Using potassium permanganate to light a fire

Using potassium permanganate to light a fire

Using potassium permanganate to light a fire is one of the ignition methods often discussed in various forums.  Whilst it’s a straightforward technique it isn’t in my fire lighting kit.  In this video I show you how to light a fire using potassium permanganate and glycerin and also discuss why I don’t think it’s entirely practical.

We teach , using potassium permanganate to light a fire, as well as a host of other methods of ignition, on our 1 Day Fire Lighting Course, our as well as on our 2 Day & 5 Day Bushcraft Courses, the IOL Bushcraft Competency Course and also our 2 Day & 5 Day Survival Courses. 

You can see plenty of photos from all of these courses on our Facebook page.
