some fun today(pics)

So a while ago I decided to see just how well fatwood works if it's wet(I've never used it before)
So I soaked a piece of fatwood, I had actually put the piece in about 4 hours prior to this picture,




and I used a few knives to make shavings,


the mora worked pretty well,


the Gossman PSK Jr even better,


know, the DM worked the best for shavings...but the picture dissapeared...sorry
using the Gossman 4" ferro rod and wharny striker


after the first good strike(3 total)


so the verdict is, fatwood is amazing!! I love this stuff! It smells pretty good while burning too

That's great, thanks for the reassurance.

WOW!!! I gotta go find some fatwood! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

It is to bad I am WAY to far north for fatwood. great little test and I especially like the watch so you can see the time pass. That is a nice little watch and PSK.

You know what would b a great little personal survival kit knife? a Swarden.<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I don't know whats going on with the container and watch, but I see fire water and fire so I'd say something you did was succesfful and I havent said werlcome yet, so welcome to the yard!

Yeah welcome!! Where do you find Fatwood

I will have to go over to WalMart to see if they have some. I still have plenty, so no big hurry, lol

It's with the fireplace stuff. I dunno why they don't also keep some with the camping stuff.

Thanks Andy.
