Was it a humid day? That had all the looks of a tinder bundle that was just a tad damp.

When you're a kid you're not allowed to play with matches, but magnifying glasses, most definitely. Then Timmy's wondering why the tree's behind his house are gone. ha ha.

My girlfriend just gave me a little magnifying lens she found at her job. I planned on adding it to my pack.

@bunny153649 First of all - if you've got flames - then you've got fire! I presume you mean that you can't keep it burning.
Abiding by the Fire Triangle (Heat, Oxygen & Fuel) we have established that you definitely have two ok, you've got heat because you see a flame, oxygen is in the air, so it must be fuel. Make sure you have a fine enough fuel to catch off that little flame, try fine, dry grass. Good luck!

Question: it seemed to take awhile to "catch" when you transferred it to the tinder (birds-nest). Would there be any value in scraping the amadou shavings into a pocket of the tinder, and using the lens to ignite? I was thinking you could "stoke" up the lens longer, and perhaps get a quicker jump start. Not sure if there's more to the story. Nice video.

It could help a little to shread the amadou more and keep it in a ball, but I don't think you'll save that much time by doing it in the bundle itself. Obviously I was trying trying to do it in clear view for the camera.
