I saw something on the Swamp Rat survival forum that jogged a memory. Its about using the bottom of a Coke can as a parabolic mirror to start your tinder for a fire. I'm going to try it soon.

Now, another method I've read about but never tried is using a 12 volt battery to start a fire. Sometimes the writer uses steel wool.
There must be a dozen other off the wall methods to start a fire. Can anybody think of some? There are probably some household chemicals that would work but I don't know any.
