There are many techniques you can use to start a­ fire without a match. Some are simpler than others, and they all need a bit of practice. It’s a good option to use some of these techniques when you camp outside. It will help you develop the right skill.

The first step to a successful campfire is location, you should survey the land around you and choose the best possible place for the campfire, and these are the things you need to look for:
 
·        Smooth surface
·        Wind Protected
·        Near to firewood
·        Dry ground
·        Near to water source
·        Near to your shelter




After you choose the location clean it a bit and dig a hole about 5 inches deep, if there is strong wind make it deeper, then put large rocks around the hole. After you have the hole it’s time to collect the firewood. You need to start the fire with tinder because they are easily ignited and they are perfect fire starters they have to be dry so they will ignite.
 
After you start the fire with the tinder try add some kindling (medium size sticks and small twigs) above it to make the flame bigger. Once the flame is big enough you can start add the large branches to make it larger, and then add some logs to make the fire last a while.


 
There are few techniques to ignite the fire the easiest of course is a lighter or matches but when you stuck without them you need to be more creative. You can use any lens preferably magnifying glass but it also can be done with simples reading glasses. Aim the lens so the sunlight is focused on one spot and it will get the fire started with the tinder.

You can also use batteries to start the fire, just fine some wire from a broken electronics and attack the wires to both sides of the battery touch the wires over the tinder, this should create a spark and light the tinder. If there is no fire try blow on it until it lights.

Another common way but a bit harder than methods is the Fire Plow, this technique will need to physical force and determination so it’s recommended that you practice it.

First find a hardwood shaft about foot long and pointy on one hand (you can use a knife to sharpen one end).
Find a piece of softwood for you plow board it need to be a bit big so it will be easier for you to plow, curve a groove along the center of the plow board (see picture).

Lay the board on the ground and insert the pointy end of the shaft to the groove and start to pull and push the shaft along the groove with moderate pressure to create bits of wood dust. Once you got a nice stack of wood dust raise one of the board top to your knee and the dust will collect on the bottom, then start to push and pull the shaft along the groove as fast with heavy pressure until the dust start smoking, pick up the board and start blowing on the smoking dust until there are flames for the tinder.

It’s a hard technique you probably won't successful start a fire on your first try but don't give up.
