SURVIVOR SHOW Contestants Can’t Start A Fire. Yet Ignitable Fuel Is All Around Them! That SURVIVOR show has been around a long time – since 31 May 2000.

I’m not a fan of the SURVIVOR Show. It’s no doubt an entertaining show, but in my humble opinion, it’s not Real Survival. I watched the very first year it was on and ‘accidently’ a few bits here and there over the years.

One thing I observed, those SURVIVOR Show contestants couldn’t start a fire using those pre-historic methods (bow n’ drill, spin drill and fire trough). But the additional tinder they needed was all around them all the time, yet they didn’t use it because they weren’t smart IRISAP subscribers like YOU!!!!!!

If you wisely purchased any of my Survival Programs, you already know that:     I DO NOT TEACH AND NEVER WILL TEACH THE PRE-HISTORIC FIRE-STARTING METHODS. Why?

Because they are TOO DIFFICULT to get to work and even those that do know how to employ them, they will NEVER NEVER NEVER, one more time, NEVER WORK if you’re truly hypothermic in a cold weather environment. Meaning your hands and fingers will not work because they’ve lost their fine minute feeling and dexterity because of freezing temperatures. Buttoning up your coat or pulling up a zipper is a major task. Then how can you rub two sticks together for an emergency warming fire? You’re not.

However, in warmer temperatures, employing those pre-historic methods (bow n’ drill, spin drill and fire trough) are still very difficult but employable when using an additional tinder.

Anyway, the additional tinder they needed was all around them. The super ignitable tinder was their clothes. Specifically, their cotton clothing. The super fine fibers from their cotton clothing.

All they simply had to do was take the blade of their machete or the blade of their knife – even a dull blade and slowly scrape it back & forth against the stretched-out cotton clothing and collect the super fine cotton fibers that are ignitable to even a single spark.

And I demonstrated this in my fire-starting videos. Just keep scraping the blade back & forth against the stretched-out cotton clothing and periodically collect the cotton fibers off the blade itself and off the cotton clothing itself till you have several cotton balls of cotton. The cotton clothing can still be worn and used to collect more cotton tinder.

And ‘fluffed-up’ cotton is very ignitable to even a single spark as I demonstrated in my own basic fire-starting videos. The method I just talked about is at the Boy Scout level of emergency fire-starting. I have Advanced and Ultra-Advanced Emergency Fire-Starting in my Survival Program annotated below.
