Adventure With BeeGee Fire Starting Mashup Today we have a mashup of all the fire starting videos Jack has made over the years (we will continue to update as we explore new and exciting fire starting techniques). These various methods can be used while hiking, camping, during a disaster, for prepping or just for fun. So have a watch and I hope you enjoy our videos. Jack using one of his backup techniques to light a fire Fire Starting with a 9-Volt Battery In this video, Jack walks everyone through the simple steps of using a 9-volt battery to ignite steel wool.  While this might no be the best backup method for hiking, it has a valuable use during a disaster.

I was lucky enough to go in the to this year’s show at the beginning of 2016. By going to this kind of trade show, we are able to set up our orders for the year, so we know we won’t run out of product .  It’s just like pre-ordering. Father-son shenanigans My dad and I were able to fly out of Austin, TX without a hitch; however, the trip became a lame layover in Houston, TX. We finally made it South Carolina and took a cab to our hotel. I don't mean to sound rude, but the taxi cab was the nastiest and most expensive taxi cab we have ever been in. after an awkward ride, we get the hotel and make ourselves at home while we waited for our store owner to fly in. He arrived a few ...
