Severe Earthquake in Cebu; while I was reading about the damage (my wifes family is OK, 60 dead so far) I found this video. Pretty cool:

 
Pretty cool. Wished the video showed one of those old fire pistons in action.
 
Here's one in action:



Looks like there are several of these for sale on Amazon. Reading the reviews for one of them indicates that it takes some skill to use it and actually get a fire going:

I can see Tatay (now deceased) using that. About twenty years ago, a dog kept crapping on our front porch. I carved a slingshot and every time it came around, I lobbed a rock at it. Tatay just watched me and sat there splitting bamboo with his bolo (machete). When he was done, he built a fence around our dooryard. He never said a word. I looked really stupid.
