How To Start A Fire With A 9V Battery & Steel Wool

Knowing more than one way to start a fire can be a lifesaver.  If it everything went down hill and SHTF it would be extremely important to know as many fire starting methods as possible.  This is one of many methods that will allow you to start a fire quickly and easily in an emergency situation.

To begin with you will need a piece of super fine steel wool and a nine volt battery.  Pull the steel wool apart a bit and place some tinder on top of it.  Be sure that you have plenty of tinder as well as kindling at your disposal (It would be a bad day if you light the fire and couldn't keep it going because you neglected to be fully prepared to build your fire up).

Continue adding your tinder until the fire has become sufficient to burn the kindling. From this point add kindling until you can begin placing your fuel wood to the fire.


As you can see in this video, starting a fire with steel wool and a 9V battery is a fairly simple task.  This method of starting a fire will allow you to easily make a heat source for keeping warm and cooking your food.
