Making Fire With Ice!

Step 4 Focus the brightest spot of the suns light onto your tinder.

Locate tinder that is completely dry and finely divided. With the sun at its highest in the sky hold your lens perpendicular to the sun and move it up and down to focus the brightest spot of light onto your tinder. Be careful to avoid dripping water onto your tinder. The tinder will first smoke and then ignite. Carefully add more tinder and very small sticks until a good fire is established.

Very cool and simple skill to keep in the back of your brain incase you ever need it! Thanks!

ive heard that making it into a ball works the best, althought you pretty much have to have the ice resting on the object. as a ball it doesnt have to be as big either.
