Inuits in the Arctic traditionally used natural materials like driftwood, moss, and animal dung to build fires, but modern methods have adapted to include the use of lighter materials and modern fire-starting tools. They often rely on dry wood and kindling, supplemented by items like fuel blocks or fire starters for easier ignition in harsh conditions. Additionally, they may utilize portable stoves or heaters for convenience and efficiency, especially in extreme cold. Overall, while traditional techniques remain significant, contemporary practices have incorporated new technologies to enhance fire-building in the Arctic environment.

What are facts about inuit?

Inuits eat Caribou ,seals and WhalesThere is a Eskimo Olympic every yearInuits are also known as EskimosInuit clothing is the warmest on earthThe Inuits' area of habitation included the Arctic shores of the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, the Arctic tundra and the mountainous terrain of the Northern Rockies. They were the first people to settle what is now known as Canada.They were nomadic, using tents for shelter in summer and building snowhouses during winter. The tents were made from caribou or seal skins, and strung over driftwood poles. The snowhouses, commonly known as igloos, were dome-shaped structures made from solid blocks of ice and with the gaps filled in with packed snow. Inuits could build an igloo in half an hour.Around half of the Inuits lived in the western Arctic and were the Inuvialuit people. Because they had access to trees, they built permanent "log and sod" shelters for the winter. These were actually subterranean houses, with the main floor elow ground level, which provided effective insulation.Inuit relied on hunting for their food. They noted for both sea mammals and land mammals. Most of the meat was eaten raw and fresh as there was not enough fuel for fires and cooking. Some was dried and kept for lat, and some was frozen to preserve it. They had little access to vegetation.Inuit tools were made out of materials such as teeth and bone, ivory, antlers and horns.inuit lived in family groups, and up to ten or so families would live in a community.
