Additional topics include:   How to make a fire in the rain The best locations to build a fire Safety precautions to take when around fire How to tend your fire How to make a signal fire Different ways to cook with fire And much more! With helpful diagrams, illustrations, and sidebars, Guide to Making Fire without Matches is the ultimate reference book for learning about an essential element.

"Christopher Nyerges, with over forty years of teaching outdoor skills, wilderness survival, bushcraft, and ethnobotany, is a true master of outdoor skillsIt is always amusing to see some survival "expert" demonstrating something "new"...something I learned from Christopher well over twenty years ago! Dedication, research, and field experience is what I look for in a survival instructor and Christopher checks all the boxes. Being one of the most prolific outdoor writers, Christopher has conveyed volumes of knowledge to outdoor enthusiasts thirsty for the insight. If you practice the skills you read in Christopher’s book, you will be a more accomplished outdoorsman." —Keith Farrar, wilderness and survival instructor

"Fire is an essential element of survival, but what if you left your matches at home? What now? No matches? No problem." —Enrique Villasenor, natural living instructor
