Alternative Method of Starting a Fire
Needed an alternative way of fire starting in an emergency. I like the option of having at least three methods of getting a fire started. If you have prepped for an emergency and have pre-made tinder material, starting a fire is usually fairly easy. But if you will be using tinder you find in the outdoors, your method of lighting the tinder will likely depend on the type of tinder collected. Plan to distribute some of these to friends who are preppers also. Can also serve as an alternative to broken glasses!

Fresnel Magnifiers
Most magnifying glasses and Fresnels have magnifications of 3x or less. These are 5x. It takes about 5x to start a fire unless you're in direct sunlight in the tropics. I found this out the hard way in the Scouts. So, almost all others are worthless for the task. These are excellent.

Good Quality
Good quality and fair price. My eyes need help now, so I stash these everywhere as a backup to reading glasses. Fire starting is nice bonus.

great tool to carry everyday.
I've not tried to start a fire, when the sun comes out again I will but the weather isn't helping. But it does a great job reading the mice-type people use to fit mandatory warnings and directions in the smallest area possible.

Excellent Fresnel lens
This small but potent Fresnel lens is of fine quality, and of course, compact size. It is a great addition to all BOGs and survival kits. Added benefit...it is a great magnifier when you need a close look at almost anything!

Highest power pocket size fresnel I found
High magnification, small, lightweight, inexpensive. Nothing bad to say about these

Reusable solar fire starting
These are a tiny and light (pun) package that can be used to make fire on any sunny day. With a steady hand and something flammable (paper, charcloth, leaves, etc...) flame is easy to achieve. The lens fits easily in the bottom an Altoids container, with the plastic cover it is a little too big, unless the edge of the cover is folded. Folding the cover edge does not fold, or hurt, the lens.

Another option in your Kit.
These compact fresnel len's are 5x power, and work fantastic to create an ember on a sunny day, and that saves us from using other sources that will eventually have to be replaced. Using the magnifacation of the sun is a free resource, so why not use it. Every kit need's to have one of these fresnel len's encluded. I even keep one in my wallet as a back-up. Buy 4/5, you'll be glad you did!
