How long would it take and what would be involved in getting your car back in service after this? Would there be any damage?
Reminds me my wife and I were watching Survivor while the contestants were struggling to start a fire with a flint and coconut husk shavings. Wife said she bet I could do a lot better than them as many fires as we use for heat, etc. Told her yeah, via my normal method with a bath sheet size towel soaked in a half gallon of diesel and a long nose lighter I could kick their butts without breaking a sweat.To Build a Fire:
1. Split dead limb into fragments and shave one fragment into slivers.
2. Bandage left thumb.
3. Chop other fragments into smaller fragments.
4. Bandage left foot.
5. Make structure of slivers (include those embedded in hand.)
6. Light Match
7. Light Match
8. Repeat "a Scout is cheerful" and light match.
9. Apply match to slivers, add wood fragments, and blow gently into base of fire.
10. Apply burn ointment to nose.
11. When fire is burning, collect more wood.
12. Upon discovering that fire has gone out while out searching for
more wood, soak wood from can labeled "kerosene."
13. Treat face and arms for second-degree burns.
14. Re-label can to read "gasoline."
15. When fire is burning well, add all remaining firewood.
16. When thunder storm has passed, repeat steps.
