  • 13 Ways to Start a Fire. Homo Ignius
    13 Ways to Start a Fire. Homo ignius Modern humans have used fire for half the time they have existed, and gathered around managed campfires for at least the last 700,000 years. Fire enabled humans to manage landscapes, make food more digestible (fueling increases in brain size) and promoted social interaction (possibly leading to language development). Evidence of pierced shells and twine making from 120,000 years ago implies that the requirements for fire making (as well as management) were available, even though the devices have long turned to dust. Preliminaries Safety. Fire is a dangerous thing. Avoid pain, disfigurement, property loss and potential bankrupting lawsuits by making sure your workspace is uncluttered and free from unexpected accelerants. Prepare a hearth by scraping a hole in the ground or making a circle of rocks. Have your fuel ready, but not too close. Have a handy means of smothering the fire if things get out of control - a shovel, blanket, water or green branches. Tinder and fuel. You will need to have a bed of tinder waiting for any spark you produce. Charcloth, resting on a nest of well separated fibres of sisal rope, dry grass or shredded dry leaves works well. Prepare the fire properly in your hearth, with small pieces of dry twig or stick surrounded by increasingly larger bits of wood. Building a central tipi of small sticks will give a ready receptacle for a blazing tinder ball. Charcloth tinder Charcloth is easily made in advance using scraps of pure cotton fabric (knitted material like an old t-shirt works best).

  • Redwood Bark House the CIMCC Native Makers Program Was Funded by a Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians
    Native Maker Program Lesson Plan Redwood Bark House The CIMCC Native Makers Program was funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. CIMCC | 5250 Aero Drive | Santa Rosa, CA 95403 | 707-579-3004 | [email protected] | cimcc.org Native Maker Program Lesson Plan Summary: This activity in geometry and environmentalism concerning California tribal structures. Goal: Students will learn about the diversity of housing among California tribes and the traditional and ecological knowledge used by tribes in designing these structures. Students will use geometric and ecological lessons to create a model of a redwood bark house. Material: Ruler Scissors Tape Pictures of Redwood Bark Houses Redwood Bark House Redwood bark houses, also known as kotchas, were made by the Coastal Miwok and used by the Yurok in various ways. California Indians oriented, or positioned, their traditional houses in relation to the sun. They understood the sun’s movement through a day and a year — its cyclical, seasonal passages across the sky. They made its constancy and energy work for them. Houses were placed to admit the welcome warmth of the low winter sun as well as to block chill winds. In summer, orientation was reversed, limiting exposure to hot afternoon sun and admitting fresh air. The Sierra Miwok sited bark slab houses on sunlit leeward slopes, above cold ravines but below windswept ridges. In the mountains, the eastern side of the cone for both the Maidu and the Miwok houses is angled sharply to prevent snow accumulation. The placement of buildings in relation to the sun, wind, and landscape affects daily and seasonal heat gain and loss.

  • Basic Fire Starting for Cooking & Survival
    Presented By: Jon Sherman • Any number of emergencies can lead to you relying on your emergency supplies. • Some may be for a brief period of time or limited in scope. − Power outage with no social unrest. − Temporary shipping strike resulting in a few day food or fuel shortage. • Others may require you to rely exclusively on your emergency supplies for short or long periods. • Imagine any scenario that includes a less than short-term power outage or requiring you to leave your home. • Relying on your food storage is one thing when you are at home and all the utilities are working…when utilities are not available, preparing meals or keeping warm become much more difficult. • Your cooking and heating needs will rely on you being able to provide these needs, at home or in the wild, without gas or electricity. • In most cases, this means being able to start a fire! • Your 90-day food supply, if planned properly, will consist of food that needs little to no cooking or refrigeration. • This will allow you to eat even if you can’t cook at all. • Most of your food supply, however, will require preparation. • To do this, you will need to store the necessary, fuel, fire starting supplies and know how to start and efficiently use a cooking fire. • Fire needs 3 elements to exist: 1. Oxygen (at least 16%, normal air contains 21%) 2. Heat 3. Fuel • Removal of any of these three elements from an existing fire will cause it to extinguish. o For example; covering it with sand and removing its access to oxygen.

    FIRE-MAKING APPARATUS IN THE U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM. By W ALTERLHOUGII. Man in his originals seems to be a thing unarmed and naked, and unable to help itself, as needing t9.e aid of many things; therefore PrometheuA makes haste to find out fire, which suppediates and yields comfort and help in a manner to all hUlIHtlL wants and necessities; so that if the soul be the form of forms, and the hand be the instrument of instruments, fire deserves well to be called the SUCCOl' of stlccors, or the help of helps, that infinite ways afford aid and assistance to all l:tbors and the mechanical arts, and to the science'> themselvcs.-BAco~.- Wi8dom of the ancients, Promethe!ls, 'Vorks, vol. iiL Lond., 1825, p. 72. There is a prevalent belief that to make fire by rubbing two pieces of wood is very difficnlt. It is not so; the writer has repeatedly ma<le fire in thirty seconds by the twirling sticks and in five seconds with the bow drill. Many travelers relate that they have seen various peoples make fire Wit.ll sticks of wood. The most common way, by twirling one stick upon another is well described by Pere I..Jatitan with reference to the Hurons and 1ro<} uois. They take two pieces of cedar wood, dry amI light ; they hold one piece firmly down with the knee and in a cavity which they have made with a beaver-tooth or with the point of a knife on the edgo of 'One of these pieces of wood which is fiat amI a little larger, they insert the other piece which iA ronud and pointed and turn and press down with so much rapidity and violence that the material of the wood agi­ titted with vehemence falls otfin It fain of fire by means of a crack or little canal which leaps from the cavity over a match [slow match].

  • The Physics of Fire by Friction
    University of Dayton eCommons Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Department of Electrical and Computer Publications Engineering 3-11-2021 The Physics of Fire by Friction Bradley D. Duncan Follow this and additional works at: https://ecommons.udayton.edu/ece_fac_pub Part of the Physics Commons The Physics of Fire by Friction by Bradley D. Duncan, Ph.D. January, 2021 1. Introduction I made my first bow drill kit, and lit my first friction fire, at Ransburg Scout Reservation in June, 2016. I was there with my Boy Scout troop (Troop 516, Centerville, OH) for our annual summer camp adventure. Ransburg is, of course, the modern day home of Firecrafter [1]. Our troop has a rich, decade’s long history of active participation in the Firecrafter program and I’d been watching our scouts pursue the various rank requirements with increasing interest since I joined the troop as an assistant Scoutmaster in early 2014. I was especially intrigued by the almost mystical way our Firecrafters and Firecrafter candidates could conjure smoke and fire by merely “rubbing sticks together.” My obvious interest eventually led to me being invited to join the organization as an adult member of the Firecrafter Alumni Association. Those nominated to become Firecrafters as adults are actually not required to submit to any of the grueling ordeals experienced by youth candidates. Nevertheless, I felt duty and honor bound to try and master all the requirements of the three Scout ranks; Camper, Woodsman and Firecrafter. My fascination with the idea of making fire by friction made this quest especially exciting! Four and a half years later I am still fascinated by it all.
