Neat idea.

As a Boy Scout we used 'D' batteries and Steel Wool

I use highway flares.

Who carries pencils?

Just burn the rental car....

NO need for jumper cables, pencils, flares, D batteries & steel wool, etc.......

Just break out your Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and be patient...:W

Good point. If you're going to carry pencils, it would be easier to carry matches or a lighter.

But, it is a neat idea. You can impress the kids and G/kids. :C

Or, just use the smart phone your watching the video on!

Or, if you're going to remember a pencil, lighter, matches, jumper cables.....you might want to remember to gas up before your trip!:)

Cool video, though!

I just keep a few of these around. Works great. They're available at lots of places, and are cheap. They're small, you you can store one almost anywhere. And, one of them will start hundreds, if not thousands, of fires. I'm surprised people here aren't familiar with them.
