So… I was thinking about alternative ways to start the fire. So I know that Potassium permanganate and antifreeze will act together and created spontaneous combustion. So obvious way would be to carry a vial of antifreeze and vial of Potassium permanganate. But I wanted to take it a step further. I would take glass tubing that is easy to seal (about one inch). I would seal one end with epoxy or just melt the ends shot over burner. I would pour antifreeze into it. Seal another end. I will take Potassium permanganate and crush it not into powder but fine crystals. Now I take my sealed tube and dip it into wax or simple glue, than roll the vial in the crystals. After everything dries I wrap cotton fibers around it or jam it into a predrilled hollow tampon. Now in order to make fire I just collect dry tinder and break the vial and leave it on top. It works on the similar principle as ammonia vials used to gain somebody’s consciousness. So what do you guys think?
