Fire enables warmth, water purification, signaling, and morale. In wet conditions, firecraft becomes a technical skill rather than convenience.
Understanding the fire triangle allows adaptation when fuel is damp and ignition is difficult.
Fatwood, inner bark, and feather sticks provide ignition material even in saturated environments.
Ferrocerium rods outperform lighters in wet and cold conditions when used correctly.
Fire preparation, not ignition, determines success in adverse weather.
