TotallyOz Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Get lucky in the backcountry. Need another reason to add a condom to your med kit? With a little water and a lot of sun, you can turn one into a liquid lens. Do it You need a regular condom (light colored and non-ribbed; non-lubricated is best because it can double as an emergency canteen). (1) Dump at least a few ounces of clear liquid into the condom. (This technique requires less liquid than the plastic bottle.) (2) Twist the condom until a tight sphere of liquid forms at the bottomyou want a totally smooth surface. (3) Shift the condom-balloon around to find the hottest, most-focused point and aim this beam at your tinder pile. (Tips: Use your fingers to squeeze the sphere to further fine-tune your light beam; make sure its angled toward the sun to maximize its strength and heat; and keep your tinder bundle sheltered from windits all about heat.) http://www.backpacker.com/start-a-fire-with-a-condom/survival/17845 Quote
