In an emergency, the ability to create fire can mean the difference between survival and suffering. Not only does fire offer warmth and comfort, but plenty of other benefits, like the ability to cook food, boil water, etc. But even when everything’s going right, there are times when we may need to make a fire, but have no access to the usual tools and conveniences. How do you make a fire when there are no matches, lighters or the other usual methods available?
It turns out, that you can use water to help! Fire and water are not mortal enemies after all. Grant Thompson, YouTube’s ‘King of Random’ put together a video to demonstrate 5 ways to start a fire using water.
Of course, it’s impossible to predict what kind of situation you may encounter when it would be handy to build a fire with limited resources and it’s also impossible to predict what things you might have handy at the time, but this short how-to clip should plant an important ‘survival seed’ to help you find creative and effective solutions! Check out Grant’s video after the break:
Or drill a small hole in the base use a syringe to fill with gas and you have a fire bomb
Gosh, I feel like it’s 60 years ago, and I’m in our old living room with “Watch Mr. Wizzard” on TV. But isn’t there something with the potential to be even more destructive that you could tell me and the other idiots out here how to do?
those are all the same exact way’s to start a fire using water. Water is the key element. it should say, 5 different tool’s used with water to start a fire, not 5 different ways to start a fire using water. You can only use water 2 ways to start a fire. Either by chemical reaction, or through magnification.
1 way to start a fire using water…1 way to start a fire with the help of water…lame.
nice thing to be on FB now all the kids on here know to burn the house down good work FB .we can’t see $#%&!@* but we can learn how to make fire bombs
Try one oz of water, a working light bulb, and a syringe. Guess what? House fire.
LOL William Ferguon.
I’ll tell you why Glenn, I am betting you are a Liberal! When the world becomes bankrupt and the apocolypse nears.. YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW THIS STUFF!
Knowledge is power
How many of these road side fires are caused by the sun shineing through a broken bottle>? A lot. two things I always carey in my saddle bags. A little steel wool and a 9V smoke alarm battery Just fuzz a little steel wool out and short both posts of the 9 V batt. out in it. It will immediatly turn red hot igniting what ever you use for tinder.
