This isn't the smartest idea, but it is surprisingly effective.



Followers of the meteorological seasons are already celebrating spring, and while it might not be that warm out right now in some places, it will be soon. Of course spring means many things, including the beginning of baseball, daylight savings time and many camping seasons across the country.

If you've ever gone camping, especially early in the season when it might be colder and windier than you'd like, you know that starting a fire is essential, and sometimes very difficult. Well, the group of guys in the video above found a solution to this problem, although it isn't exactly the safest idea.

After they built the foundation for a proper campfire, one man decided to give the fire an extra spark to make sure it really started roaring. That spark ended up coming from the back of his Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Within seconds, the motorcycle successfully kickstarts the fire. It's a clever solution, but also a potentially dangerous activity. Motorcycles can catch fire and even blow up — so it's definitely not a good idea to play arond with one near an open flame.
