Do 20 Year-Old Socks Still Have Static Charge?

Have you ever kept a pair of socks for 20 years? My dad has! These wool socks from Mountain Equipment Co-op are from his old hiking days with Anil Thaker, Ketan Bhalla, Mark Fiala.

I’ve seen many episodes of Bear Grylls in which he must make a fire by sparking a flint. In this video we are trying to find out if we can get an electric spark from wool socks! We have a small, blonde Man vs. Wild fan (named Kjell Solbak) that will be joining us on in this video to get an electric shock!
