Alternate firesteel technique video...

[Martyn]

OK, I confess, this is more of a test of photobuckets new streaming video hosting (thanks for the heads up rapidboy) than a firesteel tip, but I thought I might as well make it worthwhile.

Take one sebenza, a bit of envelope and a Swedish firesteel and make a fire...

No shredding or "fluffing up", just light that piece of paper straight from the firesteel? Yes it can be done...




Enjoy.

Nice tip and streaming works fine

Well i be a son of b&^$ how about a dry leaves also wrap some dry pine needles in it

 

[Martyn]

Yeah, dry leaves, whatever - I just used paper cos it was to hand and it proves a point nicely. The envelope was of the kind you would get an electricity or gas bill in. Quite thick - 80gm possibly.

Point is, you dont have to shread anything.

Cant claim it was my tip, it came from "Bear Stone" originally, but it's a goodie.

The video or the technique?

the video, it keeps telling me I require Flash 8.

which I download from the link it provides, which makes no difference what so ever and I still get the message about needing flash 8

 

[bloodline]

That means I have to choose between a bottle of wine or go outside and practice another method of using a fire steel. :You_Rock_

 

[Jeff Wagner]

Very clever. Bet you could do the same with a dead leaf or piece of birch bark...

Prolly needs flash8 then.

Sorry.


Can you run other flash files? Photobucket converts the uploads to flash files for some reason. The original was a quicktime mov file ~13Mb, but PB has turned it into a flash file and uses it's internal player. Basically, that means the problem is with your computer.

Can't get the flash thing to work..shame really

 

[Stuart]

Ah ha... now I can see the video! it was somthing to do with my security programs, turn them off and hey presto, it works

(have split off the trap videos I put in this post and put them in the fair game section as they were very off topic)
