A Hammer can start a fire! 🔥

This is why I keep an anvil in my bug-out bag

A stick can start a fire and a rock can start a fire......now.....which ones are you going to find in the woods in the middle of no where?

Got my firestarter kit for camping

Good thing I just happened to have an anvil and a 5 lb hammer in my kitchen also! 😆

What kind of metal?

It can smash your fingers off too he is crazy

Anything that you produces a spark can start a fire.

Friction can start to get really hot. If you bend the crystal structure of metal by force, you get heat. And the tighter the structure, the more heat is involved. And it's better than wood. Since it doesn't retain moisture past iron oxidation.

That anvil cannot be replaced. He is lighting a forge.

Certainly explains the 2:00AM 911 call I made from the Toolshed last night.

It only works if you have an anvil.

Mind blowing.

@grok what kind of metal rod did he pound to turn red hot?

I miss forging

Friction = Heat

In an emergency friction can save your life. The friction from a cordless drill, or even rope, shoe laces, wire, sticks, etc.. can start a fire.

WOW..

Reminded me of this.

I learned this on my wedding night. Ladies, please shave, before sex.
