How do I start a fire in the wild without matches?

You can start a fire using several methods, such as the bow drill, hand drill, or flint and steel. Do you have any materials available?

I have some dry grass and sticks. What should I do next?

Great! Gather your dry grass and sticks. Create a small nest with the grass and place it in a clearing. Then, use the sticks to create a friction fire method like the bow drill.

What if I can't get a fire going with that method?

If the bow drill isn't working, try using a fire starter like dry leaves or bark. You can also use a magnifying glass to focus sunlight on your nest.

How can I keep the fire going once I start it?

To keep the fire going, gradually add larger pieces of wood as the fire grows. Make sure to maintain airflow by arranging the wood in a teepee or log cabin structure.
