We used the brillo pads from the kitchen and a battery. I was very inept at doing it so I just lit it from someone's already lit cigarette. The most we ever did with outlets was making little stingers.
One stupid choice as a reckless 18 year old was enough of an experience for me to decide I was never going back there again.
Unfortunately that trespassing was the lowest-class felony so it has made it one hell of a time for me getting a job later in life, with HR policy in most places and the fact it never leaves your record.
I was very fortunate when I first got home. I went to a fairly good, borderline great, engineering school. I was lucky enough to be picked up back in my same field. Once I can get my security clearance back or even just naval base access it'll be better.
