guys for this video I want to show you a cool trick you could do with safety
cool trick you could do with safety
cool trick you could do with safety matches now safety matches are different
matches now safety matches are different
matches now safety matches are different than strike-anywhere matches because you
than strike-anywhere matches because you
than strike-anywhere matches because you cannot strike these anywhere they have
cannot strike these anywhere they have
cannot strike these anywhere they have to be struck on the red strip on the
to be struck on the red strip on the
to be struck on the red strip on the side of the box in order for them to
side of the box in order for them to
side of the box in order for them to light off whereas with strike-anywhere
light off whereas with strike-anywhere
light off whereas with strike-anywhere matches you can basically strike them on
matches you can basically strike them on
matches you can basically strike them on any rough surface and they’ll ignite so
any rough surface and they’ll ignite so
any rough surface and they’ll ignite so what happens if you have lots of matches
what happens if you have lots of matches
what happens if you have lots of matches left over but your red striker strip
left over but your red striker strip
left over but your red striker strip powder is gone from previous experiments
powder is gone from previous experiments
powder is gone from previous experiments or maybe it gets wet saturated or ripped
or maybe it gets wet saturated or ripped
or maybe it gets wet saturated or ripped off to the box it’s not gonna work at
off to the box it’s not gonna work at
off to the box it’s not gonna work at all it’s just all coming
all it’s just all coming
all it’s just all coming [Music]
[Music]
[Music] there is still away you can light these
there is still away you can light these
there is still away you can light these matches and I’m going to show you how to
matches and I’m going to show you how to
matches and I’m going to show you how to do it right now now even though these
do it right now now even though these
do it right now now even though these are not strike-anywhere matches if you
are not strike-anywhere matches if you
are not strike-anywhere matches if you find a surface that’s rough and long
find a surface that’s rough and long
find a surface that’s rough and long enough you might be able to build up
enough you might be able to build up
enough you might be able to build up enough friction to get them to light off
enough friction to get them to light off
enough friction to get them to light off like this that’s about as easy as it
like this that’s about as easy as it
like this that’s about as easy as it gets
gets
gets now the key to making this work is
now the key to making this work is
now the key to making this work is putting your finger right under the head
putting your finger right under the head
putting your finger right under the head of the match then pressing it to the
of the match then pressing it to the
of the match then pressing it to the surface and dragging it in a nice long
surface and dragging it in a nice long
surface and dragging it in a nice long stroke if you do short strokes there’s
stroke if you do short strokes there’s
stroke if you do short strokes there’s not going to be enough friction for this
not going to be enough friction for this
not going to be enough friction for this to light off but if you can drag it 8 to
to light off but if you can drag it 8 to
to light off but if you can drag it 8 to 10 inches you can see the light off no
10 inches you can see the light off no
10 inches you can see the light off no problem this works because the friction
problem this works because the friction
problem this works because the friction between the match head and the wood is
between the match head and the wood is
between the match head and the wood is enough to ignite the potassium chlorate
enough to ignite the potassium chlorate
enough to ignite the potassium chlorate just make sure you get your finger out
just make sure you get your finger out
just make sure you get your finger out of the way of the flame before it burns
of the way of the flame before it burns
of the way of the flame before it burns you the reason this works is because
you the reason this works is because
you the reason this works is because this wood is very dry it’s very rough
this wood is very dry it’s very rough
this wood is very dry it’s very rough and there’s a long enough striking
and there’s a long enough striking
and there’s a long enough striking surface for the friction to build up
surface for the friction to build up
surface for the friction to build up where it can ignite now that may not
where it can ignite now that may not
where it can ignite now that may not always be the case if your wood was damp
always be the case if your wood was damp
always be the case if your wood was damp or if you had a surface that was too
or if you had a surface that was too
or if you had a surface that was too smooth it wouldn’t work the same so you
smooth it wouldn’t work the same so you
smooth it wouldn’t work the same so you see this stick is moist I actually
see this stick is moist I actually
see this stick is moist I actually dropped in the river and matches will
dropped in the river and matches will
dropped in the river and matches will not light on it but if we take a stick
not light on it but if we take a stick
not light on it but if we take a stick and rub it back and forth as if we were
and rub it back and forth as if we were
and rub it back and forth as if we were trying to start a fire by rubbing sticks
trying to start a fire by rubbing sticks
trying to start a fire by rubbing sticks together the friction will actually
together the friction will actually
together the friction will actually drive out the moisture and this has
drive out the moisture and this has
drive out the moisture and this has become a very good striking surface I
become a very good striking surface I
become a very good striking surface I don’t actually want to start a fire by
don’t actually want to start a fire by
don’t actually want to start a fire by rubbing sticks but it is a very similar
rubbing sticks but it is a very similar
rubbing sticks but it is a very similar concept by rubbing the two sticks
concept by rubbing the two sticks
concept by rubbing the two sticks together we’ve actually generated quite
together we’ve actually generated quite
together we’ve actually generated quite a bit of heat which is charred wood that
a bit of heat which is charred wood that
a bit of heat which is charred wood that means it’s driven the moisture off and
means it’s driven the moisture off and
means it’s driven the moisture off and this is very warm right now now that
this is very warm right now now that
this is very warm right now now that should be dry enough we take a match
should be dry enough we take a match
should be dry enough we take a match boom and it lights
boom and it lights
boom and it lights I got light it off in less than an inch
I got light it off in less than an inch
I got light it off in less than an inch big difference okay so it’s been about
big difference okay so it’s been about
big difference okay so it’s been about five minutes since we rub the sticks
five minutes since we rub the sticks
five minutes since we rub the sticks together this is already cooled down
together this is already cooled down
together this is already cooled down quite a bit but surprisingly it still
quite a bit but surprisingly it still
quite a bit but surprisingly it still works really really well the side of a
works really really well the side of a
works really really well the side of a matchbox is red phosphorus and when you
matchbox is red phosphorus and when you
matchbox is red phosphorus and when you strike potassium chlorate it generates a
strike potassium chlorate it generates a
strike potassium chlorate it generates a chemical reaction what we’re doing here
chemical reaction what we’re doing here
chemical reaction what we’re doing here is we’re actually building enough
is we’re actually building enough
is we’re actually building enough to auto-ignite the testing cord itself
to auto-ignite the testing cord itself
to auto-ignite the testing cord itself so you can see even if you find a moist
so you can see even if you find a moist
so you can see even if you find a moist piece of wood you can very easily drive
piece of wood you can very easily drive
piece of wood you can very easily drive off the moisture and strike your matches
off the moisture and strike your matches
off the moisture and strike your matches how cool is that
how cool is that
how cool is that this almost works as well as the red
this almost works as well as the red
this almost works as well as the red striker strip paper does by itself so
striker strip paper does by itself so
striker strip paper does by itself so there you have a guys using a few random
there you have a guys using a few random
there you have a guys using a few random sticks you can find on a nature hike
sticks you can find on a nature hike
sticks you can find on a nature hike you can now turn safety matches in to
you can now turn safety matches in to
you can now turn safety matches in to strike anywhere thanks so much for
strike anywhere thanks so much for
strike anywhere thanks so much for joining me for this video and I’ll be
joining me for this video and I’ll be
joining me for this video and I’ll be looking for you in the next video talk
looking for you in the next video talk
