The best way to start a fire with minimal resources in an open area is to create a fire pit by gathering rocks, or use fallen leaves to make an environmental shave if possible. Next, create a platform on the ground to place your tinder and kindling wood on and near it. Arrange small twigs into a teepee structure or log cabin style over the tinder pile. Finally, gently combustible material such as small twigs and newspaper can be used for kindling to help slowly accelerate the burning process of turning wood logs into ashes.

The best way to start a fire with minimal resources in an open area is to use the bowdrill method. Gather appropriate kinds of wood, preferably dry and seasoned, and make a wooden bowDrill which will spin as you turn the other pieces of wood. Insert your tinder into the spindle and rotate the drill rapidly until it sparks, lighting your fire. Be sure to keep practicing until you can start a fire easily with this method.
