Fire Bag?

Post by DoctorJay »

Is it possible to make a fire hack ( I am sure some people can remember the short video)?

What material should I use , which thread , what substances for the fire, will the fire hurt my lavers?

I hope anybody could answer my questions

I remember there used to be a site, www.firefootbags.com I think. They used to sell bags that you could light on fire. But I don't know what you would use to make one. I don't think it would hurt your lavers that much, unless you let it sit there on your foot for a while.

I have a fire hack, I think it's made with kevlar or something. The filler is all metal. You just dip it in lamp oil, and light it. You can even pick it up with bare hands as long as you don't hold for too long... It looks really really awsome...

Daniel Schuldes from Munich/London told me about a firehack his
mom had made for him when I met him at the Streetlife Festival.

I don't have his email-adress, but he posts on the .org forum, so you
can mail him from there.

If u are flammable and have legs, u are never blocking a fire exit

we use a knit bag and soak it in rubbing alcohol and it usually last a couple of min and it doesnt burn hot enough to hurt much
you when you hold it it just burns the hair off your hands, arms , legs ect.. and it doesnt burn the lavers :lol:

Username: The oil used in these types of fire tricks (Flaming hack, torch juggling, ect) burns at a really low temperature compared to most things. That's what makes it safe enough to use.

P.S.

'Really low' doesn't mean that it won't burn you. It just won't burn you as fast or as badly. Always be careful playing with fire, even low temp fire.

I always use that oil that you put in Tiki Torches. You can hold it it seems wierd. The only time something burns is if some of the oil rubs off on it and that burns for a while but then goes out. It is unerving picking it up for the first time though...

no joke there. But once you're over that, you have nothing but fun. It makes such a cool sound as you kick it. You can pretend to be Ryu from street fighter with your feet. :lol:
