This document provides instructions for starting a fire outdoors using the classic nest method. It describes gathering tinder and building a nest structure with tinder in the center and kindling arranged around it. The instructions explain gently blowing on any embers that form in the tinder until flames emerge, being careful not to blow too hard which could extinguish the embers or too softly to fully ignite the fire. Safety tips are included to never use flammable liquids and not leave a fire unattended.

TIPS Once the tinder turns into small patches of ember - you are a winner ! Blow gently onto ember until thick smoke and eventually flames will start. Blowing too had ruins the tinder and amber will extinguish. Insufficient blowing fire will not start.
Consider moving tinder and wood in
order to spread the ember and let oxygen circulate. Once the fire is on add logs of wood on the teepee without ruining it.
SAFETY Do not start fire with inflammable liquids ! Do not leave fire unattended. Make sure its out when leaving!
