If I'm badly in need of a fire, the last thing I want to do is go digging through rotten trees looking for punk. I want something to light NOW. Playing mountain man isn't nearly as much fun when you're desperately in need of a fire. Besides, if you're out hunting coyotes in 5 million acres of sagebrush, finding a dead tree can take weeks.

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
― George Orwell

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
