    I'm going to disagree with # 2 as more fires are set by accident than by arson. It's not hard to start a fire if you're in the right place. I've been doing it since I was 8, but it's not always the thing to do. If your above tree line in the mountains, for example, or lost at sea, in the desert, or in a very dry area. Remember that lawyer who was wanting a survival question on fire answered?

    Yeah, but it's still the most important skill to have, regardless of how easy it is. Without fire you're really in the ****s. It's good for morale. Can sometimes be an alternative to having a shelter. Can dry meat. Can cook any meal. Makes water safe(r) to drink. Can be used for signals. Provides protection from many forms of wild life, including insects. Drys wet clothing.

    Regardless of how easy it is, it's definately the most important skill. Without a fire, you're pretty much stuffed in the long run.

    I think the best tip is to first get a shelter up, find a water source, put up GTA signals, and wait.

    I disagree. Fire is a wonderful thing, but shelter will keep you alive when fire is not possible, at least in the short term. By default, that makes fire secondary.

    When I refer to shelter, I mean anything that keeps you away from the elements, and serves to reserve, or redirect your body heat for better use, such as keeping you warmer (or cooler) longer.

    It depends on the situation. For example if you were stuck out in the ocean without a boat I’d say swimming is your #1 skill lol
