The Massais make fire by hand without matches. Although still living in primitive abode made of cow dung, it is uncertain whether the tribe still actually use this mode of fire making. Noted as a vanishing tribe, the Massais struggle to keep their culture as modern influences lurk around their surroundings. More on the Massais here.
my adventure odyssey 
might take a loooong time to start a fire with hands. I find that quite admirable though. my PH entry is up too.
