HOW TO KEEP A BOSTER - make a fire without matches and a lighter in the forest with your own hands

You will need: a flashlight and dry tinder (grass, leaves, moss, birch bark).

What to do:

Disassemble the flashlight for parts.
Remove the reflector (light reflector). It scatters the rays emanating from the lamp. Use the principle of its work the other way around - point at the sun. The surface will collect solar energy and concentrate it in the center of the reflector.

Rub the tinder until fibrous.
Fasten the beam in the center and point it towards the sun.
The heat reflected from the walls will ignite the dried flower particles.
Now the most important thing is to support the fire with pieces of bark or wood chips to ignite.

Pros:

surprise your friends with your wit.

Minuses:

if the sun is shining, but not warm, you will not be able to make a fire.

Method number 2 "Original" - we ignite by means of a chemical reaction

You will need: cotton wool, potassium permanganate, antifreeze.

What to do:

Place a piece of cotton wool on the paper, add a pinch of potassium permanganate and a few drops of automotive antifreeze.
Roll the paper tightly. Within a minute, an oxidative reaction will occur, generating a lot of heat.
When the bundle is on fire, line up shavings or dry grass.

Pros:

super fast and without unnecessary red tape;
"Works" in any weather.

Minuses:

you need a machine and basic knowledge of chemistry.

Hunger is not an aunt, it is especially annoying when something goes wrong. When you are going "on a sortie", do not be too lazy to throw a no-fire cooking system into your backpack. It is lightweight and does not take up much space. If you get hungry, you fill the heating element with water, put the container with food inside and you're done! It is more fun for the satiated and the case in the hands is better argued.

Method number 3 № "Water-efficient" - we make a fire with water

You will need: a transparent bag, water, dry grass.

What to do:

Fill the bag with water.
Lay out the dry grass with a hill and direct a water "lens" to it from the side of the sun at a distance of 1-2 cm. The rays passing through the bag are concentrated in one place. By alternately zooming in and out of the homemade "magnifying glass", you will achieve the maximum concentration in a certain area.
As soon as the grass begins to smolder, fan the heat.
Then add dry bark or brushwood prepared in advance to keep the fire going.

Pros:

you can survive in the forest even without a tourist burner.

Minuses:

when it's cloudy, it won't work.

"Finish off" an empty lighter and you will be on fire. See life hack

Method number 4 "Blacksmith" - getting fire in the old fashioned way

You will need: a nail, a hammer, a tinder.

What to do:

Place the nail on the stone and tap it vigorously with the hammer. In theory, if you hit a nail hard with a hammer, it can ignite tinder. The force transmitted from the hammer to the nail provokes an accelerated movement of the molecules in the metal. The nail is heating up.
The more often and more intense the blows, the higher the temperature of the nail will be.

Use hot metal to smolder dry grass. Fan the light to the full power of your lungs.
Add brushwood in time - the flame will ignite.

Pros:

Warm up well and warm up if it's cold.

Minuses:

not for the faint of heart. The fire will have to wait for a long time - well, oh-very long!

Method number 5 "Jewelry" - we get fire with a light bulb

You will need: a powerful flashlight, pliers, dry grass.

What to do:

Disassemble the lamp and remove the protective glass from the lamp.
Use the pliers to crush the light bulb. The main thing is not to damage the thinnest filament and do not touch the tungsten spring.
Assemble the device and place dried flowers around the filament.
Light the flashlight, the blades will flash.

Pros:

The fastest and most reliable way to start a fire.
Such a "lighter" can be used more than once in any weather. Even without sunshine.

Minuses:

have to sacrifice a flashlight.

Back up yourself on the hike. Firelighters burn in snow and rain, and in strong winds

Method number 6 "Chocolate" - we make flint from sweets

You will need: a bar of chocolate, a can of beer or soda, a napkin.

The concave bottom of the can resembles a flashlight reflector. This means that it can collect and concentrate sunlight. The only problem is that it is matte and reflects poorly. To solve the problem, use chocolate.

What to do:

Polish the bottom with chocolate. The melted mass will cover the aluminum with a gloss.
Catch the sun's rays with a jar and redirect them onto the napkin pieces.
As soon as it starts to smolder, do not yawn - put some dry wood.

Pros:

no need to break things;
improve your skills, pump your wit.

Minuses:

the trick "won't work" in cloudy or rainy weather.

Use waterproof matches to make a fire even in a downpour. Watch the video how to make them

Method number 7 "Warlike" - we carve a spark from a knife

You will need: a stone, a machete, cotton wool or dry grass.

What to do:

Hold a stone and cotton wool in your hand.
Use sharp strokes to strike sparks on the blunt side of the knife blade.
When the tinder is smoldering, fan it to burst into flames. Then toss wood chips, rotten wood or birch bark into the kindling.
