fire starter

A fire-starter can come in a few forms, most notably flint and steel. Lighters run out of fuel, so getting to use flint is quite useful. When lighting a fire using a fire starter, the spark from the flint should be aimed at the 'tinder' (the hairy, leafy section). Once the tinder is lit, the kindling should catch on fire after, ultimately lighting the wood.
