"within a visual of where you parked and camp out with a tent, sleeping bag, stove and then practice getting a fire going."

you could and it's an excellent idea. to be more specific. I used to belong to a forum many years ago that focused on Primitive Living and Survival. there was a guy on that forum who really focused on primitive fire making methods. and he did exactly what you just said. he would randomly stop his car along some road in the forest, get out with just a small knife, and challenge himself to build a fire with whatever materials he could forage near the roadside. WOW!!! that's no small challenge, particularly when the weather is not good. but what a brilliant guy. By accumulating all that experience, he was probably the best firemaking expert.
