Basic tools: Knife & Fire steel.
A test I got from another forum was this:
1.Submerge a small log in a 5 gallon bucket of water overnight....
2.(next day) Split/baton the log into desired pieces
3.Take a fire steel and make a knee high fire.
The test should reveal:
Your knowledge of wood.
Splitting & batoning skills
Use of tinder, kindling and squaw wood.
Constructor of fire lay.
Good eye opening test. If you can get a fire with this you can get a fire with a lighter....easy, really fun test.
