I really enjoyed this video - and a big YAY!! to Mariam (apologies if I spelled your name wrong) for volunteering to do this! Made me, a 58-year-old woman, feel like I'll be able to do this, too!

That was funny

If you just come out of cold water and try to ignite a fire with the blastmatch you have a a big problem. Even though it is waterproof with cold hands it´s really hard to produce enough pressure to get it done.

In this case I recommend to centrifugate your arms so that more blood is going into your hands.

@beargrylls007 wow ur so cool

Maybe it was the fact that she didn't want to break a finger nail. In a survival situation, having lovely nails can make all the difference. Just ask Bear Grylls. He has his nails done before every episode of his fake survival show.

@DavZZee it is kind of fake but its not if u watch the show at the beggining it says some situations are presented to bear so tht he can demonstrate the skills and techniques of what he does. just like with every other survival show.

@etekballer14 Except survivorman. Les Stroud made a point of not prepping anything out there. No one is out there with him. No crew. He does everything himself. No situations presented. What you see is what he filmed. I miss that show.

I agree with q1qeu, I think the product is overrated. I wasn't surprised to see the little gal and the host having a little trouble with it.

[q1qeu]

give me all thumbs down if you like but i still think the blast match is an overrated and overprized toy. look how much easier it was to light the cottonball in the "firestarting with the left hand" video using this tiny flintstriker (sparklite?) :-)

@q1qeu

This was design 4 using it with only one hand. In survival situation where U cant use both hand (ea: injured / broken), and to use it with glove on (in cold area).

U'll be surprised how many girls who struggle to light even a simple BIC lighter.
