Hi everyone!
In the stone age when the early man had discovered fire (from natural causes like lightning :z: , volcano's, etc..), before being able to make it himself (rubbing sticks, flint,...) they used to carry it around in something that one could call a "ember-container". Even today some tribes of pygmees still practise such ways. Has anyone of you ever tried this? The advantage of such a thing of course is that you already have a glowing ember to start a fire. Disadvantage is probably that it's probably to bulky (and dangerous) to carry around.
But I could imagine that there is some usefull knowledge to gain from this practise.
Anybody any idea how one does keep an ember glowing for a whole day long?
Cheers,
Ripley
