Geocache Description:


This geocache was part of the GeoVenture Challenge: The Survival Test on August 25, 2012. The weekend event was hosted

by the Manitoba Geocaching association. Most of the 35 Geocaches placed during this challenge featured a survival type

question. An example of that question and the information that inspired that question may be below.

The entire series was designed to be a park and grab power series to be published after the event. Enjoy!

Q21: True or False
You can create fire using water and a piece of plastic wrap.

Answer: True!

The basic idea is to take a piece of plastic wrap (Saran or otherwise) and form it into a "pocket", i.e. bring the four corners together. The pocket is then filled with water. The corners are then grouped together and twisted until the whole assembly resembles a sphere. This creates a makeshift lens.It was pretty easy to start a fire using cedar bark tinder.Using tinder fungus would of course made things even easier.This first picture shows the basic setup. Notice the upside-down foot in the "lens."
