I always used to carry a road flare, or railroad flare for back up to a zippo. Just build your fire, strike the flare and stick it under the wood. Go get some water for a tea, and go get more wood. I still carry the zippo, plus the matches. Now they have ? Triangle shaped pieces of??? You just strike them like a match and throw them under the wood, they burn longer than the matches. Good deal because I can't find any flares up here anymore. Cousin and another close friend used to work for Canadian pacific railway, cousins driving spikes for the Angels and friend is retired. At 70 I don't get to deep into the bush anymore but still can't get my head to think about being old. Was in cabelas the other day looking at a real, lite, waterproof, hooded rain coat. Then it clicked, if it's raining I'm not going out, if I'm out and it starts to rain I'm going home. Bill. 👣🐾👣🐾🇨🇦
