Light a match and fart.
douse yourself in kerosene and light a match.
a lighter
Grab two ice cubes, rub them together to cause friction and heat. May take up to 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,鈥?ice cubes. Knock yourself out.
A bottle of camping fuel and some matches. I know from experience.
Look for a Boy Scout manual, used at Salvation Army thrift shop or Goodwill, and they teach you how. It takes practice.



As a practical matter, I used to break off a small piece of an artificial fire log, and if it was rainy, and the Boy Scouts were cold, I whipped out that small piece, which is sort of wax and sawdust, and used if for a fast start.



If it was like 20 below zero, I would take small cans sold at sporting goods stores, and light it, it was a fast start. I just build a fire over it after I lit it, sacrificing it to the cause, and let the can and all burn up.



But, Boy Scouts for advancement have to light fires with matches, not gas; not paraffin; not Coleman fuel; not fire logs. it is part of the Scout training plan to develop leadership and confidence in the woods.
pi-roe's know the answer.
Ya can't start a fire...



Ya can't start a fire without a spark...
