Why did I come in here?

Everlasting Match

Ray Mears loves this sort of thing. On the left is the match, it replaces two boy scouts. Constructed from a small piece of wood, and two sections of hacksaw blade it will provide a spark under any conditions. Place tinder beneath it, stroke the removable section of blade over the fixed piece and very quickly you have a conflagration which would impress Samuel Pepys. Once used the removable blade is placed back in the small slot at the left hand end.

The demo is by Mrs Booty, if she can make it work anybody can. :-)
