Surviving alone in any environment is difficult. The worst places you could find yourself needing to survive tend to be where the climate is extreme, such as in the desert or in the arctic climates where subzero temperatures during the day are normal. Here in Alaska, it is normal for the winters to be bitterly cold with snow dropping by the foot within hours. The most important skill you must have would be starting a fire. But you better be very quick and methodical about how you accomplish the task of lighting one and keeping it going.

Fire is one of the greatest things that we as human beings have been able to perfect. Fire in every climate has been a necessity for not only heat but cooking, morale, and signalling. In the arctic however, it is arguably even more important than finding food. Without fire, you could freeze and die and then there is no way you can survive to find food for yourself. So let us look at a few items you will need in order to get your fire started.
