Forum Challenge...1 Month...FIRE!!!

[Scythe13]

Time for a simple challenge.

Make Fire.

Easy! Light a match, and you're golden, right? Well, if the rules for the challenge were not as follows....

You need to make a fire using nothing that is 2nd-party-man-made. By that I mean nothing you did not make yourself. The only exception to this will be a blade, e.g. knife, axe, etc.

There is no cost to entry....sticks are free from the woods.

Can you use rope? Yes, if you have made it from the raw materials.

Can you use cotton wool? Hell no! Unless you made it yourself.

Can you use a flint and steel? Hell no! Unless you made it yourself.

Can you use a lighter or matches? Hell no! Unless you made it yourself.

Can you use chemicals? Hell no! Unless you refined them yourself.

Unless you've not pulled it up from the natural earth, made it on your own forge that you made yourself from materials you made, then no.

Think "Would a caveman have access to this?" and use that as your basic guide. And no, you can't say "Well a caveman in a chemical factory would have......" or anything like that.

This is a really basic, back to ground roots, challenge.

One day your flint and steel will run out. One day your lighter will stop sparking. Your matches will run out. All of your fire equipment will die off. So, this challenge is to teach you what you don't know and reinforce what you do know.
