This is a good way to learn how to do this for the first time. Use premanufactured items. After you've mastered the technique, you can make all your components from nature. This is called learning...
I don;t think the idea was to use a common lighter, but to reflect how common materials can be used to make fire. Give the dude a break. he has just showed you how to use a bow from a close hanger, nylon string and junk crap home stuff from Ikea to save your bacon one day.
Lighters are not the save all and malfunction or stop working all day long. What will U do when the old trusty Bic stops working? Call Survivor man? Better rub that little pecker with some cotton balls soaked in vasoline.
Excellent, going to try similar. One day doing this will be more a priority to buying cheap stuff. Where's part two where you put all their furniture on ?
This was great. I'm currently filming a short apocalyptic film call The 'Skirts and I'd like to show the characters making fire from found items. You sir, have inspired me. Hehe.
When the zombies attack us, we won't care that we are using our furniture. Think about it. Would you rather stay warm and alive, or would you rather cling onto your purchased goods?
brilliant... but it took seven minutes and about $15 to prove a point to ikea, the proper survivalist in today's society would get a free pack of matches from a gas station and tell ikea to go fuck themselves and save the money for nonperishable food.
that is a great idea using the hanger, then you can just hang a bag around it with the rest of your materials and put it in the closet. fantastic. My new project.
If I ever find myself in the wilds, without vegetation and asphalt as far as I can see and only my trusty IKEA wares at my disposal I know exactly what to do...
@bu83 This method is the most used way to create fire in the wilderness I believe. But in the wilderness you use sticks and roots instead of IKEA-stuff
@bu83 I've read on many occasions that this is the best method to create fire in the wilderness when you don't have matches, flint etc, and just need to use materials from the wilderness. The method is called "bågdrillning" in swedish, which directly translated to english would be "bowdrilling".
is there an ikea on a deserted island like CAST AWAY??? if so gimme the address so next time i get stranded i can go there nd get all these products. xD
@vizigr0u LoL, in the United States (especially in New York this kid would get locked up for the possession of cold weapon (knife), making a fire on the street - ~$150 summons + legal fees for both cases, littering on the street $300 summons, so it is a real bargain!

VERY creative!! I love it. Now... to make a distiller out of more Ikea products in order to have some water, and a fermenter to take those hideous lingonberries they sell and turn it into a nice alcoholic drink :P
nahhhhh, but more like use the hanger to hang clothes, use the rack for whatever the rack was supposed to use for, and use the napkins to... stop the blooding... LOL poor guy cut himself making this video. dun get me wrong tho, i like this video, just felt like DANG! THATS A LOT OF STUFF to replace a lighter.
Come to think about it, it's not too unrealistic to be stuck in a house without matches, lighters or any other fire starter. Grab a knife, a hanger, some rope and save the day.

If you think the end-goal is just to make a fire, you don't get the idea behind the video. This shows the creativity to use stuff for tasks it was never designed to do. It's the challenge not the end product. Then again most people in the US these days are spoiled, ignorant little brats who want the easiest way and for someone else to do the thinking for them.
lmao i seen this on wimp.com and had to get on youtube to comment... so you wasted all that money on these nice items to brun them.. thas 1 and 2 with all that money you could of just got a lighterr or book of matches lmao.. man epic fail... yea like ikea is gonna be were ever you would be lost lol " ahh shit no fire and we lost,, just go down the stream make a left on the 1st oak tree straight down to the rocks 6 trees later make a right another right by the owl and u should see ikea there"
