How do you make a fire with flint?

* Flint

* Steel

Instructions:

1. Prepare your tinder by gathering dry leaves, grass, or small pieces of wood.

2. Place the tinder in a small pile on the ground.

Tips for making a fire with flint:

* Use a sharp piece of flint. A dull flint will be less likely to create a spark.

* Strike the flint against the steel with force. The harder you strike the flint, the more likely you are to create a spark.

* Be patient. It may take several tries before you are able to create a spark.

* Once you have a spark, be sure to blow on it gently. This will help to fan the flame and get it started.

* Start with small pieces of firewood. This will help to prevent the fire from getting too big too quickly.

* Keep the fire away from flammable objects. This will help to prevent the fire from spreading.

With practice, you will be able to make a fire with flint easily and quickly.
