very interesting watch. They do make a good program that lot.

Did you see how quickly the old bird got her ember on the charcloth with the flint and steel! I like the flint and steel, but I have a habit of catching my knuckles / fingers. Very amusing if you're watching, not so much if it's one of your digits...
