Description
Natalie and I wanted to roast some food on the fire. Samuel and Ulomo came to help us build the fire. I tried lighting it with the moss on some twigs. Ulomo said that only in dry season that will work, now in wet season they use plastic to light a fire. They first put little pieces of wood down and then put the burning plastic on. Then they stack more small pieces of wood on top and then line it with bigger pieces. Ulomo had cut some wood shavings beforehand to use. The fire needs to be big first before putting food on it.
Angondi came over later with a bit of burning wood because she wanted to help us start the fire.
Interpretation
People prefer using pieces of burning wood to start a fire, rather than plastic.
