"Fire Paste"

[David_JAFO]

hello,
to the NBC. I was reading this with interest. Tried & tested many years ago with a certain product similar to your 'cook book' recipe. Something you don't really want to mess with especially our younger NBC members, as this can cause very nasty burns. As Fish very kindly replied,"that's a way the yanks used to make napalm in the field but with diesel and soap."

Napalm being illegal to manufacture and use as a weapon of course........
Its against the Geneva Convention

I know, and its actually the LOAC these days as you are no doubt aware...

My point being the legality of manufacture.... It would certainly be a thing our younger members would only want to try using under direct adult supervision and not bother making at all

It's basically made from grinding up or shaving a bar of soap until it is nothing more than flakes, no bigger than a finger nail,

Do you think using a cheese grater would be about right?

Sounds dangerous if you ask me, I would advise not trying this or at least doing outside were possible fires will have less to damage?

In my experience this type of fire lighting is just not required to make a small campfire in the woods.

It's more a survival, SHTF method...as Steve said he got it from and i quote "one of his SF mates".

I assume SHTF is something sticky hitting a fan? In which case it will never get used by us living in a civilised world as most of us who have not served for our country will never know the meaning of survival. I have a huge respect for our armed forces but this sort of thing is not something to be used in day to day life. It should kept for the armed forces who are trained in this type of chemical fire. I'm sure our ex-forces members will have all sorts of tricks that are not for use in everyday camping.

If any of you are going to make this stuff, please be extremely careful, who knows what could happen if you mess up with what sounds like a very hazardous chemical mix.

Good luck and be safe!

We do have a forum section specifically for SHTF / TEOTWAWKI / Prepper discussion so this kind of thread has an 'appropriateness'.

And in the case of ex forces posters 'yes we do'...

Several warnings have been posted by mods and members alike particularly to our younger members.

Adults are free to make their own decisions, if a forum member wishes to take this info, which is incidentally freely available on the internet, and at one time was in print in a certain book..(which is illegal now AFAIK) and use it then so be it....

As this thread topic is more in keeping with TEOTAWKI/ SHTF/ SURVIVAL it has been moved to this area of the forum
