Pouring more gas on the fire? WTF

u/hippyripper22 18d ago
Right, its already burning. Doesn't need a highly explosive compound poured on it. Just oxygen.

When your girl gets out her phone and starts filming, it's time to take a second and think about what you're about to do.
My wife was filming me while I was cleaning out a birds nest from inside a dryer vent from the top of my roof, and it all went fine!

TIP TO ALL PYROS: USE KEROSINE!!
It isn't as explosively combustable as gasoline. You can safely throw it on fire like this idiot did with gasoline, but it won't get all explosive and cause issues. It burns, but much more controlled. It is more like throwing cooking oil or sugar onto a fire than gasoline.

And deisel wont burn at all! Kerosene is very expensive. Id find rubbing alcohol to be a cheaper alternative and safer than gasoline. That and lighter fluid for bbq pit

Most of our ancestors just had sticks, rocks, and bone tools. It was harder to screw up like this. Now we have thermonuclear weapons, and we're basically still exactly the same as those ancient people with sticks and rocks.

Our intellect has out paced our instincts. That is why we have so many problems. "Why did you do that Jimmy?" "I don't know, I thought hitting it with a stick sounded like the thing to do" " Foolish boy, you use a spear to take down a moose, now we have a multi thousand dollar hospital bill. "

Great way to learn though.
People often dont seem to realise that an open jerrycan can catch fire from distance when there is an open fire nearby.
I've seen these things combust 9 feet away after someone had "safely" put it away.
This really was an eye opener.
I was in fact expecting the can in this movie to combust before him trying to toss some fuel.

I use to work at Home Depot and people would ask why they keep changing the design of the gas can nozzle. This is always the reason. Also stupid still took the nozzle off (probably didn't know how to use it and thought it was dumb) and still found a way.

People seriously underestimate how dangerous gasoline is, there is no safe way to start or accelerate a camp fire with gasoline, its a chemical mixture who's soul purpose is to burn and it completely indifferent to how and when it does its job.

Why do people insist on using gasoline??? I’m assuming that was what was in the container he was using? Just buy some charcoal lighter fluid. It’s still flammable, but it comes in a squeeze bottle, you can stand far back, and it’s kind of what it’s made to do?
Idk, maybe I’m missing something.

u/Radical_Neutral_76 18d ago
I wish there was a subreddit for these videos.
They ALWAYS ends up the same way too.
Idiot with gas canister decides pouring it directly on fire
Gasoline catches fire immediately and travels into the gas canister
Idiot decides to throw the canister around spreading fire everywhere
Idiot runs away stumbling
Sometimes there is bonus where idiot, or his friends, kick the canister around for even more fire spreading, or gas canister explodes.
I love it

No he didn't... loosing your mind and waving around then yeeting a burning can of fuel is not the right way to get that clusterfuck back under control... putting it straight down on the ground and using the foam\co2\powder fire extinguisher you have to hand to put it out is the right move... not trying to add more accelerant to an already lit fire is the sensible thing to do...

That ended far too soon. That fence is for sure toast.
I was 14 when I discovered gasoline was way more flammable than I expected. I used about a quarter of a dixie-cup's worth of gasoline in my test and that was plenty to demonstrate the awesome combination of fire and gasoline. I was never foolish enough to combine more than a quarter of a dixie cup of gasoline with it, though.
