VIDEO: How To Make Fire… Using Ice! Photo – https://youtube.com/watch?v=thbSSuo1Z00
Here’s one of the more unusual ways to make fire – explained with an actual demonstration!
It’s been known since ancient times that the power of sunlight, focused into a concentrated beam, can raise temperatures high enough to start fire. Various writers from ancient times mention vases filled with water or angled mirrors – and used burning lenses to light fires in temples. Excavations have found rock crystal lenses made by the Vikings, though the purpose of these is not certain.

The potential of the sun, when harnessed in this way, is immense: There is an old legend that Archimedes created a weapon that was used in 212 BC to burn Roman warships in a battle.
In modern times, the typical method of using the sun to start fire, known by all, is the use of a magnifying glass. Even a simple glass bottle, left in the dry brush, can start a fire – hence the warnings against it.
Depending on the size of the glass, more of the sun’s power can be harnessed – and I have even seen solar welding using a Fresnel lens a few feet in diameter! At the extreme scale, concentrated solar power stations make use of mirror arrays to collect sunlight from large areas for the purpose of using the heat to generate power.
In this video, our demonstrator proves that it is possible to use ice as the lens to make the fire, so long as it is shaped in the right way. Note of course that you will need sunlight, preferably high overhead, in order to effect this method – but it’s another valuable fire starting technique to add to your bushcrafting skills!
Ok, here’s the video on How To Make Fire Using Ice – let us know what you think! 🙂

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:
According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.
It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.
Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!
As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?
But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!
The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.
This gives you real water security!

😳 What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)
After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.
As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...
Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:
An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Hmmmm….I don’t know…even with magnifying glasses, the flame will slowly light up. This one sort of burst into flame. I refuse to believe this clip.
I worked in a jail and saw an inmate light his cigarette with his glasses and the sun.
Where do you find thick clear ice and then work it with your bare hands? If there’s ice, you’re not taking your gloves off to work it. Your fingers would freeze first.
