9/10 for me...

The moon question got me

 

[Dreadhead]

why should you melt snow before drinking? .... 'to avoid brain freeze' hahaha

8/10 too. luckily ill never get brain freeze though just hopelessly lost whilst staring at the sun or moon

 

[Robbi]

8/10 for me as well

 

[Kepis]

10/10 here, think my knowledge of astronomy helped though

 

[udamiano]

full marks , some of those questions were a bit vague though. the soda can and chocolate (I had seen it done, so got it out of luck), and the water one. you don't get dehydration, you get hypothermia from cooling your core to fast, so had to apply bit of lateral on that one.

good quiz though

Cheers

 

[whats wrong with you all]

8/10 the making fire with interesting methods got me, certainly never heard of one of those before would like to give it a try though

 

[Wilderbeast]

10/10 for me ......but I guessed the moon one (bonus point for integrity I think !)

9/10
The first question got me, IMHO it the wrong answer. the rule of 3 & all that.

9/10 the water vs warmth i think is debatable, cos if there is no warmth your dead.

 

[Teepee]

8/10

I got the first one wrong(right) and the moon question.

Snap! Me too.

i've never heard nor seen the can and chocolate fire making....how does that work then ?

 

[Kepis]

you use the choc to polish the concave bottom of a can which then acts as a parabolic mirror when held up to the sun and ignites some tinder held at just the right point in front of the can as the mirror focuses the suns rays at a central point

bit like this http://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/417-Sundance-Solar-Spark-Lighter/ but considerably cheaper

 

[Robbi]

hell, would never have thought of that !!

thanks for the info, don't think i'll try it though

9/10 the water vs warmth i think is debatable, cos if there is no warmth your dead.

i was thinking that as well, you can die of hypothermia long before you die of dehydration

8/10 - Fail

Didn't have a clue about the bright side of the moon and I spawned a lucky guess on the walking south question

Despite that how the chuff do you start a fire with a pop can and chocolate, I got that wrong?
