Fire!

Hunter and Dancer....There has always been a saying, "Survival of the fittest"...



but in today's world...it probably should say, "the survival of the smartest." One item you absolutely need in the wild to survive is fire. What might be the percentage of people reading this that can actually build a fire without using a match? As far as myself, I have a clue how to start a fire, but haven't been too successful building a fire with non-man made instruments.



Most people in a survival crisis might feel embarrassed, scared, lonely, hungry, bored, or in poor spirits. They need fire to overcome these predicaments. I am going to refer to Indians again



which said that there are 3 things fire helps with: 1. Warmth 2. Companionship and #3. The power to ward off evil spirits.

Fire also dries clothes, gives light, drives away pests, cooks food, signals people that help is needed and ultimately lead to rescue. Next post: Where to build, and how to build a fire
