⬐ epsThe author manages to keep talking for 5 minutes with 20-30 seconds of actual material. If you can understand how the rope burns without his assistance, he shows how the lighter _works_ around 5:00 mark.⬐ redis_mlcInteresting video - worth watching.One commenter said that the reason it's not well-known for emergency use today is that if the rope gets wet, it won't light.
⬐ xellisxTIL. I was thinking this was going to be a Zippo. I have a feeling that the Zippo was "an improved" version of this thou.⬐ electricantVery cool. You can also hang around with a charred cotton strip and throw sparks at it.⬐ astatineFascinating! I recollect seeing, as a kid, a lit rope hanging in cigarette kiosks/shops in India to use as a lighter for their customers. This used to be a jute rope and, though lit with a match unlike in this video, would keep burning slowly through the day. Saved matches and was always lit. Have not seen it in recent years.
