Flint striker, huh?

You do realize that a butane fueled candle lighter, even when it’s out of fuel, has a spark for ignition, right?

I can’t understand why those you-tube outdoorsmen who spend twenty minutes trying to start a fire didn’t pack some matches or something when they packed up the meat they’re cooking.

Yes, I have one of those as well. They’re very reliable, though awkward. They do last a long time, though.

I grew up learning how to start fires because I had two brothers in Scouting and my dad was the son of Pioneers. He knew how to start a fire and took great pains to make sure that we girls knew how to start one, too!

But, yeah — I agree with you.

Hey! Someone oughta write a song about YouTube Cowboys....

It’s more fun to start a fire the hard way, or so I’ve heard from some teenbros.
