Mike Stevens Shares; This is something people might try. I did a little experiment yesterday where I went to do survival/bushcrafts tasks exhausted. I worked in the yard all day. Stopped about 7. While I didnt feel like doing anything else I decided I would see how I fared getting a fire started while wiped out and battling time/daylight. Its one thing to hike and get back to camp and get your fire going. I discovered its something totally different to do these things when youre exhausted and already sore. I did it but it took longer than usual. Much profanity flowed yesterday evening due to processing firewood where the wood was super hard and didnt want to cooperate. While it was sunny and nice yesterday, I decided to treat the situation as if it was wet. That means splitting wood to get to what would be the dry stuff. I did use a home made firestarter once everything was prepped. (cotton pad folded over pine resin. I figured it would be harder, but being worn out can really influence your mood and that can make things even harder. I suggest doing it when you arent camping or waiting until a potential survival situation.
