Survival Skills

The link below shows how to start a fire with a can of coke and a chocolate bar. Your first thought on how this would work might be:

Go up to someone and say: “I’ll give you a can of coke and a chocolate bar if you …”

But their approach is much more interesting.

i’m definitely going to have to be pretty darn desperate to sacrifice my soda and chocolate!

I am going to have to try this one next time I go camping.

Interesting! But it provides even more incentive to keep an extra book of emergency matches in a plastic baggie.

Heh. Wasn’t that the solution to “How do you figure out the height of a building using a barometer?” Tell the building manager “I’ll give you this nice barometer if you tell me how big your building is.”

I’ll have to give this a try once it gets a little less cold and windy outside.
