Survivalist Tips: How to Start a Fire with Chocolate and a Soda Can.

You can can start a fire with a soda can, chocolate bar, and a towel. Of course you will also need tinder and wood.


1. Rub Chocolate on the bottom of the empty soda can.
2. Wipe the Chocolate off of the can and polish the bottom of the can until it reflects like a mirror.
3. Find a direct ray of sunlight and angle the can so that it will reflect the sunlight on one area.
4. Place your tinder in the spot and hold the can steady until you see smoke.  You can use leaves, sticks, or paper for your tinder.
5. Once you see smoke start to add your wood to build your fire around it.

**WARNING: Do not eat the chocolate after it has touched the aluminum can as the residue may be toxic.
