Nice, always enjoy watching his video.

I like the idea of bundle of 3, and it looks quite flammable. I wonder if the magnesium powder were place directly over the nest, will the spark be able to just lit the bundle. Heck, maybe even without the magnesium powder, the bundle would have catch on fire with just the spark.

But nonetheless, good demo with new twist on plastic shaving and fuel/tinder in one.

I've heard a fair amount of criticism of Mr C, but there is a lot to be learned by watching his stuff IMHO. (you could say it of many/most of these 'survival experts')
he may not be perfect (apart from yours truly,

), who is?
