" A hand drill kit. Can be used for starting a fire. — In-game description

The Hand Drill Kit is a tool that can be crafted and used to start fires. Other than needing a knife to cut bark, this will allow you to start a fire using nothing but what you are able to find in nature. To create a hand drill kit, simply combine bark and a wooden stick. When using a hand drill kit, be advised that there is a chance it will fail to light the fire; this will consume the hand drill kit and you will need to make another.
