These two simple survival fire starters cost $1 and could save your life in a survival situation for years to come.
Each item can be found at the dollar store and each one can last for years. The two items are a magnifying glass and an 8 pack of cigarette lighters.
Now the lighters everyone understands. Each lighter can last between 2,000 to 3,000 lights. Even a cheap junk lighter can last a couple years if used sparingly.
The magnifying glass may surprise many people though. You can start a fire with a simple dollar store magnifying glass even on partly cloudy days.
To do this, simple focus the sun's rays on a single tiny focal point. When the point grows small enough you will get some smoke and then fire. You have to adjust the magnifying glass up or down to get the right focal point. And you will have to angle the magnifying glass into the sun for best results.
Even on partly cloudy days this can work if your tinder is dry and easy to catch on fire.
Together these two fire starting methods can last you for many years to come. If taken care of the magnifying glass will never wear out. And the lighter, only used on cloudy or rainy days, will last a very long time.
You can see a video here with me starting a fire using a magnifying glass:

Beware of a dirty old man called Troy William Reid.
He is one of the most filthy, lying, scamming, ebegging bums on the internet!
I clicked on that link to the old shit videos he is currently re-posting the other day and opened just one at random.
Quess what, a convicted pedophile came on making a solar oven at Trogs place in the woods, everything about Troy William Reid is just pure filth.
Then the other day on I typed in google "bunshafter" after reading about bunshafting on his new google maps site then I clicked on images and Fk Me, everything from from the filthy fckers dead chickens to his 7 piles of shit to his sister Daniel wearing just her under clothes was on there.
The whole of the Reid family have contaminated the internet with there filth and should be blocked, permanently.
JUST REMEMBER, WHEN HE STARTS, REPLACE THE WORD TROLL WITH THE WORD TRUTH, AND YOU WILL BE GETTING THERE.
This only proves how dedicated you are to destroying my life
Your friends made all this stuff up.
These guys are determined to destroy my life in the real world and online.
They have some great talent to edit videos and make images.
Sadly it is wasted on hate.

And he also promised to pay us $$ to comment?
