May 18, 2007, Newsletter Issue #66: Hot Chocolate!

Tip of the Week

No, not the kind you drink... While on an overnight hiking excursion, you may need to start a campfire. If you don't have wood and matches, you can start a fire with a chocolate bar and a soda can. Take the foil from the wrapper, place a bit of chocolate on the bottom of the can and rub vigorously. This will shine the bottom of the can. Angle a light (like the sun) onto the can bottom and position the resulting laser of light toward your gathered wood. A fire should start within minutes!
