Default Survival Kits

I saw a show the other night where a guy started a fire using 2 "D"
cell batteries and some fine steel wool (about 8" worth). You should
be able to do the same with any battery system.

As always, YMMV.


A 9-volt battery works well for this and obviously can ignite a smaller
clump of steel wool. As Nate mentioned, the steel wool should be fine. Steel
wool burns quite hot, so be careful if you play, er, test this.
