Fire can be critical to survival. It will boil water to disinfect it for drinking so you don’t get
dehydrated. It can keep you warm and dry you out if you get wet, reducing the risk of hypothermia.
There is a psychological component at work with firemaking, too. In a true survival situation, you may
feel as though everything is spiraling out of hand. Being able to build a crackling fire can give you a sense
of control and help calm you down. Let’s face it, sitting in front of a campfire can be tremendously relaxing.
