      @@KatherineUribe-1 to survive 24hrs, you need absolutely nothing. Anyone could do it. The point of that kind of challenge is to put your survival knowledge to practice. In one case we saw a guy making essential survival stuff while the other guy went full homeless mode. Although they both survived, you cannot judge their success solely by that fact. At the very least, you must admit one was thriving while the other one struggled a lot and was completely lost on what to do. The successful guy also had a dog, he could have rationed it out and stay there for 2 weeks at least

    Interesting to see Julius make use of modern materials and stuff but got to hand it to Dylan for the win. He got all 5 C's of survival in his shopping. He didn't have to walk as far, set up with natural cover in an area that had plenty of natural materials, and built a simple and practical shelter that was very time and energy efficient. Would love to see a repeat of this with no time limit on the shopping and in a different location to see how you've progressed and what you could do with more prep time!

    The electric fire starter shape you made was too wide. Gum wrappers are by far the easiest to use for this method, but any foil with paper or tinder you can place on it to burn should work. The science behind it is basically you are forcing the current through a fairly small choke point. Where it's wide enough, the heat generated is minimal and dispersed, but in the center of the hour glass shape, there is more current being forced through which causes more heat. The thinner the center of that shape is, the hotter it gets, but if it's too thin, it will simply burn away too fast to catch fire. All you needed to do was to slowly carve out the center of the hourglass shaped foil until it worked. You can feel it getting warm when you are getting close to thin enough.

    If you had no time limit, or a 20 minute limit to shop, I would bet that your choice of items would have been far better. At the very minimum, you would have obtained the 5 C's needed to survive. #1 = Cutting Device. A good knife is a must. #2 = Combustion Device. Matches, Lighter, Fero Rod and Steel, as you found out it's vital to have one. #3 = Cordage. For obvious reasons. #4 = Container. To boil water and store water. #5 = Cover. For your shelter or for your bed. Can be plastic bin bags, or it could be a blanket. Julius failed to get 3 of the 5! He needs to step up his game.

These numbers almost tripled due to a high influx of synthetic heroine in Ireland the last years.

    As this is an old video not sure if anyone reads this, but I tried the battery-tinfoil combo and it worked. However it wasn’t so easy as it looks, even at home in perfect circumstances, so here are my 2 cents. First is that it’s better to do the hourglass shape from 2 pieces in a way that you twist them together at the narrow ends (like you twist together 2 wire ends). This will give the thinnest part some strength, while it’s still thin enough to heat up. Second is that once you have your hourglass tinfoil you wrap some combustible material around the thin part, because if you just push it against something you’ll have some burn marks, but not fire. Third is that you push the 2 ends of the tinfoil to the battery terminals on an area as big as possible, otherwise the thinnest part will be the contact between the tinfoil and the terminal and it will burn your finger. So Julius is definitely right: practice makes perfect and this one needs some.

    Note on the battery fire lighting method. A bit of knowledge on materials science is needed in order to understand the physics behind what's going on...
    1) D, C, AA or AAA batteries are identical in output - the only difference being the longevity of them. D lasts the longest, AAA lasts the least.
    2) When a current passes through a metal (Aluminium [Al] in this case), there is resistance.
    3) How freely the electrons are able to move is determined by the resistance.
    4) There are 2 -basic- resistance variables - the material properties and the geometric properties, but we focus on Al.
    5) The more material a current can pass through (thicker/wider wire), the lower the resistance and temperature will be - the slimmer/narrower wire will generate more heat.
    6) Conclusion: At its narrowest point, the foil just wasn't narrow enough.
    7) Before typing this (had to be sure), I succeeded in burning a piece of cigarette foil in two with a single AAA battery, but no flame, only a short lived spark.
    8) So you need something very flammable like charcloth, birch bark scrapings, thistle or cotton wool to create an ember.

    You both have to agree on a far distance to travel by bicycle....it has to hurt and not be easy,so that it sucks as soon as it begins.(our distance was long and painful and mostly hills)
    When you get to the destination,you lock up the bikes and hike in.
    For the first night,you can only use what is in your pockets to survive in the woods.
    For the second night,you can use what is in your pack.
    After the second night, bike home......the first person to complain LOSES.
    Nobody will be allowed to complain about anything from start to finish.
    Remember that for the first night,you will need calories,and only have pockets.
    You will be tired and not thinking well and it might be as much of a disaster as ours was and as much fun.
    haha
    As the loser,I had to pay for a Sushi dinner at a nice place and it took a week for me to get caught complaining just for the record. LOL

      Pretty sure this one was one of those 9LED versions which doesn't have a parabolic reflector within in for solar ignition

    that chair you slept sitting in was a recliner. if you pull that wooded lever it'd have basically turned into a bed.

    The best dollar store challenge

  • @gayahithwen
    @gayahithwen 4 года назад

    Hey, if you want to try a variant on this challenge, take $10-20 and head to IKEA. I say $10-20 because I personally think the challenge would be more fun around the upper end of that, but depends on how hard you want to make it and how long you want to stay out in the wild? Also you'll probably need a little longer in the store, because those stores tend to be HUGE. Or, seeing as there's a global pandemic on, maybe just order online and pick up and start with just both sitting down and showing what you got? To me, the fun of it is in seeing whether the strategies you consider at home/in store will actually pan out for you, plus the money limit, rather than the time limit in the store. :-)
    There's a LOT of different strategies you could go for there - for example, those well-known huge blue IKEA bags made out of tarp cloth - could definitely see some potential there! Lots of potentially useful kitchen gear, textile/sewing, storage, tools, and some food items, too. Not a LOT of food stuff, though, nor a lot of fire starting gear. That's part of the challenge, I guess.
    This message not paid for by IKEA, just always been fascinated with their stores since I was a little kid. Also, last time I went was the same day I watched this video, and it just struck me as I wandered through that it would be a lot of fun to see you guys do this challenge but with IKEA. Especially since Julius kind of gave up on this one. So, yeah, if you want to prove that you really CAN do it, here's a chance. :-)

    For the gum wrapper, you HAVE to carefully take off the paper off and use the naked foil. Thats the only way itll work.

    • @SmoothGefixt

      Don't think you have to take the paper off, it's the paper that ignites

  • @kyleziggy3203
    @kyleziggy3203 6 лет назад

    Yeah, i was thinking last video that it was gum foil you were supposed to use because it's super thin like a fuse.
    Oh yeah, and wet the batteries and foil with your saliva or something. Just damp though

  • @davidlord5664
    @davidlord5664 6 лет назад +11

    The trick to the battery lighter is the tin foil strips are thin enough to carry a current easily. Learned that in jail. Made a jailhouse match from it. Lmao.

    Greetings from the US gentlemen! Love these videos so far. I know what I would do in my area and love seeing the small differences between here and there. Keep up the great work. Oh and what a fantastic companion Jager makes. What a very handsome and wonderfully well trained dog he is. Give him a little scratch behind the ears for me.

  • @frikkiesmit2695
    @frikkiesmit2695 4 года назад

    I honestly think those batteries didn't have enough amps to start a flame with the foil. They obviously have enough for the flashlight as leds dont pull lots of current. Thing is you never know how long those batteries were lying on the shelf. Nice video still.

  • @randomargument972
    @randomargument972 6 лет назад

    About starting fire with batteries, you need enough voltage and current passing through foil. 9v bats would do it easier.

    I've heard of the battery and gum wrapper trick, but the way I heard it, and it's supposed to be done with a 9 volt. A d through AAA carries only one and a half volts.
    This could be the whole problem.
    When in the shack check the smoke alarm for the 9 volt and under the kitchen sink for some steel wool. You get those two together and its on!
