[oOAngelNitkuOo]

Bear Grills make fire with water...

[footballguy146]

yes because every one has cotton balls and chapstick when they get stranded in the wilderness

[akonze73]

Sorry, but this 'trainer' doesn't seem to have much experience. When you are out there, a sharp knife is one of the most important things. Therefore you never, I repeat NEVER, use the sharp edge of your blade on a fire steel. Using you knifes back works properly too and you blade stays sharp.

Joe rapes children...

[ovechkin100]

@SrBeardsly seriously ???? O_O

[swordsman181]

what a dumbass someone get bear grylls to corect this guy.

[QuantumProphet]

@swordsman181 Bear Grills is too expensive man, you have to pay hotels for him and his crew :p

[glassepinne]

Yup...

[SARDEAN10]

diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick headdddddddddddddd for one its called flint i know who wud know that it has another name utha then metal match and another thin dick head u dont light it with a knife ur gona use

[Moncantha]

yeah he is a dick, you use the spine of the knife.

[irich62]

this guy couldn't survive a weekend in a walmart stockroom I bet

[GreenMove100]

Again, Im not really impressed. Not any metal will make such a massive spark by being clicked against a knife.

Just spend $20 on a UST Blastmatch. One handed operation, and savage.

[survivalist911]

dont use the sharp part of the knife...it will screw the knife up...use the back

[macumuzahn]

Fool used the sharp side of his knife, how to ruin the edge.

The spine would have worked just as well.

[RemoSC49]

well hell! I forgot my chapstick

[yukariniro05]

will that flint eventually run out?

[tonyromo90]

wat did he strike with the knife and where can you get it

[QuietBearr]

That is a light my fire firesteel, you can get them anywhere that sells camping/outdoor/survival stuff.

There are a lot of types and brands, they are called Swedish firesteels, UST makes one called a blastmatch that is one handed use and has a built in striker.

THey are cheap, usually $5-$25.

[firedudejklef]

lol  i use a flint with a sharp knife

[ridingisasport]

I do wish Discovery would load these things over several days and not dump them on us all at once. Its almost enough to make me want to cancel my subscription.

[Squiggletoes]

i agree

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Think of all the people who never knew their lip balm could have saved them. Why did they bring it in the first place? Were they thinking "Well, I might be lost in the woods freezing and without food, but at least my lips can be nice and supple for when they find my skeleton in 28 years!"?

[wwscsoccer5]

how did he get the sparks i saw he did something with his knife and something else

[steveincairo]

The "something else" is a really soft iron, they call it a metal match. What the knife does is that it strips the metal match of some of its surface, and due to friction, the specks of the metal match that was removed become red hot, and as the sparks hit the cotton, or whatever, it starts a flame.

[wwscsoccer5]

thanks

[killeninicent]

its called magnesium. its a very flammable metal.

[d0md0mt0mt0m]

Magnesium is not very flammable lol. It burns hot but it's REALLY hard to light.

[killeninicent]

not really every time i have used a flint n steel the magnesium always lights i have never had a problem with it

[killeninicent]

he used a flint and when grinded with a knife it creates a spark and there is usually magnesium on the other side to help you lite the tinder

[QuietBearr]

All comments bellow are mostly correct but wrong, it is called a Ferrocerium rod or Ferri Rod also called (Auermetall).

It is not Magnesium, although they can sometimes have it in it, and it is not soft iron at all.

They are a combination of Iron, Cerium, and other heavy metals.

You can buy them in any store that sells outdoors material, commonly called a Swedish Firesteel, Light My Fire Firesteel, Blastmatch, etc.

[QuietBearr]

Iron: 19%

Cerium: 38%

Lanthanum: 22%

Neodymium: 4%

Praseodymium: 4%

Magnesium: 4%

[andgymason]

lol i learnt this on a kids show

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

Beat you guys to it!

[MagicMiura]

what happens if you don´t have the magic fire kit? oooooooh

[Glockenator]

fine steel wool and a nine volt.rub the 9 volt on the fine steel wool,blow lightly and you have a fire.the finer the wool,the easier it lights

[dukcaboose]

wow....i cant believe ppl who take survival courses...everything you need to know is on youtube

[jjkul1]

lawl

[pikelness22]

wow. so cool!

[Richardgwm]

Fire? Hmmmm. What can you use that for?

[dreampilot2]

Alot of things.

[2szymi]

i know! you can start it near a river so it will evaporate and you would be able to cross it dry :)

[Glockenator]

if you can do that,you send me a message showing it

[bestSVMS]

vasoline is good too

just get a lot of cotton balls and smear lots of vasoline on

and light with lighet

and it will burn for long long time

[n8iveidiot13]

for a second i thught you said gasoline lol

[bestSVMS]

that would work too

[ThaTyger]

mkay?

A spark stick (thing) is very useful, however cotton balls soaked in flammable liquid seems a little overdone. Yes it's easier, but if you're traveling light it's just extra stuff to think about (they don't like water I guess)

[TGFTH]

srry about spelling "use" "surround" "lighter"

[TGFTH]

just bring lighter b4 u go camp jesus how hard can that be? if this is about survivor then he should show us how to make fire without those fancy stuff....only use object sround him in the wild idk about knife and lip chaps and cotton balls...if u can pack those why not bring light with you?

[QuietBearr]

lighters do not work when wet, and the gas can run out eventually, that is why it is important to learn other methods.

[Burostoelpootwieltje]

Fail for him to use the sharpend edge of his knife.

If hes this pro he should know he can use the spine too...

[sohanlon10]

true that!

[aznboilol]

were did u get that striking stick thing?

[sohanlon10]

you can get one at many outdoor supply stores... it is called a flint stick

[aznboilol]

thanks man =D

[natz420]

if u can bring all those tools...all those kotton balls and knives n stuff...y not just bring a lighter? *rolls eyes*

[sohanlon10]

you should always bring a knife with you any way plus at least 2 ways to start a fire... a lighter is one option.

[gaaraman08]

heh nice

[Janskleig]
