  • This isn't looking good at all. What was supposed to be an easy day hike, is quickly turning

  • into a life-threatening situation. One of your top priorities is to get a fire going

  • before nightfall, but all you've got with you is a bag lunch and an empty water bottle.

  • This is a challenge that's going to require a little creativity. You're going to have

  • to light this fire, with your pee!

  • For this project you're gonna need some of that special yellow liquid, and the timing

  • is great because with all that water you drank, nature is calling. You can use a container

  • like your water bottle to collect as much as possible. Now, that's really not a lot,

  • and it looks like you're still a little dehydrated, but you're gonna have to make it work.

  • When you flip the bottle over and attempt the water bottle trick from a previous video,

  • it doesn't seem to be working. And that's because you don't have enough fluid in your

  • bottle. You try removing the label to see if that helps, but it's not making much of

  • a difference. Ok, time to check your lunch bag to see what other resources you have.

  • There's a bag of celery sticks that could be useful. But here's something even better

  • you wrapped your apple with a plastic wrap. Perfect! Carefully remove the wrapper, making

  • sure not to rip it, and now you're gonna need some rocks. When you place these rocks

  • in a circle, they've formed a crude concave mold. The rocks help form the wrapper into

  • a bowl shape, and now you can add the liquid. When it's filled to the edges, grab all the

  • sides, and hold them together at the top, making this into a little liquid pouch. Twisting

  • this pouch, while holding at the top, helps remove any air and seals the liquid inside.

  • When you twist the excess plastic around your middle finger like a ring, then wrap it around

  • the base to hold it in place, the pressure can be adjusted, and you've got yourself a

  • great little liquid lens that's easy to use! It's magnifying very well, so time to test

  • it out on some tinder. One of the unneeded pages from your map should work perfectly,

  • so focus the sunlight on the darkest ink you can find, because this will absorb the heat.

  • It's incredible how quickly this starts smoking, and where there's smoke, there's a hope of

  • fire! A hole is burning in the paper now, and when it's about the size of a quarter

  • it's pretty well self sustaining. Without wasting any time, try adding layers of dry

  • grass, and blowing gently to add some air. It's getting hot, and smoking quite a bit,

  • so just blow a little stronger, and success! You've got a flame. Now get that to a place

  • you can build your fire up, and it's finished! You just lit a fire with your pee. Well there's

  • a little trick most people will never have to use, but might be good to know just in

  • case. If you liked this project, perhaps you'll like some of my others. Check them out at
