will then be on the inside protected instead of on the outside of the case like the plastic you co case has now the u co case has extra strikers on the inside that are tucked into the case but you can also I believe this one comes with a few extra strikers as well in the package that you can put inside here if you'd like to but I haven't had any problems with this one and I've used it quite a few times the advantage to these u co matches these storm proof matches is you just can't put them out you can put them in water I've done videos of it pull them out they light back up put them in water pull them out they light back up Barry pull them out they light back up so if you're looking to carry matches as an option for fire and there are some advantages to matches for sure especially for younger folks who can't necessarily manipulate a lighter with cold hands or if it's cold outside in your lighter doesn't light matches do have some advantages if you need fire right to second and so I do recommend this product it is waterproof I have tested it there's no question that it works and it's not a very expensive product for what you get a lot of the metal match cases that you find today that are made overseas have some inherent problems with them these products are made in the USA extra tax a great company and I like them and I trust your products ok now let's talk about their latest product that Titan Lite and this is a for lack of a better description a regular liquid fuel lighter very similar to a Zippo that has some advantages over the Zippo lighter first off it has an o-ring seal and that is an advantage in that it will not let the fuel evaporate but if you overfill this lighter it can be a disadvantage so let's talk about filling this lighter now I've had this lighter for quite a quite a while about a month and when I first got it I overfilled it when you overfill it you're going to have problems so what I would recommend is you take that batting and just saturated enough really quick a couple three milliliters is enough if you take this cap and you filled this cap up twice and dumped it in there that would be enough to get you started for sure what will happen if you overfill this lighter is because you have a closed chamber with no release the pressure will build up in here and push the excess fuel up to the top and you're gonna have leakage problems and when you light the lighter you're gonna end up with flame around the outside and probably on your hands if you're not careful as long as you don't overfill it you have that problem so you've got to be cognizant of that when you buy this lighter it is a very very good product in my opinion I've been using this one for a month every single day and it works very very well you can see it's very very wind resistant the wind is blowing right now and it's not blowing it out we don't have a 20 mile an hour wind but there is some wind okay and no lighters completely windproof that I've ever seen

not a lighter like this anyway even a Zippo but this will take some wind then it won't get blown out as long as you've got fuel in it you can blow it out by blowing directly on top of it but when coming from the side doesn't blow it out very easily now again if you overfill this lighter you're going to have fluid leaked into this upper chamber of this chimney area and then it's going to spill out these vents when you open it up and you're gonna catch the outside the lighter on fire and probably your fingers at the same time so don't overfill the lighter to change the flint you just push in the detents on the side and you'll be able to take the top chamber off and get to the spring in the Flint

very similar to any other type lighter like this if fluid the fluid is filled from the bottom just like I showed you to begin with and again you can use this cap as a measuring device two of these caps initially is enough in that batting to saturate it and make that lighter work and you won't have problems with the fluid coming to the outside and all over your hands you can see I just put more fluid in that lighter and it's not coming to the outside even if I shake the thing up and down I'm not going to get any fluid on the outside that lighter this lighter is very simple to use you just have to understand what not to do what you don't want to do is overfill this lighter other than that what I can tell you is that's the first fluid I put in this lighter since the first day I filled it a month ago and I use it every day so it's very good at conserving fuel I did have problems with this lighter leaking into the top because I failed to follow the directions on their website and filled it straight to the top of the batting like I would with a normal ship oh the problem the Zippo is not going to give you that problem because the fuel can evaporate if you overfill this lighter by accident I would suggest taking the top off and leaving it sit for a while to let some of that fluid evaporate out then you should be able to alleviate the problem or just use it and live with it and telling us not leaking anymore and then don't overfill it the second time around but you can see I just filled it back up with some fluid and it's not leaking it off in my opinion this is a solid product I wouldn't back it if I didn't think it was okay guys I just wanted to take a few minutes today to go over these 3x attack products with you number one because their new product on our website but number two and mainly because I have seen some people have problems with this ax attack Titan light from overfilling the lighter
