You can even use your spectacles for this purpose.Survival Foodhttp://www.americansurvival.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282951063086408258.post-89878877851924334292010-04-18T16:15:08.889-07:002010-04-18T16:15:08.889-07:00It's been awhile for me since I started a fire...It's been awhile for me since I started a fire without a match or lighter... probably since my Boy Scout days. Those are some interesting ways to start a fire. I like the 9 volt battery and SOS pad idea. That sounds like the easiest. I've started fires using the magnesium stick and the magnifying glass. Still have a magnesium stick in my bowie knife holster. <br /><br />Great, informative post.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605551857342134163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282951063086408258.post-40321862821330877222010-04-18T10:59:19.652-07:002010-04-18T10:59:19.652-07:00It can be a real challange if you've never don...It can be a real challange if you've never done it before and if you don't know the techniques.

Most modern people have never had to start a fire in adverse conditions. I hiked part of the AT with this group of very back to the basics women and had to start a fire in the rain so we could cook and eat. Before it was over, I would have killed one of those women for some dry kindling and a match. I started the fire, but I wasn't happy about the process.Jessica Penothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151171434078139270noreply@blogger.com
