You can start a fire without matches or a lighter by using rubbing alcohol, cotton balls, and a small container. Fill the container with rubbing alcohol and submerge the cotton balls in it. Then forcefully blow into the container and light the alcohol. The flame should catch onto the edges of the bowl, spreading quickly throughout.
 
In addition, you can use flintrock and steel to start a fire without matches or a lighter. Simply strike the flintrock with the steel tool until you create an spark that starts your fire.

You can start a fire without matches or a lighter by using a bow drill.  Gather kindling, tinder, and twigs. Lay the twigs and kindling in the shape of a tic-tac-toe board. Place some tinder at the center of the board. Quickly rotate the bow drill in small circles over the tinder while applying pressure, this will cause it to ignite. As the fire grows add larger pieces of wood as needed to keep it burning.
