FireBow in Lost

[hog]

Did any one watch 'Lost' where Bernard was on the beach with a fire bow, after a few pathetic movements(about 4" in each direction) a flame suddenly appeared from the hearth.
Aaaaaaargh!!!! enough to make you cry with frustation at the makers not being acurate.

Its o.k m8, all this will mean is a couple of hundred people will go out into their garden and try the same thing they saw, and will fail miserably, and we will laugh......

 

[Melonfish]

yeah but when its cold and damp and there's no heat in your bones and your damn firebow just isn't getting any burning wood. then this is when you cry remembering the utter (deleted expletive) in lost.

watched one episode. realised that no one had lost weight. and make up perfect. one was enough

I was watching with my daughter and she said, "This should be interesting". It was downright pyrotechnic, snap, flash! Must have been wood from the famous tropical Bic tree. About the only realistic part of it was the failure to make fire, that is certainly a big part of the friction fire experience. Mac

 

[Wallenstein]

You're watching Lost and the only thing that's so far struck you as unlikely is the speed at which they make fire-by-friction?

 

[John Fenna]

There is "Lost" and there are the lost.......
and those who have lost .....

 

[HillBill]

I personally found the whole time shifting thing more interesting. Tho bow drill attempt was pathetic.

In contrast i thought Tom Hanks attempts at fire ploughing in castaway was quite realistic

In contrast i thought Tom Hanks attempts at fire ploughing in castaway was quite realistic

albeit his learning curve was fantastic.
otherwise yeah totally got the frustration then elation when he finally makes fire.

To be fair though, its not a documentary.
