A WIRE THONG & AMMUNITION PROPELLANT

An unusual modern technique which makes use of this flexible thong action can be employed in an emergency if you have access to ammunition and a length of fence wire. Cut open a shotgun cartridge, or carefully prise out a bullet head from its case and tip the propellant into one pile on some tinder.

| Take an 80cm length of wire and fit each end with a toggle handle.

|| Vigorously work the length of wire back and forth around a dry branch in a similar way to the previously mentioned thong techniques.

||| When it is smoking profusely and you are at the climax of your effort, immediately touch the hot part of the wire onto the propellant. It will burst into flame, lighting your tinder in the process. Be aware that the propellant will flare up a little when it is lit.
