The only survival fire I needed to make we didn't have any dry matched or lighters. We were on our way back from ice fishing at night when we hit a pressure ridge with our four wheeler and going in the water. We climbed out of the water fortunately with big tires on the wheeler it didn't sink immediately and we were able to wrestle it back onto solid ice somehow. Fortunately we were close to a island that had a bunch of blow downs we kicked off a pile of branches, piled them out dumped the gas out of our jiffy ice auger onto the pile and onto a rag. Pulled the wire off the auger and after a fee pulls on the auger we lit the rag with the spark from the spark plug. We had a roaring fire in minutes. A few hours later we were dry and on our way home. Very cautiously
