Reply #22 - Dec 9^th, 2005 at 10:06am One website shows how to do it with a piece of Saran wrap and water. Something like www.trapperstrail.com or so. It worked for them, but then again, they made it with the ice lens as well, so they are probably really good in firemaking.

Reply #24 - Dec 10^th, 2005 at 2:12pm I one time found burnmarks next to my watch, which had been in the sun during the day. Its plastic 'glass' had worked as lens. I was lucky not to get fire then. (I have never left that watch out in daylight afterwards.) Willeke

I heard of a neat way to make fire using the bottom of an aluminum can and a chocolate bar. You use the chocolate to polish the bottom of the can and use the reflected light from the bottom of the can to set fire to a small piece of tinder on a stick which can then be used to light the fire. The can bottom can also be used as an emergency reflector in a pinch, I imagine.
