How can I start a fire in the wilderness?

To start a fire in the wilderness, you'll need dry tinder, kindling, and fuel wood. Do you have any materials with you?

I have some dry leaves and small twigs.

Great! Start by making a small pile of dry leaves as your tinder. Then, arrange the twigs around it in a teepee shape.

What if it’s raining?

If it's raining, look for dry materials under trees or use a fire starter like a lighter or matches. You can also create a shelter to keep your fire protected.

How do I keep the fire going once it's started?

Once your fire is going, gradually add larger pieces of wood to maintain it. Make sure to keep the fire well-ventilated.
