level 1

Legit, being able to start a fire without a lighter or lighter fluid or anything of the sort. Being a woman I feel like not just men but everyone should have this skill. You never know what situation you could end up in. Sure you don't think you may ever need that skill, but i'm only 21 years old and can say that I've had to start a fire with only natural elements in the woods on more than one occasion. While i've been the only girl with all my guy friends. Literally none of them even understood what I was doing and thought I was bullshitting until we were sitting next to a nice warm campfire 20 minutes later and they applauded me. Girl scout for life. hahahaha
