Over the years I have become a student of several survival skills. One of these is building a fire without matches. I have managed to do this many ways using the following:- Flint and steel
- Magnifying glass
- A Flashlight
- Steel wool and car battery
- Bow and dowel
- Car Headlight
- Bic, Zippo, etc
is only $5.45 from Amazon
. Perfect for tossing in the trunk of your car, Bug Out Bag or glove box.--Know any other ways I should try to make fire? I have already tried the Coke can and Chocolate method to no avail.

Fire Piston . Google the term for links to buy or make them .
Darn. I was going to say Fire Piston first.
I'll tell you what I keep in my 'Go!' bag (along with other fire starting stuff)-
A 3 pack of Bic Lighters.
Cheap, easy to use, and they work. As far as I know, they don't go bad.
I tried a fire piston and never got it to work. It's owner said you have to have the exact right material to make it work. If you have to be that premeditated, a few Bic lighters are easier.
Is that the same as a bow and drill from boy scouts?
Have you tried the Fire Plough method?
Have you seen the little "peanut" and "split pea" lighters from County Comm? I keep a split pea on my keyring all the time!
