Making fire by rubbing two pieces of wood together is the skill most people picture when they think of survival. It is real, it works, and getting your first coal is one of the most satisfying things you will ever do outdoors. It is also hard. It takes strength, technique, patience, the right wood and, above all, practice in good conditions before it can be relied on in bad ones.
