There are several ways to light fires using improvised means that are successfully used by people in our time. We offer you four options for initiating the combustion process.

Method one: using a mobile battery and foil


To implement this option, perform the following steps:
Remove the battery from the phone.

    Tip #1 is probably a good one.
    Tip No. 2, reach out and knock - you like that
    Tip No. 3: engage in sadomasochism yourself
    Tip No. 4, of course, everyone happens to have a “Krona” in their backpack. I think the little orphan has an iPhone, a tablet, and a watch, which means I’ll die. (And I remembered that I have this in multimeter. (You can’t go into the forest without him.)).

    In real life, just take two lighters and matches, and if it’s really that bad, it’s easier to rub a stick against a stick with a piece of cotton wool, moss, dry grass...
