My mom has one she uses for reading labels at the store and such. It has a lens that slides in and out (prevents scratches) and a small light.

Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

Yes, we need more skills/preparedness challenges here on WhiteBlaze.
While I do own the item linked to, admittedly, I've never started a fire with it. However, as a dumbass preteen, I did melt/burn just about everything I could using a set of plastic Fresnel lens magnifiers (a free gift, courtesy of World Book Encyclopedia), so I know it's possible.
I'm endorsing the product as a light-weight magnifier, not as a fire starter. Best Glide ASE is a reputable company. I've purchased a few of their wilderness/aviation survival kits over the years.
WOO, I doubt I'll be making a video, but if you're up to it, I'll send one of the magnifiers your way. PM me if you're interested
Yeah, that's a good idea, Chin. I have a cheap plastic one in my map bag all the time. I have reading glasses in my shirt pocket, but the magnifying glass is a back-up. And when you go on to hike the CDT and use the Ley maps, you'll need both together.

1+ on the pocket fresnel lens idea. You can find them at Wally World in the Optics Dept. I think they come in a 3 pack for cheap. I usually tear out a page or two of my data book and carry it in a ziplock for easy reference during the day. The pocket fresnel fits nicely inside too.
