Tulesüütamise, a Finnish and Estonian term, refers to the act of starting a fire. While it can be a practical necessity for activities like cooking, heating, or survival, it also carries cultural and traditional significance in both regions.

The methods used for tulesüütamise range from simple matches or lighters to more traditional techniques like flint and steel or friction-based methods. Safety is a paramount consideration when starting any fire, and responsible practices are emphasized to prevent uncontrolled spread and environmental damage. Understanding local regulations regarding open fires is also an important aspect of responsible tulesüütamise. The practice connects individuals to a fundamental element and can evoke a sense of self-reliance and connection with nature.
