The speaker, Gregory, is in a forest in the Vologda region, where it's wet and humid. Despite the conditions, he demonstrates how to make a fire without matches or lighters. He starts by finding a dry Christmas tree and uses its branches to create a makeshift drill and a platform to generate heat. He then creates a bow and uses it to rotate the drill, generating enough heat to create an ember. He places small shavings and sawdust on the ember to help it grow into a fire. Throughout the process, Gregory provides tips and explanations on how to make a fire in a humid forest, including finding dry trees and using natural materials to create a makeshift drill and bow.
