Build a Fire Without Matches or a Lighter

Posted by Adam Pash at 4:00 AM on September 21, 2007


Don't have any matches or a lighter on hand but just happen to have fine steel wool and a 9-volt battery? Rub 'em together and you've got fire. The likelihood that you are without matches or any sort of lighter but that you do have steel wool and a battery on hand seems slim, but either way this is a great bit of MacGyver ingenuity.
