Requirement #10 of the American Mountain Men

10. Must be able to start a fire in wet, as well as dry weather, using flint and steel or fire drill using tinder and wood found under natural conditions.

This requirement is optional for advancement to Bossloper and mandatory for the Hiveranno degree.

Keeping track of all the fires you start at your camps throughout the year should fulfill this requirement. Learning to start a fire is one of the most common and important skills you will need in wilderness survival.
