生火

野外起火、養火也。

  • 求暖、光、號於野→用
  • 沸水淨(見
    purify-water
    )→用
  • 煮覓食(見
    forage-plants
    )→用
  • 危急求熱氣→用

  • :引源(鎂棒、火石、打火機、弓鑽、凸鏡)
  • :乾絨
  • :地限(風、土、覆)
  • :火之用(暖、炊、號、淨水)

一:擇地

擇安、用、少擾之地。

清圓徑約 1 m 至礦土。雪濕地→築青木或平石台。

得:地清平、圓內無燃屑、上空足、有遮風。

敗:土不宜→以 4-6 青(活)腕粗木並列為台。風過烈→以木、石、布 45° 斜為屏。

Dryness Test:
- Snap test: dry wood snaps cleanly; damp wood bends
- Sound test: dry wood clicks when struck together; damp wood thuds
- Source priority: dead standing > dead leaning > dead on dry ground > dead on wet ground

得:三堆於臂內。絨骨乾細;枝脆折。

敗:絨皆濕→刮內皮(柏、樺、楊)以刀作細絲。肥松(死松脂心)濕亦燃。末計:用攜物(油棉、蠟紙板)。

三:架火

按用與況擇架。

└──────────────┴──────────────────────┴──────────────────────────┘

留隙通氣。火需氧→鬆堆非緊。

得:架穩、絨易引、隙足、枝排使焰漸升絨→枝→薪。

敗:崩→插支棍為柱。氣滯(煙而不焰)→開隙、迎風底留口。

四:引絨

按具擇法。

└───────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

得:絨於 30 秒內紅(炭)或小焰生。

敗:星落而絨不燃→絨過濕或粗。細之(刮、撕、蓬)。鎂棒先刮鎂屑於絨為催。弓鑽→軸、板同乾軟木(柳、柏、楊),槽達軸心凹。

五:養焰

絨燃乃慎由炭至焰。

  1. 有炭(弓鑽、火石)→以絨束裹炭,緩吹漸增至焰生
  2. 置燃絨束於架中
  3. 以身或屏遮風
  4. 先加最細枝——鉛粗、置焰觸處
  5. 各加必先燃乃加次

得:1-2 分鐘內焰由絨升至最細枝。劈啪聲→自續矣。

敗:枝階焰死→枝過粗濕。以刀更劈細、或擇最乾細。焰窒→架過緊、緩提材以通氣。勿猛吹散炭。

六:進薪

漸增材徑。

  1. 枝穩燃(2-3 分鐘續焰)乃加指粗
  2. 彼燃足乃加腕粗
  3. 排薪存氣:相倚或交疊
  4. 炊用→待燃為炭床(20-30 分鐘)乃置鍋烤架
Fuel Progression:
  Tinder → Pencil-thin → Finger-thick → Wrist-thick → Arm-thick
  (each stage must be established before adding the next)

得:火穩自續、熱均、每 15-30 分鐘加薪即養。

敗:加大材即死→越級也。退一級築厚炭床乃升。材嘶汽→過濕;劈露內乾、或近火烘再加。

七:滅跡

Extinguishing Protocol:
1. Stop adding fuel 30-60 min before you need the fire out
2. Let wood burn down to ash
3. Spread coals and ash with a stick
4. Douse with water (pour, stir, pour again)
5. Feel with the back of your hand 10 cm / 4 in above the ashes
6. If any warmth is felt, repeat douse-stir-douse
7. When cold to touch, scatter the ash over a wide area
8. Replace any ground cover or duff that was moved
9. "Could someone walk by and not know a fire was here?"

得:地冷、無可見炭、似未擾。

敗:無水→以礦土(非有機腐葉,會悶燃)埋。攪察再三。未冷勿離。炭埋深灰下→撥灰盡滅露炭。

  • 地清至礦土或築台
  • 三類材於引前皆備
  • 架氣通足
  • 絨燃、傳枝不死
  • 火達自續薪階
  • 火全滅——冷觸、無見炭
  • 地似無跡

  • 絨濕:最常敗也。必細於料、擇立死木
  • 薪悶:過急加木斷氧。漸進之
  • 忽風:風助亦殺。用通氣、引時遮絨
  • 分類亂:絨燃時覓枝→誤時。一擊前盡備盡分
  • 濕地導熱:乾木於濕地亦失熱。濕況築台
  • 滅不盡:埋炭數時後可復燃。必冷觸方止

  • purify-water
    — 沸水需續火,法賴此技
  • forage-plants
    — 多草為絨(樺皮、香蒲絨、乾草),有者需炊
  • paper-making
    — 以植纖造紙;纖備與搗法同絨備
