Fire Making The Forgotten Art of Conjuring Flame with Spark, Tinder, and Skill by Daniel Hume


Fire Making The Forgotten Art of Conjuring Flame with Spark, Tinder, and Skill by Daniel Hume retails for $19.95 from Workman Publishing. If you ask outdoorsman Daniel Hume for the fastest, most practical way to start a fire, he’ll tell you: Use a match. But he probably won’t stop there. For Hume, conjuring flame is an art form, and seeking out the old ways is a passion that has led him the world over. Fire Making is your guide to techniques Hume has learned firsthand from the San people in Namibia, the Mangyan of the Philippines, and other masters. You’ll fall in love with the craft of coaxing spark into flame using only handmade tools.
 Learn about:
The bow drill, the fire plow, and other traditional fire starters
Every type of tinder, from birch bark to fungus
Overcoming strong winds, freezing cold, and other challenges
Plus modern fire–making hacks, such as using foil and a battery.

Hume’s crystal clear steps, all helpfully illustrated, make it easy to start and maintain the perfect fire for any need from quickly boiling a pot of water, to setting up camp to the sheer joy of seeing your efforts rewarded with a blaze of warmth and light.
My Opinion: when I think of fire making and I immediately think of the show Survivor and how they had to be out in the wilderness and had to learn how to make fire policy couldn’t eat or drink water or anything so I found this book to be very interesting as I myself would never be able to make a fire if I was out in the wild on my own so reading this book was very helpful as I learned about different ways you can create a spark to get a fire going and how to keep it going, the pictures are very illustrated to give you a perfect idea or what you need to look for and how to do it. I learned a great deal from this book.
