Did he do that more than twice?  I remember one was on a kayak trip in Alaska and another where he made a shelter against the roots of a toppled tree. ;D

I've also noticed that most of these shows (when showing fire-making) go from ember to flame in a matter of just a few seconds.  (I wonder how many takes it took to accomplish that ... or if, between cuts, there wasn't a cigarette lighter involved).
