FYI, it is easier and lights faster if you scrape some flint onto the pile, and dont strike it until you see an okay amount. Also, for a survival situation, your better off using leaves.

@skemo90710 even if you really did have to survive for 2 weeks, you clearly gained nothing from it because you're coming on here criticizing this kid for actually being prepared. something you apparently DIDN'T do.

maybe if you started learning about this stuff at his age, you would've been able to make it to civilization in 1 week
