Of course most people have lighters and matches, but these here are some examples of how to start a fire when you either run out of fluid/matches or in a rush you forgot to pack them.
for these operations to work you must first have some tinder or a flammable substance like cotton balls, birds nest, etc to get the fire going.
1. Brillo pad and a 9volt battery:
place the Brillo in you flammable object mentioned above.
touch the 9volt battery to the Brillo pad.
the Brillo should arch the battery enough to start your fire.
2. a AA battery and a staple:
at the negative end of the battery, right below the edge you'll see a ring, cut the plastic around the ring and remove the plastic from that point.
you should see the 2 round pieces (the negative end and right beneath it) wedge a knife or something in between these 2 pieces and separate them, just a little bit mind you, just enough to get your staple in them.
as soon as you do, the staple should get really hot and possibly spark.
hit your flammable material (mentioned above) with it to start your fire.
3. car battery, jumper cables, and a pencil:
take your pencil and carve it down on both ends down to the pencil lead (be careful not to break the lead).
hook up the positive and negative side to your car battery.
hook up the other side of the cables, one on each end, to the pencil lead.
the lead should get red hot and start the rest of the wood part on fire.
then add it to your flammable materials (mentioned above) to start your fire.
there are many others that I'll add later when i find them, or you can add to it also.
i don't know if it works better but I've heard chap stick is petroleum based and if you add it to your flammable material (rub it into it) it'll make your fired substance a bit stronger during wind or rain etc.
