Safety Rules and Precautions: 1) Ensure the weapon is in good condition and sharp enough to be used. 2) Wear shoes when using a parang to chop wood or bamboo. 3) Remove anything that may get in the way, e.g. tie, loose shirt, pendent, scarf. 4) Get yourself into a comfortable and well balanced position. 5) Keep others away at 6ft distance. 6) Keep your eyes on the targeted object. 7) If the handler is loose, stop using it. 8) Do not be over confident or careless while using a knife or parang. 9) Do not chop onto the ground. 10)Do not leave the parang or knife on the ground. 11)Do not throw the weapon. 12) If tired or not feeling well, do not use the weapon. Proper maintenance of Knife and Parang: 1) Always keep it clean, dry and sharp. 2) Keep it off the ground as moisture and dirt will make it rusty. 3) Remove all rust immediate and grease the blade. 4) The keener the edge, the safer it is to use the knife or parang. A blunt weapon is dangerous because it does not bite into the wood properly and thus it is difficult to be controlled. In addition, a blunt blade needs extra work to complete the job. 5) Sharpen the blade with a honing stone, angled at 30o. 6) Never use it on things that will blunt the blade, e.g. stone, metal. 7) Do not use hard metal to hammer the back of the knife or parang. 8) Do not abuse the weapon by using it for a hammer, wedge, screwdriver, digger, or pry. 9) Keep it out of fire or anything that is very hot. Heat will damages the temper of the steel and makes the edges soft. 10) Wipe clean the blade after every use and then oil or grease it before keeping it. 11)Keep the knife or parang in its cover when not using. 12)Hang high or keep the weapon out of reach from children.

Dig a shallow pit and make a bed of tinder in it Then form a wigwam of kindling around it, starting with the lowest grade. Leave a small gap for the match to reach to the tinder. One match should light the tinder, and then the kindling will catch. Then gradually and carefully add higher and higher grades of wood to build up the fire. 6) For windy or light rainy days, lay a stack of kindling up against a log. 7) A slightly better way is to form bundle of sticks, no larger then a match, light these first and then place them in the kindling (see the firestick below). 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Wood Grade: (low to high grades) tinder -> kindling -> twig -> branches -> small -> medium -> large -> log
Fuzz-Stick or Fire-lighter It use as firestick with greater results if made of right type of wood, very dry wood.
Matches Matches are the easiest way to start a fire. I think that the non-safety 'strike anywhere' matches are the better type. Always carry some to camp (and when hiking etc.). Keep them in a waterproof container (make sure they cannot rub against anything). Damp matches can be a problem. If you have dry, non-greasy hair try rolling them in it (Static electricity will 'dry' the match). Try striking damp matches by stabbing at an angle onto the striker strip instead of pulling the match across it. Whenever you strike a match, light a candle. You can then light many things from the candle, save matches. The candle could even be put into the kindling to start fire. Using a Lens
You can use a lens (not all lenses!) to focus strong sunlight to a point. Given enough direct sunlight it should produce enough heat to ignite the tinder. You may have to be patient. This is indeed how some accidental fires are caused by the sun shining through broken bottles and such like. A magnify glass is the best known example for this technique but a telescope or camera lens could be used as well.
Often found in 'survival kits' the flint & steel can be a useful method, as it can be tried many times unlike the 'one-strike' match. Flint is actually found in many parts of the world (look at the top of chalk escarpments). When you strike the flint and steel together, with effort, sparks are produced which can ignite decent, dry tinder. Most often they come as a 'kit' with a flint bloke, and a steel saw attached by a cord. Simply draw the saw across the block whilst holding it close to the tinder so that the sparks can fall on it. Depending upon the quality of your tinder and the weather, you may have to be patient to get any result. Fire Bow
This is a friction method that requires a lot of practice but can be surprisingly useful. It consists of a hardwood spindle being rotated on a softwood base. This will first produce tinder, and then will ignite the tinder. Useful woods are Balsa, pine, bamboo for the soft wood. Oak, ash and beech for the hard wood. They must all be perfectly dry. Carve a small depression at one end of the base block and cut a cavity below it (in which to put the tinder). Make an even, cylindrical spindle from the hardwood. Make a bow from a pliable wood (hazel, bamboo with string made from bootlaces, hide or twine). Have a block of stone or wood on which can push down the spindle. First, wind the bowstring around the spindle. The place the spindle in the depression and push down upon it with the stone. With the other hand move the bow backwards and forwards. As the spindle spins, increase the speed until it starts drilling through the wood. Just as it enters the cavity push down hard and go for it and 'bow' harder! With a little luck, the tip of the spindle will 'ignite' like a small coal and drop onto the tinder. Then tend the tinder carefully and blow on it, shall be able to start a fire.
This is basically a variation on the fire bow method. You will need a hardwood base with a v-shaped notch, and a spindle of hollow soft wood. Roll the spindle between your hands, running your hands down the spindle with each burst of spinning. When the friction makes the tip glow red, blow gently to ignite the tinder. Fire Plough
Fire Plough This is yet another friction method. Cut a small groove in a soft wood base and then 'plough' along the groove with the tip of a hardwood shaft, up and down the groove. This will produce fine shavings at first that will collect at the end, this is your tinder. Eventually the friction will ignite the tinder (with a lot of hard work!). Chemicals There are a few examples where common 'household' chemicals can be used to start a fire. As always care should be taken with all these types of methods. The most common way to use them is to grind them between rocks, or place them near the friction points for the above friction methods. Battery Firelighting A spark from a battery can start a fire, even torch and radio batteries have enough power to do this. Take two lengths of wire and connect them to the terminals. Slowly bring the bare ends of the two pieces together. Just before they touch a spark will be produced which you must catch on your tinder. Soaking the tinder in a flammable liquid will help this along, although care should be taken.

Identifying Wind Direction: 1) Use of anemometer. Anemometer is commonly used to determine the wind speed. 2) Use of weather vanes. This is commonly use by household to determine the wind direction. 3) Use of weather sock. This is commonly found in airports, seaports and open areas to determine the wind direction. 4) Determine the North by using compass or judge from sunrise or sunset, then observe the direction the tree is swinging towards, and the opposite will be the direction the wind is coming from. 5) In a cloudy day, after determining the North, observe the direction which the could is moving and a rough idea of the wind direction can be noticed. 6) Hold some small and light object (hair, grass or pieces of paper), throw them up into the air at an open area (field, roof top or open air car park), and observe the direction these objects fly to determine the wind blowing direction at this height. 7) The simplest way is wet an index finger, face the wet part at all direction, if the finger feel cold, means the wind blow from that direction. Reason because wind help water evaporate, and it bring heat away from the finger. However, this is not that accurate as finger feeling maybe wrong.
Southern Hemisphere Hold the watch horizontal. Point 12 towards the sun. A mid-point between 12 and the hour hand will give you the north-south line.
