How to Make Fire Without a Lighter or Matches
Firemaking is a forgotten skill that everybody should have. The ability to start a fire without using a lighter or box of matches. Here's a brief look at a few well known techniques that are fun to try:
The Friction Technique.
We all know that rubbing things together makes them warm up and if you have ever watched any of the excellent Ray Mears Bushcraft TV series you will have seen Ray use a variety of friction based techniques. Be warned, these are not easy and you're likely to wear yourself out in the process. But making fire this way can be enormously satisfying.
You will need two pieces of wood, one to act as a fireboard and another as the spindle. It is important that the wood is completely bone dry. You need to make a tinder nest from dry grass, wood shavings or other material that catches fire easily (I like cotton wool).
Cut a V shaped notch in your fireboard and place some bark under the notch to catch the smouldering ember. Make another indentation at the point of the V for the tip of your spindle. You can use a bow to spin your spindle nice and fast to create a lot of friction. Loop the bow string around the spindle, place the tip in the indentation and spin the spindle with the bow while applying light pressure (I like to use a flat pebble to push on the end). Hopefully you will soon see wisps of smoke coming from your fireboard. Once you have created a burning ember, transfer this to your tinder nest using a piece of bark. Then gently blow to make fire.
Fire Sticks
Once upon a time people would carry a piece of high carbon steel and flint to make fire. The flint would be struck against the steel to create a spark. These days you can find excellent firesteels consisting of a high carbon steel rod and hardened steel striker. You can also use the steel blade of a knife.
As for other fire-making methods you need a nice dry tinder nest for your spark, but this method is much easier than the friction based method described above.
Using the Sun
Everybody remembers using magnifying glasses to scorch things as children. This is another weil known way to make fire but of course it doesn't work during the night. However, we don't all carry magnifying glasses with us wherever we go. You could use a pair of glasses or even make a lens from a condom filled with water.
Using Electricity
This is a great way to demonstrate to children the power and the danger of electricity. To make this work you will need a battery and some steel wool. The best batteries to use for this are the 9V variety. Rubbing the battery contacts on the wire wool will make it heat up and begin to burn. Transfer your burning steel wool to your dry tinder nest and blow to ingnite. Hey presto, fire!
These firemaking techniques are great to try out when you are next on a family camping trip. Why not include a few fire-making tools with your camping equipment and let your children have a go. But be sure to take plenty of warm outdoor clothing because you might be a little chilly without a fire.
