> As for starting a fire, take a piece of fire log and a lighter. Add small sticks and progressively larger ones. Read an article about it or two. It isn't that hard, though plenty of folks are opinionated about it -- like starting a fire with charcoals.

Or, use your bag of Doritos you brought along as a fire starter (More likely if car camping, but not all camping needs to be in the middle of nowhere. If you're located in the US, your local state park might be near empty outside of peak months.)
