Page | 1 © All Rights Reserved 2018 EasierScouting.com Fire Techs Competition Manual© Preparing a Tinder Nest 1. Before you start a fire you will need a properly prepared ‘Tinder Nest’ this can mean the difference between the warm glow of success and cold sting of failure with fire! A ‘Tinder Nest’ can consist of soft dried natural materials for example, Dry grass, Cattail fluff, Birch tree bark and Dandelion clock Dry Grass The head of the Cattail after Birch Tree Bark Dandelion Clock it has turned dark brown will have “fluff” inside, which is excellent tinder 2. Before you light your tinder nest you need to make sure you have plenty kindling ready to place on top otherwise the fire will quickly go out 3. For kindling you can use materials such as... Cedar bark, dry leaves of any type and small twigs. Kindling is just as important as tinder 4. Some kindling can be used as tinder if properly prepared. By cutting and shredding materials they become thinner and more able to ignite with a simple spark 5. Find a flat surface that is not moist 6. Take the natural materials you’ve been able to find and mold it in your hands into a nest-like bundle, about the size of your palm. This will be the base layer of the tinder nest. Make sure that your nest is not too compact, to allow the flow of oxygen which is crucial for ignition 7. Put any fine materials into the center of your tinder nest 8. At this stage you would lightly place some of your kindling and light your tinder but for the purpose of our ‘Fire Lighting’ experiments we are just going to be lighting the tinder Page | 2 © All Rights Reserved 2018 EasierScouting.com Instant Ways to Lighting a Fire Method - Lighter Tools/Materials • Lighter with Spark wheel • Tinder Nest Warning Do not allow your lighter to continuously burn for more than two minutes, as it will over heat and get broken or might explode. Directions 1. Hold the lighter using your dominant hand. Using your thumb, roll the spark wheel and land your thumb with a quick push on the ignition button Method - Match Sticks with Match Box Tools/Materials • Matches in match box • Tinder nest Warning Hold the lit match sticks in a slightly downward angle to maintain the fire burning. But be careful not to burn your hands. Directions 1. Hold the match firmly at midpoint with your index finger and thumb 2. Press and drag the match along the striker in a quick manner, to produce friction and create fire. Method - Match Sticks Only Tools/Materials • Matches Directions 1. Strike a Rock - Look for a dry rock with slightly rough surface 2. Sandpaper - You can use sandpaper to light your match stick 3. Try your Zip - Zips are often rough, which means that it can be used to strike and light a match stick. Just be cautious because you might burn your clothes, or body parts. Make sure you are not wearing the clothing at the time of striking the match. Page | 3 © All Rights Reserved 2018 EasierScouting.com Bender Ways to Lighting a Fire (you will need the sun for this method) Method - Magnifying Glass Tools/Materials • Magnifying glass • Tinder nest, you can also use paper Warning Never try to expose hands under a light beam caused by a magnifying glass, because they will burn. Directions 1. Place the tinder nest under the sun 2. Hold the magnifying glass horizontally under the sun. Make sure that the face of the lens is somehow at a right angle to the sun light 3. You will notice a beam of light passing through the lens. Tilt the lens slowly until the beam of light narrows and becomes as little as a dot. You can hold the magnifying glass higher or lower to focus the light 4. When the beam of light is small enough, it means that the heat is concentrated, thus starting a smoke on the paper. Stay on this position until the tinder burns. You will need to blow on the smoke to get it going Method - Reading Glass Tools/Materials • Reading glasses, water • Tinder nest, you can also use paper Warning You will need to remove the lens from its frame, so be careful as the lens might crack and wound you. NOTE : If you’re using a reading glass of someone who is near-sighted, you won’t be able to start a fire. Use the glass of a far-sighted person, as it bends the light inwards to a focal point. Directions 1. Place the tinder nest under the sun 2. Hold the lens horizontally under the sun. Make sure that the face of the lens is somehow at a right angle to the sun light 3. Notice that compared to a magnifying glass which is biconvex (curved on both sides), a reading glass is only curved on one side. Add water on the other side to make the lens work like a magnifying glass 4. Tilt the lens slowly until the beam of light narrows and becomes as little as a dot. You can hold the reading glass higher or lower to focus the light 5. When the beam of light is small enough, it means that the heat is concentrated, thus starting a smoke on the tinder. Stay on this position until the paper burns. 6. You can also try creating fire without water in the lens. This procedure will take longer though Page | 4 © All Rights Reserved 2018 EasierScouting.com Method - Balloon Tools/Materials • Balloons • Water, Water Bottle • Tinder Nest Warning You will be dealing with water in this method. Be careful not to spill water on your tinder nest. Directions 1. Place the tinder nest under the sun 2. Fill the bottle with water 3. Put the balloon on the bottle’s mouth, and turn the bottle upside down to fill the balloon 4. Fill the balloon until it is stretched and spherical as it can be 5. Tie the balloon closed and hold it above the tinder nest 6. Make sure that the outer surface is dry, and that there is no water dripping down from the balloon because it might make the tinder nest wet 7. Tilt the lens slowly until the beam of light narrows and becomes as little as a dot. You can hold the balloon higher or lower to focus the light 8. When the beam of light is small enough, it means that the heat is concentrated, thus starting a smoke on the tinder. Stay on this position until the tinder burns 9. Sometimes, when the balloon is large, the beam light passing through it appears to be distorted. Remember that the beam of light should be round. To fix this, you can gently squeeze the balloon to make the beam of light round. Mind-blowing Ways to Lighting a Fire In a survival situation, you may not have the tools used in these methods, but they are good techniques to know if you have. Method - Bacon Grease Tools/Materials • Bacon grease (this method is more effective when the grease becomes hard) • Paper cup • Tissue papers Warning Heated grease can cause severe burns on skin. So be careful. Page | 5 © All Rights Reserved 2018 EasierScouting.com Directions 1. Put the tissues in the cup, and pour the grease on it 2. Allow it to cool down and harden 3. You can now use it as a candle because the tissue will act as the wick, and the grease will act as the wax. Its fire can last up to 30 minutes. Or you can use this as the fire starter Method – Soda Can and Chocolate Tools/Materials • Soft drinks can • Chocolate bar (you can also use toothpaste in place of the chocolate bar) • Tinder nest Warning This method might harm the eyes. You can use sun glasses to protect your eyes. Do not eat the chocolate used in this activity as it might get contaminated by aluminum. Directions 1. Polish the bottom of the can using the chocolate bar until the surface looks like a mirror (if you don’t have a cloth, use the chocolate bar wrapper to hold the chocolate while polishing) 2. Take a piece of tinder, and place it about 1” from the centre of the bottom of the can 3.

  • In the Autumn 2011 Edition of the Quiver I Wrote an Article Touching on the Topic of Survival As It Applies to the Bowhunter
    In the Autumn 2011 edition of The Quiver I wrote an article touching on the topic of survival as it applies to the bowhunter. In this article I want to talk about fire specifically and the different types of firestarters and techniques available. Fire is an important element in a survival situation as it provides heat for warmth, drying clothes or cooking as well as a psychological boost and if you’re hunting in a spot where you are one of the prey species it can keep predators away as well. There are many ways to start a fire; some ways relatively easy and some that would only be used as a last resort. There are pros and cons to most of these techniques. The most obvious tool for starting a fire is a match. While this is a great way to start a fire in your fireplace or fire pit I personally don’t like to carry matches in my pack or on my person. They are hard to keep dry and you are limited to one fire per match IF you can light a one match fire every time. It would be easy to run out of matches in a hurry as you are limited in how many you could reasonably carry. A Bic lighter or one of the more expensive windproof lighters is a slightly better choice for the bowhunter to carry. They are easy to use, easy to carry, fairly compact, and last for a reasonable amount of “lights”. They don’t work well when wet but can be dried out fairly easily.

  • On the Evolution of Human Fire Use
    ON THE EVOLUTION OF HUMAN FIRE USE by Christopher Hugh Parker A dissertation submitted to the faculty of The University of Utah in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology The University of Utah May 2015 Copyright © Christopher Hugh Parker 2015 All Rights Reserved The University of Utah Graduate School STATEMENT OF DISSERTATION APPROVAL The dissertation of Christopher Hugh Parker has been approved by the following supervisory committee members: Kristen Hawkes , Chair 04/22/2014 Date Approved James F. O’Connell , Member 04/23/2014 Date Approved Henry Harpending , Member 04/23/2014 Date Approved Andrea Brunelle , Member 04/23/2014 Date Approved Rebecca Bliege Bird , Member Date Approved and by Leslie A. Knapp , Chair/Dean of the Department/College/School of Anthropology and by David B. Kieda, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT Humans are unique in their capacity to create, control, and maintain fire. The evolutionary importance of this behavioral characteristic is widely recognized, but the steps by which members of our genus came to use fire and the timing of this behavioral adaptation remain largely unknown. These issues are, in part, addressed in the following pages, which are organized as three separate but interrelated papers. The first paper, entitled “Beyond Firestick Farming: The Effects of Aboriginal Burning on Economically Important Plant Foods in Australia’s Western Desert,” examines the effect of landscape burning techniques employed by Martu Aboriginal Australians on traditionally important plant foods in the arid Western Desert ecosystem. The questions of how and why the relationship between landscape burning and plant food exploitation evolved are also addressed and contextualized within prehistoric demographic changes indicated by regional archaeological data.

  • Low-Impact Living Initiative
    firecraft what is it? It's starting and managing fire, which requires fuel, oxygen and ignition. The more natural methods usually progress from a spark to an ember to a flame in fine, dry material (tinder), to small, thin pieces of wood (kindling) and then to firewood. Early humans collected embers from forest fires, lightning strikes and even volcanic activity. Archaeological evidence puts the first use of fire between 200-400,000 years ago – a time that corresponds to a change in human physique consistent with food being cooked - e.g. smaller stomachs and jaws. The first evidence of people starting fires is from around 10,000 years ago. Here are some ways to start a fire. Friction: rubbing things together to create friction Sitting around a fire has been a relaxing, that generates heat and produces embers. An comforting and community-building activity for example is a bow-drill, but any kind of friction will many millennia. work – e.g. a fire-plough, involving a hardwood stick moving in a groove in a piece of softwood. what are the benefits? Percussion: striking things together to make From an environmental perspective, the more sparks – e.g. flint and steel. The sharpness of the natural the method the better. For example, flint creates sparks - tiny shards of hot steel. strikers, fire pistons or lenses don’t need fossil Compression: fire pistons are little cylinders fuels or phosphorus, which require the highly- containing a small amount of tinder, with a piston destructive oil and chemical industries, and that is pushed hard into the cylinder to compress friction methods don’t require the mining, factories the air in it, which raises pressure and and roads required to manufacture anything at all.

  • August 2015 the LEARNING CIRCLE: NOTES, THOUGHTS & PROJECTS
    EARTH SKILLS NEWS www.earthskills.com © Jim Lowery August 2015 THE LEARNING CIRCLE: NOTES, THOUGHTS & PROJECTS I. Improve your bow drill firemaking Have you struggled with getting a bow drill fire consistently? Do you wonder what’s wrong with your apparatus or technique? Would you like to be able to try some more advanced tricks that will make firemaking easier for you? The bow drill is, in my view, the most practical of all the primitive firemaking techniques. You can get fire with many kinds of woods in many habitats, without bringing anything with you—even cordage or a knife. The hand drill is simpler, but in most locations only two or three woods at most can be used for the hand drill and hearth, and that only using very well practiced technique and strength. However I have made bow drill fires with 28 woods in my area. When we teach bow drill firemaking in our classes, we stress that mastering the technique is the most important factor. Many students, both men and women, need practice and especially the wrist and arm strength that goes with it, but if the technique is correct, success will come with time and practice. On the other hand, bad habits die slowly and so in this article I want to offer some trouble-shooting, a few reminders based on the mistakes we see most commonly with students, and some more advanced tips. (A review of the bow drill apparatus and technique can be found in your notes from our Wilderness Skills class, in Tom Brown, Jr.’s Field Guide to Wilderness Survival, and Larry Dean Olson’s Outdoor Survival Skills.
