I wanted to try starting the fire with no lighter or matches, only my flint that I that I had gotten in Vermont. After a lot of sparking I finally did it! I actually kind of panicked when the toilet paper lit, because I was so used to sparking endlessly. It was a very fun fire, even though I spent a lot of time gathering driftwood to keep the fire going. Our fire ended when it started raining and we all had to go inside.
