See, when you first get the fire started you have to whisper or you'll scare it out again....

ok ok ok ok... I'm cought... I'm the one that goes to desert islands and leaves news papers blowing around. I can't help it.

Thats....really strange for someone make a video like that.

On the other hand I think we should make a pole, to whom would want to see Rick in a baby blue jump suit like that, and make him do a remake of the video, where he giggles like a girl every few second.

Well, there is that book that suggests oak as the best wood for fire-by-friction.

Guys,
I am gonna step in here and ask all of you to take it easy on this guy...he is obviously mentally challenged. No joking, he is a few links short of a full chain.
In case you are wondering, look at his Moms back yard, and his Dads old clothes that he is wearing. I for one, am proud of him.

thank you!

Where can I get some rocks like those? I want to carry lots of rocks in my backpack.

It reminds me of the video Ken sent me a few days ago.... I think this guy was messing around, though.

Rick, did he have a flair hidden under there. The way it went up, makes me wonder...

Potassium Permanganate & Sugar in that first "leaf" bundle. We have done it with Scouts as a demo of chemical fire lighting. PotPerm also reacts with glycerine (no grinding needed) to make fire.

There ya go. I remember using some in chemistry, but have never done it in the woods.

Thats kind of an insult to Bob Ross. A guy painting a "happy little stream", and the occasional, "lets get crazy folks.... lets put a big old tree riiiiiigggggghhhhttttt here"' on a PBS station is supposed to have funny nancy boy clothes, haircut, and personality. Kind of a pre-requisite of sorts.

A guy that makes Mr. Rogers look like a Sat night bouncer at your local "puke and bleed" dive bar...... starting a FIRE, generally isn't. Just sayin.....
