How to light a match on a match without chirkash

An interesting trick or life hack is how you can light matches against each other without a box of chirkash. You can bet your friends that you will do this and then win the bet. Or use this method in a difficult situation, if you have everything you need.

We light a match on a match

All we need is a rubber band.

We make a loop and put it on one of the matches, placing it closer to the ignition head.

Throw the free loop from the elastic band onto the second match. Also located closer to the ignition head.

We hold the second match straight, and pull the first one, with the knot, to the side.

Then we release. The matches should hit their heads against each other. Also, the first match passes the second one in passing. As a result of short-term extreme loads, the sulfur of the head of one of the matches ignites.

The same thing can be repeated in nature.


And easily light a fire.

In the example, the most ordinary matches were used, which simply do not light on different objects.
