Lost

Fire

I keep striking and striking the flint with the steel and so far not so much luck, I'm getting a little spark but not enough to burn the tinder.

It took about 20 minutes but I finally got a fire, I'll I need to do is keep the smoke low but the fire going. I just don't want to take the risk of people finding us unprepared. I think this is one of the islands of "the pig eaters" I read about them in a book, they run around and kill and eat pigs with there bare hands, and I'm sure if they find a human they'll do the same. Also I hope this isn't their main island which holds the throne of the mighty King Lane.

Ok enough talk about the bad things, let's talk about good things. We finished the shelter and I got a fire so I moved the fire into the shelter to keep us warm at night and we are about to eat a snack then go to sleep, I'm very tired. Walking around climbing trees and getting a fire started is exhausting work.

So me and my mom made us some small beds out of pine needles and more leaves and had the fire to keep us warm and it felt like we were on vacation right there. The smell of the fire and the sounds of outside are so calming.
