C'mon baby light my fire

[Mortblanc]

I have plenty of lighters but occasionally I will crank out a flame with some primitive method just to keep in practice.

I did a friction fire this past weekend just for kicks and to show off to a "squid" (what we call our sailors) I was teaching to camp.

Oddly, in our military the Navy is much like being a civilian in uniform on a pleasure cruise. The general recruit gets no combat training, no field craft training and never spends a night outdoors through the entire tour of duty, unless their friends lock them out after a night at the pub.
