Ways I create combustion
on: March 23, 2016, 01:46:47 AM
Or how I start fires ;) :D I like fire in general and I like how to start them different ways :tu: I was out Saturday to burn a few boxes and a pile of small pine trees and brush and thought I would bring a few different ways to make fire out ;) This isn't my whole fire kit but nonetheless a fire kit :cheers: I have a fresnel lens a swedish firesteel and a few other similar items that didn't get to come out an play that day but what I did bring out was more than enough to do the job asked of them ;)



Here is my old faithful Zippo that I have had for nearly 18 years (I have several but this is one I personally bought brand new and have had it the whole time) I use a Sack-up to keep the lighter in as they are silicon coated when new and I thought that it might prevent at least some of the evaporation of lighter fluid. Whether this works or not I have no idea but I have been doing it so long that the two seem to just go together now :D



Couple of Bic lighters that I have around the small one rides in my pocket sometimes and the other stays in my truck door :tu:



Next onto my matches. I bought these matches only recently as I was running low on my other box.  Previously I had the red headed strike anywhere matches and they always lite fine but these new greenheaded ones seem to be a little better. I don't know if this is really the case or the other ones were getting a little old :think: The match safe I have had for years and got it at a Army surplus store. It holds matches is all I know :D



Now onto my Blastmatch :2tu: I have only had this for maybe 6 months but I am very pleased with it.  A little tinder or a piece of waded up paper and with this little beauty you have fire :o Since I haven't burnt anything really this year I decided I would use the Blastmatch for the task at hand.  I got a piece of paper and put it under some of the stuff I was going to burn and viola the sparks went flying and fire was made :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh



This pic was about midway through after I had burnt the few boxes and the brush pile was already thrown in and I had a very good bed of coals.  It was maybe high forties or low fifties by the time I had the fire to this point and the warmth felt really good :cheers:

Nice pics! I usually tend to pack way too much fire-making equipment myself when I head out to the woods  :whistle:

I've contemplated getting a blastmatch for a while, and your writing on it makes me really want to get one! Damn, this site is full of enablers haha

It is actually in my backyard ::) :D I always burn in that particular spot because the soil is very sandy right there and no grass, so very little chance of it spreading on the ground.  Also we had rain in the forecast for the evening but instead it turned off cold and we got about an inch of snow almost :ahhh I try to always watch weather for incoming rain before I decide to burn.  That pile of brush set for almost a month before I decided to burn it :tu:

On the note of the Blastmatch yes it is a very easy way to start a fire via sparks only :cheers: I have way more consistencies with it over a firesteel :tu: Of course with practice you can get the same with the firesteel but you can do this one handed and with very little effort plus you only have to have it by itself and don't need a separate striker. Even if the plastic broke you still have a substantial firesteel to get sparks from as well if you do have something to use as a striker  :salute:

Well I was gonna try and get some more fire wood from a tree that has fallen in an inconspicuous spot in the yard but couldn't get my stupid chain saw started :rant: That's why I like axes :D no motor :cheers: it is a bit to big of a tree for me to buck into pieces with an axe though ::) :whistle: It is also an oak tree :ahhh So I will have to work on the chain saw and see if I can get it going :( Probably stupid ethanol gas stopping up the carburetor cause it is hard to find anywhere around here that sells pure gas >:( I am gonna put it off until  next week sometime though as I tend to throw mechanical things when I can't get them to start or get them to run :poh: :bnghd: :D

Or how I start fires ;) :D I like fire in general and I like how to start them different ways :tu: I was out Saturday to burn a few boxes and a pile of small pine trees and brush and thought I would bring a few different ways to make fire out ;) This isn't my whole fire kit but nonetheless a fire kit :cheers: I have a fresnel lens a swedish firesteel and a few other similar items that didn't get to come out an play that day but what I did bring out was more than enough to do the job asked of them ;)



Here is my old faithful Zippo that I have had for nearly 18 years (I have several but this is one I personally bought brand new and have had it the whole time) I use a Sack-up to keep the lighter in as they are silicon coated when new and I thought that it might prevent at least some of the evaporation of lighter fluid. Whether this works or not I have no idea but I have been doing it so long that the two seem to just go together now :D



Couple of Bic lighters that I have around the small one rides in my pocket sometimes and the other stays in my truck door :tu:



Next onto my matches. I bought these matches only recently as I was running low on my other box.  Previously I had the red headed strike anywhere matches and they always lite fine but these new greenheaded ones seem to be a little better. I don't know if this is really the case or the other ones were getting a little old :think: The match safe I have had for years and got it at a Army surplus store. It holds matches is all I know :D



Now onto my Blastmatch :2tu: I have only had this for maybe 6 months but I am very pleased with it.  A little tinder or a piece of waded up paper and with this little beauty you have fire :o Since I haven't burnt anything really this year I decided I would use the Blastmatch for the task at hand.  I got a piece of paper and put it under some of the stuff I was going to burn and viola the sparks went flying and fire was made :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh



This pic was about midway through after I had burnt the few boxes and the brush pile was already thrown in and I had a very good bed of coals.  It was maybe high forties or low fifties by the time I had the fire to this point and the warmth felt really good :cheers:


nice :cheers: :cheers:  :worthless:
