(N.Morgan) This is one of the best instructional videos I’ve watched about how to start fires, in a survival situation. Fire is life, just like water is. The instruction are clear and simple, however these tips could be life saving.
I would have to go back, and look at my notes. I have a way using oil, and actually use dripping water on the fire to make it hotter…..this is why they say never put water on a grease fire.
That sounds right, Bronson. If you do go trough our notes, please post some on this post.
All input in vital now.

That last tip, about using a chunk of sodium, was some bad advice. No reasonable person would travel with chunks of sodium on their person. Way too dangerous. Contact with water presents serious risk of fire or severe burn. For pete’s sake, travel with matches or a lighter instead.
What you talking about Warren? I always keep some fist-sized lumps of sodium, potassium and rubidium in my trouser pockets for occasions just like these
in this day & age,, you’d be hard pressed not to find some plastic.. mankind was put on earth to make plastic.. we’re good at it an have lots around everwhere..
pee in a baggy can work in a pinch..
for drinking water .. dig a hole , set a container in the center .. cover hole with clear plastic ,, put small pebble in middle of plastic .. sun evaporates moisture in hole ,, raises up on plastic ,, dimple in plastic caused by pebble drips distilled water into container..
desert island… find on the beach at low tide,,, the highest high tide mark on the beach.. it’s very obvious line mark.. come back 6 inches an dig down .. that water is fresh to drink
Excellent video!
Gust so you know, he did not build that.
