Day 60: How to start Fire with Foil & Battery

Skill: Fire from Everyday Items

Fire means warmth, light, safety, and the ability to cook. If you’ve got a battery and foil, you’ve got a flame.

What It Does

  • Ignites tinder without matches or a lighter

  • Uses items you already carry

  • Works fast — even in emergencies

How to Do It

  1. Grab a Battery
    AA, AAA, 9V anything small and charged.

  2. Find Foil
    Gum wrapper foil works best. Tin foil works too ccut it into a thin strip.

  3. Shape the Strip
    Make it into an hourglass shape (narrow in the middle). That’s where it’ll get hottest.

  4. Touch the Ends to the Battery
    Hold one end to the positive terminal, the other to the negative.

  5. Light Tinder
    The middle will glow and ignite. Touch it to dry grass, cotton, or bark shavings.

Tips

  • Prep your tinder before making the spark.

  • The foil burns fast be ready.

  • Practice it now so you’re fast when it counts.
