Anybody think this could be considered an "alternative use" for iodine . . . you know, emergency fire starting? <br><br>Or pyrotechnics, explosives, whatever ;-)

Not by me! The smoke alarm went off, my cat is still under the bed and Im missing half an eyebrow. The flash is to quick and to violent. The forestry and park services have a custom of billing people for fire suppression. I was recently offered a small supply of NAPALM. It looks like old jello and obviously works. I'll stick with my matches, lighter, metal match, Sparklite and bow drill blessed by the gnwine cher-0-kee shaman thankyou very much LOL.

It is entirely possible that this could be used for emergency firestarting- magnesium reacts similiarly to aluminum in my experince.<br><br>Anyone not growing back eyebrows want to try this?
