Fire! I bid you to burn...!

[gazzawazza]

On survival programmes they usually show participants how to light a fire. I actually know quite a few methods but haven't tried them all. So, my question is, what methods do you know actually work, ie you've tried them successfully?

[Pinotage]

Box of matches, and a can of petrol usually gives success.

1 9 Volt PP3 battery and a ball of steel wool. Hold the battery to the wool and it'll go red hot.

I just turn the knob on the side til it clicks. Wait til the room is warm then turn it the other way

Agree with lisaj but your lucky to see steel sheep these days. :-)

I summon up bolts of lightening its actually quicker than a microvawe for jacket potatoes

I once set alight my trainers with a pair of glasses and the sun.
