I want to be with this guy when the zombies strike.

I was going to recommend that too.

In progressive successive videos John Plant shows* the basic technique then effort-saving improvements such as a bow and a pump (both applicable to drilling too). In later videos, fire-making (and drilling) are routine elements of bigger projects.

But yes, I’ll stick with a firesteel. :wink:

*: Protip: remember to turn the captions on. John (famously) doesn’t speak in the videos, but he does provide text commentaries.

I’ve started a fire with my glasses just to prove that I could do it.

I’m gonna bookmark this right now, in case I ever find myself freezing to death in the woods and have to quickly reference it.

My tired self read the headline as “How to start a fight with your bare hands” and I wondered what was so hard about just punching someone.

First, how long have you had that ability, and second, why is Trump still in office?

Always bring this fellow along on woodsy outings. (I offer no apologies for the obscure reference.)

This would make a fantastic fan pull for the tactical every day carry stealth black ceiling fan.

I’m very nearsighted, so my prescription is concave. I suppose I could spend a long time preventing fires with my glasses…

I’d rather entrust Liam Neeson to keep my teenage daughter safe

He did the best he could in Krull.

Its my asthma. Original B &W LOTF far superior to the ghastly US version.

Edit: OMG Just watched a good part of it again. It is SO dated. Except for the message.
