Fire has 3 main parts Tinder, Kindling, and Feul All 3 of which have special parameters that you will want them to meet. You don't want a quarter of a stump for Tinder, it just ain't gonna work. so the Kick-start for the whole process;
The tinder, the tinder must be easily lit via lighter, match, or spark. and MUST REMAIN 100% DRY! very very very important, later in the guide, I will show you my personal favorite tinder/firestarter cheap and easy to make just need alittle know-how Dry pine needles, Dry grass, Pine tree sap/pine cones these are just a few do alitle research and find what works best in your area, the internet knows alot of stuff about where you life, or talk to a local Boyscout Leader, very good sources of information.
The kindling, anything small than a pencil is a good refrence, the small dead twigs on the ground to the thinner branches on teh tree, as long as they are dry also, again very important.
The Feul:Now the feul is very widely spaced out, so I will refer to it as light, Medium, and heavy feul for simplisitys sake. Light feul is anything the size of ur finger if u have big hands, if you don't about the size of a big pencil, and not the foot long kind either, Medium feul is wood about the size of your wrist if you small boned, and about the size of half your wrist if your big boned, and heavy fuel is anything bigger than above mentioned, as you can see everything above is measured to your body, because no where you go you always have your body with you. and a good rule of thumb for anything of the above mentioned; if you think you have enough, triple that amount and you will always have enough.
