Fire from Ice Lens Pt 1

I decided to see if I could make a lens out of ice and actually use it to light a fire. I am not the first or last person to attempt it. Rob Bicevskis wrote an excellent article on the topic that can be found at www.wildwoodsurvival.com. Much of the techniques I present in this video were taken from that article. This is part one of a two part series. I wanted to see if this technique could be done with natural ice, natural tinder, and only a Swiss Army knife. The knife I used was my Victorinox Huntsman. This video covers the making of the ice lens.
