Campfires are always delighting when you are surrounded by your loved ones and you have this darling chance to lie in the lap of nature and enjoy it to the fullest.
If you are the one who is ready to have fun with the flames and planning to light the campfire without any usage of matches, then you got to explore the different ideas listed below through which you can achieve your desired aim.
Here are some of the ways by which you can obtain the fire without the matches. But before you use these methods, you need to make sure that you have made a tinder nest.
- Make Use of the Coke Can
Take any kind of soft drink can and then paint the bottom with the chocolate. The chocolate film will be the polish and the surface will act as a mirror. The surface is now ready to reflect the rays of the sun to your tinder nest. Just align the surface in such a way that it will ignite the fire in your tinder nest.
- Your Lighter Got Empty? Utilize It Now
You might never have imagined that an empty lighter can be so useful. It will be the saviour in your odd times. It can produce the spark to ignite your camping fire.
- Use Clear Ice as Magnifying Lens
If you have planned to camp in the winter time, then you can take clear ice and use it as a magnifying lens and thereby use it to light-up the fire in your small nest.
- Fill up a Bottle with Water
Since a bottle is transparent in nature, it is suitable for lighting up the fire. Fill it up with water and then use it to reflect the rays of the sun to make up fire in the tinder nest.
- Get Your Old Lenses and Use Them
This is a priceless method to light-up the fire. All you will need to do is get any sort of lens and then focus the lens on a suitable spot and preferably your own tinder nest. But it has a small drawback and that is it can only work when there is sun in the sky.
- Steel Wool and Battery Makes the Perfect Combination
It is very much fun and easy to be tried. Put the battery in one hand and wool in another. Rub the sides of the battery on the wool. Slowly and steadily, the wool will catch fire and you have all you needed! Fire.
- Bow Drill
One of the easy-peasy method since you can easily maintain the speed and pressure which is required to create the fiction for igniting the fire. The pre-requirements are that you will need a bow and socket.
This is all the theoretical knowledge about lighting a fire without using any matches. There are innumerable methods to do this. Get on the ground and explore!
