Making fire outdoors is super difficult indeed, just like nuclear fusion.

And just like nuclear fusion, if you really fucking need it, and you dedicate a lot of effort to it, it can be done.

Before you do anything, you need to be convinced it can be done, not just for a moment, but for long enough to learn or invent it. If you've never done something or seen it done, then it may be as remote as landing on the moon, even if there's one (simple) weird trick to it.

Levels of commitment and resources needed for fire and nuclear fusion are not really comparable. It's a really bad comparison.
