Apocalypse Tip: How to Make Fire

[superbungabunga]

chuck norris just has to stare at a piece of wood, it gets scared and lights itself on fire

[1TacticalMedic]

The sponge will work, as birth control! Dude I want the dirt version! She has huge DSL's

[shbehncke]

Great vid, but that was not a picture of Steel Wool, it was a picture of a sponge and plastic wool, that will not work, it must be steel

[BatsaTV]

You naughty little pyroman

[azzy314159]

Ill tell you the best way.

Just rub against LORI. Sparks will fly every which way

[azzy314159]

silly

[sobeit42]

"good luck people" is my favourite part of this

[TheHossUSMC]

You should stick to what you know, which isn't much.

[bar50]

@TheHossUSMC Well, at least she knew the word tinder. Ya think she knows what tinder is?

[catfishmudflap]

Thank you for the tips, however I just burned down my house trying these methods. May I come to live with you for a while?

[ramose801]

Um did you just tell us how to make a bomb? I mean leaving the paper clip in too long will cause an explosion? So the size of battery + paper clip + time left connected = larger explosion? Did I get that subtile message right?

[spindleneedle]

@ramose801 bigger explosion = bigger battery = bigger paperclip, and even if u do find a paper clip big enough for ur 50 pound battery, battery + paper clip + time left = still gonna explode at random time... u have better luck finding uranium in beverly hills

[jacobbobcorn]

a pretty women, you are

[luarionte]

You can also make fire with ice!

[piepotatosandturtle2]

dont be silly a giant cloud will overconcume us and the soon will cover the sun

[Donnie2020]

this is just depressing (even though its a joke), cool ideas though

[Brulluhman]

And when you have seen Russia, where they tried to make fire. Well.. Lorie works for RT.

[httprover]

Usually one needs a fire to stay warm and dry off. With global warming it might be useful to know how to keep one's cool.

[Bizazah]

Ah , the good ole' sadist sarcasm humor

[agger12343]

Just because the US is going down, doesn't mean that the whole world is going to get screwed... It is the apocalypse of the west!

[BigYellowFishGuy]

You can also make fire with a shoe string, two sticks, and a medium-sized piece of wood.

[logic109]

You are so very informative...and Pretty!

[salemrush]

City folk

They're all gonna die

[mariusthq]

ahahaha,i love this babe,your awesome dude....haha!too bad your already married!

[Gaus212]

I guess lighting your fart is out of question :-)

[STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE]

Have you ever made a fire with just basic tools, ever? Just curious and a bic lighter does not count. I mean, you live in New York and been there your whole life and you are talking about making fire? I live in Anchorage, Alaska and would never bother making a video of the best places to shop in New York. Why are you making a video about making fire and living in New York and never made a fire from scratch? It is just odd. What next? How to make toliet paper from moss? Love to see that...

[STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE]

well, this is better than you water purifying video which was so wrong that you would either give someone the serious shits or kill them. you still have that video up which shows something odd about you. you have a video totally incorrect and yet you refuse to take it down or edit it? It reflects upon you but once again, you do not care even to the point of posting a bad video citing inaccurate information and your pride and stubborness forces you to not correct it. Amazing...

[audadvnc]

Flint and steel works well, of course.

[salemrush]

The Sun will be blocked out in the Apocalypse! Praise Cheezes!

And that is not steel wool! It's a scrubbee sponge! Praise Cheezes!

Just F#@K 'til it's all over!

Praise Cheezes!

[xOLDxCOWBOYx]

time won't matter so much because we won't have jobs or "leisure" pursuits.....still, thanks for the science.

[G58]

Too late Lori, we're all dead from trying your dumb water filter!

[fenixssanai2]

Resident Evil



[DallasHammster]

Word has it "Beavis And Butthead" is coming back to MTV. Can someone let Mike Judge know this video is here? ^_^

[jimlap777]

Call in the resident, she's hot enough to start a fire ;)

[fredgrauf]

hi, how are you doing? nice channel and videos! sub me back if you like my videos too!! :-) from Amsterdam !!

[theoriginalSkooby]

Scotch brite is not steel wool.

[MisanthropeKing]

What I learned from this video: Must have this woman with me in post apocalyptic world. Oh yes; we'll start a fire.

[Geschmack]

That battery method sounds terribly hazardous. Wouldn't try it.

Fire steel anyone?

Bow drill anyone?

[carefulcarpenter]

"Necessity is the mother of invention"

Eventually people will realize we are all in this together.

[cobra06608]

I stared at her boobs the whole 2 minutes.I replayed it the second time but after 10 seconds I was back to looking at her boobs.

[musicalglenn]

@cobra06608 kudos to your honesty dude

[spacepope69]

Lori, Thank You for providing us with helpful hints for the coming apocalypse, we certainly need to learn them, perhaps more quickly than we want to. (I noticed a mistake in your video, when you are telling us to rub a battery against steel wool you pictured a plastic sponge. Of course you probably didn't have any steel wool or Brillo/SOS pads around.) It's part of my purpose in life to notice mistakes and be pedantic about them, so don't be too insulted by this comment.

[ZiggyHungga]

There's gona be an apocalypse? News to me...

[IRisingFuryI]

Use batteries when you run out of matches? Something seems so terribly wrong with this logic...

[meateatereponymous]

If it's teh apocalypse why do I need to know how to make a fire?

I could just ask the bastards looting and burning my house for sum.

[Roeshamboe05]

If I run out of matches I'll just steal my neighbors problem solved.

[TrueMusou]

What about the porno? HOW WILL WE GET THE PORNO!?!!!!!!

[supercalifragable]

I dont know about this Lauren. I think this is better than how to make filtration system video though, so you probably redeemed yourself a little this time. Ps: I am still single.

[gittty]

wow. are you kidding? that wasn't even steel wool.

[canadianeh24]

thanks for the 'know-how' Lori! i'll be thinking of you with fond memories whilst among the rotting corpses of those who did not watch your instructional videos :)

[bizzee1]

Fire good!

[LalitaLilly]

Great tip, Lori. Thank you :)

[FrozenPetrolPie]

Pro tip: Band up with good people and fight of the cannibals.

[JockoBarbone]

I knew all that but you get a thumbs up anyway.

Will you ever talk about firearms? If so you MUST show us your skillz at the firing range.

You should really cover zombies as well.

Take care.

[shazame2002]

Okay Okay.. Your scaring me now lol..

[humancow2392]

I really like these survival vids. Keep em comin!

[Cstrife234]

Or...get some flint and a knife and strike it a couple of times. Or, rub a stick on another stick. Its not hard.

[StraightShooter01]

uhhh ... thanks for the tips ?!? hehe

[NsaneNtheNbrane]

I'm with pdu. Just arrange a pile of zombies head to toe and rub two zombies together to get the fire started. Use alcohol to stimulate the process if it still exists.

[JamesTCA]

"Fire! Fire! Fire!" -Beavis

[TheGiantRobot]

Dirty marauders? Oh, I get you, more Mexicans. Dang, those guys just don't let up.

Have you actually tried any of these tips?

[thedreamdealer]

BUT Will the FIRE Blend? And oh kids don't try this at home in your flammable PJs

[Pradiip79]

Strangely enough - as if you weren't hot before! - this made you even more foxy in my opinion!

Foxy pyro-expert :):)

[jjhendo]

I'm trying this...First chance I get!!

[pdutube]

No way. If I have chocolate after the End, I'm going to eat it. And then I'll need the toothpaste to clean my teeth. Zombies burn well if you stack 'em right.

[bikenik]

Are we going to become the Planet of the Apes?!?

[andreous7]

What to do about the marauding monkeys, they don't fear fire??? :-(

[timbosforporn]

Total bullshit. You can not smooth out the bottom of a can with chocolate.

[AveryBook]

@timbosforporn She didnt say smooth, she said it wears it away until its translucent.

[timbosforporn]

@AveryBook Someone will have to demonstrate that to me.

[verstwo2]

good to know!

[cvaguy]

Someone will burn the house down :)

[Shadizar666]

freakin white people

always the complicated way

a knife, two sticks, piece of dry bark and some string

[reverendbart]

Okay. The FIRST time she did an Apocalypse Survival segment was cute and funny. NOW it's a bit unnerving. Mostly 'cuz she can do it with that same endearing expression. "ARMAGEDDON! THIS week, let's talk about THAT!"...scary.

[ArtypNk]

By the time all matches and all the disposable lighters are gone, batteries will leak and will turn into hand burning acid bombs.

[LordeSloth]

@ArtypNk Then use the batteries first and ration the useful things in a safe place. Unless you want to set the apocalypse to some Pink Floyd music, then use the batteries for that.

[ArtypNk]

@LordeSloth

I shouldn't even worry about it. I would be so reckless I wouldn't even stockpile any medicine, so, 3 weeks in, that scratch I will get from roaming around: deadly infection. Pharmacy might still provide something, but not likely, seeing how everyone is looting.

[eddiea6987]

there should be an app for that

[wdp11683]

just get a flint rod fire steel starter striker. game over.

[nylawyer55]

Lori: first, your example of "steel wool" is not that... it is nylon intended to work like real steel wool; it does not conduct electricity and therefore, no fire, but your battery wil be nice and shiny! You need a Brillo pad or other real steel wool and then you are correct, it will light. Second, you are getting TOO THIN!!! Please eat a slice of pizza for us all to witness on your next video. Adoring fan, Rob

[Zazilium]

You liar, you fake! You used to be blonde! D: And it looked so fake! How dare you speak of american hypocrisy, when you represented one of the most american cliches, FAKE!

[Phylmyc]

I liked that.

Now someone feature TheResident already!

[Zazilium]

Hoe about you and i make fire?

[Raffi2006]

I think you're a little paranoid about this whole apocalypse shit. and what do we do after we run out of magnifying glasses, batteries, paper clips and all the other household items that you showed in the video? Do it caveman style?

[rcookman]

Ahhh ahhh we are all going to die!!!!!1111!!!1!!!1!

[CommentorX]

So we're supposed to have 9-volt batteries after we run out of matches?

/Somebody stocked up on the wrong thing when they were at Wal-mart.

[Shyaporn]

You might want to toss some sort of disclaimer annotation for people/minors not to try any of these things without supervision. Or at all.

[ViolentRiC]

BUT HOW TO KILL TEH ZOMBIESS?!

[wifiwaves]

I'm putting Lori in my Bug Out Bag...she's so hot she could start lots of fires.

[Blargaldalien]

Hello,Lori.

Sadly, the apocalypse, may be of nuclear origin, clouding the sky with the elements for a nuclear winter. no sun, and many of your solar powered ideas may be impossible.

On the plus side, death will be relatively soon, and you will not be cold, for long.

[teachtruth2U]

why mohamad RAPE his own aunt?

[ViolentRiC]

@teachtruth2U

HOW YOU LRN 2 TALK LIEK I DID?

[mariotaz]

If gaming has taught me anything(And it has) is that Crowbars are stupidly strong, handy and deadly. Combining herbs and inhaling it will refill my health and if I get shot by a bunch of apocalyptic scavengers, just take cover and my health will regenerate :D

Just gotta make sure to look out for those that B button to appear :D

[Gaus212]

Hi, Lori 1st that battery idea can be a lot more dangerous then most think.

2nd  The magnifying glass or concave reflective surface " The soda-can thingy AIN'T so hard so long as you are a member of the male gender of the human species who is a heterosexual teenager or preteen.Cause burning ants spiders & all bugs in general in the mentioned manner is ordained & a god-given right for such individuals:(

I know cause I was one of them once:-)

& now I protect animals go figure c'est la vie

Gaus

[farkdanarc]

i wonder how many ERs in the world are gonna have hordes of kids with thier hands burnt from exploding batteries....LOL.

[ImEuanAndIGotsSkeelz]

cool video and i will actuallly remember most of this so thanks, but its no worries for me really cuz i'll just be a dirty marauder :P

[alaskafido]

@ImEuanAndIGotsSkeelz The problem with being a dirty marauder, is that there has to be something to maraud. Survival is all about calories expended verses calories acquired. Moving around is work.

[ImEuanAndIGotsSkeelz]

@alaskafido unless i maraud someones fuel and jeep, ho ho, nah i'll prolly just maraud loads of drugs get fucked up and die cos i cba to go maraud people anymore

[TheHigherVoltage]

can't we just light our last cigarette off the muzzle flash of a Jesusfreak?

[MasterFallenHero]

<3 What would I do without you !

[capman911]

Lori one would think you are from the good ole south by using red neck words like aint. lol (JK)

[DarkDennis1961]

I know you are busy with real news and correspondence, Does RT still carry your work? I havent seen RT since I got back to the states 3 months ago. What I am getting at is this: are these apocalypse tips just for fun? or are you serious?

I like your work AND you are a cutie.

[marinex84]

Now I am ready to buuuurn!

[essssa2009]

I believe if I put my dick in ur ass u will light up

We can do this experiment if u want .

[iatemyhomework]

@essssa2009 Wow.

[kraftsportNO]

Ah, I'd just invite you over, I would need no fire because you are so hot. :)

[MrSuperestrella100]

your HOTTTTT!!!!!!

[Brulluhman]

Or fart and hit 2 stones to eachother.

[runtubefantasy]

girl, you are soo funny. you remind me of the late Brittany Murphy

[natedogs212]

I don't know if you are being serious or being fun

[KlaxonCow]

@natedogs212 She's being seriously funny and funnily serious.

Humour is not mutually exclusive with coping in harsh realities - it is, in fact, a prerequisite, lest one loses one's sanity.

Modern civilisation is built on a fragile infrastructure almost wholly dependent on fuels that we know are on their last legs.

As things currently stand, a catastrophic cascading collapse of civilisation is certainly one valid possibility for the future.

[InTheSticks1881]

@KlaxonCow Agree. Like the farting and smack two stones together idea best. I never seem to run out of gas... Without immediate strategies in the face overwhelming doom, the best medicine can be laughter. One can think of other means as well, yet laughter is more productive. Coping with seemingly insurmountable odds, however, is best attained by placing one foot in front of the other, occasionally giggling, and repeat as needed. Ridiculing MacGyver is for the less talented.

[natedogs212]

@KlaxonCow no s*** sherlock, that the collapse of civilization is a future possibility. All I was asking was, is she being serious or humoruous in this video. Not whether the possibiliy of future collapse of civilization was an issue.

[KlaxonCow]

@natedogs212 This is awkward.

Because, you see, I did perfectly well answer your question, but you appear to be completely oblivious to this fact and, well, I'm not really sure how to explain this to you, without seeming condescending.

You asked if she was being funny or serious.

In the very first sentence, I made clear that it was both. I then pointed out that there is no mutual exclusion between them. Concluding that there is a serious issue behind the joke.

It's called satire. Look it up.

[magichandpuppet]

I think you just lit my fire, baby!

[SenatorGrimshaw]

ohhh, city-dwellers...

[tomken8dy]

What kinds of rocks will produce sparks when struck a grazing blow from steel??

Besides flint. :)

[thejobloshow]

Cool tip! I know how to make awesome.

Step 1: Apply one subscription to The Resident.

Step 2: Watch regularly!

[clementckw]

haha "run out of matches or lighters" what about run out of batteries? :/

[KlaxonCow]

@clementckw In the next episode, Rez will hopefully cover making your own dynamo from scratch, so then you can make your own electricity when the batteries run out.

Actually, it's fairly easy to build one and seeing as a source of electricity would come in extremely handy in a post-apocalyptic world, I'm surprised the Rez hasn't covered this one yet.

(I mean, creating fire is a no-brainer with electricity - so she could have just covered that and not bothered with the last two lessons.)

[evilbot666]

When skynet takes over the world just wait till a t-800 fires his laser...

[baddogonline]

Impending? :O

[librano]

LoriGyver? This could be my favorite show!

[MidiPunk]

I would've enjoyed some demonstrational (is that a word?) burning of stuff.

[psp785]

I swear shes unknowingly doing this bits as a promotion or fallout new vegas

[southwindbreeze90]

Thanks

[InTheSticks1881]

With this Neo Survivalist thingy, it's an opportune time to poke a little fun at the doom and gloom crowd. Unfortunately the point is too subtle for some, especially for us caveman types seeking fire. Ridiculous to those with a Bic lighter, the self reliant spirit will one day visit as we gaze at the starving. While less than half the current population in the U.S., and mostly rural, yet 7 million starved to death during the Great Depression. Next time investigate the use of a ferro rod.

[560e]

@InTheSticks1881

Some people say we're in Great Depression II. After all, real unemployment is 16.5%, if you measure using the technique that they used in the 1930's.

What's lacking is the stock market crash, which hasn't happened because we're in a "bailout bubble".

[InTheSticks1881]

@560e Food Stamps and unemployment checks are the modern bread lines. Odd that the charts mimic those of the 30's, and even so, the 'bubble' in gold could suggest an inverted 'crash' as coin loses glitter. The bailout bubble is transparent to most , yet will burst as credit shrinks. Stocks may hold to the charts of Yore and crash, literally. Regardless, PM's will make their mark and show us where the gold is really at. The FED should shoot silver bullets, but are fortunately 'plum' out.

[560e]

@InTheSticks1881

The Fed is the cause of our problems.

The Fed is just a cartel of private banks however & is therefore a parasitic presence in our economy. It's neither federal nor a reserve. If you watch the recent documentary The Secret of Oz or read the book the Creature from Jekyll Island, you'll see.

Neither the Fed nor gold is the appropriate answer. The solution is for the US government to go back to printing its own currency, which it last did under Abraham Lincoln and to great effect.

[InTheSticks1881]

@560e There must be limits to the amount of currency issued. Gold, once a currency, was shaved and trust diminished. The ridges on our coins bear witness to that practice. Politicians and bankers remain the same animal, and the people will always look for 'free' money. A standard to retain the value of money will always be needed. If in place, the value of the currency can increase as it did during the Great Depression.

[43837388]

I'm usin fire power to get what I need.

[CousinoMacul]

It also helps if you know the difference between a scotch-brite pad and steel wool.

[edstar83]

@CousinoMacul lol

[zxcts]

What apocalypse ?

U mean the 21-12-2012 one ?ahah

[ecoloscabos]

there won´t be batteries in the apocalypse!! Who will make the batteries? They will eventually run out!

[tetsubo57]

If you really think that these skills are important to you, practice them. A lot. Because when you need them, you are not likely going to be working under ideal conditions. Being cold, hungry or possibly wet will impair your motor skills a great deal. Also look into fire starters that will store long term, strikers & fire pistons for example.

[PropheciesofWar]

if you use a regular convex/concave magnifying glass it will, as Lori said, take forever. But if you use Fresnel lens and a sunny day, you can get a fire started with in minutes. (Fresnel lens are those big magnifying glass that you see in office supply stores.)

[RAMKING61]

Another method:  Match

[hdzsound]

Venerable material, here with come.

[ST1RFRYTV]

It is great to know that one of the "originals" still makes great videos here on YouTube! Great job!

[tmacc]

COOL
