This guy may look good on camera but the whole show was so contrived that I couldn't wait till it was over to see what the members of this forum would say. I just got lucky in being the first to post, anyone who has spent even ten minutes reading this forum would have caught most if not all of his mistakes. As someone who has made a fire by friction and knows how hard it is I was really bothered by the fact that he obviously had help getting that fire going. He was using a hand drill (not a bow and drill) just a hand drill and when they showed a closeup just as he got fire he had a pile of embers bigger than my webber grill could hold (thinly veiled sarcasam)
I think we can all feel pretty good knowing that we are all better prepared than this so called expert.
