We've shown you how to make a fire with compressed air, with a cell phone battery, some dryer lint, even a bag of doritos, but when you're out camping or lost in the wilderness, you may not have any of that stuff with you. You may, however, find some ice, and that's just as good as anything else we've mentioned.

If you've ever used a pair of glasses or a lens to start a fire or create a hot spot, you understand the principle. It's pretty simple, and the video above shows you how to build your fire from just about any piece of ice. You'll need to work the ice a bit into something manageable and polished so you can get the light through it, but once you do, it's not too hard to set some kindling aflame.
Of course, if you're headed out camping, you can pack the gear you need to start a fire ahead of time, but if you're ever caught without it, this method could help. Of course, if you have resources available, we've shown you how to build a better fire already. What are some of your favorite unorthodox methods for lighting a fire?
