@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 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!

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.

@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.

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.

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.
