Ya get a flat PC of river ice, añd shape it & flatten it. Then you use it like a magnifying glass to direct the suns rays onto the tinder to be igñighted...

Yeah, that was it. I had to Google it to remember... It was Anthony Hopkins in them Movie "The Edge". You take a piece of clear ice and rub it in your hands to shape it into a magnifying lens to capture the suns rays and focus them to a pinpoint to ignite some tinder.

I wonder if it really works. I've never cared to get my hands that cold trying to shape some ice that perfectly to see if it would work or not.

Dry ice

 

[Rollo Tamasi]

Dry ice does not get wet and dry at the same time.
Dry ice is wet and eventually dries up.
Good try though.

I use dry ice.when it thaws it draws humidity as the water condenses on it.c02,has no liquid state.it's sold when it's frozen and normally gaseous.it will be on a liquid form under pressure.

Thank you for the scientific report so that I now know better.
Do you want the answer now or do you still want to guess?

A towel or cloth.

No, it's dry ice.

You can use water to make fire, too!

 

[jasonc]

No, it's dry ice.

Lol

I can turn fire into water.

I can turn fire into water.

That would be...potassium chlorate?
A substance which, when you add water, combusts and burns.

I'm pretty sure its potassium chlorate, lol. School was a looong time ago.
Am I right?
