Why do these idiots make videos showing techniques and equipment they have no idea of using?
Why do they post them?
Is this some sort of ritual masochism?
Is it some sort ofidea that they have to show the world that they are bigger numpties than anyone else?
Not only was he carp at firelighting, selecting tools and equipment for firelighting and boiling water ie a fresnel lens to boil water IN A SEALED JAR (nice scars from the exploding glass steam bomb Rick!) but could not even follow the makers instructions that come with the Kelly Kettle TAKE THE CORK OUT WHEN BOILING THE KETTLE!
nor did he understand how to make fire with matches!
It is a sad world when blokes like this make "Wiggy" look talented!

Also on his channel - why wearing camouflage turns you into a gun wielding power hungry nutter!

I thought that vid was just perfect.

It convinced me that the kids and I have come on a long way since we started.

TBH in this day and age it doesn't surprise me that average joe doesn't know how to light a simple fire.....

My mother inlaw kept trying to start a fire in her chiminea, one log the size of my thigh and a box of matches... oh how i laughed :)

Yeah - but did she post a vieo on youtube as a "how to use a chimenea"?
Thats the kind of thing that realy amazes me..... "how to"s posted by folk who obviously have zero idea!

I loved the safety goggles and the way he was trying to saw through the firesteel to get a spark. Great stuff!

No, it's not "only the internet". He, or one of his peers, will be asked to come to the BBC-studio to comment on why Bear Grylls died and what we should do about the nuclear accident in Sellafield because he is an expert. He has to be, look at how many hits he has on Facetube...
