I really enjoy watching some of the real TV series about survivor situations. Shows like Survivorman, Man vs Wild, and yes even a few of the Survivor series, well at least the first couple shows where the participants actually have to exhibit some woodlore skills. I don’t like the bickering and pettiness of the Survivor show, but the short bouts of survivor displays, or lack of, are interseting.

They all usually display small segments about starting a fire, or at least trying to start a fire without the use of matches, lighters or man made devices such as flint starters, magnifying glasses and the like.

It got me to thinking if I could start a fire by doing the rubbing two sticks together or something like that. I think I could, but then again I’ve never really tried. I’m not sure that it’s just as simple as rubbing two stick together and PRESTO! There’s a little more involved than that I’m sure, but I still think I could do it given the time and the incentive…you know like not freezing at night!

So how about you? Have you ever started a fire like that, or do you think you could start a fire given that you had absolutely no man-made items to git’er done?
