DAY 2: FIRE SCIENCE LAws…

MY DEFENSIVE FLASHLIGHT…

I’M PUTTING ON A MASSIVE DISCOUNT GRAB YOURS ABOVE.

Fire science: Fire science, why does it even matter? Have you ever watched a Boy Scout trying to light a green tree on fire with a lighter? After a few minutes they have a black stick, a halfway full Bic lighter and no fire. I have, why doesn't it work? Well, the answer is fire science.

So let's talk a little bit about it.

Fire Science

Fire isn’t magic—it’s a formula.

And if you don’t understand it, you’ll waste lighters, energy, and time.

The Fire Triangle

Every fire needs:

  • Heat – Sparks, friction, or flame

  • Fuel – Dry wood, tinder, gas

  • Oxygen – Airflow around the fire

Take away any one—and the fire dies.

What’s Actually Burning?

  • Fire burns gas, not wood

  • Heat turns wood into gas

  • The gas mixes with oxygen and creates the flame

  • That’s why flames hover just above the wood—not touching it

Why Fires Fail

  • Wet wood steals heat and kills ignition

  • No airflow? No fire—oxygen gets cut off

  • Too much wood on top? You suffocate the flame

Pro Tips

  • Build fires off the ground—oxygen flows better

  • Use a log cabin or teepee structure for air space

  • Only use dead, dry, finely processed wood

Bottom Line

Fire is science, not guesswork.

Understand the triangle, control the elements, and your fires will always light.
