mr.d Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 How to Light a Campfire Without a Match No matches? No problem. Using some items you may already have at your campsite, like a soda can and some chocolate, you can get a fire going. Just be sure you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I like to practice Bushcraft skills and have started fire many different ways.

WMJ77 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I watched the show....4 fat guys in the woods.....they started a fire with 2 flat stones , a tampon, and wood/ ash/ coal/dust....it was interesting same with a battery from your flashlight and the foil from a gum wrapper did you know....corn chips, potato chips or anything like that, that is fried in oil will burn to help get a fire going (you need a flame for this one) x-tra fine steel wool and a 9 v battery does great too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavender Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Let's see, I'm stuck out in the woods with no matches and not a house in sight but I happen to have an empty soda can and some chocolate. Plus I have sufficient sunlight and dry tinder. Two things that are sort of hard to find in the woods but moving on and assuming that I'm somewhere where both are present. What are the odds that I haven't eaten the chocolate? Slightly under 0. Maybe about a -5. Bon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fire starting method is totally unacceptable!!! Don't waste ANY chocolate, especially DARK chocolate!!! tlakergirl and Buster99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
