Quick Answer
To create a tinder bundle with dry grass, gather dry grass and other tinder materials, bundle them together with a piece of twine or a rubber band, and shape the bundle into a neat and compact form.
Gathering Materials
Gather dry grass and other tinder materials such as dry leaves, moss, or small twigs. Look for areas with low vegetation, as these areas are more likely to have dry grass and other tinder materials. When gathering, aim for materials that are dry and brittle, as these will burn more easily.
Preparing the Bundle
Take the gathered materials and bundle them together with a piece of twine or a rubber band. Aim for a bundle that is about 2-3 inches in diameter and 4-6 inches long. Be sure to leave some slack in the twine or rubber band, as this will make it easier to ignite the tinder.
Shaping the Bundle
Shape the bundle into a neat and compact form by gently squeezing it together. This will help the dry grass and other tinder materials to be in close proximity, making it easier to ignite. A well-shaped tinder bundle should be able to be held in one hand and should be roughly the size of a small fist.
