If you don't have medical assistance and supplies with you, I certainly wouldn't try to start a fire with gasoline! ESPECIALLY if you aren't familiar with starting fires to begin with. Burns are something you don't need in a survival situation, and could conceivably kill you, an awful, agonizing death.

Whenever I see guys trying to start a fire with gasoline, I figure they're future Darwin Award recipients. If a person can't start a fire without gasoline, they probably shouldn't be allowed to play with fire at all.
