Being able to start a fire is an essential skill. Keeping that fire going long enough to use it as a signal, boil water, keep you warm is another essential skill.
There are many modern ways to start a fire, and all of the primitive methods still work too; best if you learned several.
Right from the start, I'm going to recommend these brand new matches from UCO, they are on Massdrop at a great price and could save your life someday:

You could wrap one of these matches in aluminum foil and carry it with you all the time, weighs almost nothing and works incredibly well, watch this video:
