A good survival tip I saw ages ago on a Malcom Douglas outback show said that you should always have steel wool in your car if you're driving in the outback. You can use it to easily start a fire by connecting some jumper leads (which you should have too if you're going out bush) to a piece of steel wool set in your campfire place and to the car battery. It produces a similar effect and gets a camp fire going easily.

Oh, sure, you could have matches, a lighter etc. in your car, but where's the fun in that? Plus the steel wool is also handy for cleaning battery contacts and many other things.

Just not both contacts at the same time.

It looks like a galaxy ablaze. Awesome...

Cool but, not as cool as "Firewire"

In Africa, people use steel wool for local holidays/ceremonies. This has been done for as long as I can remember.
