How to make a fire without matches<\/h2>\n

To light a fire in the forest using matches or a lighter is a standard matter. And what if in a situation where you need to kindle a fire, you have no matches or lighters. It becomes necessary to light a fire without them. This can be done. How to light a fire without matches? There are several ways to do this.<\/p>\n

Building a fire with a lens<\/h3>\n

Everyone knows that passing through the lens, the sun beam is capable of kindling a fire. Moreover, the fire is formed much faster than with the help of friction with sticks. However, there are two conditions for this method – the presence of the sun and the presence of a lens. As a lens, you can try using glasses, a piece of glass, ideally the bottom of a glass bottle.<\/p>\n

So, we collect tinder from dry branches, moss, etc. We take the lens, tilt it so that the sunbeam is focused on the smallest possible surface of it and put the tinder down under it. And then, as the fire flares up, we put branches, bark, firewood.<\/p>\n

If you couldn't find glass, then ice can be used as a lens in the winter forest. You can freeze drinking water, water from a reservoir, melted snow – the main thing is that the ice is transparent. The ice block should be about 5 centimeters thick. Polish the ice with your hands, ideally it should be shaped like a lens – narrow at the edges and thickened in the center, and try using it in the same way as with a regular lens.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Also, as an improvised lens, you can use a plastic bag or plastic bottle filled with water. But again, the package, the bottle, and the water must be absolutely clean and transparent. Direct the sun's rays through a container of water at the tinder and wait for smoke.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

In all cases of making fire, the main thing is that you understand the principle of its occurrence, both in the case of friction and in the case of a lens. And knowing how and in what conditions a spark appears, you will be able to navigate the situation and possibly use other available means.<\/p>\n

Tin can mirror<\/h3>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

The bottom of a beer can is a concave mirror that can focus the sun's rays, if polished it can be used to make fire.<\/p>\n

Blacksmith way<\/h3>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

If you hit the nail with a hammer for 3 minutes while turning it, then you can light a cigarette from the nail, respectively, and the tinder can be set on fire.<\/p>\n

Flint carving<\/h3>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

A piece of steel, preferably hardened, is suitable as a chair. And with flint it is heavier, even though this flint is lying on the road. Soft rocks will not give a spark, you need to find a very hard stone.<\/p>\n

Usually, such stones resemble glass of a dull, or even transparent appearance. It is impossible to knock out a spark from a rounded stone; the pebble must be split and a spark must be struck from a sharp edge. Try a few stones for a spark and take the sparkling one.<\/p>\n

The tinder must be very dry, it must be collected from fine wood fibers, cotton socks are suitable, the cotton-like fluff of plants ignites from the slightest spark, carve in a windless place, it is recommended to keep the tinder over flint.<\/p>\n

Rubbing the rope against a dry stick<\/h3>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

A pine stick, there is a split in it, rubbing into it, put it so that there is space under the stick. A rope is needed, preferably from natural fibers, attach pieces of wood at the ends, like a chain saw. And, accordingly, saw, Shura. Saw with great pressure in quick short strokes. Literally at the count of “ten” it starts to smoke. All that remains is to fan the fire.<\/p>\n

Rubbing a stick against another stick<\/h3>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

In a dry, soft wood plank, make a groove into which you want to insert a hard wood stick at a 45-degree angle. Pressing on the stick from above, drive it along the groove of the lower board, at the extreme point the abraded material will collect, after a while the solid stick will pick up the desired temperature. Puffs of smoke will appear first. Then you can observe how the chocolate-colored wood powder begins to accumulate. Individual particles of this powder, carried away by the rapid movement, are thrown away further. You can clearly see them falling, smoking, although no sparks are visible.<\/p>\n

The seat of combustion occurs where hot powder accumulates in a heap, where air flows freely and supports combustion.<\/p>\n

The best materials are pine and beech. It is not recommended to use linden and aspen for this purpose.<\/p>\n
