Vikings developed a portable fire survival system by treating touchwood fungus (Fomes fomentarius) with urine, which contains nitrates that chemically alter the fungus to create a slow-burning, smoldering fuel capable of maintaining ignition for hours even when wet, allowing them to carry fire across stormy North Atlantic voyages in protective pouches.

How Vikings Carried Fire Across Oceans Without It Going Out (Smoldering Fungus Survival Engineering)Hinzugefügt:
How did Vikings keep fire alive across the stormy North Atlantic without matches >> [music] >> or waterproof gear?
In open boats, one storm could wipe out their only source of heat, cooking, and survival.
So, they engineered a portable combustion system.
They used a tree fungus called touchwood, then chemically treated it by soaking it [music] in urine.
The natural nitrates in urine changed the fungus into a slow-burning fuel.
Instead of flames, >> [music] >> it smoldered, glowing red-hot for hours without going out, even when wet.
Packed in pouches, it became [music] a portable ignition source, a survival fire you could carry through a storm.
