There's no doubt about it, it's really frustrating trying to get a friction fire going when your lighter is out of fuel and your matches are wet. Or, it may just be a cloudy day and your magnifying glass is useless. When you have additional bug out tasks to accomplish, who has time to waste?
If this sounds like a situation you've been through or don't want to go through, then that sounds like a bad day. However, if you've gone through a chemistry class in high school then you're in luck. You can whip up a nice little fire with some sugar and potassium permanganate. Luckily you should be able to find both in your home without going out to spend money.
This is an easy survival hack that utilizes the chemical nature of two ingredients. When it's cloudy or your matches are wet it'll start a flame that's hot enough to ignite the tinder you gathered while bugging out.
This is an easy fire starting method that you'll be glad you learned. Watch how you can make it happen after the break on this mind-blowing video.

LOL…yep, carrying my lab with me everywhere…bullshit.
Potassium permanganate can also purify water, but don’t mix up this concoction with sugar and potassium nitrate, cuz that’s a great smoke bomb
Household items?? Yeah, everyone has that$#%&!@*just lying around. SMH. Cool trick though.
Idea….not hack

Anyone sent to ransom wear sites where they say your phone is infected and want $$?
The. Potassium permaginate will sterilize water also some killer stuff
You wanna be prepared? Carry some matches with you.
