Title: Making Fire from Ice.....
Post by: Uncle Russ on May 08, 2014, 02:14:47 PM

I found this very interesting!
Never heard of it before. In fact, I would have never thought of it either, that is before seeing this...

It could be a powerful tool in an Emergency!
What do you think?

Now that's something else!  It never crossed my mind that you could do that.  Of course it could also be another you-tube hokus pokus.

Old hat here. I used to teach Boy Scouts how to do that. And yes, it's harder than it looks. Ya gotta have really good, clear ice.

Figgered as much...plus, the outside temp has to be  just right so that it is dripping melt...good luck trying to do that at 15 deg F...
