Fire is the most important element of human culture. He left a deep mark on the genetic memory of each of us and in many ways continues to determine the course of life not only for the community as a whole, but also for individual people. The ability to quickly get a fire and build a fire without the use of modern means is still relevant, especially for those who are not averse to testing themselves, finding themselves one on one with wild nature. “In this book, I will talk in detail about the best methods of starting a fire, which I have personally tested During my many travels and while teaching, I will give step-by-step instructions so that you can repeat all these steps yourself. But not only the process is interesting; we must not forget about the amazing traditions associated with this action, the stories and legends that I am going to share. It’s amazing how this natural phenomenon can create the world around us, shape culture and enrich spiritual life.” (Daniel Hume)
