How to Make Fire
Firemaking is a forgotten skill that everybody should have. The ability to start a fire without using matches or a lighter. Here's a brief look at a few well known techniques that are fun to try:
The Friction Technique.
We all know that rubbing things together makes them warm up and if you have ever watched any of the excellent Ray Mears Bushcraft TV series you will have seen Ray use a variety of friction based techniques. But be warned, the friction based technique can be enormously hard work. But making fire this way can be enormously satisfying.
You will need two pieces of wood, one long straight piece for a spindle and another flat piece as the fireboard. This wood must be bone dry. You need to make a tinder nest from dry grass, wood shavings or other material that catches fire easily (I like cotton wool).
Cut a V shaped notch into the edge of your board and place a piece of bark underneath to catch the burning ember. Make another indentation at the point of the V for the tip of your spindle. You can spin your spindle, which should be about two feet long, using a bow made with string and a bent piece of bendy wood. Loop the bow string around the spindle, place the tip in the indentation and spin the spindle with the bow while applying light pressure (I like to use a flat pebble to push on the end). Hopefully you will soon see wisps of smoke coming from your fireboard as it heats up due to friction. As soon as you see a glowing ember you will want to transfer this to your tinder nest. Then gently blow onto your tinder nest to turn the embers into fire.
Fire Sticks
Once upon a time many people would carry a piece of high carbon steel and flint to make fire. Striking the steel with the flint will create a spark. Todays modern equivalent consists of a rod made of high carbon steel and a hardened steel striker. You can also use the steel blade of a knife.
As for all the other techniques, you will need a dry tinder nest for your spark, but this method will not wear you out like the friction based method.
Using the Sun
We've all used magnifying glasses to scorch things as children. This is another relatively easy way to make fire, if it's sunny. But of course we don't always have a hand magnifying glass in our pockets. You could use a pair of glasses or even make a lens from a condom filled with water.
Electricity
This is a great way to demontrate the power and danger of electricity. To make this work you will need a battery and some steel wool. The best batteries to use for this are the 9V variety. By rubbing the battery contacts on the steel wool it will heat up and begin to burn. Transfer your burning steel wool to your bone dry tinder nest and blow to start the fire. Hey presto, fire!
These firemaking techniques are great to try out when you are next on a family camping trip. Why not include a few fire-making tools with your camping equipment and let your children have a go. But be sure to take plenty of warm outdoor clothing because you might be a little chilly without a fire.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Does steel weaken after holding its maximum weight for too long?
I heard a comparison of two metals once. They said that one could hold its max weight forever without problem, but the other would begin to bend after an extended period of time. Is the metal that bends steel? If not, what is it? (I'm talking about if a steel rod was held horizontally at one end with a weight at the other, not compression strength like in a building frame with the weight pushing down on the support)
Answer:
yes of course, all metals well undergo such thing (even that mentioned to hold it for ever, but for this metal the rate is very very low that is not measureable).
all metals need to be stressed near their "Yield Point" to cause bending or better said "Deformation" (either temporary or permenant), but if this load or stress is kept constant for a significant period of time a phenomenon will take place, it is called "Creep", and it is almost the same meaning of "creeping" (very slow movement), it has to do with the metallic structure relaxing to coope with the applied load, and hence you can deform a metal with a lower load than that required for a direct noticable deformation.
some metals resist this Creep very good when their structure is restricted by the number of possibilities of deformation (a metal with fine crystal structure wil have a greater creep rate than that of a larger crystal structure)
