Oh, doing it without a match is painful and time-consuming under the best of circumstances. Like building a debris hut, it'd be a useful skill if civilization crumbled but I'd rather never use it again.
I'd say the ideal is needing one match. Mostly because I managed that for two fires in a row a few months ago, after not building a fire for years.
