Firelighting

'Firelighting', also known as fire-making and fire-starting, refers to the primitive skill of starting a fire.

Firelighting materials and tools are valuable in case of an unexpected emergency. The ability to make and use fire sets humans apart from animals. Fire keeps people warm^[1], cooks food, sterilizes water, can help make tools via blacksmithing, and wards off animals.
