Your Life Could Depend On These Everyday Items

AA Battery Firestarter

When matches and lighters run out, starting a fire gets exponentially more challenging. Yes, a fire bow can theoretically start a fire, but these are far more difficult to create and use than movies and Boy Scout manuals make them out to be. To start a fire quickly and easily, find an AA battery and a foil gum wrapper. Hold the two ends of the wrapper on each of the batteries terminals, and the current will create enough heat to light the wrapper.
