I’m about to pull my hair out. As fans shouldn’t they know the metal match has the flint - but the REST of the match is magnesium?
Scrape a few flakes off the back into a pile, place some small tinder above it and then strike the flint down into the magnesium chips.
I have to admit I didn’t know about the magnesium flakes myself. But I find the whole “let’s make fire” exercise boring every season. Even if you didn’t wear glasses, bring a pair anyway. They make fire!!
Actually, I thought Mikey B’s plan was pretty well thought out - guys vote for Chet, women for Tracy. Of course, what surprises me is that because their fans, I’m surprised these guys are forgetting the Playskool/Oldskool Africa rule - be very, very careful about isolating members of your tribe - it could come back to bite you in the behind later. While I don’t necessarily think they’ll do a fan/fave tribe switch (it would defeat the premise of the season), it’s what allowed Boran to pick off Samburu in Season 3 after the merge. And let’s not forget Shii-Ann - the only thing that did her in in Thailand was the non-merge. And if Kathy/Chet/Tracy are still around at the merge, they’ll be happy to align with the faves because even if they can’t win, they’ll make darn sure that YOU don’t.
