Pioneers often started fires using methods such as friction, striking flint and steel, or using a bow drill. They would create a spark by rubbing two pieces of wood together or striking metal against flint to ignite tinder, which could be dry grass, leaves, or bark. Once a small flame was established, they would carefully add larger sticks and logs to build up the fire. This skill was crucial for cooking, warmth, and protection in their daily lives.
