Saw this on my Facebook page, had to give it a try. Hot damn it works great. Put some 99% rubbing alcohol in a small plastic container, put that container in the stove, put the stove in an old peanut tin with some matches and you have a wicked little stove you can take with you. It had the water in the frying pan bubbling in 30 seconds. Here is how to make it... SO EASY and CHEAP!!!!!!

Just what you want is liquid alcohol in an open can, on fire. I can just see all the hazards that can happen, I'd be putting this idea in the never try list, Hope you never find out why. I'd say it is a very dangerous idea at the best

Get some wetfire packs, very cheap and very good, along with a key chain flint and the saw from you pack, pretty easy to make fire on the hill.
