None of them involved necessarily playing with or training with guns, but I did a bunch of gear shit.

So as the viewers will know, as if they've watched me, I am a bit of a nicotine fiend.

I have a addiction.

Well, they only last five seconds.

No, you just don't pay attention because when we were at the range, I went through quite a few of them and I was spitting them out all the time.

So anyway, because I have the, I guess, requirement to collect or not collect, but to have many dip cans, I decided I was going to do something useful with them.

I found out at some point in my life that scraping the paint off of the lid of a dip can was actually very cathartic for me.

It's like cleaning guns or working on cars or like the things you do with your hands to tell your brain to shut the fuck up for a little bit.

That's what that is for me.

And so I decided to make these little emergency pocket fire starting kits with dip cans.

You can use Altoid cans too.

But you scrape the paint off of the inside and the outside of the can.

You polish it up so it's reflective.

It's not like mirror mirror reflective, but you could use it as a makeshift signal mirror if you had to.

We could polish that thing to be mirror.

I think that for whatever reason, I have tried using a Dremel wheel with polishing compound.

And for whatever reason, that shit does not like, they don't like each other.

So I used 5,000 grit sandpaper, polished it up pretty good, inside it out.

I put a little striker wheel, flint striker wheel on the inside.

You can get five of them from Amazon for like 15 bucks.
