Match Video

[anotherbob]

Working on it but not getting anything I am happy with. Might have to get someone with a better video recording set up to help me. But I have not forgot about it. And for those that have. It's about me showing how to use a match outdoors in the wind without any external wind breaks. It's all about how to cup the hands around the rim while also getting the match lit (which that's the trickiest part).

Hey anotherbob, yeah I was actually thinking of this the other day while going through my box of matches and not getting one lit one near the bowl!!!! I’ll happily wait for it, no panic! And thanks for the effort!

A ‘Video Tutorial’ on how to light a match?? Surely not!!
Faarking Hell, kids today don’t know nothing! Lol

Unless you’re completely useless, it really isn’t that difficult. With a quick deft of hand, after striking your match ‘cup’ both hands, holding the matchbox on top of ones pipe & light away.

If I’m on top of a mountain & it’s blowing a gale, I take off my Barbour jacket & place it over my head & do as above.

If you’ve only got one match left, then you’ll be forced to ‘split’ a match.
An old trick favoured by Scott & Shackleton, worked a treat on the plateau of the South Pole, after their tents had blown away in the fierce winds.

If you run out of matches you can always use this method but be careful of rim burn..

That method would only work with church wardens I think.
Man, where do you find all these videos? Lol

I have an extensive library. It all started at a very early age.......
