Make a firebow. Take a stick about the thickness of your index finger, and tie a string to each end tight, so the apparatus looks like a miniature bow. Then wrap the taught bowstring once around another stick as thick as your thumb. Place the bottom end of your thick stick into your tinder, put your palm over the top (with something hard in your hand to prevent burning yourself) to push the stick down hard into the tinder, then start sawing the bow back and forth like a violin bow. The thick stick will spin, and the friction of the stick against the tinder will start a fire. It's a little work, but it was you who set the conditions. I'd just use a lighter.

get a really hard wooden stick with a point and then a more bendable wooden stick that you make into a bow, the string wraps around the hard stick twice, put the hard stick down onto a flat hunk of wood with a small depression in the middle, and put lots of very fine shavings, dry grasses or pine needles on the flat wood around the depression, use something at the top of the hard stick that it can rest in, like a metal cup or something, and then hold the stick fairly firmly into the depression by the cup on the top, and saw back and forth with the bow with the other hand, it takes forever, so good luck.

the best fire starter ever is lint from your dryer! Then use a flint rock to start a spark. We camp all the time. I save all of my dryer lint. It's the best fire starter, think about how many house fires are caused by dryers! If you can't use a flint rock { stone} use a lighter! LOL!

A magnifying glass would do it, concentrating light of the sun on some dry paper. You can get spontaneous combustion in piles of damp leaves as they decompose.

or do we need to try molding ice into a convex shape to resemble a magnifying glass

friction of combustible fuel +heat and air= fire usually
example wooden stake+dry moss + motion to create friction+ air
can equal fire

Fire is a combination of three things:
Oxygen, fuel, and heat. Combine them, and voila! Fire.
