Rant off.
Corporal Kelly is probably one of the last Boy Scouts and his focus is purely on bushcraft. He knows all the common hacks for starting a campfire and also some rather…exotic methods. I’ve never seen this one before and will likely never use it. A Bic and some birch bark is just fine for me.
Exothermic reactions are all well and good but I might have some serious reservations about those fumes given off, and the energetic reaction. You want your light kindling to rest over the flame and catch light…on an aggressive source like that I can see it getting blown away. Would it burn long enough to ignite the bigger stuff you’d have to use?
When I was in the Army, we had two different chemicals that were used for decontamination after a chemical or biological attack. One was Supertropical Bleach (STB), which I think is about the same thing as "pool shock". The other was called DS2. We had to keep them separated at all times, since they would spontaneously ignite if mixed. The DS2 must have been similar to the brake fluid in the video.

Potassium Permagnate (a Water-softener Chemical) and Glycerine. Same Reaction (Fire) and neither Chemical is particularly Toxic.
