Using the Fire Starter

- Shape the tinder bundle into a bird’s nest-like structure.
- Hold the magnifier perpendicular to the sun and focus the beam on a single spot in the center of the tinder bundle, approximately 7 inches away.
- Check that there are no obstructions blocking the direct light before focusing on the spot.
- Once smoke and embers form, lightly blow on the embers, ensuring not to blow too hard to avoid extinguishing them.
- Be patient as the process of igniting the fire can take a few seconds to minutes.
- As the ember grows, continue to provide oxygen to feed the ember until the fire ignites.
