Forged in Fire: Halligan Bar Challenge

In this video, two competitors, Britt and Forrest, are tasked with forging a Halligan bar, a crucial rescue tool. Over four days, they design, forge, and test their creations. The process involves initial design, forming, quenching, and final testing in simulated rescue scenarios. Britt's tool is heavier but effective, while Forrest's is lighter but lacks a flat striking surface. Ultimately, Britt wins the competition due to better design decisions, earning the title of Forged in Fire Champion and a $10,000 prize.
