Making fire in the wilderness with a coke and Hershey's

Well if by some weird freak of nature I find myself stranded in some dark and lonely woods, at least I know I will always be able to start a fire to either keep me warm or burn the whole forest down to find my way out.

I'd be dead (or at least cold) because I'd have probably already eaten all the chocolate and drank all the soda. I don't do well in the wilderness. I hate camping and all that outdoorsy crap. My idea of "roughing it" is when my hotel room doesn't get ALL the movie channels. You go sleep in a polyester sack inside some cloth box staked to the ground. I'll be having a corned beef sandwich courtesy of room service in my suite's Jacuzzi tub.

Having said that, it WAS an interesting read.

I saw Survivalman do this on Discovery Channel. It really does work. Not that I could do it...I couldn't start a fire in the woods if my life depended on it, unless somebody gave me a bunsen burner (long story).
