Right, here's my attempt.

This was a very good challenge for me. I've got a fire kit, which consists of tyre inner tubes, ferro rod and cramp balls (and a couple of lighters just in case)

It's pretty windy out here tonight, and a bit wet. The inner tube just wouldn't take, need to experiment more with that, but when drunk isn't the best time. I snapped some branches off the dead bush I ripped out of the ground yesterday, and snapped those up for kindling. Still wouldn't take. Tried with the cramp ball, turns out that obviously got damp at some point, so that wasn't even a slight possibility. Grabbed some tissue, stuffed that under the kindling, smashed it with the ferro rod and away we go Smile See the pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/61489080@N03/

Who's next?
Excuse my ugly mug in the pictures Smile AND the dodgy photo's. The missus and the mother in law were in charge of the camera.
