How do you start a fire with fire wood?

Answer 1

before striking a match you must build the mound. Ball up a few pieces of newspaper and put on the grate. stack the smallest sticks on top of the newspaper. put a decent sized log to the front and another log in the rear. stack medium sized sticks spanning the two logs.Light the newspaper. As the fire burns down slowly move the front log toward the back. The fire needs air so don't jam things too tightly. Enjoy.

Answer 2

I assume that you have neither a lighter or a match. There are also magnesium fire starters, which are "bars" of magnesium which you strike with a nail or rock to create sparks to start a fire. Or, you can use a magnifying glass or sometimes other pieces of glass (such as the bottom of a soda bottle) to concentrate the sun's rays onto a single point to heat an object to the point it begins burning. Another option is friction, often using a piece of hard wood and a piece of softer wood.

There are hundreds of ways to start a fire without matches. Swedish Firesteel or BlastMatch are very popular. However, the most reliable way to do it without tools or supplies is by using a bow drill. You don't need a knife to make one and can use your shoelace for the bow string. It usually takes 30 mins to an hour the first time you use one. But, it can save your life if you get lost.

Answer 3

Fire is made by the sun, if you want to go camping, and make a fire from wood, get a bunch of wood and you only do this in the daytime before the sun is gone. And pack one or two magnifying glasses. Put the magnifying glass in front of the sun from were you are. And do this when it is very hot outside. Then the sun will shine through, and it will heat up the wood and then you have to wait awhile and then, fire will be on the wood. THATS HOW YOU MAKE FIRE.

Answer 4

There are dozens of ways to make fire without matches, lighters, or anything we would consider a 'fire-making' tool. So many that I cannot possibly explain them all in this one space. But I can start you off in the right direction for further research. First of all, it depends on your resources. You can use a convex lens (like a magnifying glass) or a parabolic lens (like in a flashlight) to concentrate a beam of light on some tinder. You can generate a spark from a battery by using metal to connect the positive and negative ends (like a car battery and jumper cables). A very clever way to do this is by touching a metal scouring pad to a 9v battery. Most camping and outdoor stores carry some sort of spark generating device such as a ferro rod, magnesium block, or flint striker. If you have no modern supplies, you have to go old school. Most primitive fire methods involve friction, such as the bow drill, the fire plow, the hand drill, and the fire saw. You can also use your body heat to melt a clear piece of ice into a convex lens. These are just a few common techniques. There are many more fire-making methods as well as countless variations.

Answer 5

One way is too put some steel wool on top of a piece of cotton or wool and touch a 10000 volt battery to the steel wool. There may be a few sparks, so take safety precautions.
