erik meade Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 So, now that the question has been answered, what is the best load for starting a shotgun shell fire? The question has not been answered. I went out and tried Magyver Davin's method. All I got was some blackened wool on the stump and a bunch of unburned powder poured out of the barrel. I tried with a lot of wool, a little wool, tamped tight, loose, I couldn't get the wool to even give a hint that it was going to ember. I think that Davin is just making stuff up. I have video I could probably email or post later. Link to post Share on other sites

erik meade Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Wool doesn't burn, try cotton. Davin said wool is best. He is a Ph.D. candidate science guy who is in the lab, probably. But I can try cotton tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites

Backlash Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Erik, I am assuming that if you are lost and need to start a fire while bird hunting you will also have your dog with you. Batteries from the ecollar or transmitter can be used to make a spark to ignite your pile of powder. My transmitter uses 9 volt batteries and I spent many a misguided youthful moment starting fires using 9 volts and steel wool. Link to post Share on other sites
erik meade Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 I don't own an e-collar, never used one. I just have misbehaving dogs. Link to post Share on other sites
Backlash Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I don't own an e-collar, never used one. I just have misbehaving dogs. What about a beeper? I recall you were concerned leaving one or the other in your pocket would set off a shell. Please clarify. EDIT: Found the thread. It was an ecollar for an electric fence.

nobirdshere Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Well Erik, it is a good thing your life didn't depend on the wool and powder method. If you cannot be implored to not get lost, I at least implore you to carry an alternative form of fire starter. Otherwise, the old (unfunny) Rookie was once lost and called 911. He followed the blaring sirens to the road. I am sure the local law enforcement had nothing better to do. Just bring your cell phone and a healthy dose of panic. Link to post Share on other sites
