    A lot of people generally don’t carry lighters or matches on them anymore so starting a fire will be hard, unless if you live in an area with easily accessible flint rocks.

    Generally if you find some dry grass, make a birds nest, rip some bark off a try to protect it, and begin moving some sticks back and rub them against the bark, you will create heat but it will take some time to get a spark going. About 30-45 minutes and it will hurt.

    From there slowly build the fire being careful not smother it. And try to keep it alive 24/7.

      To add to this, the Primitive Technology channel on YouTube shows how to make a fire with two sticks. The key to his preferred method is a harder stick with a point and a softer one with a notch. Then you have a lot of work, prep, and trial and error ahead of you.
