The Good Stuff Crew drops Craig in the middle of the woods and makes him attempt to start a fire the way our ancestors did thousands of years ago. Without a lighter, without matches, without the conveniences of modern civilization, could you start a fire?
Also, Matt tries to spear a fish using only what nature provides!
Could Matt and Craig survive alone in the wilderness? Do we really have the control over the environment that we think we do?

![What Is The Power Grid?
Joe Hanson from Its Okay To Be Smart gives Craig the rundown on energy and the electrical grid. Where does our electricity come from? How are fossil fuels formed? What is the largest machine in the world?

![What if The Civil War Were Tweeted? | Time Capsule
The American Civil War was a huge news story. If you weren’t fighting in the war, you probably knew somebody who was. Reporters all over the United States were not only racing to keep up with the war, but they also had to contend with the public’s demand for up-to-the-minute news. Just as social media and the internet have changed the way news is delivered today, there was one technological innovation that allowed the media of the time to be able to communicate and report the news faster than ever before: the telegraph.
Learn more about the Civil War at PBS Learning Media

For a more dramatic take on the Civil War, check out Mercy Street on PBS

Time Capsule is made in association with PBS Learning Media. In each video we will take a look at the past, and find out how what happened way back then made what happens in the here and now possible!
