I'm an old hat at the magnifying glass and battery/steel wool combos, but the pop can chocolate bar thing is total McGyver style! The thing is you'll never know when a situation will come up where you'd actually need fire (and most people probably think they'll NEVER be in a situation like that) so it's good to know a technique that uses stuff readily available, that you might have on hand anyway. To those of you saying "I'll just keep matches with me" remember this; you'll have a finite supply. Both the magnifying glass technique AND this pop can method are great because the only thing you have to rely on is a supply of timber and the sun. GREAT post Glenn. I learned a lot, and wasn't even able to check the balloon one yet due to being @ work. :-) Have a great weekend everyone, thanks for reading Urban Monarch. Unreal!!!
