eoneuk Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 http://www.newser.com/story/239925/hiker-trying-to-start-campfire-blows-off-his-hand.html Not directly related to pyro, but it shows the result of a careless moment. Although not mentioned in the article, I would guess that the extensive injury was cause by the container exploding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeighborJ Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I bet he tried dumping the BP strait from a goex can onto what he thought was a failed attempt at a fire, there was probably still an ember. It sounds as though he's gonna need a hand completing his trek, unfortunately for him I'm kinda attached to mine. I guess he'll think twice before grabbing the handy BP again.

PyroCreationZ Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Since BP doesn't 'explode' unless confined I think you hit the nail on the head NeighborJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenlight Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I can think of so many better pyrotechnic compositions to start a fire other than black powder. Interesting choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
