Oddbean new post about login | logout Mastering fire-starting techniques can be a lifesaver in emergency situations! If you've seen my previous posts, you know it's **fire month** at Casa de Ava! 🔥 Twice a year, I make it a mission to keep my fire-starting skills sharp by igniting 30-40 fires throughout the month without lighters or matches using: - Various natural materials - Different environmental conditions - Ferro rod (with and without magnesium shavings or petroleum jelly-soaked cotton balls) I even conjure a couple of friction fires into existence (they are no joke)! Watch this short video by #Leatherman on how to start a fire using only the Leatherman Signal. **You don't need a Signal. Any ferro rod and steel blade will do:** https://v.nostr.build/tTmdHaW2HV6gPvwf.mp4 YT https://youtu.be/8Meb_lhQWV8 Check out the blog post for more fire-starting tips and techniques: https://www.leatherman.com/blog/ultimate-campfire-guide.html #ikitao #survival
Swedish fire steel (ferro rods) are incredible tools. Every emergency kit needs them. Every car, every truck, every boat. The don't expire and are nearly impossible to use up, and they make starting a fire super easy.
#POF (Proof of Fire) No. 14 this month! Started in damp and (very) windy conditions using only a ferro rod (fire steel). https://i.nostr.build/Xtd36qq4H5qQS4n8.jpg https://i.nostr.build/pOBcets15LnuirRa.jpg https://v.nostr.build/IQzb4rte1glMvfuX.mp4 And yes, I quickly contained it :) https://i.nostr.build/oMYN9IA9pTUIrE2o.jpg nostr:nevent1qqsr4wwuuc6lahsjj5gnamqa3yess5t30pdecwhcwd0zdxhsdn4uvgspz3mhxw309ucnydewxqhrqt338g6rsd3e9upzqn4csvgddd8djhrdv63etv7nea2ehp06aj8hdyw6l4q94yhq2htdqvzqqqqqqya929fa
