Did they carry sticks around to rub together, or flint rock lighters, or what?

They primarily used flint, and carried around a small box full of tinder.  This was called a "tinderbox"..  it's a box with flint inlaid in the wood, a stone to scrape against the flint, and a small store of wood shavings or wood dust that would catch fire easily.\n\nThese days you're better off carrying a box of waterproof matches, though.  Or a cigarette lighter -- works on the same principle, actually.  Flint striker and a store of flammable material to make the flame.  :)

I dont think they were actuall M203's, they were a smaller diameter and I think they were available with a chalk type and maybe a smoke projectile.  Did find a 37mm flare launcher\nhttp://lgweaponry.com/ad_sheets/37mm.htm

Believe it or not your question was the trivia question on some rock site to win a prize. They haven't posted the answer as i can see, but i'll give you the link and maybe you can email them for the answer.

Penobscot hunters and warriors used bows and arrows, spears, and heavy wooden clubs. Penobscot fishermen used special pronged fishing spears and nets.\n\nhttp://gizmo.sad4.com/~ebartley/NativeAmericans/penobscot.html\nhttp://www.geocities.com/bigorrin/penobscot_kids.htm

They are called coal and they catch fire and burn. There are lignites too but they dont catch fire so easily.

Supposedly the Egyptian "magicians" knew of a pressure point on cobras where if they gripped them correctly the snake would become paralyzed and stiff so they could carry them around like staffs.\n\nMoses and Aaron on the other hand had supernatural power from God Almighty so that's why Aaron's wooden staff was able to consume the other snake staffs.

I used to tell people they needed a concrete softner to fix problems in their sidewalks. \n\nWe used to tell the new students to bring us 'left' handed wrenches.\n\nAnd George Carlin made reference to a left nostral inhaler.

Lots of slave labor, donkey carts, ropes, rolling logs, mules, wagons...the wheel was invented during the building of the time of the Pyramids.

Flint will spark when struck at a good angle with another really hard material- flint, metal, really hard kinds of rock, etc. A few other kinds of rocks will do this as well.\n\nFew people at any time in history depended on hitting rocks to start fires. Tools like fire drills are much more common historically. Sticks are available all over, while flint is hard to find.\n\nAlso, most native people start fires more rarely than you might think. Most used some form of carrying embers to start new fires with, and the job of the 'keeper of the fire' was an important one.\n\nIf you decide to go with the flint option, you'll need:\n- A hand-sized piece of flint with one flat surface\n- A fist-sized hard rock with a point or ridge or edge that can be used to strike on the flint\n- A handful of super tender tinder- mouse nest, really fluffy inner bark, lint\n- A ready supply of all sizes of wood fuel- a bunch of stuff not much thicker than toothpicks is an important first step\n\nThe basic technique, whch you'll adjust to fit your specific  rocks, is:\n- Position the tinder on a dry surface\n- Hold the flint in one hand, flat side facing the other hand, and positioned so the spark falls on the tinder.\n- Hold the other rock so a point or an edge pokes out and strike that edge against the flint.\n- Your goal is to try to literally knock a small chip of flint off into the tinder, so strike it with a 'loose-wristed' glancing blow.\n\nPractice the striking in a comfortable seated position at first cuz it will take a while! Have a pile of rocks to try- both flint and others, and try different combinations until something sparks.\n\nOnce you can get a spark most of the time, then practice just setting tinder on fire. Use cheap cotton or dryer lint to start. Once you can get the tinder going on command, you are ready to try a campfire.

Cool, I've never seen a smoke bomb that small. The pen thing could be kinda tricky though. Probably not worth the effort. Now if you burried one in someones cigarette they could just light the fuse themselves. That would be funny.

that thing with the balls on it and you hit the balls into pockets with sticks

I can't find any definitive sources, but apparently they were created by Aborigine bush hands trying to keep the flies out of their eyes when they worked.  The "whitefellas" thought this right clever, and started to do the same thing.

striking rocks to light a spark=fire=light\n\nor you keep twisting a stick on a rock until it burns then you put the burned stick onto a handful of soft hay. after, you breathe on it lightly since the CO2 from your breath with make the fire/spark grow into a fire

The previous answer is not correct. Here is a link to the actual story. It involved a setup by one gang to put a hit on another. Staged as a bootleg alcohol buy.

I attached the link to the wikipedia article on this.  Looking at their map it certainly appears that they did.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthage
