Materials-
Chocolate Bar, Preferably no nuts, caramel, etc
Pop Can
Tinder
Sunny Day
1.Get the chocolate, and shine the the bottom of the can that curves inward to make a half-dome.If you did this with out shining it, it wouldnt reflect the suns light clearly.
2.Gather your tinder, and hold the shined can at an angle so the sun is reflecting at the tinder.In a few seconds(or minutes depending on the suns strength that day) you should have a little fire going.Keep it going by adding wood as needed.
This is meant to be used when you lose your lighter and didnt bring a magnifying glass.Please rate fairly.

Unfortunatle, I don’t have any chocolate bars lying around, and to buy some would be stupid when I could buy a lighter for possibly less money and save time and effort. Very effective idea though.
