Watching all these fails on primitive fire making gives one the motivation to figure out how to do it right.


Are we talking about people making fire using primitive tools or primitive people making fire with sophisticated tools such as stainless Tool Steel knifes etc... wink

I'm always surprised by these 'vicarious thrill survival shows' how often the actor er I mean survival specialist will carry a heat treated Stainless Tool Steel knife, Goretex shell clothing and Ferrocerium rod, but will forget his map and compass, his lighter, his Titanium Pot, his ultra lightweight Gas Cartridge Stove and his Synthetic hollow fibre sleeping bag and Goretex Bivi etc. They also seem to jump into freezing rivers and water courses quite a lot for no apparent reasoning, but still be remarkably proficient at hunting wild game but throwing wooden sticks at them.

These entertainment shows also seem to continually send the message that the wilderness is not for the urban and city species know as Homo Urbanus, where Ursus americanus will surely dine on apon them like a KFC or McDs happy meal.



Vicious creatures such as shown above are far more deadly in North America than Ursus americanus and Ursus arctos combined.
