HOW TO START FIRE WITH WATER

SUPPLIES
Piece of bark, or plate
Tinder
Dry grass
Small sticks
Lint, optional
Plastic bag
water

INSTRUCTIONS
Collect from your surroundings a piece of bark or something to start the fire on. Make tinder from the bark by crushing it with stones or any heavy object to make it fine.
Collect dry grass, or anything that would catch fire easily. Have small sticks that will work as kindling.
Place a small amount (½ teaspoon) of tinder on your platter.
Fill the plastic bag with water and twist enough where the plastic will bulge and create a tight round sphere.
Place the water ball over the tinder and find the distance at which it creates the strongest concentration of sunlight.
With a steady hand and patience, hold the water ball until you notice the tinder burning. This is just the beginning, DON’T STOP!
Stay for another couple of minutes until the spot is smoldering hot.
Once the tinder is hot and white then set it aside, and keep it smoking by feeding it more tinder.
In the meantime create your fire bundle using sticks and grass.
Drop the hot tinder into the bundle and fold it into the grass.
You will see smoke rising and give it a steady blow. The tinder will ignite the surrounding grass and you have FIRE!
Please please please be safe and responsible when creating any fire.
