I live in Indiana and I just got home from Ransburg scout camp after completing the firecrafter rank. To earn Firecrafter, you must build a fire by friction using all natural matirials except the string for your bow. I not only popped a spark, but also started a fire using that spark, as well as 40 other canadits. I would like to see the mythbusters re-do this fire by friction myth, which isn’t really a myth. If you want someone to talk to, see Bobo or Sox (Justin Scott) at Ransburg scout reservation. They can pop a spark in under a minute. It really be awsome if mythbusters re-did this one. Thanks.

The plane in the photo shown in this episode was a training plane owned by The University of South Australia based at Parafield Airport
in Adelaide,South Australia.I don’t know how it happened but can confirm it was the result of a runaway plane, as I responded to this incident with the emergency services at the time.

I’ve used two sticks to start a fire when I was a scout leader. It’s much easier to do the method using a stick with some sort of cap on top of it like a wet piece of wood too shield your hand, a shoelace made into a bow using another stick looped once around the fire starting stick, then a flat dry piece of wood with a notch in it and some dry bark or even hair. It took about 5 minutes to get a decent spark but it works. The 2 sticks method took just to damn long and wasted a lot of energy.

I heard that you can make a bomb by lighting a fire at the base of some GROWING bamboo, the air pockets inside heat up the explode.

My chemistry teacher had a 9 volt battery in his lab coat pocket one day while he was demonstrating an activity using steel wool. He unintentionally put the steel wool into the pocket where the battery was and caused the pocket to become inflamed.
