Does This Emergency Glow Stick Work After 5 Years Stored in My Car?
Will this Coghlans emergency 8 hour glow stick still work after being stored in my car for around five years? Let's crack it open and test! My concern is that the chemicals inside have naturally degraded, leaked, or been neutralized by extremely high and low temperatures.
NOTE: I have no way of knowing if the light output was degraded because I don't have a new one to compare it to and the ones produced now are completely different structure and packaging.

Time for another real world gear test! You may or may not have heard of windproof electric plasma arc lighters (they go by many names), but regardless, we're testing three of them in this video.

Ferro Rod Test - What Can it Light on Fire?
Time to find out what a Ferrocerium rod will and won't light on fire. We've got the two cheapest ferrocerium rods I could find and some cotton balls, alcohol, propane, paper towels, petroleum jelly, and more! The results of what will and won't light on fire using them were a bit surprising.
For the record, Harbor Freight's product listing still insists that at least something involved in this product is Magnesium BUT apparently I wasn't aware that Ferrocerium is partially made with Magnesium. So I guess that's what they were referring to, not the block next to it. My ongoing theory is still that the block is an aluminum oxide knife sharpener but if you think the packaging or instructions are any help then you aren't very familiar with Harbor Freight.

The Cheapest Way to Cool an Off-Grid Building
Forget air conditioners, computer-controlled cooling circuits, and other expensive methods. What can you fit in your backpack to vent out an overheating building or other shelter?
Well, in case you're out in the woods and need to store something or sleep inside a small building of some sort with the sun beating down on it, the best way is to move the air. What if you're in an urban environment and need a building to stop getting so hot for one reason or another? This is the cheapest reliable, perpetual system I've come up with involving some equipment I've shown on the channel in the past and a few new toys.
