How can I start a fire without accelerant or kindling, using only natural materials?
user
Start by gathering dry, loose leaves, twigs and small branches. Once you have enough material, create a shallow fire pit or trench and line it with stones to reflect the heat. Fill the pit with the collected materials, carefully laying each twig and branch in a crisscross pattern. Then set a small spark from a matches or lighter to ignite the fire.

Without an accelerant or kindling, the best way to start a fire is to use a sparking mechanism such as a magnifying glass and some dry fine tinder. Collect some small twigs and arrange them in a pyramid shape, then light the tinder using the magnifying glass until it catches on the twigs. Once the twigs have caught, add slightly bigger sticks and logs surrounding the pyramid until you have a decent sized fire going.
