I'm the fellow in the middle (not with a harness), Kaber is on the right side of the screen, and Kurgan, Shino, Moses, and Remy are pulling ropes for the two flyers. The other guy in a harness doesn't fight.

We just had a big show on a stage with like 2000 people watching. It was tight.

What did you use to allow those things to burn so long?

I would strongly suggest everyone familiarize themselves with the search function on this forum. Most of the questions you could ever think of have been asked by somebody in the past.

The core is titanium tubing wrapped it in kevlar rope. We let them soak in kerosene and then dip them in white gas (which is just to help them catch faster).

Out of curiosity, how long does that burn for if you just let it go?

There's also more burn time involved when you chop someone in the kidneys with those; man, I've seen people burn into slag only after thirty minutes. of screaming. and more chopping. and more screaming.
