"Try to Set the World on Fire"

As most of you know, each student in our class is required to start a fire without matches. I very much hope you will each also follow Francisco's lead and watch the film Quest for Fire. Regardless, I'll soon be assigning each group a particular method to use based on the successful experiences of others who have tried these experiments. Of course, some methods work much better than others. By the end of the semester, however, I may require each student to demonstrate his or her ability to start a fire without matches using one or more of the methods listed on The Art of Manliness Website.
