Fire Safety

Though fire can be very safe if treated correctly, carelessness, irresponsibility or lack of knowledge when dealing with fire can lead to disastrous results. Location The location of your fire is a very important, and often overlooked, aspect of fire safety. There are two main considerations: * Whether the fire will catch light to or damage anything else * Whether the fire is dangerous for people nearby. Do not light a fire in a place near to people that are engaged in an acti… Continue

Magnifying Glass Method - Fire Lighting

The magnifying glass method is a method of fire lighting that involves focusing the energy in sunlight onto flammable material, to raise its temperature and cause it to ignite. Contrary to common belief, the focal length or power of the lens (magnifying glass) used does not affect how much heat is generated, only the size of the lens matters. Method You should first be familiar with the article on fire lighting to understand the basic principles and terminology of this method.… Continue

Bow and Drill Method

What you need is a bow, a spindle, a hearth board, and ember pan, a string and a bearing block. The bow is about 60-70 cm long and made of any wood available. The string is tied to the bow, so it is tight, but not too tight. It cannot be loose. The best string is a nylon or leather one, mine is of nylon. Minimum thickness is 4-5 mm, anything thinner will break, just as my first ones did. The hearth board is usually made of a soft wood and the spindle of hard wood. Hearth board must be split so… Continue

Teepee Fire

A teepee fire is a conical fire, which outwardly resemble a teepee (only the internal pole structure). However, unlike a teepee, it should not have too large a hole in the centre (this is a common reason for the fire failing). It characteristically gives off a lot of light and radiant heat (with tall flames), and generally most of the fuel on the fire is burning or will catch light if left. Uses The teepee fire is often used to start a fire (and the form is then changed), or to p… Continue

This post deals with the lighting of open fires. Information on lighting stoves can be found in my post about Lighting a Portable Stove. Fire lighting is the skill of making fire. Though seemingly a simple topic, it can be a surprisingly rich skill to master given the wide variety of relevant factors that can change in each situation. Basic Principles A fire is the reaction between some fuel and air, in the presence of heat (for a more detailed explanation see fire). The main pr… Continue

Fire

Types of Fire The fires commonly encoutered by outdoor people [surely someone can phrase that better!] can be categorised in many ways. Probably the most useful way to broadly group the fires that are intentionaly lit is into either Open Fires, fires in Portable Stoves or, for in between cases, Portable Fires (for example portable barbeques). For more information on unintentionally lit fires see Fire Safety. Uses for Fires Warmth Probably the most obvious use for a… Continue

It seems to have all of the necessary… Continue
