Now With Just A Few Items You May Have Already, You Can Start A Fire Quickly

#1 Here's How To Light A Fire In The Wild With Just A Battery And Some Foil

We've all found ourselves in a situation where we need to start a fire but don't have matches or a lighter handy. Maybe you got lost in the woods, were being tested as a Scout, or just ran out of matches. Either way, knowing what to do could mean the difference between being a bit colder without a cozy fire...or worse.

#2 Roll Up A Piece Of Tissue Or A Paper Plate

#3 Next, Insert The Paper Under Some Dry Brush Or Kindling

#4 From Here You Will Only Need 2 Things: Tin Foil (Or candy/gum wrapper) And Any Sized Battery

#5 Tear Off A 1 Inch Piece Of Foil And Insert It Slightly Into The Paper Ball

#6 If you have anything Battery Operated, Like A Flashlight, Remove The Battery

#7 Use A strip Left Over From The Foil Or Gum Wrapper And Connect It To Each End Of The Battery With Your Thumbs

#8 Touch The Foil From The Battery To The Foil In The Paper And VOILA! You Have FIRE!

#9 TIP: Make Sure Your Foil Strips Are Not Too Wide.

Odds are that you have all those items with you, especially if your on a camping trip or picnic, so you should be set if worse comes to worst.
