I've been in some pretty heavy weather and there haven't been many times I have given up on making fire. I like to find a little hidey-hole where I can hunker, get out of the weather and at least get little blaze working. Fire just isn't about heat. There's something that just makes a guy feel like anything is possible when there's a little fire working. As for body heat drying out clothes, sure, but I'm awful fond of fire.
