While technology can most certainly be incorporated into this challenge, knowing the basics and having something as simple as the mag strip and a piece of steel is nice. I usually have steel wool in my kit just for this purpose and all you need is a spark. Living here in New England it's pretty easy to stoop over and pick up a piece of quartz that will spark on simple steel like an axe head. It's more work but requires less technology. Even the wool can go if you can find a cedar with that nice, dry flaky bark or any of the other tinder sources that are typically available in a forest, even when it's raining. I've done this with a bow and hard wood but I'd prefer something less strenuous! LOL
