If you ever need to light a fire, and you do not have any aids or lighter, do not despair my friends. All you need is a lemon, a few wires, clips and copper nails, and some iron wool. The North Survival YouTube channel has made an interesting DIY video which shows you how to make a fire with the help of a lemon, an advice for survival which is definitely good to know.

Of all the tricks for survival which are available on the internet, this is definitely the most unusual. We are all familiar with the well-being of lemon in the diet, but just what a lemon can do for you, you will see in the following video.

Let’s say, if you are in the wilderness and are happy to light a fire, but you do not have matches or a lighter, then this life hack can be very helpful.

Today it’s really easy how to make a fire, as there are at our disposal a number of lighters, matches, and various accelerants, but what has this young man managed to do with a lemon and a couple of nails is far more interesting than to start a fire with a barbecue lighter. Clearly, this is not the most practical way to roast kebabs and steaks over a piece of lemon, but experiments like this give us a completely new insight into the wonderful and bizarre world of science.
