I spent a couple hours this afternoon trying to start a fire with a cheap magnifying glass. If I had a decent tinder bundle I would have succeeded. Amazing how easy it is to get something smoking. Burnt a whole bunch of stuff, just never managed to get to fire.
- skellera 7y agoI used to draw on planks of wood with a magnifying glass when a I was a kid. Could add another thing for you to do!
- Breza 7y agoMay I suggest dryer lint as tinder. I keep all of mine in a bucket for just that purpose.
- war1025 7y agoI'll have to give that a try next time. We have some Lamb's Ear [1] in our garden that I had a decent amount of success with, but I used up most of the dead stuff from last year over the course of the afternoon.
