Superglue on a cotton bud or cotton ball will actually ignite

On one of those 'hacks' on youtube a foreign chappie showed how to light a fire with a cotton bud and superglue. In case you are out in the wilderness and need to light a fire

I would think that if you are out in the wilderness you'd not have superglue with you but better fire lighting equipment, like matches, a cigarette/ pipe lighter or even an iron fire striker. If not, you deserve to die and be eaten by dingoes / vultures / crows / hyenas / rats

i didn't know it was a fire starter but i do carry a small tube of it in my first aid kit for gluing wounds closed if needed. Good info i gotta test it now.

We also have the ability to make fire from two pieces of wood, man has enjoyed that luxury for 100's of thousands of years   Although I do carry a flame thrower in the boot of my car ....just in case, you never know when you have to make a cup of coffee .
