People began to get fire in ancient times. A few millennia ago, people learned to make matches. Today we can’t do without fire not at home, not on a hike. However, there are situations when matches are wet, run out or forgotten at home, and you can’t do without a fire. Today we will learn to make hunting matches that burn longer and can help out in any situation. Hunting matches are not afraid of moisture or wind.
So, the first thing to watch is the video:

To make hunting matches do it yourself you will need:
- nitro varnish;
- ammonium nitrate;
- silverfish;
- a plastic cup;
- matches;
- tea spoon;
- barbecue skewer;
- felt-tip pen;
First of all, we must mix silverfish and ammonium nitrate in a ratio of 1: 1. In our country it will look like this: one teaspoon of saltpeter and one teaspoon of silverfish.

Then we cut it into small strips
Next, we stick this mass on a match so that we have a leg that we will hold on to.

After complete drying, the matches are ready for use. Before we go, you can conduct a small test.

The Russian box of matches, according to GOST, has a length of exactly 5 centimeters. With it, you can measure various objects if there is no ruler at hand.
