If you're cold, wet, and in the middle of nowhere,
the ability to build a fire will keep you alive.
Stoves are fine for boiling water, but it takes a lot
more heat than that to get a person warm and dry.

Of course starting a "real" fire using a stove is incredibly
easy and fast. In an emergency situation, dumping a little
"boy scout juice" on will get you warm quick. Forget messing with
tinder, bring on the logs.

Been there, done that.
