Sparker cut-down video planned

Next time I find a dead or broken lighter I plan to do a video on how to cut it down to a sparker. I've seen it done on youTube and other pages before so I don't know exactly where I got the idea from.
This one is good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ33MxR86D8
Does anyone have any other ideas on what to do with it?

Got a new toy

I've had this little yellow knife for a while but I couldn't find anywhere to buy new blades for it. Today I found the same model (in green) in a famous cheap-tat store (not named, I'll say later) with extras so since it was cheap I got another one. Shame I couldn't get just the blades but it's a spare if nothing else. Since the law changed here these are technically illegal to carry because they lock (I don't want to get the shop in trouble) but I'm not going to be carrying them all the time anyway. The yellow one lives in my tin, and I don't know what to do with the new one yet but at least I have some spare blades. Some sod had taken the spares out of two packets before I got there so I had to dig to the back for this one. I don't know why they would steal them since they're only cheap.

I went for a wander, explored some fields, and found a bridge I didn't know existed. Originally I was looking at a place I wanted to turn into a camp, but other people seem to have had that idea and have left the charred remains of a tent behind. No thanks. Oh well, on to the next spot. At least I expanded my mental map today.

My name is BimbleThunk and I'm a prepper.

I was thinking of having all the outdoor stuff I'm learning about in one place so BimbleThunk was born. Bimble has existed for a little week or two and I have been gathering accounts across different social network sites so that as Bimble I can learn things and hopefully teach other newbies things they might not have known existed. I will mostly be sharing stuff I think is interesting with the possibility of making some videos and sharing some photos and stories. So far I haven't really done anything but I plan to soon. I hope I learn a lot here and that I can help other people find things they were looking for.
Enjoy!
