Fire Making: The Forgotten Art of Conjuring Flame with Spark, Tinder, and Skill

Fire Making: The Forgotten Art of Conjuring Flame with Spark, Tinder, and Skill
A Richly Illustrated Guide to Making Fire Without a Lighter

If you ask outdoorsman Daniel Hume for the fastest, most practical way to start a fire, heâ€™ll tell you: Use a match. But he probably wonâ€™t stop there. For Hume, conjuring flame is an art form, and seeking out the old ways is a passion that has led him the world over.

Fire Making is your guide to techniques Hume has learned firsthandâ€”from the San people in Namibia, the Mangyan of the Philippines, and other masters. Youâ€™ll fall in love with the craft of coaxing spark into flame using only handmade tools. Learn about:
Â
- The bow drill, the fire plow, and other traditional fireâ€“starters
- Every type of tinder, from birch bark to fungus
- Overcoming strong winds, freezing cold, and other challenges
- Plus modern fireâ€“making hacks, such as using foil and a battery.
Humeâ€™s crystal clear steps, all helpfully illustrated, make it easy to start and maintain the perfect fire for any needâ€”from quickly boiling a pot of water, to setting up camp . . . to the sheer joy of seeing your efforts rewarded with a blaze of warmth and light.
