My eyebrows off.
Didn't prime a liquid fuel stove properly; made mistake of bending over it to see if the jet was clear. Won't do that again.

Hi...
A week ago I was showing a mate a peice of charcloth and a firesteel. He was amazed and so was his dog, cause it nearly ate the cloth! :shock:
It was very hot and burning when it came over and put the nose in the cloth... We got it away pretty quick!

I once tried to blow flames using a mouth full of Zippo liter fluid and a lit match. My friend - the eternal spectator - made me laugh and I managed to set fire to my whole face. At first I didn't believe him so I walked in to the house, cool as a cucumber... After looking in the mirror panic REALLY set in!
Other than that, the standard fires in dug outs, the occasional flaming sambuka gone wrong, typical stuff. :chill:

My sleepingbags are always notable by their holes.

I blew up my workshop - nasty affair starting with a bit of metal and a cutting disk, sparks from that found their way to 2kg of iron wool I'd forgotten to put away which in turn found a small bag of black powder which then found my fibre glass catalyst. What I don't understand was given the total devastation in the place, I didn't have a single mark on me or my clothes.
I don't store flammables in the workshop any more, not when I'm cutting metal anyhow.

When I was learning to bow drill I decided to practice in the kitchen on a rainy day - sawing away - plumes of smoke arose accompanied by the smell of burning plastic.
I'd drilled through both the hearth and the kitchen lino! :shock:

Forgot my "classic" actually. Fleetwood beach, Lancashire, on the way home from Beltring. Big pile of meat from Tesco, half a crate of Guinness, and a folding BBQ.
Eating away merrily while grilling the next round of cow anus, I raked the coals a bit to keep the heat up.
And one of them fell out.....You know the way some things induce a reflex action? Well, when I see something falling I try to catch it......
Mek!
