Yes you should practice and practice them all. Sorry it seems you found some thing I wrote offensive or inflammatory that was not my intention. It might be fun to do a how-to on fire building but it would be faster to do a couple of searches as this is always a “hot topic” on survival forums. I kind of thought I was "preaching to the choir" I really wasn't trying to give a how-to on fire building it was more of tongue & check tutorial. If we're ever on a camping trip together I would be glad to show you what I do to make a fire. I too use all different methods. I think the basic principles are the same for every fire.

So grab your fire steel and Nato life boat matches and go burn some wood.
