Ray Mears / Solar Spark Lighter

[324liz]

Australian flies are really naughty.. they fly into your mouth.

[chochamsprime]

looks like a nug

[staphinfection]

That little mirror is AWESOME! But only when there's sun out.

[mryellow123]

Flies a problem? Develop a well tuned reflex "aussie salute"

[Soundgarden8497]

you can just use any curved glass for this, what a gimmick

[littlestworkshop]

@Soundgarden8497 It should work with much lower light levels than a typical lens due to the large size.

[Soundgarden8497]

@littlestworkshop still pointless over a normal lens

[littlestworkshop]

@Soundgarden8497 Your comment makes no sense after what I said. If you said it was pointless over a fire steel I would have agreed.

[Soundgarden8497]

@littlestworkshop just use any magnifying glass, this one is not special

[littlestworkshop]

@Soundgarden8497 This one will work when a magnifying glass will not, when the light levels are low.

i love dung

[schattenfaust]

Find the sun.

ohh thats a deal breaker!

[zyphernova750]

I remember starting my own ember with a magnifying glass, it was pretty damn magical.

[brockpierce1984]

Lighting up shit...hmmm

[1442899]

get the shit out of your eyes so the flys dont bother them

[kelnology]

@1442899 you are one funny guy..hahahaha

[1442899]

@kelnology ohh haha glad ya think so 

[DeluxeWarPlaya]

thats the wrong solution to the flies problem. What you need is some string, a few corks and knowledge of how to tie an overhand knot.

[alphabravocharlie95]

but i was wondering how are you gonna light a fire at night?

[Cartoonruf]

Superb.That is one great lighter. :)

[brockpierce1984]

@Cartoonruf Sure a nifty tool. But you can also use any type of lens, like if you are wearing glasses. That way you dont have to carry unnecessary stuff with you.

[Wiegieboard]

That's an outstanding tool!

[nesbitt615]

there is a south african guy on here that has perfected the solar techniques RobwithaB "101 ways to light a fire" last I checked he was up to #12 but he is funy as hell and explains the ways pretty good.

[beege19]

you can make a crude lighter like this by polishing the bottom of a metal soda or beer can.

[BongsIzRippin]

Wow that solar lighter is very neat

[dkeizer05]

Mmmm, I'm drinking coffee right now.

Anyways, that solar lighter is pretty cool. I'd never seen it before but it's so simple I wonder why I didn't think of it myself.

[Eelbrood]

Different strokes for different folks. Have some latitude...

[RDPproject]

Screw coffee...nothing like a good cup of tea when camping.

[MrVoiceofreason123]

@RDPproject I prefer coffee in the bush to tea.

[krugertown]

@MrVoiceofreason123 I prefer watered down excrement with a splash of syphalitic puss from a genital wound.

[warriorofsteel01]

@RDPproject

Coffee leaves a terrible taste in your mouth anyways,
