How do i make a fire in the wilderness?

• Note that fire making tools may be prohibited in certain National Parks and ineffective in rocky alpine terrain.
• Bring some Lighter fluid, two small Bic lighters, a ferro rod, a butane torch, and some matches

• Bring a pocket saw to cut wood

• a ziplock bag with some fire starter, two fatwood sticks, dry grass and shaved wood. Separated fibers of cedar bark are also a good choice.

• A do it yourself alternative is to bang two rocks together to create a sharp edge, which can be used as a knife.

• You then cut and prepare your firemaking stick to make fire, use softer wood rather than hard

• Cut a hearth board to be flat and less than one inch thick, using dry, non-resinous softwood (avoid conifers). Make a divot on the hearth board, then, with downward movements, carve a notch from the edge of the board to the center of the divot using your knife. 

• As a further means you can make a feather stick with a knife. Refer to Wikipedia: "A feather stick (sometimes referred to as a fuzz stick) is a length of wood which has been shaved to produce a cluster of thin curls protruding from the wood. It allows damp wood to be used to start a fire when dry tinder is hard to find."

• Avoid placing all flammable pieces of wood directly on even slightly wet ground. Take care of having a dry ground so to speak.

• Ensure the wood is ready and prepare the campfire site by clearing it of leaves and twigs to prevent the fire from spreading.

• Use a piece of very dry birch bark to gather the ember or dust from under the notch. Use a little stick to fix the birch bark when taking the hearth board away from the loaded birch bark.

• Secure the side of the hearth board by pressing it down; you can use a stick to kneel on, which will clamp the board in place. Ensure the underside of the board is flat to prevent it from moving.

• the firemaking spindle/stick shall not pop through the hole of the notch

• Rotate the firemaking stick with gentle back-and-forth movements, starting from the top of the stick and progressively increasing speed as you move downwardly. Lick your hands to ensure a firm grip on the stick. You produce coal at the bottom of the notch. Downward pressure is important.

• stick the birch bark with the little stick, take away the hearth board, let the coal grow.

 

• Transfer the dust that turns into an ember as a single piece to the tinder bundle (such as the cedar bark fibers or the feather stick). Take a deep breath and blow gently to ignite the ember inside the tinder bundle. Once you have flames, add small twigs to the fire.

• Progress from small to larger twigs to build your fire.

• For cooking with lots of coals, use the parallel log method and spread the coals evenly.

• For heat, light, and signaling, use the teepee method.

• You can collect fatwood by looking for a resinous pine tree or christmas tree. Take a dead branch, from a dead tree, you will have concentration of resin at the base of the branch.

• Fire serves as a morale booster, an effective method for water disinfection, and a signaling tool.
