Could you start a fire?

[movingex]

If you were stranded on a deserted island or someplace like that if all you had were rocks and trees and plants?

I seriously doubt that I could.

Watching the old Tom Hanks Cast Away movie. I know that's sad for a Friday night.

HELL NO lol I love that movie though
the next one on TNT is another great hanks movie
Road to Perditition

No worse than me! I'm sitting at home, in my Eeyore pajamas, with the dogs curled up next to me, watching HGTV! LOL!

To answer your question, is no, I don't think I could start a fire under those conditions.

Prolly not but you can start a fire with a microwave and a carrot.

You can start a fire with water.

I could. I could probably survive pretty well. Wouldn't be my first choice but I would rather be stranded on a tropical island than some remote part of Canada!

I just don't fly FedEx

I'm afraid in this day and age the great majority of our society would perish quite quickly.

In the Boy Scouts we called that girl scout water (lighter fluid).

This Eagle Scout needs at least one match.

I think I could get it done. I can promise you I would give it one heck of a try!

[SCone]

Only with a string & bow.

I watched that whole movie thinking I would die.

Girl scout water! lol! We used fire starters, not lighter fluid! lol.

Nope, no matches. In fact, you can start fire with ice.

Oh boy, I don't want to hear "Cast Away" ever again because I watched that movie MILLION of times. I am sick of that movie already. LOL I don't think I can do it to start a fire or talk myself for years like in that movie. I would go nuts. LOL

Yeah, but if youre on a deserted island - like you thought to pack the condoms and water balloons? That sounds like frat boys lost at sea. Packin the protection in case a hottie mermaid floats by...or bombing her with H20 balloons if they are freshmen.

Well, I would hope I had my glasses on me, for the whole seeing thing. And I could easily use them to assist in fire-making. Otherwise I'd be screwed, on more than one front.
