 * How to make a tool to get logs**
 * Stone knife. you will need a sharp-edged piece of stone, a chipping tool, and a flaking tool.
 * Rub a battery against a steel wool.(6-volts battery works the best)(dont use new stainless steel wool pads )
 * Use bullets: Remove a bullet from its cartridge and pour half the powder on your tinder. Put the cartridge back in the gun, and fire it at the tinder.
 * Use a magnifying glass or any c//onvex lens// and point it at the tinder.
 * The fire-plow (look bellow) You rub a hardwood shaft against a softer wood base.
 * Use a little magnesium and flint block: Scrape a pile of magnesium shavings on your tinder and strike a spark off the flint.
 * Also, you can make fire by mixing chemicals (hard to find this in the wilderness tho, see second video)(chemicals are 1.potassium permanganate is mixed with glycerin 2.nitrate and zinc 3.sulfuric and potassium permanganate[soaked in acetone make it more flammable] 4.potassium chlorate and sugar [ add sulfuric acid until it ignites]
 * struck a flint(A hard, dark stone which produces spark when struck against steel it makes spark) and steel.

These methods are challenging - practice ahead of time. Practice fire safety, even in emergency situations. Out of control fires are even more lethal if you're already struggling to survive in the wilderness. //**information: http://www.wilderness-survival.net/ www.wikihow.com www.ehow.com pictures from http://www.wilderness-survival.net/ videos from youtube**//.com
