If you can find the time to learn, manual fire starting is one of the most satisfying skills one can pick up. I learned last summer and I can't even describe how awesome it felt to get those first little embers glowing, and coax them into a full-blown fiery existence. I felt connected with all of nature and my ancestors for just a brief second. Like being catapulted back thousands of years. I am Human, I make fire! Just a deeply moving experience. Perhaps not the most practical thing to know, but moving.
