 Mastering fire-starting techniques can be a lifesaver in emergency situations! If you've seen my previous posts, you know it's **fire month** at Casa de Ava! 🔥

Twice a year, I make it a mission to keep my fire-starting skills sharp by igniting 30-40 fires throughout the month without lighters or matches using:

- Various natural materials
- Different environmental conditions
- Ferro rod (with and without magnesium shavings or petroleum jelly-soaked cotton balls)

I even conjure a couple of friction fires into existence (they are no joke)!

Watch this short video by #Leatherman on how to start a fire using only the Leatherman Signal. **You don't need a Signal. Any ferro rod and steel blade will do:**
