Ok, so this video just might help save your life someday.  This guy actually starts a fire using an orange, a rock and a stick.  Nothing special about any of it and he starts it very quickly.  I’m going to buy an orange and see if it actually works for me.

I also think I will carry an orange with me every time I venture out into the woods from here on out.

Enjoy and learn.  My life may be dependent on you starting a fire to help get me warm someday.  I hope not, but you never know!

I was duped!

With further investigation about this fire using an orange I found it was all a fake!  One of the people on a hoax busters show says to re look at the video and notice the camera actually pans up toward the guys face when he is explaining how he was going to rub the stick and all of a sudden he says it had started.

I looked again at the video and also noticed when they panned down into the orange and he pulled the stick up, the end of the stick was on fire.  Hoax buster man says the color of the flame indicates it was an alcohol fire, which would also explain the small flame on the end of the stick.

So, I now have two oranges to eat.
