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:
I cant believe how worked up people are getting about this video. Its actually laughable. You ppl that are worried about our kids getting a hold of this…UUMMM HELLO!!! If your kid gets a passing grade in science, they already know how to do this. Doesnt anyone ever remember burning ants with a mangnifying glass?? You ppl are all idiots!! Either that or you dont have kids…or your kids are zombies sitting in front of a television all day and dont ever see the sun. Get a life people!
I mean I learned this even before fifth grade science. If you ppl think this is a new idea…you are dumb and probably should go back to school. LMFAO!!!

“Really? yall are so worried about kids learning how to make fire? Your emasculating our youth. While yall are scared of our kids making fire, other countries children are stripping down ak 47s learning to kill us. Any kid with half a brain can use a lighter to greater effect than any of these projects, i know i teach a wilderness survival class. You people make me sick so concerned with keeping everything so pc now your scared of children trying to kill you with a makeshift magnifying glass. How about this, BE A BETTER PARENT BE MORE ACTIVE IN UR KIDS LIFE AND MAYBE YOULL KNOW WHAT HES DOING”
