I'll have to remember to stop by if I'm up that way this summer
What do people do with magnesium ribbons, though? Fire starter?
Yes. Go to Ebay and pick up a bag of powdered aluminum, some powdered iron oxide, mix in correct proportions, stick a piece of magnesium ribbon in it, and light. The thermal reaction (thermite) will light a piece of wood on fire that you just pulled up off of the bottom of a lake.Stand well back and DO NOT look at the light when it's going!
I’m guessing you didn’t even have to Google that......
Congrats Den, living the dream. I’d pop by if it wasn’t an entire day’s drive.
JUST an entire day's drive? Lucky you.
I want that Churchill pump but the $50 off doesn't quite offset the $1200 plane ticket![]()
Congrats Den and I will be sure to drop in next time I'm out.
