Making Fire the Ancestral Way
It was the simple two-piece hand drill that the ancients revered… The ability to make fire in the wild is perhaps the most important survival skill one can possess — literally the difference between a dark shivering death and a hot meal in the glow of a warming blaze. It cannot be taught by theory. Only through familiarity with the range of materials and techniques… in a variety of environments and by practice does the fire come forth.”
—Paul Campbell, Survival Skills of Native California
