Thanks Clownface I watched the video and his neck of the woods the temp was 60 or 70 degrees F. Which is about 15 degrees C here. Thats pretty cold for his AO.

While out shopping for the 20 dollar challenge i went to the chemist and purchased Potassium permanganate and Glycerine. I poured some powder onto some cardboard (shameless plug for business

SEE LINK BELOW) then made an imprint with my thumb and poured some glycerine into the hole. By the way, Its raining heavy here this morning and i'm under the awning with the rain and wind pelting down whilst testing this stuff. Anyway, in less than 60 seconds the mix burst into flames. I was caught off guard with how fast it reacted. I'd just finished taking the before shot and BAM up it went.

The guy in the video said you wouldnt have this stuff in your first aid kit! Maybe not but now i will. I now have the means for water purification and gylcerine for other medical conditions with the added bonus of fire starting

Another PROVEN option of fire making added to the tool kit. I'm a happy man today

...if this works for making fire it's certainly an achievement to put under the belt! I'd certainly be trying to perfect that art..

Your last paragraph talks about 'redundancy'- using one item for multiple purposes for efficiency. I was talking to a stockman the other day who was advising a friend on how to cure a gut ache with condies crystals... his doctor wife wasn't so sure. The bloke he advised went to a chemist and the chemist said it would kill the bad but also the good so being a layman and not being able to interpret all this info I might suggest further investigation on the ingestion of pp... but still cool cool as far as progress goes- just saying what I've heard!
