Wow ... so as long as I have a 9 volt battery and a batch of steel wool, I'm good to go. Why wouldn't I pack matches?

Yeah, you take them with you into the forest. It's a ton easier than matches or a lighter, because you don't need kindling. And you don't find matches or a lighter in a forest either do you?

How to make fire without matches or a lighter
What you'll need: ANY type of battery Steel Wool Steps Rub the battery terminals on the steel wool and blow on it. Use this to light the tinder, and there you have it! Tips: The finer the steel wool the better. Most batteries will work but 9 volt batteries are easiest. This works by sending a current through the tiny steel wires the tiny steel wires, which in turn get super heated. This is similar to how the wires in light bulbs and toasters operate.
