The first thing you should do to make a fire is
  • to find a place where water, wind, and snow can't put it out. Fire is an helpful element when you are lost because it can keep you warm and dry, you can use it to cook food, purify water and to sterilize bandages. It can help you scare away dangerous animals and its smoke can keep flying insects at a bay. It is also an important way to signal for help.
