Thanks Billy! If I ever end up stranded, in the winter with no way to make fire, I now have the idea that fire could theoretically be made.

Nice. I like learning all the alternative ways of making fire, but I figure as long as I'm in North America, I'll always have some way to produce a flame. If I'm out hiking, I always carry several firestarters with me. The magnesium bar is lightweight and cheap. A condom works too. If stranded out with my car, there's always the cigarette lighter, flares, or the battery. If in a plane crash, I'm sure I can find stuff in luggage, or pull a pair of eyeglasses off someone. Or use some part of the aircraft electrical system to produce flame. The only scenario where I might need an alternative would be if someone purposefully left me out in the wilderness to die, or if I was escaping from a Taliban stronghold. In those cases, I might not want to create a flame to alert the bad guys to my position. Maybe a shipwreck, but I seldom go out for more than a 3 hour tour....A THREE HOUR TOUR! On some of the surival boards, there are arguments over the guys who stockpile strike anywhere matches vs using alternative methods. In short, I think it's great to know, but fo survival, I want to get my fire going quickly and work on security, shelter, food and safe drinking water procurement.
