more like gold plated lead but still gold on the outside. These safety tips always get a lot of different opinions and it's always fun some think I'm complete dumdass that's spreading bad advice, and most agree and the rest just don't give a shit lol
It's cheap and they work extremely well and when you need something like this you will oh so wish you had it so if not these, I would recommend something similar.
I love these for the fire pit, camp fire starter and emergency prep! Fits so easily in a PFD, too! Great video, Brother! 💪🔥🔥🤘🛶 What other gear is in your bag?
that sounds great my luck the whole forest would burn then be interesting explaining to the courts what I was trying to do that would all be like wait what lol?
I have one of those magnesium ones also those work great and what made me start thinking of this I have a buddy that got stuck on the river once and had to stay the night alone and he said he almost went into hypothermia thought he was going to die it was so cold and he had no way or drying off and everything was wet around him and he said you never know how much you need a fire till that happens to you so it's always a good idea to have something that would start a fire especial if on a remote run with long hikes out.
@@WadeHarrison yep, stream as in stream of water not online stream lol at the beginning of the video i was expecting a regular wet environment but by the time you lit that on the water i was mind blown lol
I'm sorry Wade, but it doesn't matter how pretty you think fire is, or how much you want to see flames. No matter how good your gear is, your never going to be able to burn that river down. You're going to have to go to China to find a river that is dirty enough to burn to the ground. I take that back. There might be one or two in Mexico that is polluted enough to burn down. But seriously, great review, yet again! I'm sure that there will be plenty of viewers who will find this information helpful. That dry bag of yours is what ya call "a little bag of preparedness." If something happens and you get stuck away from civilization (broken hind paw, broken equipment, etc, being able to start a fire and keep warm and dry is your first step toward survival. Folks should be as reluctant to leave without it as they are to get on the water without a PFD or to get on whitewater without a throw bag. It's one of those things which you might never use, but which also could be the difference between life and death. For the price, it's pretty good life insurance.
Crazy you should mention burning the river do you know about the river in Ohio called the Cuyahoga River? that River caught on fire and burned? I have gone up and kayaked on the whitewater section before it's got a nice bit of whitewater. check these links here it's crazy can image wake up look out you window and the water is on fire! I'm going to have one of the paddlers from there come on the podcast and we will talk about this I went up there for a kayak race once and seen all the history of the days the river burned? www.smithsonianmag.com/history/cuyahoga-river-caught-fire-least-dozen-times-no-one-cared-until-1969-180972444/ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XvrAd0bM_7I.html
@@WadeHarrison Very interesting. There was another river in Chicago back in the 1800's which was so polluted that it was vastly more pollutants than water. During Chicago's great fire it quite literally burned to the ground and hasn't been seen since. Early in the city's history there had been a real river that had gone through there, but most of the water got diverted for drinking water and other things, and that volume was replaced by all kinds of horrors, including blood and other liquid or semi-liquid waste products for Chicago's stockyards back in the day. It also served as a city dump of sorts. The stench must have been unbearable... an of the charts cringe factor. Since there was no water running through it after the fire, they just filled it in. To date, it is the only river known to have burned to the ground. LOL Others have caught fire, but after they burn the fuel source off of the surfice, they've got water and heavier than water stuff left. I wish we could post pictures here, because if we could, I'd put a photo of the pre-fire river. It''s a black and white photograph, but all you have to do is look at it and the smell comes raging through the ages in full-on nose wrenching gut churning Technistench (the olfactory version of Technicolor). Birds were also seen to drop dead in mid-flight as they passed over it. They supposedly weren't even twitching when they hit the "water" (I use the word advisedly). One man who said he'd seen it, reported that the birds dropped as if they'd been shot. I'm not quite sure how the photographer managed to get the picture. In those days cameras were huge box shaped affairs. You had to slide a specially treated glass plate into the box, then take a cap off the lens and wait for a few minutes. I hope that he not only survived, but was also handsomely compensated. I'll really be looking forward to the podcast you'll be doing about the Cuyahoga. That should be a really fascinating one. I read in one of the articles you linked that there a core sample of the river bottom showed levels of toxic sludge were still unacceptably high. I'm glad that slowly, but surely things are getting better though. There are some things down there, such as mercury, which will be down there forever though. Nature's ability to heal herself does have its limits, and fortunately or unfortunately we seam to be the one thing that which can mess it up permanently. I guess we're also the one thing which can unmess it too.
