Brian explained in the book he needed oxygen, heat and a spark. Without the oxygen to keep the fire going the flames will choke and there wont be any heat or any spark. You need a spark to light the fire but its easier to light the fire with heat but in Canada it is very unlikely to get much heat to start the fire easily. Brian tried making a fire by rubbing two sticks together if somewon where to make a question of this I would have said it would take hours to make a fire that way. Brian needed heat mostly, it was too cold and making a fire with wood and rubbing them together would take even longer. Brian failed to start the fire because he needed heat, no heat no fire. There needs to be heat to start any fire. If you turn on a car in a 50 below weather in Alaska, there is a good change it wont start since it takes a spark to light the fire, without heat you cannot create a fire.
Brian also tried using a friction method, he failed big time he needed more heat as I described. I also saw he did not gather any materials to burn the fire, he then gathered some leaves and twigs but none of those worked. Leaves are the hardest to burn. But if its dead leaves then it burns quickly and this does not help Brian.
