All good advice from the others. I’ll add that having some scrunched up paper under the kindling teepee helps to get things going. And depending on what kind of kindling you have, you may want to split it even further, long way. Don’t do it neatly. The little bits of splinters sticking out will catch easier. Once it’s proper lit, add some smaller logs, cut side towards the fire. (Bark generally doesn’t light as easily) and then maintain the fire by adding more logs as needed to increase heat and not let it burn out as the initial logs get depleted.
