| Steel wool and a 9 volt battery... which you could've found out here: http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/sur...al-gear-3.html (Various Survival Gear), but you just asked the question again there instead of reading the thread and finding the answers from a bunch of us to that question already.

| There are many innovative ways to start fire,but the best fire helper I found are pine-knots.My Father would have us kids chop them out of the pine slash,"leftover wood from logs going to mill",and take them home,for fire starters with the woodstove. |

*beats blaze970 over the head repeatedly with a large piece of wood until it snaps* Now that you've been beaten with the CLUE-by-Four, maybe you'll listen and read... The link I posted for you above which I'll post again: http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/sur...ival-gear.html (Various Survival Gear) has not only explanation from me about it, but an account of a gent *cough-AH-cough* on here that decided to use a large amount and a car battery... I wonder if his eyebrows and mustache have grown back in? The great part about steel wool and batteries is that they can be soaking wet and will still work. Please take the time to read threads that people link to if they take the time to respond to your question. It's rather frustrating when you ask a question that you know is answered in the link you posted for the person.

| When I was in the Navy, we would take a single strand of very coarse steel wool and stretch it across the 9V terminals (this battery is the lantern size) and the steel wool would turn red hot. Use to light our cigs that way!! |

Blog Entries: 6 | You can also light fine steel wool with one of those boy scout sparkers, or flint and steel, But be careful, once you get a whole roll going it wont stop!
