Through the eyes of the Page brothers and company alumni, Firestarter explores the loss and reclaiming of culture, the burden of intergenerational trauma and crucially, the extraordinary power of art as a messenger for social change and healing. It recognises Bangarra’s early founders and tells the story of how three young Aboriginal brothers – Stephen, David and Russell Page – turned the newly born dance group into one of Australia’s leading performing arts companies. For fire-starting purposes, we recommend using a weatherproof variety, as non-weatherproof matches are essentially useless when exposed to even the smallest amount of moisture, but weatherproof ones can, in some cases, even be utilized in a torrential downpour.Firestarter – The Story of Bangarra is a historically important film that takes the viewer through Bangarra’s birth and spectacular growth to where we are today entering our 4 th decade. However, they lack reusability once you've used one, that's it. Matches: Typically made out of wood and tipped with a material or materials that can be easily stricken and ignited - usually on a sandpaper-like surface but strike-anywhere varieties can be used on a multitude of surfaces - these are amongst the most common and well-known fire starters around. The downside to these is that they can be a bit more unwieldy than their counterparts. The benefit to this is that it allows for a lot more surface area, meaning you can create a huge amount of sparks. Magnesium Block: Operating on roughly the same principle as ferro rods and flint-and-steel fire starters (meaning they're meant to be used with an additional striker or striking surface), this variety differs in that the magnesium typically comes in a rectangular format rather than a cylinder. Obviously, that means they're limited by how much fuel they have and, especially with cheaper disposable versions, they don't always work in inclement weather - especially wind and rain. so long as they have fuel in them, usually in the form of ignition fluid (like butane) or even electricity. Lighter: Undoubtedly the simplest fire-starting tool, lighters are modern inventions (at least compared to the rest of these common types) that are easy to use with one hand and are remarkably reliable. If using this option, make sure you have some kind of tinder beneath in order to properly start that fire. They can be durable, but the sparks aren't as powerful and, therefore, not as easy to start a fire with when compared to some of the other options. Typically made up of two parts, a piece of steel and flint (a form of quartz), these types of starters are usually operated by physically striking the flint and steel together, which actually shaves off bits of the steel and ignites them. However, the benefit is that they make some of the hottest, brightest sparks and are quite easy to start fires with.įlint and Steel: When people think of fire starters, this is usually what they're imagining. These types of fire starters need to be used with some kind of striker tool - usually, a piece of edged metal that is literally scraped quickly against the ferro rod - in order to create a shower of sparks, which limits their versatility somewhat and requires the use of two hands. Ferro Rod: Short for Ferrocerium, ferro is a relatively soft metal alloy made, most often, with a combination of iron and magnesium.
