  1. Wow, Dan looks like he’s straight from migration era Germany. Awesome face structure, piercing blue eyes and survival skills! If you’d ask a Roman, what does a barbarian look like, they’d describe this guy for you.

  2. Can you do this with another rock instead of metal? In “Hervarer saga ok Heiðreks”, ‘Gestumblindi’ (just a hiding name for Wen) poses a riddle that goes something like this. “What lonesome one sleeps forever in the gray ash and is made from stone ONLY. This greedy one has mother nor father, there he will spend his life.” The answer was a spark. However the text clearly suggests you can do it with just two rocks. In Dutch flint is literally ‘firestone’. So, a flint and what other rock does one need? I guess some kind of iron ore?
