Ray Mears talks about making fire by mixing potassium permangenate and anti freeze. Does anyone know where you would get potassium permangenate?
I got mine in Boots a few years back, very fine powder, which is apprently out of date! It's not as if it is for consumption, so what could have possibly gone wrong with it? Surely it will still do the same things it is supposed to do such as making my feet go purple if I use it to get rid of athletes foot.

You dont even need the fire steel, mix the pp with sugar then grind, the friction is enough to get the pp fire party started
Right i think this tread is going a bit far, i only wanted to try the chemical fire as discribed by RM. I have no intention of making any mixes as described by the last post i made no mention of pipe bombs, i was talking about fire not explosion believe me i have as much if not more experience of explosions in my line of work and im sure that noone on this ite would even contemplate anything remotely related to Terrorisim!!! I think the link should be closed to prevent any further stories of the previous kind. I for one have saw my fair share of carrnage and dont feel the need to read about it here!!!
