- Dig a hole with a shovel about half a foot deep.
- Find and put medium sized rocks around the hole.
- Collect smaller twigs and branches and put them beside the hole.
- Now collect some larger branches and put in the pile beside the hole.
- Find Some very dry leaves and grass and put them in the hole.
- Stand the sticks up in the hole in a triangular shape and fill in most of the sides.
- Put the grass and leaves in the triangle.
- Get out your matches.
- Light the matches on the striker on the side of the match box and put the match in the grass in the hole.
- If a little flame starts blow lightly on the on the grass and leaves from 30 centimetre's away from the flame.
- If the fire doesn't start redo steps 9and10.
- If the fire starts and the sticks light on fire add some more small sticks.
- If it is still going start adding the larger sticks and branches.
- Once the fire is going just keep slowly adding more branches, sticks and, logs.
- You can make the fire as big as you want. Just keep putting on larger logs and sticks.
