Nobody wants to start a fire in the rain, but sometimes you have to. The Art of Manliness put together a visual guide that makes it easy to remember the steps to get a fire going.
The basics here are pretty simple. Unsurprisingly, you’ll need to find the right kind of wood that dries quickly or dry out the kindling you find by airing it out.
