How to Light a Match With Just a Rubber Band (And a Little Practice)

You don't need a matchbox to get lit. 

With one lowly office supply and some amateur archery skills you can light a match. 

Tie a rubber band around the matches, pull the match back and fire for fire. 

In one instance, the match stays nestled in its rubber trap — but in others it appears to fling free.

The question remains as to whether the other match is also lit across the room — so maybe don't try this in a dry desert or at a gas station. 

Or maybe just invest in a lighter.
