    Glycerin and potassium permanganate (KMNO4). Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizing agent and glycerin is an easily oxidized substance. Make an indention in the potassium permanganate and place a couple of drops of glycerin in the depression. You don't have to use a lot to get an exothermic reaction. Oh, yea, stand back after you drop the glycerin in.

    Here's a little video for you:

    Here's a tutorial on the fire saw. I haven't tried it but it looks like some practice would be well in order before you needed it.

    Here's the thread on PP and glycerin:
