Here, many outdoor players have ever envisioned using a lighting stick to make a fire when they first camp outdoors?
During the initial operation of the campfire, it is often necessary to start from the beginning of the fire.
For example, some professional campers, outdoor fire is more inclined to their own hands-on ability, and the use of lighters, matches and other ignition equipment will indeed make professional campers less interesting. After all, it is wilderness camping, and it is the fun of wild camping to pay attention to the spirit of "self-sufficiency, self-reliance, self-reliance, and strict self-discipline".
Even now, when camping, we are just settled on using lighters, and most of us, like me, have ever used a lighter to make a fire?
Walking through the natural environment, you can collect some materials for making fires along the way, and these materials play a great role in making fires, which can be lit faster.
I don't know if you are watching self-media platforms such as Station B, Douyin and Xiaohongshu, whether you are attracted by the wild gameplay of professional camping players in the outdoor "hardcore".
This time, Xiaobian collected some plants from the campsite and near the home, and selected some plants suitable for fire with a lighting stick, so that everyone could spend less money and zero cost of fire "accelerant".
If you haven't used a lighter stick to make a fire, take a chance to experience the use of a lighter stick to make a fire and feel the charm of outdoor survival skills.
The so-called miscanthus is poetic, autumn is the right time to appreciate the mango, miscanthus is the autumn poetry. In terms of life, it is a very useful plant.
As autumn thickens, the ears of miscanthus become fluffy and can be simply lit with a lighting stick.
Basically they are group-grown, and a large number of miscanthus will be gathered in one place, which is relatively convenient to collect.
This is a nice natural ignition agent that can get a lot of harvest in a limited amount of time.
Judging from that very characteristic appearance, many people will use cat tail grass to tease the cats in the family when they are young, right?
Cat's tail grass, like miscanthus, is an easily ignited plant that can often be used as a fire ignition agent.
However, cattail grasses are smaller than miscanthus and grow in small numbers in one place. And it also has the disadvantage of burning up immediately.
It takes a little effort to collect a large amount of cat's tail grass as an ignition agent, and if you can't find miscanthus, you can try to find it.
Wherever there are trees growing, there will be leaves falling around.
Deciduous leaves are not as simple as miscanthus and cattail grasses, but dead leaves that are completely drained of water can be ignited with a lighting stick to cause sparks to ignite.
Dead leaves can be used even for broad-leaved trees to make fires, but it is best to be coniferous trees, such as fir and cypress.
As long as it catches fire slightly, it will burn in an instant.
The area around the tree will be covered with some leaves, or branches, after a long period of time, the leaves and branches will become very dry under the wind and sun, the branches and leaves will become very dry, a slight break will break, these are suitable for fire.
Sometimes, when you take a closer look at the trunk, you will find peeling bark on the trunk. Among them, the bark of fir, pine, birch and other trees is a very good natural accelerant.
In particular, the bark of the fir tree is characterized by its fibrous appearance, and if it is scraped with a knife or broken by hand, a large amount of bark can be directly ignited with a lighting stick.
If you add some bark to a burning campfire, the flame will burn vigorously in no time. One of the advantages of bark is that it can handle everything from fire to fire.
Collect the bark, preferably choose to fall off and fall on the ground, never take it off directly on the trunk.
Pine cones have a cute appearance and are often used as ornaments and interior ornaments.
However, camping enthusiasts view the fallen pine cones with different values.
Once the pine cone is on fire, it will burn very fiercely, and to a certain extent, it will continue to burn for a long time, so it is very good as an accelerant and is relatively simple to operate.
Pine trees are generally widely distributed, and in the autumn, a large number of pine cones will fall, and it is almost impossible to pick them up.
Choose from which the umbrella is larger.
Pine cone ignition is very difficult, so it is recommended to use it with flammable miscanthus and dead leaves.
When collecting plants suitable for making fires, it should not be done blindly.
Note the following 3 points:
Choose a dry material
Do not over-collect
・There are also places where fallen leaves and branches cannot be collected
Regarding the first "choose something dry", this is the main point related to the difficulty of catching a fire.
The drier it is, the easier it is to ignite, so choose a good degree of drying, depending on the appearance and feel.
Regarding the second point, "Do not over-collect", it also includes visual problems.
If you are using naturally grown plants for entertainment, you should maintain some moderation.
Even falling leaves and bark are present in the natural cycle. Please don't forget your respect for nature.
The third "There are places where fallen leaves and branches cannot be collected!" I'm afraid many people don't know it, but this is a super important point.
It is a matter of course not to casually enter other people's private land, but also to pay attention to the national environmental protection park.
In both cases, in areas designated as "specially protected areas", even fallen leaves and branches are prohibited from being collected.
If you are worried about whether your place is a national park or a specially protected area, you can search online through your mobile phone.
The above is to pay attention to the things, in nature to find plants that can make fires is still very interesting.
Don't rely on convenient tools such as lighters, isn't it good to try to feel the value of hard-earned fire?
