      dumb ass.You almost always have a staple with you somewhere if you have anything at all.This guy is just showing you how you might save your life someday and you wanna be a jerk.Don't say it can't happen to you because it will happen to somebody and if you say that then you are a nobody

    • Yeh

      It happened to me. I was marooned on a desert island. The ship I was on had a cargo of staples and kives which eventually got washed up on shore. I spent three years looking for a battery.

    By tdwnarrows 1209088050
  • just wondering this...

    does it NEED to be a staple, or can it be other metal things that can bend, such as a paperclip, or possibly, even the part of the battery shell that you pulled off?

  • question

    can anybody post, what is the black material please?
    thx
    very cool trick

    By Forum918 1200937676
    • yea

      the black material is charred cloth... it is used cause it will light very easily and can be used to get a fire going in seconds. if you want to know how to make it, message me...

    • What about a brain transplant

      Ever heard of matches?

      By AlfonsoJackson 1259189556
  • Why not carry a spare generator

    What happend to good old fashioned rubbing two sticks. Don't need to carry anything then.

    By ADMWest 1200676649
  • missing something

    Battery, staple... and a knife! (and paper and tinder)
    Why do people always forget the tools you need and just state the comestibles?

    By boulderdash 1200561709
    • Because

      you don't need a knife to do this, it just helps. If you don't have tinder available, there's not going to be anything to burn.

      By Funditor 1200574981
    • What if

      You don't have a battery handy?

      By AlfonsoJackson 1259189607

  • and

    a knife

    By jake_da_mus 1200333990
    • Well...

      It's possible to do with just fingers and teeth, but that takes a lot longer.

  • You crazy fat .....U.S.C.
