[i] The man called Sasha worked on the meat then got to starting a fire.  I was rather impressed at his ability to contribute to everyone's survival.  

When he finally got a small ember going I rushed to help him set the ember into the fire pit helping him breath life into the fire making sure to constantly provide the fibrous tinder to keep the small ember aglow until it starting taking a life of its own.  The fire started up too high, which was good since it would get the thicker logs going.  I got the fire going brighter and brighter placing a few more logs each time until the smaller sticks got consumed, now it was just a matter of waiting for the fire to die down and setting the meat on some heated stones.

"What do you think we should do about shelter?" I asked the man leaving the fire be. "The fire will keep us warm, but it might draw predators to us." [/i]
