Potassium permanganate - you can get it at Lowes
Glycerin - at most grococery stores
I'd rather carry a firesteel, vasilene / cotton balls, and neosporin...
Fun show to watch, :) and not all fake like Bear Gryls. ::)

I'm so confused. ???
-
Ping-pong balls filled with potassium permanganate and then injected with ethylene glycol (active ingredient in antifreeze) are a technique used for aerial ignition of prescribed fires.

So what does the pretty young lady have to do with ping pong balls?

this might help some of you lost souls ;)

OMG, there are, like, a gazillion jokes in that one statement!!!
Besides, why does a picture of a "pretty young lady" have to have a reason? ? ? ? ? ;)

I saw this pretty young lady at a joint on Victory Drive in Columbus, Ga. once and she could.............. er, yeah. :o

I thought you guys would be fans of the show. I REALLY don't see where they fake anything like the other "Survival" shows.
While he's experienced, she's new and learning. Not afraid to snap out orders for him though. And super eager to learn! Which is where the funny part comes from. ;)
They were using the two chemicals to make fire, and mentioned their other uses (anti-fungal cream, soap). While the potassium will cure trench foot. If I remember right it quickly turns your skin dark orange for a LONG time as soon as you touch it...
Maybe better to just carry a couple packets of regular foot powder instead. :-\
Multi-purpose stuff is always a plus though!

;D ;D My first thought for a comment was What does the picture of a pretty young lady had to do with anything but quickly it didn't need any justification outside of it's existence so I changed it.
And thought adding the ping pong balls would stimulate everyone's imagination ;D ;D

I almost regret even bringing up ping-pong balls. I was letting my inner pyro come out, but ya'll skipped that and went straight to inner perv. ;D
Pegleg, I've driven down Victory Drive a few times; there's no telling what you can find there.

Have only seen the show a few times and liked it. My wife vows she would never eat that stuff, she really has no concept of true hunger and survival. I keep telling her that you would be really surprised what you would be willing to eat after days without food. The eggs with developed birds in them did look a little rough though.

I watch the show every time I go by it. They've got a film crew and I saw one on Alaska where they got their asses kicked and just had to tap out, but they go at it like their lives depend on it. Plus, she is HOT. Beats watching some dude hacking away at tree branches. She has s really nice smile. Me Likey!

Not sure about the inner Perv part...But when I was on the road with my friends Heavy Metal Rock Band we had a very good friend that we nicknamed "Uncle Pervy." I won't get into the details of how he came to earn that monicker but suffice it to say that it was an accurate description. :o

The Philippine Islands natives call this balut pronounced: bah lute. They think it's a real delicacy and enjoy them as often as possible. While I was able to eat and enjoy the thousand-year-old eggs, balut was too much for me. Then, I've never been without food for more than a couple of days at a time. Would likely change my mind.

I think they cleaned up the place a few years ago and closed most of the strip joints. Been nearly 20 years since I last toured the strip.
As to the TV show, I've wanted to watch it, but have not found the time......will look into it.
