First off you will need
- A Fire Starter Kit
- Shoes
- Hammer and Flathead Screwdriver/Chisel
- Drill
The shoes
This is what the Fire Starter Kit I got looks like
That big block is Magnesium so yea....
Take the screwdriver and put it where the black meets the silver part, and give it a solid hit
The Black Part is what you want
Put the screwdriver on it and break it into four pieces...it breaks pretty clean
Now make a hole wherever you want...I had to do it the ghetto way
In all its glory...
tEh pics...
Looking down at my feet
-Tips-
- Leave about 1/4 to 1/2 of it sticking out, too much and it will break or fall out
- Try to avoid placing it in the middle of your shoe, as it will make walking akward
- Obviously you want to make the hole smaller than the flint, as tight as possible while still being able to fit it in there
- Lighter flints would be the same principle but aren’t as sturdy and won’t last as long
- You can easily take theses out anytime with a set of pliers
Oh and...heres a video I made
Fire Fly

They have four of the flints on a strip of plastic, and ment for the back of a skateboard, good idea though, great idea actually. |

 | Aug 19, 2007 5:37 am - 5*, but would you get a firestarter kit in like an outdoors/camping shop? |

 | Aug 19, 2007 5:40 am - Still, it makes you look like a complete twat kicking the ground. |

 | Aug 19, 2007 8:33 am - kiiirby you don’t have to kick the ground, just scrape it if you want. I was just prvoing the worked and so everyone could see it
and yes the Fire Starter should be at most camping shops, but I got mine at wal-mart
