  1. If pirates attacked, I wonder if the sailors would beat them back by wielding stockfish as clubs. "No! Come back & fight us for longer! We still have to pound this for hours before we can eat it."

  2. Yeah when he said at the start that it can be "MOLDED and shaped" I laughed coz i thought he misspoke. Peh, horn can't be mo... wait what is he doing with that fire, and that press, w...WHAT! Put in my place in the best way: Educationally 🤯

  3. The fire piston also requires dry tinder to catch, it is not a method which doesn't require something dry, pretty much all of the methods require something dry to catch fire. It was common to carry around your own set of fire starting sticks, which you'd use to start a friction fire when required. So no matter the method, everyone was carrying their fire-making equipment with them, not really just making fire from whatever tools they could find/make locally. Carrying your own set of pre-built tools was always preferred, in all circumstances.

  4.  @markfergerson2145  now I have a mental image of the animal "growing" the horn by hot-extruding it from specialised skull attachments, like making industrial plastic pipes.

  5. I guess it only takes 1 horned animal to fall into the hot-spring. 💡 🤔 "Hmmm"

  7. ​​​​ @HelloMoto393 was chatting w' some American friends & was amazed to find out they don't have local bakeries like we do. You know how corner-shops will have something like a bottlo, small general store, and a bakery? It's apparently not a thing in USA. Oh also they don't have delicatessens (Deli)

  9. Oooh I heard about that, I think from a survival tv show I saw a while back. Hah, I didn't expect the method to be so useful that I'd expect to ever see it mentioned in the comments , what a coincidence 😁

  11. Makes sense, I know they use steam to bend wood, so it must act kinda similar. Tho I suppose the horn is less forgiving to overheating.

  12. We used fences to keep OUT the snakes, foxes, dingos, goannas, hawks. This one wouldn't work to keep our chickens safe 🙃. But I'd still be up for building it coz it does look nice

  13. On the lens theme: I wonder if people used a curved polished metal "mirror" to focus sunlight to start fires ☀️. Like an "Archimedes death ray". It might have been easier to find a metal able to be hammered into shape & polished, compared to needing a large transparent gem or manufactured glass that needed to be cut/ground into a lens shape. The skills to work the metal would have been more common.

  16. I'm fascinated by the acidity problem eating the fabric. Perhaps you should pre-wash the fabric in very soapy water and don't rinse it (just wring it then stretch it onto the frame). The alkalinity of soap (especially a harsh lye-rich poorly made old soap) may help counter the acidity of the linseed.

  17. It cost 20,000 cents to fire this gun, for 12 years.
