How to light a fire with a loupe


I generally have a loupe with me when I’m wandering around so that I can look at flowers and insects, I’m becoming evermore fascinated with the miniature world.  But as well as allowing me to look at small things, it gives me a method of ignition.

In this short video I show how to light a fire with a loupe.

We teach how to light a fire with a loupe on our 1 Day2 Day and 5 Day Bushcraft Courses as well as the IOL Bushcraft Competency Award and Certificate.

You can see plenty of photos from all of these courses on our Facebook page.
