Hi, i am trying to learn how to make a fire with a stick, little plank, nest, and leaf under the plank. What i have seen is that in your plank, you have to make a little whole on the edge, that is a smaller whole than your stick, and just role it through while a ash falls on the leaf, and then put it in the nest, and lightly blow on it, and put it under the other pile of sticks to make a fire. Is that the right whay, or is there another whay?? with only using the role stick mothing.

Without going to great length, here's a web site to check out: wikihow.com/Start-a-Fire-With-Sticks

Interesting reading (I'm a camper) ☺

Price: $19.99 $5.75

Magnesium shaving edge.
Sparking insert.
Government issue.

Pick something else besides the will to survive.

After the will to survive I think fire making is the most imortant, why? well:

Fire can keep you warm

Fire can be used to purify water and cook food

Fire can boost morale

Fire can be used to signal rescuers

Fire can be used to scare away dangerous animals
Sorry about the grammar error.

Shelter.

You can have fire all you want, but exposure can kill you quickly, and fire cannot withstand heavy rain, snow, or wind.

Example: If a person were to start a fire in one place and need to travel to another to make shelter, how would one keep that ember burning for hours to be re-lit at another?

you make what is called a fire bundle it is a combination of tightly packed kindling such as dry grass small twigs and if you can find it spanish moss or some bark from a paper birch you bundle it all together tightly and wrap it with some string or what ever you can find to cinch it tight stick one end in fire till it catches glow and it will hold embers for along time.

You need to know how to FIND water; it isn't always as easy as stumbling into a river or lake!

In order of importance for actual SURVIVAL:
Find Water -- a person can die of dehydration in only 3 days; you can live for up to a month without food, even while walking 20 miles each day.

Fire -- to cook food/purify water, to act as a beacon for anyone searching for you, and TO STAY WARM. Wet clothing, especially modern synthetics, can be useless for keeping you warm...

Shelter -- you need a place to stay dry/warm. NEVER wander around, hoping to be found; more people die because they will not stay in ONE place...

Find Food Source -- you will need to eat, if you wish to live long enough to be found.

For the list of things to learn to do: MAKE TRAPS, i.e., snares and dead-falls. Rabbits and squirrels are good eating, and fairly easily trapped. Also, fish traps are easy to make/use. It is not enough to know how to simply set a trap -- you must first learn how to make the trap.

Radios are useless, if not equiped with a transmitter (unless all you want is to get information about the "outside world"...) -- and the "crude radio" most often does not include a transmitter. A transmitter-receiver combination of some kind is required if you wish to talk with other people over the radio.

Also to learn: How to make/use signaling devices such as mirrors. If the batteries in the radio or flashlight go dead -- and there is every chance they will -- those items will be more than useless.

There is a lot more -- more than there is room here to list. And it is always best to learn survival skills BEFORE you need them. If you wait until you are in "survival mode" (lost, injured and in direct risk of dying), it may be too late.
