RE: The Island with BG
HAHA, just watched that! 12 hours to start a fire in those conditions with those supplies....not likely. There are 12 hours of sun in a day, according to what he said. My experiences with the South Pacific would probably say that was pretty accurate. Numerically that doesn't work though. They tried a little in the night, then again in the day, probably around late morning to early afternoon. So from a start to finish, it might have been 12 hours time, but as a constant 12 hours of effort.....no chance!
As for their route of what to do...oops.
Personally I go with the Native American view, which has always seemed to make the most sense: Shelter, Water, Fire, Food.
With that order, water and fire are VERY closely linked. Fire is used to purify the water, but you need water in the first place before you can have a fire. Can't do it the other way round. Your shortest walk might be 12 miles from water to fire, if you start the fire first. So that's why, for these 2 elements, it's water first and fire second.
Tarrel, I would tend to agree about use of a battery. However, I think I'd rather just learn to use a bowdrill properly before hand haha.
