    This has been discussed before but worth a bump...

    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

    Everyone should know this one:

    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Inspired by the pencil trick:

    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Good stuff and I like the water bottle the best.
    You don't need to be the strongest
    or the most intelligent to survive
    but by having the right tools and
    the adaptability of change
    is where you will prevail.

    yeah, it is something that most people have, or at least have access to. Although a forked stick would free up your hands (and forehead) to work on your tinder.

    I actually have two Fresnel lenses. Supposedly they are great for fire starting, but I have yet to try one.
    I originally got them for other purposes.

    Whatever happened to gasoline and a match?????????

    The Fresnel lens work great. Also just a magnifying glass. Your glass will work also, so long as they aren't sunglasses.......

    Some guy I used to work with had a box of them. I got him to give me two.
    Should've tried to get more.

    As bind as I am, my glasses would probably start a fire in mere seconds.
