Show TRAIL TALK By "River Jack" I, one time, fought a fire among old paper piles that was set by a bottle. Yes, the sun's rays through the bottom glass or curved sides of a bottle may help you light a fire in an emergency. emer-gency. The lens from your flash light or a magnifying glass has long been known for their ability abili-ty to concentrate the sun's rays and set a fire. Eye glass lens, glass watch crystals, are helpful for starting fires. Two watch . crystals placed together with water between will produce startling start-ling results. In freezing weather a piece of clear ice, flat on one surface and rounded on the other, oth-er, by heat from the palm of the hand will produce an effective effect-ive instrument to be used as the magnifying glass. A watch crystal crys-tal filled with water and allowed to freeze will work effectively also. River Jack hopes you will never nev-er meet an emergency that will require you to use these methods, but it would be well to know how, "just in case". |
