I always said why should I go out in the woods and be hot and miserable and mosquito bait (they love me), when I have a perfectly comfortable house?

At a party, when folks were snacking and drinking, we played a question game.

One question was 'How do you start a fire in a pouring rain'?

I gave my standard answer. Ex... #3, I think, said that a) she would call for room service for dry wood or b) use 5 gallons of gas and a road flare. Either way. She was going to be warm and have some fire. She didn't care. Very direct kind of person.

There is much wisdom in that choice, I think.

I figured your answer would be to call for a napalm run. ;-)

Must have a $5.00 magnesium firestarter. It can get soaked in freezing stream and light a fire (maybe not in pouring rain).

It has THOUSANDS of lights. We gave one to all on our Christmas list couple years ago.
