When everything including your tinders soaked

[Whittler Kev]

Just came across this vid where he dunks everything underwater before trying to start a fire with a ferro rod. Makes some very good points so thought I'd share

Thanks for that Kev, but midway I was starting to think, man, he should of practiced this at home
Still he got there and as you say, made some good points.

I take out my fire kit, haul out my bic lighter and ranger bands and start a fire. Possibly aided by kerosene from my stove and/or meths...

If it's life critical for me to start a fire, all environmental concerns get tossed out the window in my book. I'll start fire with napalm if I have to....and itæs really not that hard to make...well, in the forest it is, but you see my point. Okay, now I'll watch the vid

He just kept going, that's what it's all about... Never give up

Thats the message I get and a real good point

I think he knew he could do it but was just proving something to himself.
Point taken though, if poss everything should be practised at home where you have more control over stuff if the outcome of your actions is all a kaflooey
