I’m Brooklyn Bagwell casting director
for doomsday preppers and I’m here in
Denver Colorado learning everything
about self-reliance all Preppers know
that lugging out means going back to
basics and there’s a vendor here today
that’s going to show me just how to do
it these are called the bow drill fire
sticks a bow drill fire stick uses
friction to start a fire the one of the
most basic fire making tools ever
invented by man I want to do it you’re
gonna get in a position like this as
though you were shooting a gun see that
a little bit of a charred end up there
you’re gonna put that in the air first
you connect the bow and the drill you’re
gonna put the drill between the bow and
the cord and twist it forward then you
fit the drill into the fire socket and
quickly spin the drill with the course
smoking already the friction created
between the cord and the stick makes a
charred powder that turns into embers
gives you a new feeling of respect when
you place the embers into a pile of bark
or tinder they will smolder and your
next step is fire almost there if you
think fire is a basic survival need what
about needing to see in the dark this
next vendor shed some new light on this
subject I’ve never heard of reusable
I know a glowsticks are but they’re
never reusable yeah ours are really cool
what makes ours really cool is that they
absorb light to charge and then they
glow in the dark so just by having them
out right now they’re charging as soon
as you go into the dark they’re gonna
glow all night long and they’re
recharging again and again forever so
you never throw it away but you see
those crystals in there that’s what
makes it glow those same crystals are in
these bigger sheets okay because these
crystals are large they can absorb more
light faster and because they’re bigger
they can hold on to it longer so you
know I know when peppers they bug out
sometimes they’re off the grid
completely no electricity nothing does
this require any electricity no
batteries no bulbs and absolutely no
electricity you have to see how bright
they are I would love to see how bright
their okay oh my goodness yeah so this
is my dark tent okay it’s our we I know
it’s awesome but what I’m gonna do is
I’m gonna shut off my flashlight and I’m
gonna show you how bright these lights
are okay so there’s a UV pack light you
can charge them with sunlight that’ll
take about one minute of sunlight to get
you over 10 hours of below right so you
use this to your advantage
charge them with other light sources I’m
gonna hold the flashlight on here for
about five seconds then I’m gonna shut
off my flashlight and I’m going to save
the batteries and use this to light up
space remember they’re made from the
same crystals so you can charge all of
them the same way yeah that’s it I’m
just running a flashlight over it make
it nice and bright and then save your
batteries and you have life that’s
awesome this is perfect for a prepper
it’s light it’s small and it’s a great
secondary light source you can roll it
up
set zero weight and space in your bag
plus it’s waterproof okay no batteries
to worry about no bulbs to break it’s
gonna last forever so you can put it in
your bug out bag and forget about stop
these glow sticks in your emergency kit
and you’ll have a sustainable light
source for your bedroom or your bunker
even in a grid down situation you’ll
never be in the dark solar technology is
more accessible to Preppers than ever
before and at this expo big ideas come
in small packages so this is literally a
power grid in a suitcase
for doomsday preppers and I’m here in
