Hey Lloyd , will

Actually, it burns pretty politely until it's shocked strongly.

I hear C4 is great campfire starter, too. (What brilliant person first
thought of that one, eh?)


The first GI that was wet, cold and hungry.

"I think I'll light my high-explosive plastique on fire." is not a
sane concept, sir. Even a super-small test piece would have blown his
hands clean off if he guessed wrong about it not exploding. shrug
I mean, you wouldn't just shave a slice off your stick of dynamite to
start a fire, would you? And it's less explosive.

Yes..dynamite burns well, though not as fast as C4

blink I guess I knew less about dynamite than I thought, thinking
that fire or shock could detonate it.
