Training Primer: Using some seasoned birch with bark on, to complete a one stick fire from ignition to boil. Using either a Bic Lighter and fire disk, or a windproof match, prepare tinder by carving curls and scraping the wood, to make kindling by finely batoning pieces of wood, and fueling the Migizi Wanderer Stove. Without using any Fatwood, which is my favorite crutch, or spruce kindling, my second favorite crutch, boil water in a small pot. I will probably start the exercise by setting up an unsupported survival shelter.
Although this is my exercise, does anyone want to join me? What substitutions would you make? What am I overlooking in my planning? Invite any takers!
