Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Fire David Aman

Publisher Marketing: Whether you are a firefighter, a camper, a person that barbecues a lot or a survivalist you will want to read this book. "Everything that you ever wanted to know about Fire" will teach you amazing things like what material can produce a flame without oxygen being involved and what wood gives off almost no smoke when it is burned? This book answers the question "why is the smoke following me." Do you know what wood burns best when it is alive? There is a list of 100 types of wood that describes their properties like how some burn better when they are green than when they are seasoned. Which ones give great coals to cook by or which ones give off a great amount of light to read ghost stories by. It will tell you which types of wood pop and spark a lot and which ones are easy to split or to light. This book will tell you which types of wood have a fragrant smell, give very little smoke and which ones make a great cooking fire. You will learn the types of wood that the Indians used to attract deer and other animals using its smoke. This book will teach you over 100 ways of starting fires without matches including getting sparks from bamboo and how to upgrade your laser pointer into a device strong enough to start fires. Have you ever heard of "dragons breathe" which turns your shotgun into a flame thrower? Did you know there is a plant named "Dictamnus Fraxinella" that emits a flammable vapor that burns while the plant remains unhurt? Do you know how to properly NOT put out your campfire? Do you know how to cook inside of a log? How about how to start a fire in the pouring rain, in the snow or when you are floating on a raft after your boat has sunk? Do you know how to make a torch properly? How about how to use the dead bodies of animals to make a candle to read by? This book will teach you which trees in your woods rarely get hit by lightning. It will also teach you why moths go towards the flames. This book will teach you how to use urine to make gunpowder, how to light a match twice, how to use a sea shell or your nose boogers to create fire. This book will teach you how to start a fire with ease whether it is in your grill, fireplace or out in the woods. You will learn which type of wood you will get the most heat out of in your wood stove. Enjoy! Contributor Bio:  Aman, David I have been teaching kids fun stuff in Boy Scouts for 15 years now and I seem to be pretty good at it. I can't sing worth a darn but I know how to make kids excited about being outdoors and have a lot of fun doing it. Although my expertise leans towards fire starting without matches, some would say that what I am really good at is how to convey skills to kids in a fun way. Many leaders of groups are good at the organization (yet another weakness of mine) when it comes to camping etc. What I teach are fun ways of doing basic things like how to set up camp or cook dinner along with activities, games and projects. These projects are just as fun to do by adults as with the kids. I have been writing a comprehensive book about fire for 7 years now including absolutely everything that I can find on the subject. I want it to be so thourough that 50 years from now it is still "THE" book about fire. (Portions of this book can be found in my e-books.) Included in it are ways to create smoke that attracts animals, what wood only burns when it is green, how to make torches, and over 100 ways of starting fires without matches. These include all of the chemical formulas, how to start fire with air showing the math that is involved in the process, starting fires with Canadian coins, or getting sparks by striking bamboo against bamboo. Life is fun and kids are our future. Teach them all that you know, spend some time with them and create memories that you can think about when they have grown up and moved out. This is as much about making the parents happy as it is for the kids.
