Here's a trick that's bound to impress your mates ... starting a fire with last night's log with a ferro rod.
The morning after a good campfire retrieve a half burnt log from the fire. It's best if it is dry, but a little scraping will get you to dry, charred wood. Now all you need to do is hit is with a good shower of sparks from a ferro rod and, once you have a glowing bit, blow carefully to get it going. Take your time and you will get a fire going from last night's log!!!!
Tip - if you have a real fire at home, that will give you materials to pracdtice with!!! :-D
