I watched the “To Build a Fire” video until I got to the point where this fellow built a fire and stopped watching.
Now I know there are people that have done this, much like the video portrays.
I’ve tried many times, taking frozen moisture absorbed twigs from under the snow to build a fire. First just getting the match to light and staying lit long enough to start a twig is a problem. For that twig or birch paper to want to light it first needs to be warmed enough by the match to want to light and free enough of moisture to stay lit.
